It almost was funny, if it wasn't that you signed up to promote you illegal service

 

Area51 would actually be a more suitable handle.

 

 

I'm using the service, along with some others, and quite happy with it, no much other interests; otherwise I'd be more discrete probably 

And TVMucho is not the only one doing this, there's Locast in the US that acts as a signal booster and it works just fine 

I literally made a profile to post this since same things were bothering me for a while. Namely, the way I see it, to watch free-to-air satellite TV, you must first install a satellite dish. It is unencrypted, therefore there’s no need for additional equipment of such as descramblers in a case of subscription channels. Now, satellite dishes depending on the size can reach hundreds of dollars, excluding installation. Most of the northern France, and many other parts of Europe can catch BBC’s satellite footprint with a normal satellite, meaning they can easily watch it for free outside the UK. Hypothetically, with a dish large enough, you could reach the BBC footprint from any part of the world. Of course, such dish be tens of meters in diameter and would cost thousands of euros, but it’s technically possible.

From what I figured out from a brochure, it seems that TVMucho functions the same way. They state that TVMucho gives you something they call a Virtualized Satellite Middleware Solution, which is basically a virtual satellite receiver box and satellite dish. So instead of streaming a channel from their servers to you, they turn your device into an antenna. TVMucho has nothing with the stream itself, that’s why there are no ads or anything similar inserted into the programme.

They’re selling the virtual satellite antenna, not the content itself.

They are also appealing to some moral issues with free-to-air, but from technical point of this seems legit to me.
