I know it’s probably because there’s money to be made.

I just wish there was a good place to discuss IPTV providers that wasn’t full of sketchy resellers over promising and under delivering. You’d think they could at least sort out their EPGs as most I have used are like 80% complete at best.

Not asking for provider recommendations, not sure if that’s allowed here. Just wondering if y’all know of a place where that shit can be discussed in a neutral and honest environment?

    I don’t think I’ll ever sub to IPTV because of the community around it. I miss the days of setting up your own satellite dish and downloading the decryption keys.

      Honestly if it weren’t for sports and Jeopardy I wouldn’t bother. I wish more leagues went the way if F1 with their decent price and amazing app.

        Isn’t IPTV shit for sports or really anything popular? I’ve read there’s a tonne of buffering and quality problems… I dont watch sports but I have family and friends looking for a solution and ask me because they’re on my Plex server.

        Personally the *arr stack is perfect for what I do. When I want to watch something I’ll scroll through the recently added and pick something.

          If not for IPTV, how else do people pirate sports?

          I’ve had luck in the past and am having luck recently with a decent provider (buffering-wise, EPG is shit).

          I think buffering comes with the cheapest firesticks and the cheapest providers.
