Affiliate Disclosure & Legality Notice
How this site makes money, what that does and does not influence, and where we stand on the legality of the services we document.
Affiliate compensation
Some links from this site to provider websites are affiliate links. If you subscribe after following one, we
may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Links of this kind are marked
rel="sponsored" in the page source, which is the standard machine-readable declaration, and they
are the only way this site is funded — we run no display advertising and take no payment from providers
for coverage.
What commission does not buy
- Not a label. A provider's status is set by our documented process, not by whether a commercial relationship exists.
- Not a placement. Our comparison table sorts alphabetically or by the column you choose. No brand has purchased a position.
- Not a preview. No provider has ever been shown a page before publication, and none has editorial input of any kind.
- Not silence. Where we find that a brand shares its price card and marketing copy with dozens of others, we publish that whether or not a commission is involved.
The practical test of this is our storefront template report, which is unflattering to a large share of the brands we link to.
Legality notice
IPTV as a technology is lawful. Whether any particular service is lawful depends on whether it holds distribution rights for the channels it carries in your territory — a private contractual matter that cannot be verified from outside. We have not audited content licensing for any provider listed on this site, and nothing here should be read as a statement that a service is licensed.
Listing a provider is not an endorsement or a legal opinion. It is a record of what that provider publishes. Our legality guide explains how the question is structured and which signals correlate with risk.
No warranty
These services change pricing, ownership and availability without notice, and four domains in our index have stopped resolving entirely since we began tracking. Information here is accurate as of the last-checked date on each page and is provided without warranty. Your subscription decisions, and any consequences of them, are your own.
Editorial independence
We publish findings that reduce affiliate revenue — advice to buy the shortest term rather than the highest-commission annual plan, and research showing that most brands in this market are not meaningfully distinguishable. If that ever stops being true, this page is where you should expect to notice it first.
Contact
Corrections, particularly from providers whose published terms we have recorded inaccurately, are welcome and will be actioned with a dated note. See our methodology for how we handle them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BestProviders earn money from these links?
Yes. Some outbound links are affiliate links marked rel="sponsored", and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This is the site's only funding — there is no display advertising and no payment for coverage.
Do providers pay for a better listing?
No. Table positions are alphabetical or sorted by the column you choose, no brand has purchased placement, and no provider sees a page before it is published.
Are the IPTV services on this site legal?
We have not audited licensing for any of them and make no claim either way. IPTV technology is lawful; whether a given service is depends on rights it does not publish.
Is a listing on this site an endorsement?
No. A listing records what a provider publishes and how it compares with the rest of the market. Much of what we publish is unflattering to the brands we link to.
