Pirate TV services are taking a bite out of cable company revenue Millions of North Americans are using illegal TV services, research finds.

From Ars Technica UK

<blockquote>
TV piracy services are being used by about 6.5 percent of North American households with broadband access, potentially costing legitimate TV providers billions of dollars a year, a new analysis found. Pirate services that offer live TV channels are apparently responsible for more downstream traffic each night than torrent downloads.

Based on these figures, there may be 7 million US and Canadian subscribers to pirate TV services that generally cost about $10 a month, the report by Sandvine said. That amounts to $840 million of revenue a year.

We don't know how many people using pirate services would purchase a traditional cable or satellite TV package if the piracy option didn't exist. But if all of those people instead purchased a legal TV package for $50 per month, that would amount to another $4.2 billion revenue a year for North American pay-TV providers, the report said.

"Our research reveals that across multiple tier-1 North American fixed access networks, 6.5 percent of households are communicating with known TV piracy services, and these services accounted for more than 6 percent of downstream traffic in the peak evening hours," Sandvine's new report said.

Sandvine is a vendor that sells equipment to consumer broadband providers to help them manage network congestion. Sandvine's findings are based on a 30-day period in August and September. The 6.5 percent figure "is a measurement of subscribers who were communicating with known IPTV services during that time," and could include people with active subscriptions as well as "people who have dormant subscriptions, or may just subscribe to day passes" to watch certain content, a Sandvine spokesperson told Ars.

I've never paid for a pirate IPTV subscription. Have any of you? Let us know your experiences. How is the quality and ease of use? Part of my cord cutting journey has involved a lot of hunting for good quality streams.

I'm really not sure. I took it to mean paid IPTV services but I suppose it could include the free/ad supported ones too.

Yes, If you are using a streaming app downloaded from a developer.
If you pay a subscription for netflix or whatever then no.
Hope that helps :D

I've used the odd one for sports and also a hacked firestick. Two things though, first I find a lot of these sites to be chocked with adware and malware.

Secondly I struggle with the fact that decreased revenues by the TV companies due to piracy, will lead to a lowering of quality. The fact remains that making good TV and film is an expensive business. Even without paying the actors it's still astronomical.

If I watch something I like, I want to support it, just like I do on Steemit. So I've almost entirely swapped TV for Netflix, I'm also thinking of getting Youtube Red and Patreon accounts.

Honestly? Knowing the prices, and the provided service for that price, in case of all these giant corporations, I'm not surprised.

Heck, I'm not even feeling sorrow for them. I'd use pirate TV services, too.

It's time for all those inefficient overpriced services to die out in favour of something better.

What will it take for the companies to form a "spotify" for movies and tv? "All" new movies and shows And how much would you (we) be willing to pay for it?

Now I spend maybe a total of $150/month on all the entertainment i need  (Spotify, Xbox Live+Gamers pass, and a few streaming services), go back 10 years and we're talking a waaaay bigger number on dvd's/cd's/games. So I'm happy to pay for the services, as long as they keep improving, and I really think they are.

I haven't had a TV since I moved out of my parent's house (2004).
I also haven't had a broadband internet for almost a year now. Is there anyway I can get free Internet without haven't to drive to coffee shops and libraries?

If they weren't so greedy people wouldn't pirate. We need a decentralized pirate tv. :)

In my opinion the cable industry is suffering because it refuses to provide consumers what they really want. Instead of forcing consumers to subscribe to packages, often full of content they do not want, the industry should offer compelling content based on a a-la-carte model and/or pay as you go. The cable industry can take some valuable lessons form music streaming services such as Spottify in order to shore up its rapidly evaporating market.

And even the content that's in high demand, that people do pay for - if you look at it for what it really is, is less entertaining than reading a Wikipedia page history. It breaks my brain what people find entertaining.
