Question 1

Is Sporio TV legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sporio is a discovery directory that helps users find publicly available live TV streams. It does not host, store, record, re-broadcast, or re-stream any content; all streams are owned and controlled by third parties and were already publicly available elsewhere.

Question 2

Does Sporio need a broadcasting license?

Accepted Answer

No. A broadcasting license is required to transmit or host television content. Sporio does neither. It is an index and discovery layer that links to streams third parties have already made publicly available, comparable to a search engine or an electronic TV guide, so a broadcast license is not required for this model.

Question 3

Does Sporio host or stream the channels?

Accepted Answer

No. Sporio does not host, store, or stream any channel. All video is delivered by the third-party providers that already make those streams publicly available. Sporio only helps users discover and navigate to them by country, language, and category.

Question 4

How can a network or rights holder remove a listing?

Accepted Answer

Verified networks, broadcasters, and rights holders can request removal at any time. Upon verification of ownership, Sporio promptly stops listing the channel. Because Sporio does not host the underlying content, removal ends the directory listing only.
