Telecable urges caution as more and more customers sign up for pirate IPTV services
The communications company offers secure television and internet access in Alicante and Murcia
There are a host of live TV and sports streaming options on the market to watch television in English while in Spain, and while most are legitimate, some are illegal and can threaten cybersecurity.
More and more customers are signing up for pirate IPTV services for a significantly reduced price, usually a yearly fee, in addition to a wide range of channels offered.
However, when one of these services stops operating, customers must pay a connection fee to another service in order to continue enjoying the channels.
It still sounds like a fairly good deal, but all may not be as good as it seems with pirate IPTV systems, warns Telecable, which has been operating for nearly 30 years in Alicante province and more recently in Murcia, offering a fast, reliable and professional communications service for non-Spanish speaking households.
Nowadays, the control of Pirate Television is more exhaustive and ongoing, and new technologies are introducing flags to mark the Virtual Private Networks (VPN) thus detecting a security breach when logging in with an IP address included in the list of servers.
If a match is found, the transmission of the information is blocked immediately, which will interrupt the connection with the server.
"There is nothing that can be done by Telecable about this, since we only provide the Internet service and guarantee it works correctly. We cannot change the IP the source is accessed from. We do not manage nor create the alerts or flags used to classify these VPN. Therefore, we have nothing to do with the pirate IPTV broadcasts," reads a company statement.
It is important to know that if your service has been blocked, the reason could be that VPN that retransmitted the international channels has been detected and that the provider could be facing legal issues.
However, it is not only the provider who is committing an offence. The person paying for the service is also liable, and technology is advancing all the time to detect these subscribers.
It's also worth remembering that if these VPNs have been detected it is because they are not completely safe, which means user security could also be at risk and personal information might not be protected.
If you are looking for a trustworthy HD Television service, the best option is to sign up with a provider that has the appropriate licenses and permits for the rebroadcasting.
