Some more filmon.com news about retransmitting channels without permission...

Several USA broadcasters filed a lawsuit against filmon this week, and as a result, filmon has pulled all main USA TV channels from their service - leaving only a handful of local TV channels.

(http://www.deadline.com/2013/05/alki-davids-filmon-ending-streaming-networks-in-dc/ ) -

"Alki David, the founder of Internet TV streaming service FilmOn, has said he will remove the US’s major broadcast networks from the platform. David’s move follows a May 23 filing in the Federal District Court in Washington DC of an action against FilmOn and Aereokiller, with ABC, NBC and Fox claiming copyright infringement."

So again, there is uncertainty about UK channels on filmon, as if the UK broadcasters follow suit, and are successful, then filmon broadcasting UK TV channels without permission, may also be removed... and may also affect the smart tv systems that use streams from filmon.
