For the last 2 months, I've been reaching out to every single IPTV provider I could find online to compare their services. After trying out close to 30 services and ranking them in a spreadsheet, I was surprised by the huge gap in quality. At this point I started to get curious, I thought, "How good can it really get?"

Turns out it can get pretty good. Eventually I found a handful of providers with real stable, 4K (2160p) sports streams at 50fps with full PPV and F1 TV coverage. Obviously, they are a little more pricey at around $15 for a 1-month sub on average. But it's worth every penny if you ask me.

I thought it would be cool to have some kind of public directory, or I could just share my spreadsheet, since this information is really hard to come by on the internet. But a directory grows stale over time if it's not constantly updated. Also, there's constant pricing changes, providers pop up and others disappear, lots of scammers to avoid, and people may have valuable additional info to contribute.

So I set up Open Supply and invited a bunch of the providers to post. There are only a few providers here currently, but the list will be growing. You can check out the IPTV Subs community here: https://lemmy.opensupply.space/c/iptv_subs

OR

Search for it: !iptv_subs@lemmy.opensupply.space

This took a lot of work to set up, if you happen to try out an IPTV service in this list, I only ask that you come back and leave an informative positive/negative review for other people who'll come along in the future. Thanks!

Also, is it possible to get this community officially added to the megathread? I think this info is super valuable.
