I know it's probably because there's money to be made.

I just wish there was a good place to discuss IPTV providers that wasn't full of sketchy resellers over promising and under delivering. You'd think they could at least sort out their EPGs as most I have used are like 80% complete at best.

Not asking for provider recommendations, not sure if that's allowed here. Just wondering if y'all know of a place where that shit can be discussed in a neutral and honest environment?

In Canada, where they can put up brick and mortar shops, it’s not uncommon to see resellers. It’s a business to them. The market sees an opportunity, and fills it.

Ironically I'm ok with this in moderation... But scalpers that charge a high price, more than materials and maybe a small fee, I dislike.

Filling a void is a service. While there a grey area, there's a balance between acceptable fee and blatant junk.

Region locking of any type I feel should be outright illegal, but I'm just a lowly pirate with bent ethics.
