These services which use private facebook groups as a way of organising etc. I don't want to be on facebook, and have no intention of setting up an account for any reason. In this situation, is there any other means of obtaining and paying for the service, or am I out of luck? Getting fed up of the price of the sky sports on NowTV just for 1/2 matches a week I am interested in, and looking for a replacement so I can switch.

I'll ask in the group mate.

Certain ones you will need to go by facebook but others you won't need and some of those you need FB if you require 'support'. Do you have a firestick, box, smart tv? (what do you plan watching on?).

I do have a fire stick (but thats usually at my mates for reasons), so other than that I always watch tv through my desktop which I have hooked up through my PC. I already have a VPN service, which I use on my PC, and can apply to the router if necessary; ditto for when at friend's and using the fire stick.

They've only been going since November or something so hoping to get a good year out of them at least.

That's not too bad then, doubt they will get too big before your year is up.

See what Barney says then, as you'll only need to visit FB once, if they can find a workaround that you should be fine. Alternative if they can't help is a different provider with no having to go through FB which one or two here can help you with im sure.

Groundskeeper Willie · « **Reply #1405 on:** February 23, 2018, 07:12:41 am »

I don't want FB either but I'm looking for good under the radar services too. I have one at the moment but would really like a backup or two.

How do I go about finding good providers on.my own? Someone sent a Reddit link but it's needle in a haystack to find the good ones.

I will be forever grateful to each who helps me along. Feel free to pm.

Asked on the support group about getting a sub without a Facebook account. You can indeed. Also said that they won't be on facebook soon anyway. I'll PM the couple of guys I see querying that with the link.

what do you think about the comments regarding 'growing the business' and asking people to share/resell? is only going to go one way isn't ?

Inevitably it will, just like every other one will. But I don't think they're big enough yet for the authorities to chase them so I'm just happy I've got a reliable one for the next load of months. None of these are going to last forever.

A reseller account may have been beneficial to me a fortnight ago before I referred you guys

LOF has been around for a decade to be fair.

Word of mouth, referrals, reselling, keeping off of Facebook/public social media shite, not sure why it's so hard for these other services to maintain that.

My SM expired a few months back - I'm assuming they're still only accepting bitcoin payments?

They don't do IPtv though. They are just web streams. Not used them this year for first time ever.

They haven't done sign ups for as long as I can remember.

247/Plus1 HD have been around for over 5 years though, no new sign ups there but they made another for newcomers: www.bigseason.tv It will be Bitcoin though.

Are you talking about an IPTV receiver? Because they have always had Kodi.

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #1415 on:** February 23, 2018, 07:03:50 pm »

You've done extremely well if you have LOF and not had to use it for a year, it's an essential back up for me

How much ballache is it to get bitcoin, lads?

Might have to dive in and get some and FL seems to be unreliable now and have only got LOF and that, so will renew on SM.

Groundskeeper Willie · « **Reply #1417 on:** February 24, 2018, 10:55:18 am »

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have 3 subs now so should be good for the rest of the season.

having used both, and with the ball-ache of bitcoin aside, there's no way id choose SM over FL....FL has had a couple of issues this year as you'd expect due to the nature of the beast - but my overall experience of it has been top of the shop

Feel daft having paid for a 3 month FL sub. I can't remember using it on a matchday without having problems.

Groundskeeper Willie · « **Reply #1420 on:** February 24, 2018, 02:06:36 pm »

I switched to a monthly sub on FL as it is quite good when it works. 7 a month I can live with a not perfect service.

Floorless didn't miss a beat today, tried my other sub alongside it on my phone and that seemed to work fine although I only tried it here and there as I had the rugby on mostly.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #1423 on:** February 24, 2018, 06:04:57 pm »

Floormore seemed fine today. Except it was missing the epl section so had to go through the American sport channel section

What device and method/software did you use?
The Kodi add on gives an error for me and I was getting site down for maintenance in the browser.

Although I haven't used it for a good few weeks, so there .at have been changed I hadn't implemented.

I used perfect player on the shield. They updated the links recently so you need to re add the url's

Again. It's good when it works, but it never works when there is a game on that I'm interested in. At least recently. Pointless.

It was off yesterday morning for server maintenance but was fine for the ev game. Its worth paying for a backup supplier though.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #1437 on:** March 4, 2018, 12:40:30 pm »

Yeah I don't use sm anymore either. Can't be bothered with Bitcoin. Maybe they might find an alternative at some point in the future. I did think on the whole sm was the best service. They always had the Liverpool games on pretty much right after they had finished so if you want the match you could watch it back as soon as you got in (it's what I do

)

The constant vpn was an issue too though I guess.

McrRed · « **Reply #1438 on:** March 4, 2018, 07:51:24 pm »

I ditched sm ages ago cos of the bitcoin debacle. FL started well but has been shite for me.
Went to globalls who have been fantastic... and the cheapest on the scene.
Current offer for new members £25 for the year. (£45 normally). Literally the best I've used.
