I found a decent IPTV service instead that provides a m3u. I was previously using sling TV and other subscriptions. Saves a ton of money, but reliability is a little lower.

May i ask how you got started with IPTV? I cancelled my YouTube TV and have seen it mentioned but got overwhelmed finding a provider :/

There's some decent providers listed on https://lemmy.opensupply.space/c/iptv_subs

Quite a few services don't really go out of their way to advertise too much, as they could attract negative attention doing so. They rebroadcast paid material, usually using personal servers and cable/satellite subscriptions to do so. There's some legal liability with doing that, obviously. You'll want to find a service that has fast servers, the best way is to request a trial with them and download a player such as "IPTV smarters pro" and put in the server info and user/pass they give you. Give each service a shot, and see which one has the best "bang for your buck" in terms of reliability and affordability.
