IPTV please explain

PERtoDPS

Hello all I'm currently using my self contained apartments free wifi and Smartfren (most of the time when it's slow congested etc). I recently started to use useetv just wondering the easiest and cheapest way to unlock the channels like Nat Geo, HBO and Discovery?

You need to subscribe to the channels you want to watch. You can do it at your local Telkom Indonesia office. If you are looking for a cheap way, you can buy a Kodi box. You connect it to your TV and the internet. Actually, you don't even need hardware as you can install Kodi on many different kinds of computers and phones. You then install "Addons" which have hundreds of different channels. You do need good internet though. Installing the addons can be a bit tricky but you can find plenty of tutorials. It is illegal though. It is amazing though the content that is available.

I'm fully aware of kodi and have used in the past with success, however it's a little complex for my current living arrangement hence wanting to just unlock a few channels, eg this trip I'm only here 2.5 weeks its not worth all the stuffing around with software plug ins. In any case thank you for the information about how to go about it, now I am just tossing up between using this service https://iptvplix.com/ as I can also use it back in Australia or just unlock the channels, it's going to come down to price in the end.

For the prices they offer, I doubt it is a legal service. Not that I have any personal objections to it, but you should be careful when making payments and there is a chance they will be shutdown at any point. [MEDIA=reddit]IPTV/comments/9i6wyp[/MEDIA]

Thanks for the tip, but I bought it already. The real issue is my smartfren doesn’t seem to have enough b/w for it, well it does at stupid times like 5am 7am etc but not peak times. Then vlc doesn’t seem to like the large playlist file keeps crashing so I guess I will be installing Kodi after all. Not a complete waste I can still use when I return to Australia and my connection there fast.

PERtoDPS

Ok well for those interested this was my solution: https://iptvplix.com + I'm using Smartfren so just 2000 RP 1 GB, but the key ended up in the software with VLC and Kodi constantly falling over I have started to use SMPlayer and it is flawless, can even play most of the channels in peak times. The issues spicyayam raises about legality may well be true, but this is by far the best value option I have for now THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.in practice not just theory.

I used to watch Sly through cardsharing years ago, before and after the loss of HD and even SD channels. I'm interested in trying IPTV. It'll be mainly for football and sports. Movies/tv shows/documentaries etc aren't a priority as they can be found in high quality elsewhere. So my question is what can I expect in terms of quality? I know it won't be perfect, especially at such a low price, however, I want to be realistic. Will a good provider have all the channels in HD, if not then at least better than SD with good frame rate?

This thread is 5 years old and internet connection speeds and IPTV have both improved quite a lot since then, Bali has pretty decent and accessible broadband available now. Someone suggested a Kodi box that's the way to go like an[B] android tv box [/B](search for those words) off Tokopedia and then just load up your programming on that. If you find a good source it will be HD with no buffering, assuming your internet connection can support it. It really depends on their server bandwidth too, obviously if thousands of people tune in to a boxing match or a footy game there needs to be bandwidth on the server side to support it.

F- Try harder :) Sorry Shadrach, but you'll just have to stretch and educate yourself a little bit rather than just whining. I appreciate the internet age may have happened while you were snoozing but a dictionary is your friend .. as is the internet. The grey matter just rots if you don't apply yourself. Hopefully you understood the reference to a bintang besar :) Best :)

Even here in the jungle I have access to both Indihome and Biznet fiber networks, both of which offer packages combined with tv/phone and net access. There is so much absolute dross on the tv offering we stopped that after the first month and went over to using a Download Manager (Qbittorrent) to simply download any and all programs we wish to see. We may not get them on their day of broadcasting (but usually do) but the convenience makes up for the occasional day's wait. If anyone want more info on how to do this magic just ask.

I am using an MNC package which delivers TV, subscriptions to various channels and internet via satellite. The internet is appalling slow so if watching a video on line it usually means maybe a minute of image and then wait for 30 secs before the next bit. Also enquired about paying to increase the internet capacity as it often runs out before the end of the month. MNC say no. They prefer you to buy a punitive extra that last a day or so and then have to wait for the next month' subscription to roll over. Any thoughts

No "thoughts" to be expected from Zamirmewelldy: Sound like a bot to boost traffic. I'm using Biznet in Denpasar via fiber. Very good with fluid Netflix and youtube streaming. They respond quickly to technical issues and they have an office in Sanur if a personal visit is required.

Likewise Indihome has no problems streaming endless video content, Netflix etc as frankly should all of the broadband providers using fibre. So unless you are in the middle of a hidden valley in the jungle (hangin' out with Markit say) the best bet would be to switch technology from satellite to fibre broadband, for both tv and internet, assuming you can. Doing this for both your internet and your tv would be the ideal. If you cannot ditch the satellite on account of the tv channels you need, then the next best thing would be to source your internet separately via a broadband provider who uses fibre. More expensive as you'll pay for both separately, but at least you get usable internet and the TV channels you want. If you don't want the expense of a monthly broadband subscription you could get a router that supports LTE (mobile data) direct or via a dongle, and use a relatively cheap monthly phone package to provide you with a better quality internet connection than you currently have, again keeping the satellite for you tv. If you use this for streaming video all day however you might find you end up paying more than if you just bought the broadband subscription. Perhaps you can find an unlimited data plan. Can't think of any alternatives beyond that..... except cracking open a cold *-besar and forgetting about the whole interwebs thingy.

IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television, is a technology that delivers television content over the internet rather than through traditional broadcast or cable formats. With IPTV, viewers can access a wide range of television channels, on-demand content, and interactive features using an internet connection and compatible devices such as smart TVs, computers, smartphones, or set-top boxes. Unlike traditional TV services, IPTV offers greater flexibility and convenience, allowing users to watch their favorite shows whenever and wherever they want, often with advanced features like pause, rewind, or recording capabilities. IPTV has revolutionized the way people consume television, offering a more personalized and on-demand viewing experience tailored to individual preferences.

How about this version using Chat GPT.... "IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television. It is a technology that delivers television services over an internet protocol network instead of traditional methods like satellite or cable. IPTV allows users to stream video content using the internet, enabling them to watch TV shows, movies, and other media on their devices like smart TVs, computers, smartphones, or set-top boxes. This method provides a more flexible and interactive way to consume television content compared to traditional broadcasting methods." Seems like new forum rules might be considered? Using AI for posting is not only aggravating, it also demonstrates the height of laziness by the poster. I see crap like this and it makes me think that it might be time to disconnect.

It's a good proposal though it's also a double edged blade. I assume the emergence of what appears to be endless chat-bots is an attempt to stimulate demand and therefor revenue on a site that has become so quiet you can hear the tumbleweed blowing past as you type. To be fair the transition after the site was sold on was so poor leaving the site mostly unusable for months and unfortunately making it a very frustrating user experience - the worst of the worst mistakes to make. That said most of these forums based on 90s website tech have moved on to FB and the like in any case. Likewise the demographics of (ohhps better use a simple word or i'll be branded a bot) - I mean people - staying in bali are younger than before and much more likely to be addicted to FB / WA / TikTok etc. I imagine it costs a wee bit to maintain this site live - the servers, the tech, the admin. . . . and it isn't being offered through charity. So if the bots don't generate revenue there will come a point where they may just pull the plug on the whole site and we old-uns will have nowhere to go abuse one-another. Personally, when I encounter a thread with an obviously inane A-(un)I bot, I just ignore that user account and carry on. No point engaging in the AI threads in my opinion as we learned from good ol' Arnie :) in the terminator -[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] [B]It can't[/B] be reasoned with. [B]It[/B] doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And [B]it[/B] absolutely will not [B]stop[/B]... ever, until [B]you[/B] are dead![/COLOR]

To a degree I agree w/ this being a means of keeping this tired site going. Here's my next interaction w/ Chat GPT: "You Is Artificial Intelligence a threat to humanity? ChatGPT Artificial Intelligence has the potential to bring about many benefits to society, such as increased efficiency, improved healthcare, and advancements in various fields. Like any powerful technology, it also comes with risks that need to be carefully managed. [B]It's crucial for developers and policymakers to consider ethical implications, ensure transparency, and prioritize safety when creating AI systems. By taking these precautions, we can harness the full potential of AI while minimizing potential threats to humanity."[/B] We're F-ed......
