Tell me more about this. I currently download anything I want and just run it through plex. If i really wa t to watch a game that badly and streams east sucks I run a restaurant with all that. frick paying these people

do you already have a plex server? you'll need that but if you dont want to jump through all those hoops, likely a $20 ONN android stick and an IPTV service will get you where you need to be without alot of extra costs.

i chose plex because i wanted to be able to watch TV regardless of device. IPTV is fantastic for phones and computers but a little more challenging when it comes to the main place you want to watch..TVs!.

eta just give me some background and i can walk you through it. there's a thread on the tech board if you want to take this discussion over there.

Yea, and how much are you spending at the restaurant? I’m not that douche that bellies up to a bar for 4-6 hours while ordering water because I’m too cheap to pay for TV.

Also, if I’m having company over I don’t want to say….ok guy, it’s not working. Let’s run around the streets all hours of the night and peek through windows at restaurants to see a game.

I am amazed at people who are so obtuse that they are proud of being ignorant.

You might want to try to bully someone that is actually ignorant. IPTV is completely legal and like a Flipper or a laptop it can be used in a 100% legal way.

However, your post:

And I get 45,000+ channels, all pay per view, Sunday Ticket, 120+ channels of college FB, 100,000+ movies on demand….

I paid $110 for a year.

This is clearly illegal and theft. It is one of the big draws of IPTV. Just man up and admit you are a thief. You are no different than someone that walks out of CVS without paying but your situational morality allows you to justify it not much different from what the CVS thief does.

Just got off the phone with them and cancelled. I got YouTube TV right before the game. Going to stick with that for now.

You also don’t get… internet.

I don’t get internet for that price either. I’m paying an extra $40 for that.
$200 is just for the cable, and over $70 is fees and taxes.

The primary law covering copyright infringement in the US was passed in 1998. According to the law, penalties and fines were to be imposed against people who provided copyrighted content without the appropriate license. However, streaming was a loophole in the DMCA, as the terms of the law only applied to downloads.

This loophole was recently closed, however. An extensive COVID relief bill passed in December 2020 included measures that made illegal streaming a felony. Under US law, streaming content via illegal IPTV services can lead to up to 10 years in jail.

However, the new law clarifies its stance on who’s guilty. The Protecting Lawful Streaming Act prosecutes those operating illegal streaming services rather than those using them.

I’m finished arguing with you. Pay $3,000 a year all you want. I’m content with a clean conscience.

Went with You Tube TV 3 years ago. Never going back to DTV.
