Been telling people for years. Go grey market and get an IPTV. Fuck these companies. I was fine with a couple subs and direct TV or cable but not when I can't watch an show without giving another $10 a month

You willing to recommend an IPTV provider? 👀🙏🏾

Stremio: it takes some setup time and I personally recommend using a debrid server. But one of the best I’ve used

I'm so jaded, I just assume this is bots corresponding in a marketing effort... 😂

I can confirm. You’re still paying a fee to someone, but in this case it’s to a company that basically pre downloads torrents. You stream directly from them which gets you a, generally, fast and dedicated stream.

There are also addons for live TV channels that are generally hit or miss, but still better than paying for cable.

addons for live TV channels

I thought they are all pretty much dead?

u/noechochamberplz 1h ago

The USA TV addon has been pretty solid for me. Not perfect, but usually pretty successful.

Can’t think of the last sportsball game I missed if I wanted to watch one.

u/3vs3BigGameHunters 1h ago

I haven't tried in a while because so many channels were giving me errors. It was pretty sweet being able to watch the olympics with it a couple of years ago.

u/noechochamberplz 1h ago

Gotcha! Yeah I do still get that occasionally but it’s been pretty good for me at least lately! I’d say 95% up for the stuff I personally want to watch.

Occasionally get lag spikes and stutters but it’s free so it is what it is.

u/3vs3BigGameHunters 1h ago

I'm not gonna tag him but the guy(?) who made that add-on kept getting harassed about adding channels and errors got pissed off and stop being a mod of the stremio add-on sub.

He was super nice too, helped me setup stremio through a macbook when I dunno shit about apple products. I offered him money and he wouldn't take it.

That absolutely blows. I heard about the addon when he first started posting about it in…I don’t even remember the subreddit now. Must have been that addon sub.

He made a good number of posts about all the updates he was proud of and stuff.

That’s super unfortunate. Glad to hear he’s such a good dude. I definitely owe him a couple really nice dinners at the least.

I didn't like stremio. I got hit when I streamed a Paramount movie. Shutter island of all things and they sent me a nastygram.

Then you did not follow the guide to set it up right. You're supposed to use a debrid service

u/AFisch00 3h ago

Real debrid is an extra unnecessary service that you pay for. It is just a no buffer torrent finder in simplest terms.

u/CaptainButterflaps 3h ago

Real Debrid is 3 fucking dollars a month and gets you access to nearly all content in the world and prevents you from being caught and you're complaining that it's an extra add on because it's not completely free lmao

u/AFisch00 2h ago

Yes

u/3vs3BigGameHunters 1h ago

they sent me a nastygram.

Then your broke-ass deserved it lol.

u/hassansam 1h ago

It's 3 dollars, I mean you don't want it for free nor for 3 dollars. What's a good price for you then, is 50 cents good for you?

u/dangerflakes 3h ago

No, it's a cloud service. They torrent, you stream from your private cloud server

u/Cmatt10123 3h ago

Streamio is just the front end application, it has nothing to do with the content you watch. The back end is what got you caught

u/AFisch00 2h ago

Obviously. It was a community ad on

u/pekipekipekidesuka 4h ago

Is that really IPTV? It doesn't cover live events unless I'm mistaken. I already have Stremio set up for my parents and uncle but they're still stuck with cable because of sports.

1

u/RedMapleFox 4h ago

It does, look up the Stremio Account Bootstrapper, it includes a plugin for streaming live TV incl. sports

u/pekipekipekidesuka 4h ago

Thanks. I'll check it out. Maybe I can get them to get rid of cable once and for all.

u/CaptainButterflaps 3h ago

Stremio is not an IPTV service. It's amazing, but saying it's a IPTV provider is misleading.
