so let's dive into it start off with a

deal of the day the Fire TV stick the HD

this is a really good price for a backup

Fire TV stick or maybe you want to get

one for a Christmas present next year

you can stock up now you need a promo

code though I'll pull a link to the

story down below the promo code is in

there you need to use that promo code at

checkout to get this deal but if you

want the Fire TV stick 4K you can get

that right now for 34.99 Link in the

show notes down below for all the

details all right let's talk about IPTV

Services IPTV services are a generic

term for a live TV streaming service

that offers a ton of channels really

cheap a lot of these are not legal with

this and they argue that they are but

increasingly it's been proven in courts

that they're not and that's where one

owner has found themselves in the owner

of Gears TV or gears reloaded it's gone

by both names this week learned that he

will be spending

um time in jail and have to Forfeit 30

million dollars in assets both in cash

and in physical property this comes as

he argued that what he was doing was 100

legal for a long time and he operated in

a gray area we're lost in apply

found out that wasn't true now last year

Congress did make it very clear they

passed new law to clearly point out that

these IPTV services that are streaming

their content without the permission of

the content owners is not legal the FBI

and others have lot argued that no this

has always been illegal under the

copyright

um terms here and the intellectual

property rate terms when it comes to

this content

um he argued he had the right to do it

now the he's been found or end up

pleading guilty and getting 30 million

dollars have to pay back to the cable

companies and over five years in jail

not something that I think a lot of

people want

be careful when it comes to streaming

services there's a lot of streaming

services that will promise you

everything in the sun very very cheap

and often get questions are these legal

or not and for a long time people argued

wow you know it's a civil issue it's a

civil issue well increasingly this has

become a criminal issue and FBI and

other groups have gone after IPTV

companies for criminal charges for this

so keep that in mind I've also heard

from a lot of people not necessarily

with this service but with others that

when they get shut down if you prepay

for a year for example your service is

just gone and you're not going to be

able to use it and you're not going to

get a refund so just be careful when

you're using online

do your research if it sounds too good

to be true like your grandma says you

probably know how that ends but

be interesting to see what happens at

the peak here though he had about a

hundred thousand subscribers paying at

least 15 a month that works out to 1.5

million dollars every month that's a

very profitable business you probably

understand now why so many companies or

people are launching these illegal IPTV

Services because if you could just get a

hundred thousand people that's a million

plus dollars a month every month that's

a pretty good paycheck you can kind of

understand why people will want to do

that so keep an eye on it let me know

have you ever seen these have you ever

been tempted are you less likely to use

them now leave me a comment let me know

all right good news if you're a fan fan

of Major League Baseball and you are a

T-Mobile customer once again for I

believe it's the eighth year in a row

somebody leave me a comment if this is

wrong Major League Baseball will offer

MLB.TV for free now

um there's a couple days you have to pay

attention to if you want to get this

you're gonna have to go in the T-Mobile

Tuesday app between March 28th and April

4th and claim your MLB.TV

um deal this will give you free access

to allow Market games blackouts to apply

for in-market aired games but and also

it's not available for games that you're

on peacock or Apple TV so keep that in

mind but I've been getting a lot of

questions will they be doing this again

there's a lot of people wondering if

they would because T-Mobile launched the

Major League Soccer

um deal that's very similar good news

yes it is back you can get it those are

the dates if you want to learn more

check out the show notes down below I'll

pull link to this there

all right vidgo the live TV streaming

service has been getting a lot of news

recently they added a ton of new content

including the Tennis Channel and over 10

000 on-demand movies and TV shows has

now announced that they've teamed up

with Sony vidgo and Sony have teamed up

um to give Sony TV customers a 30-day

free trial of the service plus it's now

available on Sony Smart TVs this is

Sony's uh I think biggest partnership in

the world of live TV streaming since

they had PlayStation Vue who here is an

OG

and remembers PlayStation Vue it was

wildly popular live TV streaming service

that I think Sony badly mismatched a lot

of people thought you needed a

PlayStation to use it because it was

called PlayStation Vue when you didn't

and I think that really hurt it much so

other bad decisions that Sony made I

could probably do an hour-long lecture

and all the mistakes that Sony made out

with that but

go starts at 64.95 for its English

package gives you over a hundred

Channels with that package it's a really

good deal especially with college

football fans a lot of the college

football networks are in there check it

out but um again if you're have a Sony

TV you want to try a 30-day free trial

something you don't see a whole lot of

anymore is these lengthy free trials or

sometimes any free trial at all

right looking for new internet ATT has a

great deal right now 18t fiber is

offering up to 350 back in rewards cards

basically a little credit card gift card

you can use if you sign up and switch

over to ATT Fiverr details are in the

post but you need two promo codes to get

this you need at checkout to do two

promo codes and you can only do this

deal online not in stores so check it

out if you're thinking about

um switching ATT Fiverr 350 bucks back

is a pretty good deal with that

also if you're thinking about stocking

up another great deal of the day Amazon

is offering 20 off of Amazon basic

products when you pay spend 50 bucks or

more I was actually amazed I found in

there I was looking that they have razor

blades very similar to the Gillette

razor blades I use

and we'll give them a try they're less

than half the price of what gillette's

charging for their razor blades and

honestly I think it's cheaper than most

every

um Razer Blade company I've ever looked

at but it's got that flexible ball I

really like so I'm gonna give these a

try maybe I'll do a review of them over

on the breakdown YouTube channel we'll

see

and lastly roku's get a new CFO Chief

Financial Officer won the top commanders

in Roku is a former Amazon executive

joining the Roku team this will he'll

join in May the current CFO already

announced late last year he'll be

leaving in August so from May to August

they will work hand to hand to make sure

smooth transition but some change up in

the Roku leadership we'll have to wait

and see what happens

that's it for today I hope you have a

fantastic day don't forget to hit that
