Interesting that they're targeting IPTV over torrent sites.

Pirate IPTV is really good these days. Makes sense that rights holders are annoyed by it.

Yeah I agree, it's more consumer friendly and mainstream than more "traditional" piracy, so the potential for IPTV to impact their revenue is much greater. Once you start getting into torrenting and usenet and the *arr suite, then it's a much smaller percentage of people with the right skills, equipment, and inclination to make it happen.

Once you have an automated setup like that, is IPTV even worth it if you don't like live events?

[–] doona@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

IMO if you’re not interested in sport then it’s honestly pretty useless, unless you’re a boomer who can’t let go of the 24/7 TV channel paradigm.

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago

Ah, makes sense, thanks. I haven't really used IPTV before.

Hmmm. I don't believe I've tried pirate IPTV. What are the best pirate IPTV sites? So I can avoid them, of course.

the only iptv I get is from the iptv github, never had any luck finding much else then that, especially since the canadian iptv website died, I do wish we had better free epg

Never had good luck with IPTV. Wanna DM what service(s) are worth checking out?

But I'm not though. I just wanna watch live sports :(

It's honestly silly. I have a minor interest in Olympics coverage but it's so often difficult to be able to watch a sport or see more context from a meme that I just stop caring. Like imagine if you saw that shooting meme and thought "yeah I'll watch the whole thing" but you can't. The wheeling and dealing makes the whole thing harder to get excited about.

I have no interest in iptv ... like at all.
