In a recent development, Xuper TV and Magis TV have faced widespread outages in Ecuador, which became apparent on February 10, 2026, when users reported persistent failures with the applications. The platforms, which were operating without official licenses, exhibited issues such as failure to load channel lists, connection errors, and in some cases, they disappeared entirely from smart TVs and mobile devices. This situation has been anticipated, given the increasing scrutiny these platforms were under due to legal investigations in neighboring Argentina.

The impact of the outages extended beyond Ecuador into Argentina, where Xuper TV and Magis TV were under judicial investigation for operating without the necessary permits. The timing of the interruptions coincided with legal measures enacted by Argentine authorities aimed at blocking illegal streaming services, including measures to shut down domains, IP addresses, and servers linked to these platforms. Such actions signaled a crackdown on the accessibility of illegal streaming in the region.

Unlike previous outages that were typically resolved promptly, this incident indicated a deeper and more systematic approach to blocking the services, as actions concentrated on disrupting the link points that allowed the applications to connect with their databases. As a result, this development raises questions about the future of streaming services in Latin America as regulatory frameworks tighten, potentially leading to further disruptions for users of these platforms in Ecuador and beyond.
