This is, once again, the story of piracy. Getting an M3U to put into whatever client of your choice is a soooooo much better experience than using whatever garbage IPTV app polluted with tracking most of the major players offer. DVR? My client offers that… I don’t need to pay some BS “DVR Fee” for that. Want channels not offered by that provider? No problem, mux them together into a unified M3U using something like xTeVe. Don’t want 10000 channels of the same reality show with slightly different themes? Just delete them using the same tools.
- tetris11 3y agoWhere you do get a decent M3U playlist from though, and are they genuinely fast enough behind a proxy/VPN to watch something in realtime?
- selectodude 3y agoSports over illegal IPTV are pretty crappy. 2-3 minute delay in my experience.
- sircastor 3y agoI'm not really a sports fan so maybe this will expose my naiveté, but isn't this contextual? If your version is delayed by 2-3 minutes but you're watching at home on your couch, does it matter if you're behind?
- LegibleCrimson 3y agoIt does when your friends are also watching and somebody texts you "GOOOOOOAAALL" 30 seconds before you see it.
- IncreasePosts 3y agoFor the biggest games, maybe. You might hear your neighbors(or your whole neighborhood!) celebrate or groan and then 2 minutes later see the goal that caused that reaction.
- xydone 3y agoOut of curiosity, what M3U client do you use? Many recommend TiViMate but having to pay a premium for basic features seems stupid to me.
- teeray 3y agoI just use Jellyfin, and it works great for me
- beeboobaa3 3y agoRecently my TV provider has decided to put all their DVR features in the cloud. So I have a huge DVR with hard drives sitting under my TV that's now completely useless as far as they are concerned. Instead I get laggy replay functionality in their cloud that doesn't even work right and fails to record new episodes every so often. And of course it prevents fast forwarding through ads, which I'm sure is why they went with this bullshit solution.
- spazx 3y agoThat's so dumb. :( Fast forwarding through ads is half the reason for recording in the first place.
- chankstein38 3y agoWow, they killed the entire point of DVR for me. I'd be dropping them immediately.
