So there are a few of us that ditched DSTV, and now we struggle for sport.

One way of getting sports is using NTV, however, it is a pain as there is no AppleTV or SmartTV app out there that lets you watch NTV on your big screen.

I played around this weekend, and managed to get it working.

Android Device:

  1. Install MX Player from the play store
  2. Download Matrix TV Browser from the play store
  3. Buy yourself a copy of AllCast Premium on the play store ($5)
  4. Launch Matrix TV Browser, it will prompt you for a server, type NTV.MX
  5. Enter your login details.
  6. browse for the action you want to watch, and start the video.
  7. once the videio is started, select options > Tools > Share then select the "AllCast" icon.
  8. AllCast will launch and it will show all the devices you can stream to.
  9. Sit back and enjoy sports on the big screen.

The above sounds like a lot of work, but once you have done it once or twice it is actually VERY easy.

I am able to stream to my LG TV, AppleTV 4 and AppleTV 3.

Alternative
If you have a mac, and you are able to sideload Kodi onto your AppleTV, then do that, and install the NTV plugin. That way no android device is necesary.

If you do have a mac, and live close to Kempton Park, please help a fella out with the side loading :)

See you still have to pay in Euros for a subscription?
 
I've loaded IPTV channel on Plex and through that I can watch skysports. Just need to find a playlist with active streams (they usually don't last long). Found one last night, unfortunately there is currently no rugby games on. So will see if it still works this weekend

Where did you find the IPTV Plex channel?
 
Thanks, I found that the unsupported channels have very little to no content.
 
Don't know, I currently use G2G and SS PLEX and they are full of series and movies. But sport channels are difficult to find. Read last night its because its live streaming. Plex has clients for multiple platforms, that is why its difficult to stream everything, cause they don't know on which platform the client is running and what transcoding to use for that platform. Where Kodi, usually only uses android/windows
 
I dont have much luck with SS Plex. There are tons of listings, but most are either "content not found" or "format not supported".
 
Strange, on the tv series when it tells me content not found, I just use another source in the list. 95% of the time it works (unless there is a hickup on ss-plex, and that also does happen)
 
This is an awesome thread. Thanks.

Just wanted to confirm which channels broadcast the Super Rugby and Cricket live?
 
Well I’ve moved up in the world and got iptv through kodi. Worked like a charm. All the sky sport channels. They don’t always show curriecup matches but they do show all the international ones

If it were this simple there would be a big massive thread here on massive mybb
 
Also the less info here, the less chance of it getting blocked cos we all know how these things goes!
 
There are tons of iptv providers out there. But nothing is free. So the good ones charge a premium. And then just basically add their addon to kodi and bobs your uncle
 
ace stream + reddit soccer streams is my fix.
 
To the guys that use IPTV.. do you also use a VPN service will using IPTV? or just good all direct connection?
