IPTV/Firestick

[MikeBHAFC]

 With the options of paying a fortune in England for the full range of broadcasters. Sky. TNT. Amazon and a total blackout on 3pm Saturday games, many, (despite the recent jailing of a dodgy firestick vendor for 2 years ) have turned to alternative ways of watching live football. 
 The authorities using the usual claims that these devices are depriving the proper channels of income, funding more serious crimes ( though why any criminal who can commit more serious crimes would waste his time on low level stuff escapes me). 

 This geezer had 3000 customers through an invitation only Facebook group so he was probably earning enough to stay away from robbing banks.

 I have viewed a few streams through friends having a firestick,  quality varies with some serious buffering at times but we are watching feeds from Asia or Australia of Brighton games that are not being shown live here, we also know that the Hong Kong subscriptions are no where near the money I am paying sky for my legitimate football account.
 
 Armchair fans,who I suspect are the majority of the clients for these devices, are not going to go to live games anyway. The games, and every game is available somewhere in the world, are blocked here so the Football clubs are not losing revenue, nor Sky or the other broadcasters.

 Yes it is naughty, but I don't feel a criminal for watching Brighton beat Norwich away in the FA Cup last weekend.A game not available on legitimate means.In truth, I could care less about the broadcasters bank balances.

 Are IPTV/ Firesticks a thing in Germany or, are you all good boys and only watch what you pay for?

Also in Germany some guys going to use Firesticks.
There are different Options, for example you can use Kodi without paying anything.
With this you have great buffering problems.
An other option is to pay for IPTV then mostly the stream runs.
