Yes, one of the big, illegal, IPTV servers has been shut down with 6 million clients.
Just wait until they start going for the users!

Re: help iptv down
As the saying goes, "Never let the truth get in the way of a good headline" !
The REAL story: https://dimitrology.com/xtream-codes...pened-meaning/
Many services are already back up with minimum downtime and some never went off at all but sorry to say that if yours hasn't come back, or if you don't have an on screen message telling you what's happening and when you can expect it to be back, then I'm afraid it can only really mean that the provider has dumped not only you but all his customers pocketing any monies which may have been paid in advance as he went.
He may or may not reappear under a different guise but I doubt it will help you because if continuing the service was his intent it would have been back up well before now.
Will they come after actual customers, simply by the numbers and the scale of such a task I'd say that was improbable in the extreme. Don't forget the authorities have been here before both with IPTV and rebroadcasting services and didn't target users then so I see no reason to expect them to do any different now. And BTW if you were not using a VPN before this event then putting one in place now will be futile, horses and stable doors etc.
Will life become considerably more difficult and risky for providers, without a doubt yes because with a now whetted appetite going forward that's where resources to tackle illegal IPTV will be concentrated.

Re: help iptv down
Confusingly the xtreame fb page is back up,and they already have another webpage up....yes i know that what was taken down was not actually an IPTV server, but simply a "back end" interface and database, but concerning as this could well be the authorities trying to "snare" iptv providers and even try and track even more data and user.
I understand that most IPTV providers wer enot actually affected, but those that were were at the cheaper end of the scale, cheaper as they get someone else to do all their back end work...xtreme codes... many others use their own systems and or host them on their own servers and not on a third party servers like xtreme.
I too dont think they will go after the end users, same went for cardsharing a few years ago...(a lot of bars in benidorm were "raided" back in december, and had all "non official broadcast" equipment (Sky UK; Bein MEna, IPTV etc ) confiscated, and told that if they want it back to go with a lawyer to prove it was legal. Some idiots did go and failed...most did not and just got more equipment! But then using in bars ie public place is more an offence than in private residence) ...but i think they will start to go more for the infrastructure rather than individuals and resellers.
(according to a source i have, one of the reasons why one major expat sky card operator had all their cards cancelled recently was that some of those cards had been seen being used for IPTV! Yes, the iptv services can hide the "card code" that appears top right of the screen on sky sports channels at times, but Sky have also been putting this number in the middle of the screen during the advert bumpers, harder to catch)
That said, what about all the apps, like mobdro...? why has that not been closed since it is one of the more popular apps for accessing pay TV?
But then, look how long Pirate Bay has been operating for, despite being so well known...

For my part the loss of sport is no loss at all!
Never watch any and wouldn't care a fig if it never came back.

Re: help iptv down
The host sites can no longer claim ignorance hence the shut downs and inevitable respawns.
Serves you right for illegally watching tv where you don’t have rights to view it in said country.
VPN’ing for a legitimate service you have paid for is another thing.
Iptv sites clearly state that they provide an interface, and that is what you pay for. So you don’t really have a problem as the software is working as intended. Just your ilegal viewership is cut off.

Re: help iptv down
Subscription free UK TV - so no viewing cards required (so no Sky T&Cs to break)
Channels are free to air, legally available to anyone with a large enough satellite dish to receive them (EU rules, ethically and morally fine)
And as you live in Spain no UK TV tax to pay, which only applies to UK households. (So no UK or Spanish law broken - Spain has no TV Tax system).

Re: help iptv down
I use one of those options.
I cannot easily get it on my tv, but I can watch it on my 27” 5K monitor. Excellent quality.
As far as I know, that is OK with Sky so long as it is also used regularly in the UK.
