If it’s working for you, it’s not a ripoff. From the research I’ve done, it seems many of the IPTV service providers are sketchy, meaning they may work for a while and then not. The subscription part is the most risky, being that it’s pirated content they’re streaming, hence their servers can be shutdown etc.
The review I quoted makes it sound more simple than it is afaik. While you can get certain apps on a Firestick for instance, you have to pay for a pirate package to access content. There’s heaps of them. That’s where people can be ripped off. You just have to Google to see people sharing their experiences, like paying for an annual subscription, for it to only last 2 months, or they have connection, stability and audio/syncing issues.
Just curious, how long have you had ProTV and does it work faultlessly? I’m interested in getting something like it.
