I’m aware of that. But it’s similar I assume to encrypted traffic to, say, a Usenet provider? Where the content itself isn’t identifiable vs just where it’s from (and thus what type).
I ask because vpn makes sense to me for torrents where you seed and thus upload, but I assume there is no uploading with iptv? So unless it’s common for users to be held accountable - I’m trying to understand the purpose in this specific use case.
Is the connection to iptv providers typically not encrypted? I understand the vpn if you just don’t want to be shown interacting at all - but beyond that does it matter?
Yep. If you’re really desperate, you could even mess up the WiFi adapter in the tv. Mine actually stopped functioning and I had to open it up to fix it. Now I turned it off and use a separate device for the tv.
Music and software/games. Both are convenient and relatively affordable to access.
Software I will try to find non-subscription based or open source options if available.
I feel like that would be really bad for their business and so they’ll be not inclined to do so…
