  • Subscription Television Piracy Sandvine Global Internet Phenomena Spotlight GLOBAL INTERNET PHENOMENACASE SPOTLIGHT STUDY
    Subscription Television Piracy Sandvine Global Internet Phenomena Spotlight GLOBAL INTERNET PHENOMENACASE SPOTLIGHT STUDY Introduction By producing or licensing TV, film, sports, and other premium content, network operators aim to create content libraries that increase the appeal of bundled offers (e.g., triple and quad play services), stand out from the competition, and provide exclusive value to their subscribers, all of which contribute to top-line revenue. For some operators, the video strategy is to deliver TV and video-on-demand (VOD) services exclusively via an app. Television content can be pirated in many ways. BitTorrent can be used to share files with peers, the media player app Kodi can be modified with unofficial add-ons, and even websites can host files that subscribers can easily stream in a browser. A new emergent form of subscription television piracy, that aims to replicate the live television experience offered by cable and satellite providers is seeing increased adoption in developed markets. Left unchecked, we expect this live television piracy trend to grow both due to the ease and relatively low cost of accessing unlicensed content and due to the facilities available on the internet for pirates to leverage. The risk to operators is enormous: continued adoption of pirate TV streaming services could lead to increased cordcutting, significantly impacting top-line revenue, overall profitability, and - by extension - undermining an important aspect of the business model of operators. IDENTIFYING SUBSCRIPTION TELEVISION PIRACY To better understand the problem of live television piracy services, Sandvine worked with several North American fixed access operators to research the adoption of subscription television piracy services on their networks.

  • How to Disrupt Television Signals.Htm
    2/8/2014 How To Disrupt Television Signals.htm Broadcast signal intrusion a term given to the act of hijacking broadcast signals of radio, television stations, cable television broadcast feeds or satellite signals. There are several techniques for disrupting or pirating broadcast signals, most of which have been made very difficult, or obsolete, by the move to digital television. Analog Techniques: Relay hijack Many analog relay transmitters would "listen" to a more powerful main transmitter and relay the signal verbatim. If the main transmitter ceased to broadcast (for example, when a channel closed down overnight) then a pirate signal on the same frequency as the main transmitter could cause the relay to "wake up" and relay unauthorized programming instead. Typically this would be done by outputting a very weak RF signal within the immediate vicinity of the relay: for example, a video cassette recorder (such as a 12v system designed for use in trucks) sending its signal to a home­made antenna pointed at the relay. As the pirate signal is relatively weak, the source can be difficult to locate if it is well hidden. Unsecured analogue satellite transponders have also been reported to have been hijacked in a similar manner. Unauthorized transmitter Reasonably powerful VHF/UHF transmitters can be built relatively easily by any electronics hobbyist, or imported from a less strict country. The primary challenge to this technique is finding a suitable yet inconspicuous vantage point for the transmission antenna. Analog or Digital Source hijack A “man­in­the­middle attack” is performed upon the source material, so that authorized official transmissions are fed with unauthorized programming from the central studio or play­out facility.

Scott Campbell certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PERFECTION, WRETCHED, NORMAL, AND NOWHERE: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN TELEVISION SETTINGS Committee: Chairperson* Date approved: ii ABSTRACT Drawing inspiration from numerous place image studies in geography and other social sciences, this dissertation examines the senses of place and regional identity shaped by more than seven hundred American television series that aired from 1947 to 2007. Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.
