Can anyone recommend the best cable TV company to use...interested mostly in sports and news channels.
I'm tired of spending the first 20 minutes of a football (soccer) match searching for a stream only for it to go patchy after 15 mins
If anybody can recommend which company is fairly reliable at broadcasting Premier League games then I'll look into getting them.
Or if anyone can recommend decent streaming websites I'll try them...but I'm pretty fed up with most of them already!

Actually, I think I am restricted to PPCTV.
Anybody use this? Can I watch the premier League football without getting annoyed by lag/buffering?

Not if you have a smart TV with IPTV capabilities.
I don't use this kind of stuff personally but I found this that supposedly does free 24 hour trials and they offer 9,000 channels. If you can get something like that to work it may be cheaper and better than PPCTV. https://oceaniptv.net/
My only option. Fucking hate them. Signal is lost when it rains. You never know which match they're going to show (when multiple games kick off at the same time outside covid schedules). A common experience is settling into a game only for some arse to come back from the bog and faff about with the controls - 5 mins of volleyball, 5 mins of a Vietnamese match and back to the one you were watching just in time for the half-time break. When there are no issues most of the time you get the English commentary, but the signal comes in 10 mins before kick-off; outside that the punditry is all Thai. No European mid-weekers and random internationals. I'm told CCTV is much worse.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 3:10 pmActually, I think I am restricted to PPCTV.

I try to stream with variable results. Often stay up to 3 am for a match only to find the buffering intolerable. I use the options with TotalSportek.
News is limited to CNN, BBCWorld and Sky. Thank fuck for the internet!

Yeah, I had a mate who used it a few years back and thus was his experience. I see they haven't improved then!
I use a VPN, That will unlock a whole world of streaming services to you. Its called surfshark. I can now use hulu, US netflix and amazon prime video.

Movies and TV are no problem. I can access them ok.
You don't actually need a VPN for Netflix in Cambodia.
Live sport is my main objective.
This appears to be cheaper with more channels.Alexandra wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 3:15 pmNot if you have a smart TV with IPTV capabilities.

You can get it cheaper through iptorrents. I've found it quite good with decent quality and no buffering but YMMV with Cambo internet.

well like everything streaming wise, you get what you pay for, Also Netflix is regional by IP address. Netflix Cambodia is half of what you would get in the US or UK. Also hulu and Amazon prime video have tons of add ons like live sports. But, with a Cambodian IP address you can't even join them. On another note with the internet gateway coming A VPN is going to be a must have here.
For true cable/ local IPTV your options are limited..
Someone asked a similar question a while back on FartBook and was recommended the IPTV from Cellcard (EzeTV).
You won't find it referenced online via Google but 4 phone call to head office finally got me a price and the channels.
It was $4 a month and the channels were shite. Oh, and you must be an Ezecon user. Fuck that. No wonder they don't advertise.
I've live streamed UK TV for years with varying degrees of success.
Last year I subscribed (on recommendation) DevilStream ($80/yr / $120 with Android TV Box) and it works great to a point.. but you really are at their peril if they decide to just shut down half way thru the "contract" and you can only use on one device at a time.
I found it a waste of money considering I was nly able to watch shitty UK daytime TV in the evening and I'm really not into sport.
The sport i did try watch buffered then crapped out a lot, but considering that only happened when at work and not at home I am informed that that may be a static IP configuration issue.
If you're looking to buy a package to stream I'd try one of the pay monthly subscriptions first. Search ExpatTV for the various offerings. Aim for one that has a 24 hour "watch again" feature in case your connection dies or buffering makes it unwatchable.
If you are competent with Kodi there are a plethora of free hacks you can use for live TV, just be prepared for them to work one day and not the next and you have to start again.
You can also try searching for .m3u packs which are available for free. They come in various bundles from ALL channels to country and genre specific and are easy to view via VLC Media. The issue I found was try are very hard to navigate from channel to channel on your phone and there is a lot of shit in there, but every now and again you hit gold.

I spent a few days researching different offerings and am now running a month test (paid for) now on best-iptv-uk.meAlexandra wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 3:15 pmNot if you have a smart TV with IPTV capabilities.

I chose them because, well they are the best - it says so right there on their URL.
They have an excellent front end UI which looks a little like the sky interface. Many iptv offerings seem to have a fairly clunky list of channels which isn't easy to navigate.
It's a game changer, it offers SD, HD and UHD on most channels and is responsive and not laggy. I do think you'd need a pretty quick internet connection though. Mine gets a tad sticky when I'm watching the highest quality and there are several other devices using the internet at the same time, but switch to HD or SD and it's fine. I may never leave the house again.
