Probably why people were hacking Mikrotik routers to place proxy servers on them. And why there are proxy server / VPN blacklists.

They check every time you launch it. Not hard to do, but I'm guessing the average Joe wouldn't know how.

NFL can't charge you for NFL network if you can watch the game you want on the local channel to the game if you are out of market. This causes stress on the arrangement say CBS and the NFL have. You could say FU its free... but the DMZ's and FCC licenses never envisioned that content being on the other side of the country. Also your viewership isn't tracked by Nielsen, so it won't increase ad buy revenue for the station. If anything it would hurt the local affiliate if your watching CBS in New York City instead of CBS in Dallas. If CBS allowed it, the affiliates would be upset. Also there is a strong slippery slope argument they feel, just like many do on gun control or prayer in the schools. If they cede ground to IPTV streaming, they fear the entire value of the local transmission rights will be diminished (and those licenses are valuable... don't have doubt in that). <https://atheral.co/wp-content/uploads/Atheral-Logo-Vertical-Grad-150px-x-86px.png> Daniel White Co-Founder - Business Development & Operations phone: +1 (702) 470-2766 direct: +1 (702) 470-2770 3172 N Rainbow Blvd PMB 20394 Las Vegas, Nevada 89108 <https://www.facebook.com/getatheral/> <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPZv-EsGCj8LXfzylwCrjQ> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/atheral/> Mathew Howard wrote on 8/14/19 10:06: What I can't figure out, is why do they even care? Aren't all they doing is providing the local OTA channels to the same area that they're available to OTA? it's not like they're giving people access to channels in the wrong market... it seems like the broadcasters should be happy they're making it easier for people to watch their commercials...
