I have heard that there iptv services which are really private and don't advertise openly and provide really great services. I don;t remember but i saw it here/reddit that they are available on private trackers' forums. I am on Avistaz, bakabt, torrentleech and few others not worth mentioning. I would like to learn more about them so please let me know
They are often sold to non-tech people as fire sticks.
There general use case is:
You buy a fire stick from Amazon.
You give it to someone that 'hacks' them.
You transfer money to an account and are provided login credentials.
The 'hack' is just enabling side loading on the Amazon stick and downloading an IP client. Takes two minutes and is easily done, but people charge £50 for it. You can do it yourself if you already have access to an IPTV provider.
The difficult thing to do online is get access to the IPTV provider to purchase such a service. They don't have any public online presence. They manage and sell their services through group chat apps like discord, telegram and some lesser know equivalent apps. The online way to get access to them is through someone you know.
Refering people to these services is actively encouraged. The providers often offer discounts/free periods if you referral makes a purchase.
The use of these services in the UK is so endemic that football channels now frequently advertise VPNs. Because it encouraged by the vendors of these IPTV sellers.
These services are not legal. So there is little recourse if the quality of service is bad or they sell your account details to someone. They also don't spend much on infrastructure, so you the streaming quality is often limited to 720p and will struggle to serve during sporting popular sporting events.
No one is going to offer you it on here. Most people in this sub will be able to get better quality downloads for free. They also don't want a public record of them using or distribution such service.
I don't use them and don't recommend them, I also don't like live sports which is their biggest selling point. As live sports is very expensive as so much is broken up between different legal providers.
If you don't know anyone that uses them, you'll have to make some friends. Best place is sport events/pubs.
Hi thanks you for your detailed response. I am already familiar with the idea of the hacked firestick/settopbox thing. What i was mainly looking for was a provider. I also fully understand the fact that these are not legal but cable costs are high for what they are offering here. Someone mentioned a site but it got deleted and looks really good and what i was looking for. My main reason was live sports. as for public record i am familiar with using crypto so it's not an issue.

-I doubt people would know about it in a third world country
I searched about and looks like they do have great service. If i don't find anything better will definitely go with this one. On a side note
it does seem that they have a bad history being a tracker. but will still check out.
Iptorrents is a rock solid torrent tracker, lots of stuff us free leech. When you pay for vip you get data credits that allow you to not have to worry about your upside down ratio... they also give you iptv during the subscription.
For a good IPTV service you really do need to know someone, I know a guy that has been reselling for over a decade and he's only had one provider shutdown on him because they only sell to people they trust.
When a provider gets too big that's when law enforcement step in. Over the last few years there's been a bunch of raids all over Europe so finding a provider has gotten more difficult and when people have one they don't want to risk getting them shutdown by telling a stranger on the internet about it
I did check the megathread because my family wanted to watch today's ICC worldcup but they aren't that fluent in english. and there were good streams available in english only
It sucks but i will try to get into some top cabal trackers and see if their forums have some sort of recommendations?

There might be better places to look, but you can get started here. I've been on King TV for about two months now and it's pretty legit.
The stream quality isn't as good as YouTube TV or FUBO, but for $15 a month I'm not complaining.
The problem i have with public services is that there is always a risk of them getting shutdown and well leaking customer info like IP addresses. Recently read an article on torrentfreak about consumers getting fined for using IPTV services so I am a bit skeptical. Ofcourse if anyone is willing to share the tracker name i will get into it myself
someone pm'ed one and i did try it. unfortunately the country's channels i specifically want don't work well enough. but most of the US ones are working perfectly fine
