I'm in the market for an IPTV subscription to put the finishing touches to my kodi setup. I already have an EPG for sports channels with xmltv listings I pull myself using mc2xml but what I don't have are the actual streams.

Basically all I need is an IPTV provider with reliable HD streams so I can open my EPG add-on, browse to whatever sports channel I want to watch and hit play. Right now I can populate most of the sports channels in the TV guide add-on using various free addons and it works fine - until the match starts and the streams predictably start buffering.

I don't care so much for VOD (except maybe PPV replays - that would be a nice bonus) or general/entertainment tv channels because I already have a great selection via antenna where I live.

Ideally I'll find an IPTV provider with a kodi addon who streams the main sports channels (for me it's all the usual uk channels plus the likes of nbcsn and fox sports in the US for soccer) 24/7 so all I have to do is add them to my kodi favourites and then link them to my tv guide addon.

I've read good things about smoothstreams but I think they offer more of a 'live event' type of service, whereas I'm looking for 24/7 streams.

Right now I'm using acestreams I find in /r/soccerstreams or various other websites but I'd love to be able to just sit down, scroll to the channel I want to watch the match on and hit play, knowing I'll get it in HD with minimal buffering.

Any recommendations?
