IPTV vs Sky vs BT vs Freeview ?
Discussion
Hi guys, I realise this is an ever changing world and I'm due to a household upgrade for the household ( 3 tv's )
I realise I need to upgrade but don't fancy the idea of paying for £2k per tv and a grand to sky so what is the best value TV and viewing platforms that will last me the next few years?
Thanks in advance
- Broadband unlimited fibre with BT
- Old Sky boxes with a white card from ebay that gives all free channels
- TV's are a variety of ages ranging from 4 to 10 years old

Unsure, has anyone been caught illegal streaming?
Unless you're the one doing the streaming/uploading I wouldn't worry about it. You might get the odd letter off your ISP, but, in reality they are just made to send those out and don't usually give a rats arse themselves.Well if it's live Premiership football, you can forget Freeview (other than MOTD type programs), BT is limited, so Sky is your main option, but obviously comes at a cost.
There are boxes which stream them, I've never had much success really, and of course you don't get the benefits such as pause, rewind, full HD, nice planners/guides/etc. Or you can find websites to get the odd football match, but again not very reliable IMO.

We have Sky Q with two mini boxes for the "main" TV viewing but don't bother with sports. We have IPTV for that - every Premier League game (including 3pm KO's), Champions League and box office sports...bit fiddly to set up and you have to keep one eye out for a new source if the current one gets shut down but for £11.70 a month it's a no brainer!!
I used to pay for one of these subscription kodi services which worked brilliantly, I always found the free ones not so good. But then they started wanting payment in bitcoin which I couldn't be bothered with so just gave it all up.
Do miss watching the F1 and Football occasionally but if I'm that bothered Ill go the pub and watch it.

I paid iptv 90 euros for 2 years subscription about 6 months ago.
All good so far, though I have to occasionally reload playlist.
Almost exclusively use it to watch football including on foreign channels, especially Portuguese.
Same. Plus my box has a plethora of stored films, documentaries and TV shows which I can watch any time. All good so far, though I have to occasionally reload playlist.

A particular highlight was stumbling across the full Wonder Years programme. Ahhh Winnie Cooper
Oh and I get Saturday 3pm matches too

That's the site I subscribed on.
I see the prices have changed. From memory I took up a temporary special offer, but for €60 a year I'd still do it again.

I'm going to sound extremely dim here but what is IPTV ?
Is it just an app you can download onto a smart tv or fire stick which allows you to watch x amount of channels?
What is the quality like? especially on sports, does it buffer a lot?
Does it have box sets within the interface or is it just live telly?
Does it need updating a lot?
Our BT internet is up in September, BT sport is getting cancelled tomorrow after the Europa league final so something like this would save a fortune instead of signing up to full virgin package at the start of the season
