My advice, just ask them. They are pretty straight forward. Some on here are already using them, so ask their experience.

They aren’t the cheapest, but I’ve had them for years and their shite just works. If it doesn’t, they fix it or refund you.

Perfect. And this comment reminds me of another question. I’ve seen a lot of you saying you have back up services. Are you literally paying for 2 or more separate IPTV services, or just multiple connections through the same IPTV service in case one connection/channel is struggling?


The guys I use provide you a back up as a part of the package. Completely different servers.

Thanks. I may hit you up for a referral after I do a little more digging. Unfortunately, I have a Roku 4K so I’ll have to get a new streaming device before I get started. I’ll likely get an NVIDIA Shield.

Would you mind sending me an invite please sir. I'm currently doing a trial with another provider due to this YTTV/Disney fiasco, but I'm not sold on it. I'd like to give your guys a shot.

ETA: Got it. Thank you sir!

I got my Shield and will have some downtime tomorrow to get everything set up. Could you please refer me to your provider?

Edited to remove email. Thanks for the referral.

Uh, I just looked at IP Guys and that’s not what I get at all, lol. I think they have their own servers, bro.

4 feeds on one
1 feed on the other with upgrades to 4 lines, if you want it. Huge VOD.

None of that was IP guys. Their shite looked rickety lol.

Looked at Apollo and it’s more like that with a giant VOD (it’s huge) and a back up service.

Thanks for the referral. I just got all the info from them. They’re suggesting their own app. Have you used theirs and just prefer Tivimate?


You’ll be getting a free month here shortly.

I use tivimate but people on the discord say the app is legit. My suggestion, go with their app and save the 30 bucks for tivimate. If you don’t like the app, spend the 30 bucks for tivimate.

Their app is just their own rolled up version of tivimate. It's solid. I haven't had any problems with it. Side note. I had a problem playing ONE movie on the VOD, I asked about it on the discord (didn't make a stink. Just asked if anyone else had that problem to try and diagnose it), and they refunded me $5 for the trouble of not being able to watch that one movie. It was a codec issue. CW is the bomb

Just open that shite in VLC. If I have one complaint, and it’s not really a complaint, it’s that some older movies have issues. The VOD is insanely large so I get it, but if I’m nitpicking, that’s really it. Usually you can play them in VLC though.

The only other issue, and it’s nitpicking, sometimes a channel won’t work or go offline. All you need to do is find the same channel on the other feed. I’ve never seen a channel be down on both feeds.

I also highly suggest expanding the lines for the VOD, especially if you want to watch a bunch of games in split screen or have others in the house who want to watch shows and movies. It’s cheap.

I hooked everything up with CW this morning and I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty damn impressed so far.

Strangely, I’m only having problems when I try to connect behind the VPN. No, I don’t really need it, but it is a little baffling.

Dafuq?

I’ve never experienced that at all. I went with proton because that’s what they suggested, and I’ve had no problems.

I'm very impressed as well. Still tinkering, but I think this one is a keeper.

Lots of LSU programming interest in the Discord chat. I can't imagine why
