Why Did Pirate Satellite TV Suddenly Stop Working?

Описание: 0:00 Sky viewing card
1:59 VideoCrypt

9:40 Amazon Fire T-V Stick
15:04 Sky Stream

I trace how pirate satellite telly went from cloned Sky viewing cards in the 1990s to modified Fire TV Sticks and illegal IPTV services today.

I explain how VideoCrypt, VideoGuard, card sharing and Sky’s card-pairing system changed the battle, as well as the legal fight involving Karen Murphy, the Red, White and Blue pub and Premier League football.

I also look at why Amazon’s Vega operating system, app blocking and the shift from Sky Q to Sky Stream are making illegal viewing far harder. Finally, I examine the cost of watching sport and entertainment legally, and why the satellite era may be quietly coming to an end.
