They have a pretty decent one customized one with vodka and all. But with any service you can use it with any iptv player through m3u

Xtreme hd seemed to lose all US channels this weekend. Still looking.

Weird it lost just all US. Never used them but from what I see they offer way more than anyone needs. Bigger isn't always better. I prefer to stick with USA & English focused.

If you're using tivimate and have tv guide issues. I found that you need to allow storage permissions.

Have been using the same one I found on reddit 4/5 years ago. No issues and every channel imaginable

Can you give us the details on this? I'm getting very frustrated with the way streaming is dollar-billing me to death as I attempt patchworking things to my tastes.

Content wizards has a pretty impressive VOD but it’s been hit or miss because they are replacing the servers. Every channel has been rock solid.

How is the guide/interface? The one I'm using uses smarters TV app and it isn't very user friendly and does not have great guides.

You need to use TV Mate. It’s less than 10.00 for a year. The advantage by getting the subscription is you can save channels to your favorites.

I second tivimate. Buy the lifetime sub for 30 bucks and don’t look back.

I grabbed another month of IP torrents IPTV and it has been pretty solid. Still using smarters app which is kind of a pain but you can save stuff to favorites.

It's worth it just to try, imo. I'm trying to get Smarters to work on Roku but the channel hasn't added yet. I use TiviMate on my Nvidia Shield and Fermata Auto in my truck.

Well now you've forced me down the AAAD rabbit hole. Wasn't aware of that before. Thanks for the tip.

No problem. shite is cool as hell but you better have good cell service if you don't want buffering while you're driving around. I mostly just use it on Saturdays when I have to leave the house during a game I want to watch.

Yeah, I figured. That makes sense. I'd expect a lot of buffering.

Does any of this work on fire TV?

Should be because it uses the android os so even if it isn't in the app store you can sideload. Older firesticks might struggle some but the players don't seem to require a lot out of the hardware.

Works fine on firestick. Put in developer mode, install downloader, install smarters tv interface from downloader, subscribe to an IPTV service and use the login they give you to login to smarters. Done.

Came back to agree with this and if you really want to fine tune things and make sure everything has an EPG that's up to date and get rid of channels that don't (or that you just don't want), then I'd highly recommend IPTV Boss.

I have two different providers and feed them both into that and come out with a custom URL playlist with the EPG that automatically updates daily and saves in DropBox.

Older firesticks


I'd recommend getting a Firestick 4K. I ordered two regular off Amazon and one of those ended up being a 4K. The difference is night and day.
