iptv always sounds awesome.....for me but also a pain in the arse in some ways


Really? Everyone I have over/stay at my house loves it. HD, every channel known to man, and a great tv guide.

Great thread as there is quite a bit of truth here. But if falls short in one aspect. What IPTV products are you all subscribing to?

I use Redpill and they are pretty stable. I've used them for about 3 years now paying about 65 pounds per 6 months. They also offer a backup service for I think 25 pounds for 6 months that uses a separate source and so if you have a bad channel on the primary service you click over to the backup. I don't think I've not been able to watch a channel since Ive had the backup too. Is there an occasional buffer? Yes. Is it bad, not usually. I watch Football, Baseball, Cycling, Track&Field and a bunch of other sports on Eurosport and its usually a good feed.

They have very active Discord group that provides support and a bunch of other info.

They have there own branded Tivimate you can download or you can download your own tivimate and input your Xstream Code parameters which they will provide.

Roku makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible to use IPTV on.

OP needs either a fire stick, which I wouldn't recommend if you want a nice looking and functioning stick or a big boy shield, which is what I use. There are also plenty of android boxes or sticks in between those options though.

I use shields and a 3rd party launcher to remove all ads and promos and have just a plain, clean interface that's totally customizable.

I can give a referral to my main provider, but my backup provider would be a challenge for a lot of people to pay for and setup for the most part.

It's about 60 bucks for 2 connections for 6 months and you can add Plex for 10/month.

I know that paid solutions are generally frowned upon in these types of threads, and it’s not EXACTLY the target audience, but ChannelsDVR is $80/y, requires a server (very low resource, but a second dealbreaker for some willing to pay at all), and will login all TVE (which is not IPTV, per se), allow HDHomeRun locals, and m3u playlists (most of your IPTV providers)


It gives a very nice menu/nav, and you can set favorites and search
It has apps for most streaming box platforms (Amazon, Roku, android, apple)
I actually used xTeve and have mine concurrently outputting an m3u playlist for Emby.


I have a small, local cable company. After I purchased Channels, it did not work. I emailed them explaining that it didn’t work- looking for a fix or a refund. They asked for my login info to my TVE account. I was hesitant to give it to them, but I did (after changing it). I got an email back within hours that said thanks and that was very helpful. They fixed whatever problem it was, pushed an update, and I was up and running. I changed my password again, immediately, and I’ve had no problems with it since.

I can promise no one will want to deal with Xteve. I tried and it was just a hassle on my end too.
