The channels that can be watched on "NIJI" are as follows.


First of all, I tried to see how it works by actually starting "NIJI". (※ It is partially blurred)

I actually checked if "NIJI" is available - YouTube


As you can see from the above movie, it turned out that you can switch and view each channel one by one simply by double clicking.

E-mail address · Password · Confirmation password · Enter confirmation code and click "Registration Complete" to complete registration. Registration confirmation e-mail etc did not reach the registered e-mail address, but I feel that it seems better to self-defend using disposable e-mail address etc.


If you want to watch, double click on the channel you watch (NHK synthesis here). I could confirm the display of "NHKG" which is the logo of NHK synthesis. The screen is 4: 3 and the resolution is low but it is seen level.


Also, I was able to watch TV TOKYO even in an area where I can not see it regularly. We have confirmed that other 23 channels can be seen without problems.


The security and technology etc. of this software are confirmed with feeling like the following blog entry.

◆ Security Story
· There is no strange communication
I monitored the communication (HTTP, HTTPS) that this software does, but there was no noticeable strange communication. (There is a bonus)

· Server is China?
このソフトが中心として通信しているのは「http://ebox.myniji.tv:7006/」(HTTP)である。
Here we are returning user registration, login processing and TV channel list.
Although it can be understood from IP, there seems to be a server in China (according to Reply, Guangdong Province).

◆ Technical Story
· This software is a rapper like P2P video sharing software called SOP
Although the explanation of SOP client is on the following address, the viewing part is the SOP client as it is.

◆ Rights talk
Of course, it is a problem such as copyright that we talk about so far and become a topic.
If the distributor is China, it may be dealt with by laws of Japan, but I do not know if physical handling can be done.
Currently, the mechanism of rights is the same as KeyHoleTV. It is in a state of being distributed without permission.

Although it is unknown what purpose such software was made for the purpose and it is unknown where and how important information that is registered is important, it is certainly working at the present time, It is important to be aware of what develops.
