I believe that the answer is something called IPtv .
I dont know exactly how it works, but what i do know is that i have a hookup with a guy in my area, he apparently hooks up a number of people and right now the whole thing is word of mouth- but the important thing is that i get 10,000 channels for $80 PER YEAR… not a typo.. is it operating in a gray area legally speaking ? Probably.. to me it kinda reminds me of some of the people back in the 1980s who would steal their neighbor’s cable signal, except im actually paying somehting for mine.. i get all the espns and fox sports and news and even though im out of the country, i can watch all the NOLA channels 4,6,8,26 etc i want, or channels in Little Rock or Seattle if i want.. the app I downloaded is a little glitchy at times, but hey for $80 per year i cant complain a whole lot.. my advice would be to google, ask around and find someone in ur area who has the hookup for IPtv .
