There are quite a few cheap IPTV subscriptions out there with 50k+ channels, but my question is, why do you still watch live TV? With piracy, you can grab any movie or TV show you want and watch it on demand with Jellyfin or Plex. Am I missing out by not watching TV channels myself?

      Agreed. Formula 1, soccer football, MMA, random PPVs is the main stuff I watch on my IPtv.

      That is why I am interested in IPTV. Any chance you can suggest a provider to me? Not sure where to start the search for a reliable one.

    I host my own iptv service to mimic a real channel but with my content. It’s amazing and we all love it.

    I know someone who uses both. Some of it is for realtime sports and others is just for shows they dont want to have to download.

    Many others use some form of plex shares or real debrid

    Sports and dvr mostly, the one I have lets me add or remove channel bundles whenever I want so it’s very flexible

    Mainly I’m a sports junkie but also I feel nerdy sometimes and like to keep up with local news. Plus sometimes I’ll be scrolling through channels and I’ll find something I wanna watch that I might not have found on my own.
