Agreed. Formula 1, soccer football, MMA, random PPVs is the main stuff I watch on my IPtv.
Accidentally checked the bot flag in your account?
Hmm I guess I did. Thanks for letting me know
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.
Hard to explain. I use iptv because I miss having something on that is:
- something I might have not see before, channel flip and find something new.
- something I don't really care about and can be turned off at moments notice.
- something just for background noise.
- I sometimes dont want to think and pick a show.
- Other??
Some of those overlap a little.
Usually free high dollar sports packages and free paper views like ufc fights are included.
Brother, it is pay per view. Not paper view.
Boneappletea?
The ghost is clear, pick up the paste.
lol leaving it. Talk to text is complete garbage.
Hahaha I can't stop laughing, this is too funny! :-D
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I host my own iptv service to mimic a real channel but with my content. It’s amazing and we all love it.
Which program do you use? I found ersatz tv but it doesn't really work good
Yeah it is ersatztv, you basically need a gpu for the ffmpeg encodings though. It’s fun if you get it to work, I have my face appear every hour at the bottom of the screen like a network logo.
You've sold me, I need it
I enjoy listening to the news once in a while in the evening while drinking a coffee after supper. I like just putting it on and not having to make a "choice".
Sometimes you're doing something like using your exercise bike, cooking, or doing housework and want something on just for the noise but don't want to put any real effort into finding something since you aren't paying much attention to it. Turning on a channel that does old shows or documentaries or whatever is perfect for that. I use Roku so I don't pay for a subscription.
I use streams rather than IPTV, but I have an answer nonetheless: sports. It's just about the only TV I ever watch live anymore because it's the only kind that HAS to be live.
Because I want to catch them all.
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
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.
Sports and dvr mostly, the one I have lets me add or remove channel bundles whenever I want so it's very flexible
The only reason I use HULU Live TV is for live sports - ESPN works too, but hulu isn't that much more and I get the whole bundle with Disney+.
i miss randomness.
i really want a plugin for kodi that will give me a pseudo cable tv interface with all my tv shows laid out in their original airing channels, with weekly or daily episodes configurable. throw in a some movie networks, and a random movie of the day in the cable channels.
there used to be a close plugin called pseudotv, but is now defunct.
