In all today's newspapers, one of the main news concerns the operation of the finance guard against the pirate pay TV Xtreme Codes, an IPTV platform that functioned as a framework usable by other retailers. The Xtrem Coders program provided everything necessary to make sure that other subjects (we could say the mafia) could create subscription "panels". End customers could therefore watch virtually every streaming content, including Sky and Dazn football games, Film on demand, Netflix and every paid content. To use this platform in a super simple way, it was enough to use an Android TV Box or a modified adapter technically called a set top box (and in Neapolitan jargon called with the name Pezzotto ) with the IPTV already configured. The finance guard then cut the head of this huge illegal multimedia distribution system.
As happened also for Torrents in the past and with the Kodi program, also IPTV are now having an illegal connotation, while illegal is only their fraudulent use. In fact, in fact, IPTVs actually represent the future of television and even though there are few suppliers and few legal IPTV offers, it is very likely that all of us have already used them.
Most televisions do not support IPTV, because it may not have the software inside that "translates" what you receive via Internet connection into a format readable by TV. It therefore becomes necessary to have a device or decoder called a set-top box which decodes the incoming signals so that the TV can display Internet programs. Using a computer, on the other hand, it is possible to stream the IPTV signal also because it is enough to install the right program to do it. At that point, just mirror the PC screen on the TV to pass the signal from the PC to the TV. toLive IPTV : Live streaming TV channels that work like traditional TVs, where you can't go back or choose what to watch. Examples of this type are platforms such as DAZN to watch football matches or free online channels to watch TV via the internet, such as RAI channels or Mediaset online channels. Interactive IPTV services : This is the most revolutionary and innovative type of IPTV, the one that allows you to watch live broadcasts and even video on demand without having to worry about losing the episode of your favorite TV broadcast. What is created is a personalized interactive TV, made from the combination of traditional TV videos with videos from the Internet. This opens up the possibility of a much more interactive experience in which TV presenters will be able to interact with people at home almost directly, as if they were in the studio.
Sky, in its Sky Q offer, includes its interactive IPTV, the possibility of seeing one channel, recording another, pausing and so on.
Illegal Pay TV retailers did nothing but use regular decoders to receive videos from subscription platforms and then, via their servers, redistribute them via the internet through a coding of the decoder signal, in real time.
Obviously, if you are looking for paid channel lists, then the use of IPTV becomes illegal. This is the same principle seen in the guide on how Torrent download works, legal in principle, but illegal the use that is made of it if you download copyrighted material.
The main problem of pirated IPTV is that related to their unreliability, because the links of streaming TV channels change constantly and sometimes they are closed and deactivated after a few hours, maybe even while you are seeing something.
Even worse are the illegal paid services (just search on Ebay to find many), which have prices between 5 Euros and 15 Euros per month, without any regulation and insurance that the service can work. Furthermore, by sending payments, you are also registered with the consequent risk of being prosecuted and fined.
In conclusion, pending to see a real transformation of traditional TV into IPTV, it is still convenient to pay for a subscription service from one of the popular sites to watch movies streaming on the internet or one of online services to watch football streaming on PC and TV .

What are IPTVs
IPTV stands for " Internet Protocol Television " with IP standing for IP address. So it means that the television signal, instead of coming from the antenna or a decoder, comes from the internet connection. With cable or satellite TV, broadcasters send signals and viewers receive them and you can only watch what is being broadcast, so unless you have a recording device, you can't stop playing video or go back. . IPTV is different: instead of transmitting content via light pulses in a fiber optic cable or radio waves from a satellite, IPTV sends television broadcasts and films through the standard Internet connection and leaving the technical issue aside, using IPTV you are not forced to watch what is broadcast by the broadcaster, but can choose what to watch. It's practically the same principle as Netflix, with the difference that instead of movies and TV shows you can watch TV programs.Most televisions do not support IPTV, because it may not have the software inside that "translates" what you receive via Internet connection into a format readable by TV. It therefore becomes necessary to have a device or decoder called a set-top box which decodes the incoming signals so that the TV can display Internet programs.

Are all IPTVs illegal?
As mentioned above, IPTV is the future of television, so it is absolutely not illegal. Each TV channel that can be viewed via the Internet becomes an IPTV that can be viewed through special applications. The problem is that these free-to-air channels are few and even if they are broadcast from their respective websites, they do not support true IPTV. In order to create an IPTV system where you can change channels without going to the TV site, you will therefore need to download applications that organize the link lists (in the form of m3u files). We have talked about this in more articles, such as the one to upload IPTV lists to be seen on Smart TV, Android Box, Chromecast etc. and the guide to streaming on Amazon Fire TV and Chromecast.Obviously, if you are looking for paid channel lists, then the use of IPTV becomes illegal. This is the same principle seen in the guide on how Torrent download works, legal in principle, but illegal the use that is made of it if you download copyrighted material.
The problems of pirated IPTV
Pirated IPTVs, however, are by no means a good idea even though they might seem so. To begin with, there is a small risk of being prosecuted, even if it seems really unrealistic to think that thousands of closed IPTV users could be tried these days.The main problem of pirated IPTV is that related to their unreliability, because the links of streaming TV channels change constantly and sometimes they are closed and deactivated after a few hours, maybe even while you are seeing something.
Even worse are the illegal paid services (just search on Ebay to find many), which have prices between 5 Euros and 15 Euros per month, without any regulation and insurance that the service can work.
