So does Viark with a satellite dish 👍 allow you to watch encrypted channels or do you have to do some magic with it.

Yes. But there are other solutions. That don't require dish. There are sat enthusiasts who use them on here.
The majority use IPTV. Obviously you need a sub. I think your 1st year is included in the price of buying box.

Android is by the far the better. You can add iptv or buy accounts if you no where to get them.

Do you mean your first year is included in buying the Satellite box or the Android box

why do people panic when news like this comes up? The premier League have had a similar court order for years, basically it has failed, why do people think this latest court order for Sky is going to be any more effective, from what I can see, it just allows them to attempt to block more content. If they are struggling to block premier league games on a regular basis, they are going to struggle with other content.

Personally I don't panic at news like this but I take heed of it. Like if I was due a renewal I would probably take monthly subs till the new season is underway and see how things pan out. It's easy to make light of the news but there have been times where the powers that be have been very successful in disrupting illegal viewing - the death of CS, the blocks on the first day of the season when customers first moved en masse over to iptv in (i think) 2017, and the xtream raids.
 
i'm a little out of touch now.
I use an M3U file in VlC player and to be fair it works great as i only really watch the sport.
Nothing else on mainstream telly worth watching now.
Used to have all the old cable boxes till they stopped them working.
Thinking of cancelling Virgin this year any way i only have broadband and they increased my price this year from £31 to £38 a month.
What would be a good Android box these days.

More and more suppliers are no longer giving M3u out for good reasons.

Pretty much all proved fruitless over time pirate tv has been around since the eighties and will continue to be.

Most people start with firestick will work fine. Some move onto better boxes.

Buzz
Formuler
Sheild

Or you can use enigma 2 boxes bit out of touch with those.

Interesting.
Ive always found the hardware to be the problem with lagging and buffering. Having to keep upgrading hardware.
IPTV is TV over the internet and as such should surely work better with a PC without the need for addition hardware.

You are going to get a small lag. But you have to look at the savings. Buffering shouldn't be too much of a issue if you use a wired connection

Must have experienced bad providers a fire stick 4k max is a brilliant device to run iptv or any other streaming service.

I can only speak from experience but the M3u file i run on my desktop is the best service i have experienced.
I get your point though to run it on a TV is a different ballgame. my desktop is wired of course wouldn't have it any other way.

Lets be honest how many people want to watch tv on a laptop compared to a nice 55" tv not many. The 4k max sticks were on offer 2 weeks ago for £38 one of those would last 3 years at least.

Of Course. I don't have a laptop by the way waste of money. I get it for a 55 inch TV you need additional hardware and that's what most people do.
Invest in a good desktop and HD large monitor and of course you will get a lot longer than 3 years. But I do get it. my nephew has just purchased a 65" TV !! should be nice watching the footie on that.. 🤣🤣
