    Good Morning,
    Thank you for reaching out! At this stage there is no other option (without reducing your plan) as we are unable to split the service. Sharing the network is not advised encase either of us interrupt the others download/upload etc. Thank you for understanding.

    Hi Aimee,

    What are you using these streams for?
    • Advertising monitoring?
    • Rebroadcasting on a digital app/service?
    • International / offshore services / monitoring?
    • Something else?
    If people are going to host some hardware in their house for a third party service, would be interesting to understand what it's being used for?

    Also, if there's any legal issues with rebroadcasting or reuse of public television signals, who's liable in this case?

    Good Morning yday,

    Thank you for reaching out and your questions.

    We are a media monitoring firm, so clients who receive news coverage either frequently or sporadically use our services to track where and when they are mentioned.

    We have provided services of this type for print and online content for some time now, and are in the process of expanding our broadcast monitoring services.

    As we are primarily an Australian firm the majority of our focus is on the Australian market, and we mostly provide our services to Australian companies of all sizes ranging from small businesses to large corporates, as well as working on technical products which we offer to other companies in our industry.

    We have been in the media monitoring industry for 25 years working with online, print and broadcast content, while there are other companies in this space in Australia as well such as iSentia. It is perfectly legal to record and utilise broadcast content, as long as it is done pursuant to the relevant copyright regulations and licencing standards.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Have a nice day!

    Thank you,
    Aimee

    Just to clarify, are you only monitoring the FTA channels or are you backers wanting streaming services for this particular project. I'd hate for volunteers to be going to court for providing FTA broadcasts for a company to sell the broadcasts.

    Distributing or using recorded content for commercial purposes (like selling copies, public performances, etc.) is illegal... but this company is not doing anything like that.

    Hi Bucket23,
    Thank you for sharing your concern.
    Just to confirm we are not doing anything illegal, we are complying with the current legislation and licencing agreements. We wouldn't want our amazing hosts or our company to be in any trouble, we have taken all the necessary steps to ensure correct processes are followed.
    Thank you,
    Aimee
