TV using internet

Hello,
Any way to watch TV in Lebanon using Internet Connection without a Dish?
(Lebanese channels needed of course besides foreign channels)
Thank you

Re: TV using internet

If you have a good bandwidth(10 Mbps+) you can subscribe to IPTV and install Smart iptv app on samsung or android tvs. Here is a link to which i am subscribed to https://iptvplix.com/. They have all the local lebanese channels including LBC, OTV and even OSN and Bein etc. It is 60$ per year  and offer free trial. Do note that you need a decent internet bandwidth if you don't want buffers i recommend 10Mbps+.

That usually means its from the servers of the provider themselves.
Which is why im looking for a reliable one, most i've used so far either have too many stuttering channels (with a 25mbps connection) and too many channels that simply don't work.

You could try the iptv services that are advertised, but you can also go the netflix/amazon prime route (more if you have a good vpn).  It is hard finding an a la carte package for IPTV so you end up getting a lot of channels you are paying for and not getting what you want.  There are also IPTV boxes sold around and subscription is $80 or more a year.  A lot of diaspora buy them here and take them to the US, Canada and Europe so they can watch Arabic channels.

My experience with them for the past year was quite pleasing tbh. Most channels offered are 480p and others like OSN and bein can go up to 1080p which can eat up your quota if you spend a lot of time watching as for 480p i don t think it is quite consuming. They also have VOD(video on demands) and you'd be surprised  on how much recent they are. I think as soon as a decent torrent is uploaded they add it a day after in high quality(.mkv) They offer 3 days trial if you want with no commitment nor cc infos you just have to send them an email. Some rants here and there is that rarely some channels are not as diplayed as an example OSN ID for the arab region is Discovery channel etc.. But you can always watch ID US in the United States category and so on.
