A colleague wants me to get this. Its $100 odd per year, he will come out and install it. My colleague has a Firestick but its now an app. Its clearly illegal as it has everything, including the AK\J/Usyk PPV fight this weekend and Spark Sport! There is no app so I guess he side loads the APK? 

 

Does anyone control this? And how do they get all this "massive" free content? It has everything Im told including heaps of US/UK, Showtime etc.

If youve got to ask, its not legal is the usual answer :D

 

It used to be done via stolen accounts - they'd just relay a legitimate source.

There were a couple of high profile busts last year where 'wholesalers' would pay people to have PayTV services installed at their house with capture equipment. Every now and then I see ads for services like this on local Facebook groups.

Companies like the one you mentioned buy these channels and then resell them to end users like you.

All very illegal but fora few dollars reward some people are happy to install a dodgy little box with a built-in server to share their channels, without knowing what that box is doing. Until one day they are just part of a massive DDoS and don't even realise.
