IPTV streaming

How do IPTV providers provide channels to end users?

I mean, do they have sources that have paid for channels, and those sources then just upload to IPTV providers, who then in return, stream it forward to end users?

How does it work.

Well, it's easy. Companies rent a server, broadcast their stuff to the public, release the RTMP/M3U8 links to sites like cCloud and derivates, profit. :D

However, if you're refering to pirate IPTV, there're users with high-speed broadband connections and/or many computers that are doing that. Case in point: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/illegal-premier-league-streaming-hq-7705046

I hope that information could be useful. Greetz.

Read my comment there.

Either they are a reseller, or they provide public links in a playlist.
