Hello! I recently built this Raycast extension that lets me browse and stream live TV in 720p@60fps or 1080p@30fps on VLC or IINA.
It includes more than 150 channels, a TV Guide, movie/show schedule, and a sports guide.
Also included are 24/7 re-runs of popular shows. I mean, guys, I can literally pull up the office in one key press from anywhere on my Mac, and it starts playing right in IINA player. The same goes for any sports game! I find myself using this extension more than any streaming service I pay for. Wanna look at the news real quick in the morning or right before a meeting? One key press and bam! I’m watching CNN or BBC. It’s great!
This is obviously a biased review since I’m the developer, but I made this tool for myself initially. A couple of people, who looked over my shoulder, asked if they could use it too. So, I started to clean it up, get more computing resources behind it, and then I started to walk through some of my design decisions up to that point. After a few months of building while people used it and v.1.0 is finally live 🎉
It brings me so much joy, thought I’d share this tool with a few more people. Check out the website to learn more: https://saba.mintlify.app/
Yep. If the service gets shut down, you will not get your money back. There have been a lot over the years. IPTV is great because it’s cheap but I’ve only ever had one service over the course of 8 years that was basically flawless. Most are going to buffer, loop, channels out for a while, etc. Most people are resellers too so if there’s an issue, they won’t be able to do anything about it. If you want easy to find shows & movies for cheap, Kodi + Real-Debrid will get you almost everything. If you’re going to be using your computer for this, just use icelz.newsrade.com or daddylivehd.sx for live TV. I havent had any issues with icelz. DaddyLiveHD will sometimes freeze or buffer. Both completely free. Just make sure you have an adblocker installed.
This has also been my experience for a long time. I have personally spent more money than I’d like to admit trying to find quality and reliability. From the feedback after 2 months in beta, it streams flawlessly (according to me and everyone else who has used it. No complaints so far).
I like these free solutions, and I still think that’s the way to go for a majority of people. However, I really hate ads and ad-block detectors, buffering, low resolution streams and a user interface that does not consider the user’s experience. This is my opinion
