You heard that right. If you have a VPN, you can watch every EPL fixture without using an IPTV provider, without worrying about ISP blockage or quality of the pirate IPTV feed.
Why? Because one of the EPL rights holders in one country gives away free 14 day trials of their service and doesn't know how to do geoblocking right.
Optus Sport carries the rights in Australia. They have an app for Apple TV, Android, iOS and they support Chromecast. They do not use location services to detect where you are, they just check IP geo.
First things first: sign up for a trial. No VPN needed. Go to https://sport.optus.com.au/campaign/sport-trial.
Generate an AU mobile phone number, punch it in, pick any mobile provider as your provider. Enter any email you want, they don't validate them. Pick Liverpool as your favorite team because you're not a wanker. https://fakenumber.org/australia/mobile
Once registered, simply VPN to Australia to watch games. You can grab the app off Google Play or the App Store to watch on your phone. To watch on your TV, either grab their app on Apple TV or put a Chromecast or Android TV STB (Mi Box, Nvidia Shield) behind an AU VPN and cast it. If you are casting to an Android TV STB, you can install a VPN app from Google Play, connect to your AU VPN and cast from the mobile app - no hardware VPN required. Video is 50fps. It's the global feed, so no brain dead NBC commentary or BT Sport morons running their mouthes. Critically, there are no ads next to the fucking scores. Fuck off with that shit, NBC.
Any semi-good VPN provider offers Australia as a region. I use PIA, but honestly that's just because I'm too lazy to switch. Use whoever you like.
Give this method try if you feel up to it. You can watch the Tottenham put a beating on Bournemouth right now, if everything goes according to plan anyway.
Some I'm wondering if you guys know how to grab a stream URL from my local news. They go live every day at 6pm. I'm trying to get the stream URL to add my M3U. Any help would be greatly appreciated. So they usually go live from here
Some background: I subscribed on December 2017 and the first weeks it ran all ok. Some minor issues like advertised FHD streams were just HD or a broken stream here and then.
Things got worse pretty quickly in January. Sometimes a Bundesliga stream was not in sync with audio or the complete stream was down during the Bundesliga Konferenz (five games simultaneously, one, two or three streams then were dead). Many german channels are just not working like expected.
I gave feedback very often about broken streams in the forum - they don't care. A broken stream? We don't care. Thing is, I was in that shout box (a chat) today and wrote something like:
me: "Sky Sport Bundesliga stream yesterday was crappy, as always. Maybe today will be better."
GenIPTV-support: replied something like "that's not true! Our capacities are high"
me: Don't fucking lie, I complain every weekend among others that the Sky streams are shitty."
GenIPTV-supoort:"Give me your secret line" (he obviously meant the URL to my personalized .m3u)
Gave it to him without the password, because I naively thought he would look into it. I know, foul speak...
Let's see, I asked for refund. My guess is that I will never hear from them again. ;-)
Many complaints in their forum here: https://geniptv.net/threads/complaints-about-geniptv-servers.1551/page-154

Edit: two persons asked in that shout box about trial subs when I raged. Mmmmmaybe they don't want them to read that their services are crap...
tl;dr: stay away from GenIPTV.
https://www.mma-tv.net/ is down.. does anyone have an alternative link
