Subscribing to multicast-like cable TV (DVB-C) is good because I am not tracked, as opposed to on-demand streaming (IPTV), where provider knows what exactly was requested and stream is sent to a subscriber personally, hence full analytics available

In case of DVB-C, all TV channels are broadcasted and it is up to subscriber to pick each one up. For encrypted channels one must obtain keys via Conditional Access Module (CAM), but all provider knows is whether keys are provisioned or not (subscribed to that channel or not)

Hi.

I've setup a private IPTV server for my local network. It's great and I wanted to ask:

Does anyone know of a good IPTV player for Linux?

Other than TV-Lite since it uses VLC and it tends to go out of sync.

MPV works great but changing channels is a hassle.

Thank you
