receive streamed tv/sports/movies free with internet

#359169

Post by dirtyjob »

I have stopped paying my cable provider for my tv subscription.
the heck with netflicks/on demand/cable/dish/satalite or any other service that wants your money and certainly forget those torrent sites that have risky downloadable content.

xbmc for the win!!

I now only pay for my internet.

I still watch tv and have access to any movie and any tv channels from all over the world I want, anytime i want, free, well i still have to pay for my internet.

I am one of many that have discovered xbmc. "nothing is downloaded to your pc", the tv/movies and sports are STREAMED over the net and do not stay in your machine, there is no difference between listening to an online radio station stream and watching streamed video/tv.

xbmc is a free open source media center that can use many addons, one of these free addons is called mashup and will enable you to receive streamed tv/sports and movies via the internet.
I have xbmc loaded on both my desk top and my laptop, my laptop is connected to my tv via an hdmi cable, pretty simple. i set up my desktop and laptop in 15 minutes.

All you need is an internet connection, no more do i pay for tv from my cable provider.

here is a vid i made of how it works and what it looks like.

How long before the Fed steps in and shuts it down? You know all the pay tv companies will cry once this is general public knowledge.

I have been asked that question many times, research the legalities of internet streaming, take for instance internet radio, I have been running an internet radio station for the past 8 years 24/7 I "the streamer" am required to pay BMI/ASCAP/SOUNDEXCHANGE and SESAC Royalties in order to play "stream" any artists that are under a label "which holds a copyright". The listener "receiver" is required to pay nothing.

Since nothing is downloaded "you retain nothing and can not burn to disc" for right now it falls under streaming laws thoughs doing the streaming hold the legal responibilities of copyright laws .

There is/was a bill in the USA trying to striKe down on streamers:
In order for videos to qualify as strikes against an individual, the infringed work must have a retail value of the streamed video that exceeds $2,500, or a license worth more than $5,000. To qualify the streaming must also be done for "personal financial gain".

The MPAA claims that it will only target website owners who "willfully and knowingly violated a copyright and profited from it." The organization says it will not look to prosecute those who "stream videos without intending to profit".
XBMC AND IT'S ADDONS ARE FREE and more importantly YOU are NOT the streamer.

It is pretty general knowledge, xbmc has only been around a little over a year but prior to xmbc there are popcorntime/crackle/reddit/projectfree/hulu/fomny and countless others.

BTW, if your in Canada it is totally protected under the Copyright Modernization Act :
- Use copyright protected material that has been published or made available to the public to create new works or “mash-ups” and post the new work online. This is only permitted if it is done for non-commercial purposes; if possible, the source of the copyright material is mentioned; the source material is not infringing any copyright; and the “mash-up” does not have a substantially adverse effect on the market for the copyright protected material. This exception has often been referred to as the “mash-up exception” or the “YouTube exception”.
Make a reproduction of copyright protected material as long as the source material is not an infringing copy; the material has been legally obtained; no digital lock is broken in order to access or copy the material; the reproduction is not given away to a third party; and the reproduction is only used for private purposes. For example, this exception allows consumers to copy songs purchased on iTunes from their computer onto their iPod or similar device. An important stipulation to this exemption is that consumers are not permitted to make a copy if the original version has been given away, rented or sold.


Since xmbc and it's addons are free open source they are classified as non commercial.



but lastly, as with anything, use at your own risk :)

Just received my new Minix Neo x8 quad core box for xbmc and don't need to buy a laptop to dedicate to the tv now. Watched Sunday's football game that I missed on nfl replay or rewind that is usually a pay service. Also watched the walking dead episode that I missed too. Thanks again for the heads up sir. You rock.

Thanks dirty...I'll give it a try as well. Our cable bill is outrageous monthly as a bundle (phone, internet, TV). I've been looking to cut most of that out as we use our cell phones 95% of the time anyway.

Will give it a try

Well, I know all good things must come to an end, but this sucks. Mashup is no more. Yes, you read that right. I cannot believe it. I don't think there is a comparable addon out there. What do we do dirty? Please tell me something good.

I saw this topic when it dirtyjob first posted it and thought it was interesting, I've been thinking about it since looking back at what we (the family) watches on TV is 90% off the air and the cost of satellite (I have Directv) or cable isn't getting any cheaper. I feel this is something to check out, will need to be a tad computer geek to keep up with what is here today but gone tomorrow in the programing. A lot of the programing talked about in the first couple posts are gone but others have taken their place.
