    Can someone list those piracy subscription services so we can avoid them as responsible citizens?

      You should definitely avoid XtremeHD IPTV (http://xtremehdiptv.org/). For $15 a month, it’s way too cheap to offer all the live TV, movies, and series that it does. The article specifically mentions low pricing as a red flag, and I can definitely say that compared to what you’d normally pay for every live channel (including the premium ones and pay per view), series, and any just about any movie you can think of, this is most definitely a service that you should steer clear of.

        Hey man I have a question for you! Is this service download only or does it offer streaming too? Seems like a traditional torrent site to me, but just wanted to ask! Limited info on the site obvi.

          Eh…I don’t know. I think there is. But IDK and it may run extra…IDK. I blatantly ignore that stuff.

          I will look into that here in a minute. I will see what I can figure out.

            Seems to be invite only at the moment according to their sign up page. Any way for you to send an invite?
