Or don’t buy it and don’t pirate it either. Fuck em. This shit isn’t even worth pirating.
It’s one of those things where paying in advance is not a good idea because of how sketch it can be. And you should not use identifiable information when creating an account or paying. E.g. a good provider only accepts crypto.
The only wholesaler I’m currently aware of has been operating for 5+ years the length I’ve been aware of their existence. So there’s definitely trustworthy providers out there. I have no idea how to research good providers since IPTV talk gets shut down every where.
The only people who need to know who the originating sources are are the wholesalers, and I’m pretty sure at that level they have a good sense of who is originating or not. Or maybe they also don’t care as long as it works and the price is right.
At the individual level, you have to assume that your provider is not the originating source - that’s just how it works. Discovering whether or not you are using a reseller or a wholesaler though? It should be fairly easy to tell from the services and support they offer.
It’s a chain of providers.
Generally speaking, you have your wholesaler who sells to individuals or to other iptv resellers (eg. bulk discount of monthly subs).
A wholesaler will generally pay monthly to other source stream providers from a variety of sources to create a full catalogue of channels to provide to individuals and resellers. The wholesaler usually does the EPG management also - basically sources EPG from a variety of data sources.
So UK channels might come from one source, Canadian channels from other, some channels are on this cable provider, others on another - could be different sources. These sources are people who buy cable/satelite set top boxes and subscriptions to then stream them to the wholesalers.
A source might sell to 100+ wholesalers, and then those wholesalers will have 1000+ of subscribers each.
Generally, don’t subscribe with a re-seller…it’s your best chance that you’ll have to find a new subscription. You’ll get the best support at wholesale and they hang around longer, although being bigger makes them targets for raids or even to close up shop and take all future subscription money.
Gee Cyn, why didn’t you start years ago then
Great share thanks!
what was the US GDP M/M?
By work they mean things like small measurements related to tooling eg what size is the socket
What? We have other internet exchanges and who cares who owns the building? The exchange is not owned by the building owner.
Yes and 100% isn’t 100%
People and their batteries though… It’s a futile obsession for some. It doesn’t matter how much science or logic you throw at them there’s always something.
Like how fast charging hasn’t for some time done like a full max rate for the entire time to keep heat within tolerances but still some people think doing the work themselves is somehow better thermal management than modern battery controllers to the point they think it will make a material difference.
