Its name is not as well known as other IPTV services, but its growing number of users has led this app to enter the blacklist of piracy services in the US.

On networks, we see how more and more users are encouraged to try this mysterious app, despite the multitude of security risks that someone has to incur in order to use it, due among other reasons to the fact that it is not available for download on the Internet. Google official store. Magis TV is an umbrella name that encompasses a multitude of IPTV lists, and to avoid the spotlight that is after it, it has made a radical change.

It was around April 2024 when this application began to become known among IPTV (Internet television) users, and in recent months, it has been gaining followers. As indicated on its website, Magis TV offers more than 900 live channels, and more than 5,000 movies and series in exchange for a monthly payment, including football and top sports.

Yes, this app requires us to pay a fee and offers us various plans, but the content it offers is not original. We can find content from other well-known payment platforms, as well as private channels, violating anti-piracy laws along the way.

Its popularity has grown so much that, a few days ago, the United States government considered Magis TV “one of the most notorious pirate services”, that is, one of the most used. Likewise, from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), they point out that «MagisTV is one of the most popular IPTV services in the world and operates mainly in Latin America. “The service provides unauthorized access to live sports broadcasts, television channels and on-demand movies and television shows to its customers for a monthly subscription.”

We thus see that Magis TV is in the spotlight, and that is why it has started a rebranding campaign to escape regulators. Magis TV has been renamed “Flujo TV”, a new name with which they seek to escape the bad reputation that the set of services behind Magis TV has earned among the industry and authorities. In fact, Argentina and Colombia have already issued orders to block all domains that make up the Magis service.

Pros and cons of Magis TV

Those who did not yet know about this tool may be attracted to try it, but the obscurantism of Magis TV makes it a very risky app for several reasons.

On the one hand, there is the fact that we have to download the APK from third-party websites since it is not available on the Play Store. In addition, its official page is usually blocked from Spain, so previously it has been necessary to use a VPN to access it (now, with the rebranding to Flujo TV, the situation may have changed). By downloading a third-party APK, we run the risk that it includes malware capable of stealing personal information or carrying out some type of espionage.

On the other hand, there is the fact of payment. The tool requires a monthly payment to operate, a minimum of $9 per month. The transaction is carried out through WhatsApp Business, which adds an aura of insecurity to the process. Furthermore, customers are not very sure what will happen to the subscription even if they pay for it, knowing that the authorities are going after this service.

Added to this is the distrust involved in using a pirate service for which you are also paying, which can make us fear a possible fine from a regulatory body.

Despite all this, many users have decided to take a leap of faith and trust this app, because it offers a multitude of paid content from different platforms and countries in a single $9 subscription, with which anyone saves more than having Prime Video, Netflix and Disney+ at the same time, for example.
