TV Home is a free live TV software, providing more than 2000 channels such as CCTV, satellite TV, local stations, as well as classic TV series, movies, variety shows and other content, which has been loved by many users. However, recently, the TV home suddenly announced the suspension of the service and promised to refund the membership fee, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some people miss the convenience of TV homes, some people question the legitimacy of TV homes, and some people look forward to the return of TV homes. So, why did TV homes suspend their services?Is it still possible to come back online?Is the era of free live TV over?
The suspension of TV services is related to the governance work of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. According to CCTV news reports, since August this year, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has jointly carried out the work of controlling TV "nesting dolls" and complex operations, requiring all TV large screen pages to set up free area entrances on the home page and first screen, and all paid programs must be clearly marked, so as to realize the live broadcast of cable TV when it is turned on.
In addition, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has also regulated the Internet TV live broadcast business, requiring all Internet TV live broadcast platforms to be approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and not to rebroadcast unauthorized TV programs without authorization. As an unapproved TV live broadcast software, the live broadcast content of TV Home comes from stolen TV station signals, which is essentially infringing. According to Tianyancha, the developer of the TV home, Beijing Audiovisual Technology, was involved in a number of copyright ownership and intellectual property ownership infringement disputes, and was sued by iQiyi, Youku and other ** platforms.
The operator of the TV home, Beijing Home Vision Technology***, has also been punished by the Beijing Municipal Administration for Industry and Commerce for using the "TV home" trademark without permission. Under the governance of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, it is difficult for TVHome and other similar live TV software to continue to exist, so they can only choose to suspend the service and refund the membership fee.
The suspension of the service of TV home reflects the regulation and supervision of the live TV market by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and also reflects the legality and sustainability of live TV software. Although TV provides users with free live TV services, the stolen signals and copyright infringement not only damage the interests of TV stations and platforms, but also affect the quality and safety of TV programs.
The suspension of TV services has also brought inconvenience and regret to users, but users should also understand and respect the copyright and authorization of TV programs, and choose regular TV live broadcast platforms and services. It is not yet clear whether TV will return, but the era of free live TV may be over, and the future live TV market will be more regulated and orderly.
