This group of iptv ( https://playersklubiptv.com/ ) with the price 9.9$/month use overdue payment.

I use one month July 2019 backup , next month I leaved so in September I turn back. At this moment when i payed for this month , I was charged with overdue payment.

The direction in which these guys took it has nothing to do with professionalism .

I posted to prevent others from suffering like me.

The service I came across is called Team Orion. Before I tell you about their service, let me tell you about their security. So when I found the site I immediately did a WHOIS search on the domain name. It's hosted by a company out of Iceland by a group of privacy advocates. They take Bitcoin payments with no information given. This means the seller is 100% anonymous. I later asked the seller for all the precautions they took setting up, and I was told they anonymously registered the domain name with Bitcoin through a third party that specializes in anonymous domain names, uses encrypted emails through a well known private email server, and only takes Bitcoin on a platform they signed up for anonymously, and they transfer that Bitcoin to a hardware wallet. The result, pure anonymity for the seller and for the customer.

Having said that, that means you do need to pay with cryptocurrency. Currently they take Bitcoin, USDX, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Etherium, and is looking to add more in the future. Bitcoin is not hard to use, you just open a wallet with Coinbase or Blockchain or whatever else you want, and buy bitcoins with your credit card or whatever means the wallet provides. Then you go to the checkout screen, scan the QR code and you're done. As soon as the confirmations go through, your account info is sent. It's worth learning, aside from this service.

Anyway onto the service review. I've spent the last 2 months testing this.

So there are two different servers Team Orion offers. One is a North American server, and one is a European server. I did test both, but I did not spend much time at all on the European server as I am based in North America. However in the week or so that I did use it, it was quite good...zap times on channels were a bit slow but that might be because I'm so far from the server. UK sports coverage is very good on it though.

The North American server...I was expecting the performance of the service to be lower quality for some reason, but I connected to this and was thoroughly impressed. The sports and events on this thing are outrageous. There are PPV events every weekend that I've never even heard of and they're all on there without fail. For combat sports fans, I dare you to try to find an event not covered on this. It even has live Japanese wrestling, haha. Sports are glorious 60fps, and you can get up to 5 connections so multiscreen is a dream on it on Sundays.

The US section is also very strong. High def channels, quick load times, good EPG, and just really stable in general. The Canada section is ok, it has all the main stuff there but there are a few SD feeds. As Canadian feeds go though, quite good compared to many others. The international section I spend almost no time on but seems to just be there for the sake of being there. I wouldn't buy it based on that, it's up and down a lot and a lot of the time I scroll through them and they just flat out don't work. The UK section is good, I don't think I'd trust it for soccer on Saturdays but I suppose that's what the other UK server is for. For the every day basic UK channels it's pretty well covered though.

Another thing for sports, in the sports sections (ie NFL, MLB, etc) the channel names are the games that day (ie Patriots vs Steelers) so you're not scrolling through a bunch of "NFL Gamepass 01" with no EPG info and you're blindly looking for the game you want. That's an important detail for me.

Now like any service there are moments where they do a server reboot, or something goes bad and it takes a few minutes longer than expected to come back up, but that has only happened once and it was about 20 minutes in the time I've used it, during off peak hours so it seemed like scheduled maintenance that hit a snag maybe. I opened a ticket during this period to see what the response time would be like from support. They were probably pretty slammed with tickets but I got a response within 10 minutes and shortly after a "we are conducting maintenance, please don't submit a ticket" was put up in the client area so I know they were working on it.

There is very, very limited VOD on the North American server but they also sell a separate VOD service for I think $7 that is really deep and has 4K content. I bought a month and used it a few times but I let it lapse since I just didn't watch it enough. Seemed solid while I had it.

So, with the security measures in place, a really good solid service, and the amount of content on here...I was expecting a pretty high price. Well...starts at $11 for a month, and you can add up to 5 connections. Can't go wrong with that.

Overall, giving this a solid 4.5/5 stars based on what I use it for. You may have a difference experience, I don't know. But for $11 and knowing my info is safe...I'm gonna stick with them for a while.

STOP - READ this message now BEFORE proceeding ​

This is the fourth installment in my "US Sports Perfection" series of reviews. To remind everyone, my goal is NOT to have the cheapest set up. Rather, it is to be able to watch any and every US Sports or Premium event in 60fps FHD/HD when I choose to watch it. This could be NCAA Football, Boxing PPV or NFL Football... but I want perfect feeds every time. The fact that no one could possibly provide perfect feeds every time simply means that I need a collection of providers that between them, ponies up a perfect feed every time without having to go through "heroic measures". Additionally, I want all of my US cable channels and premiums (for the wife mostly). And I need a little catchup, particularly for MSNBC.

​

---- MY CURRENT PROVIDER MIX ----

​

In my last review, I had presented four providers that provided me with the coverage to achieve my stated goal. This month finds three of the same providers, along with a minor tweak:

​

1. Jarvis (bought from u/Jarvis912) - Jarvis is a reseller of Primestreams. Great 60fps FHD/HD feeds of pretty much every US Sports network, regional and premium feed. These guys continue to impress me with some of the best pictures coupled with outstanding stability. Jarvis has assumed the top spot on this list because their streams have been rock solid. I've had 100% uptime and virtually no buffering. If they had catchup they would be absolutely perfect! Also, if you are a fan of VOD (not my thing, but probably some of you love it), Jarvis has an extremely inexpensive addon service called Hitman for just this purpose. Very highly recommended.

​

2. Hydrogen (bought from u/Jcast356) - I continue to be very impressed with this service. While their offering isn't nearly as large (number of channels) as some of the competition, almost everything is in blazing 60fps FHD/HD. Their channel mix contains all of the major US sports channels that I need, but I wish that they could add the missing ESPN College Extra and Fox College Sports, for example. Channel surfing this monster is an absolute joy. Their EPG is a thing of beauty... very well populated and maintained. Their latest apk adds the ability to display up to 4 streams simultaneously (NCAA Tourney, here we come!) Add to this lots of Catchup channels and extensive VOD for those who want it. The only drawback is that I've had one brief outage and minimal daily buffering... hence their position at number 2 on this list. This service is a required component of my mix.

​

3. Premium (bought from u/Jcast356) - Premium is a rebranding of Helix... a service that I've used for a very long time. While they are a little inconsistent, the availability of multiple feeds for virtually every channel pretty much ensures that Premium has a HD/FHD 60fps stream of everything I'm looking for. Add to that the fact that they have catchup on over 900 channels, and Premium becomes a necessary addition to my provider pool. Additionally, by utilizing the rebranded "Premium" service I recieve many "extras" (all channels, adult, etc) for far less money than Helix charges directly. Also, you can use PayPal instead of BTC if you choose.

​

4. Cool As Ice (bought from u/Rwin01) - CoolAsIce continues to operate in a mode that allows me to call them a "Premium Provider". They have the channels that I need, in glorious HD/FHD 60fps! While CAI offers some Catchup channels, they are not nearly as extensive as Premium or Hydrogen. I have had a few glitches with uptime and periodic buffering, but nothing major. u/Rwin01 has demonstrated that he cares about his customers, and after he introduced me to the primaries of this service, I can say that they want the same... and it shows!

​

NOTE: I noted last month that I was evaluating three other services, and promised that I would report back. None of them worked out well enough to become part of my mix. Some details are below.

​

---- PRICING ----

​

The current monthly price for these 4 providers, depending upon term length, is approximately $37USD. I run them through TiViMate ($5USD/year), an app that I feel is easily the best IPTV player available anywhere (and it now feature the absolute best catchup functionality anywhere!). A subscription to Xtream-Editor still keeps the total price under $40/month and allows me to customize the lineup and folder groupings to my exacting standards. Your pricing may vary depending upon term lengths, promotions, etc. For this outlay, I get everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) that I could possibly want out of "Live TV". This is certainly overkill for some of you, but it suits me very well.

​

---- NOTES ----

​

1. People ask me why I use 4 providers instead of subscribing to mainstream services. The answer is simple, I cannot attain my objective of being able to watch any US Sports event by using nothing but mainstream providers. The need for ALL of the US Sports regional channels means that I need to use IPTV to provide the necessary exposure.

​

2. I often see posts in this sub along the lines of "are resellers as reliable as providers?". The answer is that it entirely depends upon the reseller. I far prefer using an honest, reputable and dedicated reseller... but believe me... that's far from a given thing. Many resellers are only in it for a quick cash hit, and they have absolutely no intention of doing any more work than they absolutely have to! All of the resellers that I've listed above have gone out of their way to "work with me" in ensuring that their product suits my needs. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY!

​

3. YOU CAN HELP ME. Look at my desirements above. Look at what I have. Look at who I've liked (and why). Look at the "Not For Me" list below. Have I missed someone who provides a unique service? Have I completely missed the mark with my synopsis reviews? Is there just someone else that I really, really need to check out? Please help me figure out who belongs in my provider mix above! I would really love some ideas. BUT... if you are going to suggest a provider, please be certain to tell me WHY THEY WOULD IMPROVE MY IPTV WATCHING EXPERIENCE as it relates to my stated objective above.

​

4. A word about "trials". I really don't believe that a 24-48 hour trial does much of anything to help you evaluate their suitability. Most of these trials aren't available for weekends or PPV events, making it very difficult to glean much useful data from the experience. In my opinion, you should do your research first (read reviews, gather channel lists, ask questions on Reddit), and then you should bite the bullet and subscribe for a full month. Take the time to integrate them into your watching environment (Xtream-Editor, TiViMate favorites, etc). Live with them... and then (and only then), make your decision as to their suitability. If they are close, but not quite there... perhaps contact with the reseller or provider can get it sorted.

​

---- NOT FOR ME ----

​

Providers that have not worked out for me along with reasons why...

​

Smoothstreams - Currently under evaluation... a full report will be available in the next edition of this report.

​

Crystal Clear / XStreamZ - This provider has drifted on and off of my radar several times in the last 2 years. As of this moment, they are off because they dropped all of their catchup channels. The feeds are pretty good, many in HD/FHD 60fps. Unfortunately, they are having some current problems with buffering and dead channels. I'm sure that I'll end up trying them again in the future (I always do).

​

Eternal, Area51, TNT, GE - all cheap services that work, and in some cases offer reasonable stability... but the picture isn't good (terrible frame rates) to the point that they give me a headache.

​

Twisted - I had a bad experience with these guys. Your mileage may vary.

​

Beams, ResoluteD - After last time's writeup, I tried them again since so many people (who I really respect) speak highly of Beams/ResoluteD... but I remain unimpressed. It isn't cheap, doesn't have great USA channel selection and has mostly 30fps feeds... but it is stable. Not good enough to remain viable in my provider pool.

​

Gears, Epicstreams - These are high priced providers with terrible video quality. I don't understand the crack that y'all are smoking!

​

Nitro, Beast, Inferno, Dark Media - Expensive providers with great lineups that just lack in the stability department. I can't watch a solid hour without some sort of glitch.

​

FAB, Flawless, ACE, Vader - R.I.P.

​

---- RESELLER NOTICE ----

​

A note to resellers/providers - I would absolutely love to evaluate your service... but please take the time to really read my post and then explain what makes your product a great fit for "US Sports Perfection". Please PM me with your details.

3. Helix (bought from https://helixhosting.ninja/) - While they are a little inconsistent, the availability of multiple feeds for virtually every channel pretty much ensures that Helix has a HD/FHD 60fps stream of everything I'm looking for. Add to that the fact that they have Catchup on over 900 channels, and Helix becomes a necessary addition to my provider pool. There are multiple resellers of this service as well as the official page that I've listed, and I will move to a reseller version in September since the rebranded "Premium" service provides many "extras" for less money (talk to u/Jcast356).

​

4. Cool As Ice (bought from u/Rwin01) - Since my last write up, CoolAsIce has added everything that I felt was necessary to call them a "Premium Provider". The channels are now there, in glorious HD/FHD 60fps! While CAI offers some Catchup channels, they are not nearly as extensive as Helix or Hydrogen... but they did add my MSNBC, so I'm thankful for that. u/Rwin01 has demonstrated that he cares about his customers, and after he introduced me to the primaries of this service, I can say that they want the same... and it shows!

​

NOTE: I've got three other services that I am currently preparing to evaluate for their suitability in my mix going forward. I will report back on them after I've had a real chance to put them to the test.

​

---- PRICING ----

​

My current monthly price for these 4 providers is approximately $37USD. I run them through TiViMate ($5USD/year), an app that I feel is easily the best IPTV player available anywhere (although it still struggles with catchup... so I use IPTV Extreme Pro for that). A subscription to Xtream-Editor still keeps the total price under $40/month and allows me to customize the lineup and folder groupings to my exacting standards. Your pricing may vary depending upon term lengths, promotions, etc. For this outlay, I get everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) that I could possibly want out of "Live TV". This is probably over kill for some of you, but it suits me very well.

​

---- NOTES ----

​

1. People ask me why I use 4 providers when this costs me as much as subscribing to mainstream services. The answer is simple, I cannot attain my objective of being able to watch any US Sports event by using nothing but mainstream providers. The need for ALL of the US Sports regional channels means that I need to use IPTV to provide the necessary exposure.

​

2. I often see posts in this sub along the lines of "Why use a reseller when I can just go to the source?". Let me be perfectly clear... I far prefer using an honest, reputable and dedicated reseller. I can already hear you skeptics scoffing that this person doesn't exist, but I wholeheartedly disagree... all of the resellers that I've listed above have gone out of their way to work with me in ensuring that their product suits my needs. They have been stellar in supporting me, working with me on pricing and packages, and just being solid people that I truly enjoy working with. Thank you all!

​

3. YOU CAN HELP ME. Look at my desirements above. Look at what I have. Look at who I've liked (and why). Look at the "Not For Me" list below. Have I missed someone who provides a unique service?

If they are close, but not quite there... perhaps contact your friendly and helpful reseller (see #2) and discuss it with them. You may be amazed at what can be accomplished when you work with your reseller to make things mutually beneficial.

​

5. For those who kept accusing me of never saying bad things about providers, re-read this and eat your words... I simply state the truth (or my current and honest view of it) and really don't worry much about it. It all becomes transparent over time.

​

---- NOT FOR ME ----

​

Providers that have not worked out for me along with reasons why...

​

Eternal, Area51, TNT, GE - all cheap services that work, and in some cases offer reasonable stability... but the picture isn't good (terrible frame rates) to the point that they give me a headache.

​

Twisted - I no longer feel very comfortable with Twisted. Something happened when one of their official resellers (28statemedia) had a bad breakup with Twisted, and they "lost my account". The fact that they made me eat a remaining 5 month sub is inexcusable. I have had some users tell me that this was not Twisted's fault. But I got screwed, nonetheless, and so I sense bad juju there... regardless of who caused the problem.

​

Beams - After last time's writeup, I tried them again since so many people (who I really respect) speak highly of Beams... but I remain unimpressed. It isn't cheap, doesn't have great USA channel selection and has mostly 30fps feeds... but it is stable. Not good enough to remain viable in my provider pool.
