Looking for an IPTV provider for mainly: UK EFL football ,international football (eur, na, south america, asia), international club football (libertadores etc), NBA, LPGA, Cricket (+women's as much as possible), MLB (baseball) -Reasonably high quality, and very good consistency re: drop-outs, latency, downtime, etc.
Needs:
Reliable enough for recording and able to be easily recorded - Compatible with program/app that is decent and will not just chew system resources for a laggy shockwave player type situation.
Available to access on Windows (or Mac). I have both, either is fine. Right now i have Mac/Windows, and iOS. I will have a look at running apks on windows subsystem for android, and/or getting a Shield Pro if I find a reliable provider.
UK/EU servers if possible, and high reliability, consistent framerate/quality, low downtime.
EPG/ General ease of use. I am not tech illiterate, but I am tired of wasting time with m3u8 and hacky ways to bypass hdcp, downloading from my seedbox all day to get all my files locally etc. I want something that works, that can be set up easily without too much tinkering. I am willing to pay up front for extended periods if your service is really great and hassle free - if the trial is great and after that I buy a couple of months and I have no or very little issues that are sorted quickly, I have no problem committing to a year long subscription. If you are able to provide a reliable, consistent service that I can use for live recording, I will happily pay a premium for that service.
VOD would be very nice to have- either way I need reliable recording.
Fair trial: I'd like to have a short trial, whether discounted or free, for one or two days, this weekend would be perfect but any days with games/events is fine. I would like to make sure that I'm able to record and sample how the stream reliability is, how available/good backup streams are, etc. Particularly LPGA/cricket/nba this weekend.
Specific channels/Events I am looking for (the more the better):
-European continental football, CL etc
- EFL Championship, and other lower leagues would be nice to have but not my no.1 need.
- North American, South American continental football, Libertadores etc.
- As much international football as possible (World cup qualifying, copa america, asian cup, euros, nations league etc etc)
- Golf - women's (LPGA) - Important. Golf not as popular as football etc but I would really need LPGA to be rock solid reliability and recording compatible - Sky sports golf has every weekend and major tournament extended coverage I believe, stuff like golf channel/nbc/cbs or other providers I would also like for extended coverage but not 100% essential.
- NBA - Needs to be reliable enough for decent recording. - The most important one to have for me.
- MLB - Would not be my main MLB viewer but would be nice to have reliable for recording during games.
- Cricket - The more the better, I do not need IPL, but as much English domestic cricket and general international as possible, would also like women's cricket. Priority on international (t20i, odi,etc). Pretty important
I do not need:
-Any general channels, news, etc etc. If you don't separate those by package etc I will never use them and won't clog up those streams for other users anyway, I don't mind paying well for a good service even if I have to pay for the entire thing and it has extra channels though, but not something I will use regularly.
-4K content: I don't need anything 4k, if you have any it's a bonus but I probably will not use it because I would rather have 1080 and higher reliability.
-HDR
-Many connections - I will be using two connections at most I think - this is my first attempt at this particular way of getting content, but I imagine one stream on laptop for watching, one stream on desktop recording.
-Particular payment method - happy to work with whatever payment method, paypal, gift cards, crypto is not an issue, etc.
Thank you. Please let me know if you think you might have something that suits and if it does I will be happy to reward it. Also let me know if you have something that isn't IPTV but would help me get some of the stuff I want.
