ivi TV To Allow US TV Shows Streamed Worldwide Via IPTV
US Company ivi TV is set to offer the world, the chance to view US TV shows over a broadband IPTV connection. They will then be able access other TV shows like The Mentalist, Law & Order and Two & A Half Men prior to the shows going on air in their Country.
The move has angered Hollywood studios and TV stations who have threatened to sue if the service is not withdrawn.
ivi TV is a brand new IPTV service that offers viewers access to top US TV content via a downloadable app that works wherever there is an Internet connection. Users can get access to TV shows weeks before the same shows going on air in their own Country on free to air tvnetworks.
ivi TV are offering the service for US$4.99 a month. All that is required is a broadband connection”.
Content that is available are US NFL games which are shown on Fox Sport as well as high rating shows from the US ABC, NBC and CBS networks.
Bringman from ivi TV said that the new service “Converts Internet connected device into a television as soon as the application which is available for windows, Mac and Linux is downloaded”.
“ivi is not another Pirate Bay or Napster trying to gain from others’ works. Rather, ivi wishes to work with content owners in helping them to realise new revenue streams and reach more viewers from around the globe. The ivi team has spent more than three years developing this technology and no other company has come close to matching it”. Todd Weaver, founder and CEO of ivi TV said.

Looks like this company have already received cease-and-desist letters from the big networks.
NBC Universal, CBS Broadcasting, Fox Television Stations, Disney, Major League Baseball and others.
The letters allege that ivi, which allows users to watch live TV programming over the Internet from anywhere in the world, does not have permission from the content owners to rebroadcast the programming.
In one of those letters, NBC Universal attorney Daniel Kummer said that ivi’s claim that it is operating within the law is “nonsense, and has no merit.”
