The eye is closed
We deleted the engine we'd just gotten right, shipped its browser-native replacement, rebuilt the mobile player — and, on the last night, closed the logo's eyes to match the promise.
The eye is closed.
The live IPTV you already pay for, played properly: guide, search and the picture on one screen. In your browser now; the TV app is in development. Your provider sees twiga’s address, not yours, and the server never looks at the picture.
Private beta, free while it runs. An invite code and a key your browser makes; no email, no password, no card.
From the journal.
The player.
Sign in with your key from any modern browser and your channels and favourites are already there.
The player, rebuilt from its own parts with a stand-in lineup.
The promise.
Your provider sees twiga, not you.
Every stream leaves from one of twiga’s own exits, so your provider sees our address beside the account you pay for, never your home IP. The guide is fetched over Tor.
Your login is yours.
Your browser makes the key, and the key is your login: no email to confirm, no password to reset. What we store is ciphertext, opened in server memory while you’re signed in and wiped 30 minutes after your session goes quiet, on sign-out and on every restart. Keep the recovery code; lose both and the login is gone, and we can’t bring it back.
The server never looks at the picture.
There is no decoder on the server. Bytes in, the same bytes out, decoded in your browser. The picture your provider sends is the picture you get, and nobody in between has watched it.
One stream at a time.
Nothing is shared or fanned out between users; open a second and the first stops. We would rather say no than burn your line.
Who sees what.
- Your ISP
- An encrypted connection to twiga.tv, and that you use twiga.
- Your provider
- One of twiga’s addresses, and its own account in use.
- twiga
- Channel names, so search and the guide work. Your IP arrives with the connection and goes nowhere: it isn’t logged.
What twiga can’t do.
It can’t supply channels, it can’t play your movies and series, it can’t reset a login without your recovery code, and it isn’t on your TV yet. The longer list.
Questions people ask.
We can’t see you.
Neither can they.
