I cancelled the TV part of my sky package and the price went up. So told them to poke it and signed up to Talktalk at Carphonewarehouse. Less than £30 a month for broadband, line rental, TV and movies. Not too shabby.

Yea exactly they WILL get shutdown, in fact there's going to be a big push/clamp down not just on kodi run "services" well that happens all the time now, but also on illegal IPTV sharing too in the very near future.

Even if they work for 6 months, you're still quids in to what Sky would charge you.

They are not maintenance free, you always seem to have to be doing something with it, pus they seem to let you down when something of importance is on, like PPV/live sports

I've hooked up a few people, the latest being Diddy Wong, ask him what it's like..
The free streams on Kodi are hit or miss but at the end of the day it's FREE! I only use Kodi for Films and TV programs, that's what it's best for.

I'm sure plenty of other services/addons etc. will pop up for a while but it's only going to get more and more convoluted and difficult to stream illegally
https://www.engadget.com/2017/11/16/...-mpa-shutdown/
With other legal streaming services popping up, it does become more affordable but stealing your content doesn't really help in the broader sense, in the end.
Yes, many of these services are owned by the Sky's/TWC/AT&T/Verizon's/Comcast and BT's etc. of the world but more choice and flexibility of use is a good thing.
The bigger thing to worry about are net neutrality issues - you won't be watching anything except what your ISP allows if things keep being pushed in such worrying directions.

Lol at this thread.
Tbf there is probably thousands of suppliers that provide iptv, I've been with a few in my time and I've learnt is finding a supplier that's reliable and trouble free (most of the time people don't find suitable suppliers as everyone is on the bang wagon these days).
The comment about poor quality lol, I get a true 1080/720 etc trouble free and yes the picture is of that same as sky etc so that is utter tosh. Yes it doesn't play in 1080'P' but of course it doesn't as that 'p' you won't even get sky as you can't stream or watch live tv in 'p' format.
I don't really use it all the time as I don't have much time but when I do it's great, and the way I see it, watching 2 live boxing matches has paid for a year subscription easily so to me the rest is free.

As for live sport, the BBC iPlayer UHD/HDR coverage of the World Cup and Wimbledon was outstanding, it made interlaced video look, well, ****, really.
I am now at the point where we were when HD started to get decent penetration, I try to find UHD content as HD just doesn't cut it anymore.

Does iptv work through an app on tablets tv iOS etc ?. As I had Kodi for a while and it was shocking to be honest even though I’ve got a good internet speed and I’m not paying sky’s sports subscription prices ever again.

I know Sky isn't cheap, but people don't go stealing other stuff because they think it's overprice or they can't afford it, it's very odd behaviour.
If everyone just streamed from Kodi or other dodgy sources, there would be no content to stream as the companies income streams wouldn't support it.
If you can't afford a Ferrari, you buy something else, but you are still buying something. Kodi etc is just theft, don't kid yourselves.

No, so you do not think the subscription is worth it, which is fair enough.
This is true of all sorts of things in life, but you don't go out and steal it, you just do without. Why is TV different?
