IPTV legality and safety

Understand the questions to ask before using an internet television service in Canada.

IPTV is a delivery method

Internet Protocol television describes video delivered over an IP network. Whether a particular service may lawfully distribute a programme depends on the rights it holds and applicable rules; the technology itself does not establish that a catalogue is authorized.

Questions to ask a provider

Who operates the service and how can you contact them?
What content rights and geographic availability apply?
What are the renewal, cancellation and refund terms?
How are account details and payment information handled?

Protect your devices and account

Install apps from trusted sources, keep device software current, use unique account passwords and avoid sharing one-time codes or payment credentials. A VPN does not grant content rights or remove legal obligations.
