Recently, many people are complaining that they can't watch live TV after buying TV? Or do you have to charge for watching live streams? I wondered, didn't you have to pay for TV when you were a child?
When I bought a TV as a child, I could start watching live TV directly by pulling up the antenna, but do you remember how many stations you could see? How clear is it? Remember that snowflake?
The reception and viewing of live TV signals, later there was a broadcast cable TV, and then upgraded to digital TV, TV channels began to increase, hundreds of channels, but 20+ RMB per month viewing fee do you forget?
In fact, the current TV set can also watch live TV without the Internet, go to buy an eight-strand antenna, in the place where the ground wave signal coverage is good, you can receive CCTV comprehensive, CCTV agriculture and the province satellite TV and other channels for free, this is the signal broadcast that the state forces radio and television to do everywhere, but free things you know, even government units, the current high-rise buildings, the transmission of ground wave signals is still very large, Therefore, some people have to pull the antenna to the roof of the building to the direction of the signal tower to receive the signal, and some people can receive a live TV signal by pulling a ground wave signal indoors!
The most troublesome thing about the networking of smart TVs is actually boot advertising, which is the value-added entrance of TV sales manufacturers. As for the on-demand resource charge, this is actually very simple, where the resources are, how to charge the mobile phone, the TV side is also charged, but the TV side has an additional radio and television authorized operation platform, such as CIBN, GITV and other platforms, so the TV side charges are more expensive.
Going back to live broadcasting, the New Year's Eve Gala of David TV, CCTV Spring Festival Gala, these important live TV events, at least for these years on Xiaomi TV, have been providing free synchronous entrances, some of which are provided by other brands, and some are not.
And if you want to watch live TV for free through the Internet every day, then you can only search for various live broadcast apps on Baidu, such as: TV Home (with advertising, VIP charged), Watch TV TV in seconds (currently free), Little Whale TV TV (currently free), Yunhai TV TV (currently free), download the computer to the USB disk, and then copy it to the TV set to install it to watch live TV. However, the live TV software on the network has a common problem, that is, free in the early stage, and when the user base is more, the channel begins to add advertising channels, with the advertising channel user base has not decreased and continues to climb, then the VIP of the live broadcast software charges to the advertising service will come, the free highest-definition live broadcast source is also summarized into the paid service, and the clarity of the live broadcaster in the free area is much worse.
However, because the copyright of live TV is ultimately in the hands of radio and television, these live broadcast apps are taking the path of piracy to put it bluntly, so there will be various unstable phenomena, key programs are cut off signals and other riotous operations (pinching signals is actually that the program has a special copyright protection statement, once the hotlink app is launched copyright prosecution, it cannot be hurt).
And radio and television is also currently launching its own official live broadcast app, is currently encountered by smart TV users in individual areas, built-in live broadcast services in the smart TV system, there are called "broadband TV", there are also called "cable TV", because it is the official operation of radio and television, so you watch a CCTV 1 set or any other channel beyond the trial time is prompted to pay, it is also very normal, after all, the live TV service provided by radio and television has always been charged.
Let's go back and talk about the charging service of on-demand resources for movies and television provided by smart TVs.
Domestic video copyright resources are very scattered, and platforms such as iQiyi, Youku, Tencent and Mango all have many unique copyright resources of their own. At the beginning of the launch of smart TV, it generally only cooperated with one platform for copyright film and television resources, but with the development of users and the trend of the industry, in order to meet the needs of users to achieve a more comprehensive film and television resources, so they will cooperate with other platforms one after another, so there is a problem of opening VIP for various copyright suppliers, which is commonly known as member matryoshka dolls!
However, in the past, when we were children, we watched TV/movies in addition to live TV broadcasts, did we have to buy a DVD player, or no matter how ancient we wanted to buy a VCR, but with a DVD player and VCR, can we watch movies? No, you still have to rent or buy discs/videotapes, don't you? From the purchase of playback equipment to the program, you are paid for every link, so now smart TVs provide various copyrighted film and television dramas, allowing you to open VIP charging services on various platforms, is it wrong?
Therefore, you bought a TV, installed broadband, and enjoyed richer program resources than broadcast and television digital TV, but you also have to complain about the various payments of current smart TVs in terms of film and television copyright resources, is this reasonable?
