When television is being watched by subscribers or customers from streaming IPTV providers such as NuMedia and others, they are usually on what is referred to as a carriage deal which was negotiated before they launched their service to the public.

Nearly all Television networks negotiate carriage deals with the content providers. There are scales that determine how much the fees will be to the IPTV service based on how many customers the service has viewing their content. There are negotiations that determine how much the providers will pay and where channel streams can be watched.

We have seen carriage deals that don't allow the operator to provide services outside of the customers home but that wouldn't work in today's world where most customers use their phones and tablets to view their TV on a regular basis.  This forces the IPTV providers to pay more money for that license, to meet the demands of their subscribers.

In the end it really comes down to how much you want to pay based on the level of service you wish to provide your subscribers. This is why all streaming IPTV services are not the same.  Some pay just the bare minimums that the Networks ask for, while others like NuMedia pay more to offer more features and a higher quality service.

Some channels that are purchased under these carriage deals are licensed in blocks from a wholesale channel aggregator, but deals for premium channels such as HBO and NFL channels are usually negotiated individually and are expensive and once again are necessary to compete in the IPTV market.

Many times IPTV providers must agree to ‘minimum guarantees', meaning the IPTV operator pays a minimum price regardless of many customers actually subscribe to their service making it a risky gamble on the provider's end. That is why TVizion over delivered when it launched.

Many smaller IPTV services cannot afford the costs to get premium channels because smaller operators don't have the necessary money at hand to launch their service. These IPTV brands come and go.  It takes a lot of money to start a streaming IPTV service if you want to do it right.

TVizion is a “Master Reseller” from our aggregator and didn't have customer base cash or flow problems and it didn't plan on failing, so they over delivered with their channels, added some great support and kept prices as low as they could.

So yes NuMedia is legal.
