Pirate IPTV Supplier One Box Fails to Put up a Defense, Ordered to Pay $3.8m

In 2019, 'pirate' IPTV supplier One Box TV found itself on the wrong end of a DISH Networks lawsuit. Filed in a Florida court, the complaint alleged that the IPTV provider was transmitting DISH programming unlawfully via the Internet. After failing to put up a defense, the company and its owner have now been ordered to pay $3.8m in damages. The case has been ‘progressing’ for months without input from defendants so it’s no surprise that DISH and NagraStar moved for a default judgment.
