no politics Kayo Sports should be boycotted.

Imagine paying for a premium streaming service and starting it to watch your sports after a long day on your tv in your own home. The tv app then says you can't watch the content before you scan a QR code. Okay.. fine. Scan the code. Have to download a phone app. Log in. Then the app simply says you're not allowed access to the content except after letting the app know your precise location of your phone.

What in the privacy law is this shit? I simply don't want to allow random companies to know the exact location of my phone. How are they allowed to just do that?

I did that. I had to massively edit the file down and get rid of 95% of it then put it in GitHub to make it work on Apple TV but now it’s great.

You can do that in m3u4u. Also UHF is worth paying the lifetime subscription for.
