As the title suggests, the IPTV service 4kiptv.tv sites are no longer working. Either they pulled the plug themselves or were getting shut down.

Either way, I've tried a handful of other "4k" providers but the 4kiptv.tv seemed the best. Anyone have a good rec on the best iptv provider with lots of 4k content?

Not criticizing in any way, but what's the attraction of IPTV these days? Aside from sports, I just don't see the attraction. Lots of free sources of live TV out there.

I believe IPTV it's most oriented to inexperienced people, just configure it and you have the whole stuff there WO having to swap apps and adjust settings here and there how it's usual in free pirated services, I mean I have no problem about messing around with free stuff but normal people just want the shit working you know. So I believe sometimes it's better to pay for a more at the spot experience.

Edit: My point it's, yeah I could mount a SBC media server with 32TB of SATA storage to seed pirated content all over the world and setup every arr software and upload 500TB of data each month but.. normal people don't want that shit bud, they just want to see some mainstream romantic films and football with their fat wife at their side, it doesn't matter if they have to pay.. so IPTV does that work pretty well.

I have kodi boxes on all of my TVs and play local 4k content 95% of the time, but yea I need sports and live tv occasionally. Websites work pretty well on computers but the streams on kodi addons are very bad, constant interruptions. So I can either hook up raspberry pis runnung raspbian on each my Tvs and have wireless keyboards so I can go to the streaming websites, or I try to get a paid IPTV service on kodi, which I'm trying to do right now.

That's definitely a good use case. I am totally not into sports and I have a tuner on the network for locals so that's why I don't do it. Honestly, I don't really use the locals much at all.
