Miami television sold terabytes - Martí News

Cuban television today has a major competitor: the Miami, canned in external hard drives and Blue Ray DVD players, digital media entertainment that can assume the Cubans for a week or fortnight.

After 63 years on the air for the first time in Cuba and 52 to be under the protection of the Castro brothers, his worn, obsolete and politicized to the core content, makes the Cuban audience prefer the lighter and entertaining television programming Florida.

You can walk Havana Case Closed listening program of Dr. Polo, the last comedy programs of Alexis Valdes spaces Oscar Haza comments and telenovelas from Univision and Telemundo. programs of song and dance competition force. William Levi is an idol in Cuban homes. Right now, the saga Lobos Team is a contagion, not only in Havana, across the Island

Desperate digitilización

Al margin attempts to digitize and diversify Cuban television with imported materials, panel discussions, music, video clips, and Cuban national bill to Globo TV-style novels, copies of programs and foreign films vician – for good-our society.

Storage in videotapes, DVDs, flash drives or other digital media, seems to be small. External hard drives are trendy and casual copying open the business of terabytes convertibles.Se peso has become a priority for the Cuban buying external hard drives and flash drives larger than 8 gigabytes.

They appear dozens of advertisements for the sale of external porlalibre.com revolico.com or in its solid or conventional variant, hard disks is no accident. The demand for these supports increases as the wide range of novels and participation programs speaking.

The so-called “packages of the week”, offered at a price of two convertible pesos ($ 1.80) terabyte per copy, are part of a canned at best before the end of each week television.

Although most can not afford 120 or 130 convertible pesos (about 110 dollars or 100 euros) for hard drive conventional external, and those who can carry these brackets with the “packages the” behave like small distributors of audiovisual between the neighborhood.

business copiers

In tandem with the government’s approval to sell CD and DVD discs, business copiers came with pirated programming, recorded activity (number 22) in the agreements on the Exercise of Self-Employment.

Unlike costly and limited third dimension theaters recently closed by the government-the terabytes of canned television covering the different tastes of viewers, from the erotic films to documentaries and instructional programs.

Pay a terabyte a week is cheaper than a client in the few underground cable networks that survive. In addition to affordable prices, consumers “packages of the week” may choose dramatized series, novels and movies of your choice. For example the “Avenida Brasil”, a novel by Cuban Television shift in transiting its Chapter 31, Chapter 96 wheel in many DVD players and home computers.

Criminalization of satellite dishes

In a country where the main obstacle to access the Internet are the state expense and satellite television is punishable by up to 30 thousand dollars fine (about 1 $ 400), programs like Voice of Spain or the Voice of America can be downloaded from the web after its airing.

The State opens a significant technological investment in digital television, a project with China that will take the analog blackout 2021. However, it appears that end the obsolescence of radio and telecentre controlled by the state, joined the revolution and TV programs proposed new format does not seem to include the diversification of content.

Although the end of the tunnel aesthetic, cultural and competitive redefining national television programs bill looms, the terabytes of canned television take the lead.

Then we must ask if the Cuban government will note on this informal market for foreign audiovisual, as it did with 3D cinemas and so-called “satellite dishes” illegal.

Currently, if the food in Cuba in a matter of family priority, television Miami, canned in flash memories, too.
