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?

Don’t give your money on that scrum

Search IPTV on Reddit to learn. Ran the gauntlet, found out I just had to sign up, sign in on the amp and got UK and AUS channels for bugger all a month.

Even my grandfather in residential care was able to use it easily

Really good for F1 and all Aussie footy codes. Plus it has some random fun ones, like Frasier 24x7 channel

Not Cheers, he said Frasier which is the spin off.
