Suppliers with 1000's of channels, how do they do it?

[sc0tsman]

I have my own, small setup with a few hundred clients and roughly 400 channels, My question is how do other suppliers have 7/8/9000 channels as I host about 130 channels per server. Do these guys leech bandwidth/channels from other suppliers?

Maybe they rent a dedicated server, i think?
Because, famous IPTV stream in Indonesia using the methods as far as I know

I rent 4 dedicated servers.

For say 5000 channels that would require one helluva lot of servers and bandwidth, that's my query/point

Little Napoleon do not conquer world in one night. He start with one small city, then move to next. One who thinks quantity is important is a fool, because 3000 of caca is still only caca and 1000 of gold is still gold.

That's my take on it, I have 400 channels that people might, just might be interested in is more than enough.

My point is though HOW are they doing it surely they don't pay/run hundreds upon hundreds of servers then charge €20 per year, that can't work.

What will you choose
Sell 1000 accounts to earn 1000 dollars
or
Sell 1 million accounts to earn 50,000 dollars

those who are selling more then 1 million accounts are selling theme between 4 till 7 dollar

The more you sell the more bandwidth thus more costs it doesn't make economic sense

All of their channels compressed with the same bitrate
And that is not what many people do

Interesting. how do you "compress" channels.

Very nice but I doubt some if these kids with 1000s of cheap subscriptions will invest in that.

they are working as a group

After the studied work, the more you sell, the more You earn, even if sell with a cheap price .
and
if you will work alone you will not earn good money

 

[sc0tsman]

Thank you for your advise.

Scorpions is exactly right Sc0tsman, the "big boys" will restream off other big providers, i know a few who have 8-10 10gyg load balancers thats 80-100 gyg of bandwidth, then they buy unlimited stream packages so they can add 6, 7 8,000 channels as many as they want as theyll have a few restream packages from different suppliers, to get all the channels they need, its not cheap but they work together getting the best deal they can. Also UrGodfather is right as well, quality is always better than quantity. I have a few subs which were supposed to be the best around, on the vod it stops and starts on there servers, i have my own server and my missus uses it she said it never stops or starts, , so its either the amount of customers/ load on there servers or its setup wrong. shouldnt be stopping, starting . Or youd expect it not to.

Yeah I also believe in quality over quantity. I only run on 400 ish channels on stable servers. No freeze too.

Thank you.

You guys are missing the first part about little napoleon. What I’m saying is you cannot eat an elephant in one sitting, but you can with one bite at a time. Start small, build your way up.

Few will share information , Most people nowadays just want to sell it or display their muscles

Exactly right Urgodfather build up as you gain more customers so you have more money to invest into more servers, takes time to build, but also depends on how big you want to expand.
