Legitimate IPTV Provider Noob

by Representative_Fig_9

Hi Reddit,

I am relatively new to the concept of IPTV despite being a massive networking nerd based in the UK; Having never gotten into have been a bit lost as to where to start I understand absolutely how IPTV works on the technical side of things (transfer of UDP packets etc.) however I was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers on the situation surrounding the legallity given that a large number of streams look dodgy as hell etc; - To put it concisely I live in a shared house without access to an aerial; however have a HTPC ready to go with Kodi; and a decent broadband connection - My goal is to have a Sky style setup using the PVR client on Kodi (I can't stand individual apps - Having amalgamated Netflix/Amazon into Kodi) which I will achieve via an M3U8 and XML file respectively. Question is are there any well known LEGITIMATE services that do this? I'm happy to pay towards it and in terms of channel list's I'm mostly looking for UK Freeview, a couple of US News Channels and a couple of Romanian channels (missus gets homesick.) As I say I am happy to pay for it as a service but it absolutely must be above board legitimate and reliable. If anyone could let me know if this possible and point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance :)

Suppose you could try to purchase a usa one that's legit,and use a VPN but I'm not sure how you'd get a usa billing address ... But I don't know of any that would provide you an m3u or any viable UK options that aren't "illegal"

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but no. There are very few legal options outside of things like sling, plutotv, nowtv and they will not offer what you're looking for.
