I'm in the market for an IPTV service that can supply me with a reliable m3u8 list and XMLTV listings for premium UK and Ireland channels.

The m3u8 list needs to be relatively stable without frequent changes to the channel order etc.

I plan to add the list to nextPVR on windows or tvheadend on Linux as a back end server for the pvr add-on in kodi.

I am using a home theatre PC configured in this way already with an antenna connected to a dvb tuner card, and I am already very happy with my setup.

I intend to supplement the channels I already have available to me with an IPTV service for the premium UK and Ireland channels I am missing.

I have a nice kodi menu already that I do not intend to stop using, so I would like to simply add the m3u8 list to my backend server, along with the xmltv file. I do not wish to use an apk, perfect player, a specific kodi add-on etc.

I am interested only in UK and Ireland channels.

I don't care about VOD tv shows or movies because I already have access to an extensive media collection and other streaming / downloading options for this.

I am in the UK and can use a VPN, but would prefer a provider who is not subject to the EPL block because I often use services such as the BBC iPlayer through kodi on a frequent basis and having an always-on VPN can interfere with this.

Sports replays on-demand (especially late night boxing because of the time-zone difference between here and the USA) would be a huge bonus but is not essential.

If there is a reliable service out there that fits these requirements it is highly likely I will be a repeat customer for a long time.

Specific channels I am interested in include RTE 1, RTE 2, TV3, TG4, 3E, RTE News Now, and the entertainment and documentary channels from the UK sky package.

TL;DR

UK and Ireland premium channels, stable m3u8 list and XMLTV, no ISP block, sports on-demand a bonus but nonessential.

If someone can offer a service that fits the bill hit me up.

PS I've tried vaders and while it fits the bill in most ways, it hasn't been very reliable of late.
