EnTV Premium Review

I've been with this provider from November after testing many others and thought i'd leave an honest review of how it has been so far.

Channels:

They have all premium UK & US channels along with loads of foreign ones. I only watch the UK channels but so far they have been near faultless.

There is great selection of sports channels in SD,HD & FHD.

I've watched a few PPV's on it and never had any issues of buffering or anything.

Support:

One of things that has impressed me the most about this provider is the support you receive when you have any issues or questions. All of my tickets have been answered within half an hour of submitting them.

VOD/Catch Up:

I use the VOD all the time they have thousands of tv shows & movies which get updated regularly.

Catch Up could be doing with more channels being added to it and the option to be able to go as far back as two weeks.

Available Apps:

I use their own EnTVQ app which looks and runs great. They also offer their own STB and Smarters app.

Pricing:

What you would expect to be paying for a reliable service.

I went with the pay monthly option which is £10, there is also a yearly option for £60. They also have multi/triple room connections which will save you a good bit of money if you need more than one connection at a time.

Payment Methods:

Another plus with this service is you can pay by Paypal.

​

Overall i am very happy with the quality of the service i get with these guys and would definitely recommend you give them a go.

Worried about no Helix PayPal? Don't be.

My U.K. Helix sub was up for renewal today. I have used them for the last three months and have been very happy with the service. I think it was last month that they dropped PayPal for reasons that I don't know about and started to use e payouts for credit/debit card payments.

So last month, I was sceptical about renewing but decided to give it a go. If I have this right, the new payment involved buying a token from e payout who then send you a confirmation email with a code. You follow a link in the email, the code automatically populates the fields, payment goes through and you get your month of service.

So on to today. I think this is where I messed it up. THIS IS THE IMPORTANT BIT. I logged into my Helix account and clicked on Payment. I auto filled in my details on my phone and clicked submit. I received a confirmation email from e payouts with a new code, but, I already had a code from last month. I entered last months code and got an error message. No problem, I'll just enter the new code that I just received. Error message. Shit.

So I raised a ticket. Payment sent, not working, yadda yadda yadda. Within ten minutes I received a reply (not going to use any names but, if you are reading this, you know who you are...) asking for proof. I sent three screen shots of my email confirmation and what I had done. Ten minutes after that, I got a resolution. 'I have marked this invoice as paid, please enjoy our service.'

So I now know that e payouts can be a bit ropey but, Helix will see you right. These guys are providing a service and know that customer service is important.

I'll be keeping an eye on my online bank account for any nefarious usage but, I can't fault Helix for the service they provide.

Thanks once again guys!

My New Strategy - Beast + Vader + Nitro

So, first off a little about my goal in purchasing IPTV. I'm NOT LOOKING for the cheapest way to watch TV... I'm willing to spend some money. My goal is to have access to [as close as possible to] perfect streams (50-60Hz / FHD) while getting every US sports event (particularly NCAAB, NCAAF, NFL and Boxing) that can be had. Seriously, last weekend I was watching 14 NCAAB games concurrently (switching back and forth). That's like heaven to me! So with that in mind...

Also, as anyone who spends any time around here knows, I have tried LOTS of IPTV services... expensive and cheap... and written about them here. This is a radical shift in strategy for me (away from the inexpensive services), but I am thrilled with the result.

A quick shout out to my reseller, u/jcast356... he is, without a doubt, the best reseller that I have found. Pleasant, knowledgable, patient, and fair. All qualities that are sorely lacking in this industry.

So onto the services...

Beast TV is currently my first choice. Streams are very stable, high quality (50-60/FHD for most of the sports), and cover everything that a sports nut needs. I've had next to zero problems with PPV, NFL, ESPN, Super Bowl, Golden Globes... basically anything I've wanted. In a month, I've had about two times where I needed to switch to another provider for technical difficulty reasons. If I were only buying one service, then this would be the one. The only reasons that I have other providers are 1) coverage of the 1% technical difficulty times, 2) better catch up (it's there, but not great), 3) better EPG... particularly for sports.

Vader is in the second position in my lineup. Their EPG (particularly Match Center) is spectacular! I wish that everyone would copy their proprietary APK as it just excels. Their streams, while not as consistently stable as Beast, are clear and HQ (50-60/FHD). Their coverage is not as extensive as Beast or Nitro, but tends to cover all of the major sports events. Their catch up is extensive, but the stability is less than stellar... I find myself having to use something else on a regular basis. They have a big VOD section, but I don't use it.

Nitro is my bottom of the list provider, and honestly I'm on the fence with it. Streams are plentiful (every channel I need) and clear (50-60/FHD), but they have more issues than Beast with buffering/stuttering. What makes Nitro a winner is the speed at which they get the catch up channels posted... sometimes in 15 minutes or less! This matters to me. To be fair, my reseller tells me that Nitro is being tweaked and should be much better very soon (and I have seen great improvements over the month). But, with it being the most expensive of the three services, I currently have it earmarked as "on the fence". I just re-upped my sub for another month, and we will see how that plays out.

If Nitro's stability doesn't get closer to perfect, I may drop it and re-subscribe (I just let it drop) to Helix for their catch up. I just haven't been thrilled with Helix and buffering for the last couple of months. But their price is much better than Nitro and their catch up is extensive and quick as well (though not as quick as Nitro). I'm also not happy that you can no longer use PayPal with Helix.

Other services that I have tried and dropped in favor of this current solution include: Helix, Eternal, Area51, TNT, TwistedTV, CrystalClear/XStreamz, GE, Gears/GearsReloaded, FAB, Flawless

Edit: due to confusion, I have replaced all instances of UHD with FHD. It means 1080p/50-60hz.

Miabox review

I've been using miabox service for a while and would like to give my experience so far.

​

Summary:

Overall an excellent service with 2 ips/devices (unlocked) with a really large selection. surprisingly all main channels work great with less than 200ms switching between channels. I swear it is faster than using cable. Support was willing to help at a moments notice and I was surprised that they provided a lot of backup channels during the superbowl which all worked anyway.

​

Channel selection:

Every country you can think off. I mainly care about english channels and they don't disappoint. It also includes almost every USA local channel. Arabic channels is a hit or miss but still very solid offering. It does contain close to a 100 country. It does have an adult section. Here is a complete list: http://channels.miabox.net

​

Features:

This is where they drop the ball a bit. I wish there was a way to filter out channel categories from the gecko to reduce m3u size. VOD is limited but I really don't care about it. It doesn't have catchup (support said it will roll out in 1 month)

​

Price:

Can't complain here. $7 only! At this price it is the cheapest out their.

​

Reliability:

For every main/popular channel; it is blazing fast with almost instant switching between channels. Other channels ranges from 1 second to 10 seconds based on how popular it is. I suspect some kind of caching is happening behind the scene. I never experienced a single drop in connection but some obscure channels don't work.

​

Quality:

Quality ranges from 720 to 1080 and couple of UHD channels. Encoding is high quality I can tell.

​

Support:

Can't be beat it. Always ready to answer at moments notice. I put request for some missing channels and I will test them further in the future.

​

Misc:

EPG is at last very solid and correct for once (compared to almost all other iptv services). I was surprised with how solid the EPG for English channels. Icons do exist for the majority of the channels but I feel it can use higher quality ones. Miabox offers its own apk based on Smarties and it is very reliable. Channel categories is a bit messy and overwhelming but any respectable application can filter those out.

I Was Wrong About Gears Reloaded

I tried a month of the new Gears Reloaded and initially was a bit let down that it was missing some of the stations I usually watch (such as 24/7) but I was wrong and in the past 3 days have come to love it. The picture quality is good, the included guide (Mayfair) is super accurate and nice to use. And above all it's the most stable IPTV I've ever used (and I've tried just about everything). In 3 days I've not had a single disconnect or buffer. It just works. All the other services I've tried have disconnected after sometime (annoying because I like to sleep with the TV on). This service has been running strait for 3 days. I'm going to try Montreal game tonight and UFC and see how it goes and I'll update. BTW for information I'm in Canada and have a Nvidia Shield hardwired to my Fibre connection (500 Mbps up/500 Mbps down).

CoolAsIce.co 2 Week Review

Ok, so I get mine via a reseller who offers a few services so I switch about a lot.

Been using his latest offering for best part of 14 days.

PROS:

As an old fab refugee I’ve been looking for something laid out similar and some have came close (firestarter, beams etc...) but so far this has been near enough identical.

They have Sports Corner which fab use to have which is a great addition and dedicated epl/efl sections.

EPG seems 90% full and the VOD & Series constantly updated.

Channel quality seems great especially if your interested in sports. Most EPL games in 1080/50 from LeSports or 720/50 from NBC. So far they’ve had ifollow each weekend which seems to be added 30mins before games.

Price: £10 a month for full or £7 for Sports Only. Good price for what you get as a main choice or backup imho.

CONS:

US Channel selection: seems they have a few US cats that don’t have anything in, when I raised a ticket and asked was told they will be coming. Still nothing after 7 days tho.

Support: done via their site which is OK but would be nice for Discord or something.

Overall: 8/10 - Great for sports and reasonable price. Be a good back up or main service if sports are your priority.

My Gold.Ca Experience (Don't Waste your money)

I signed up for the IPTV service GoldTV.ca . My main interest was American and Indian channels. Prior to this I used helix for 1 month and their service was nearly flawless. However helix had a limited selection for Indian channels.

​

I switched to GoldTV.ca. I bought a 1 year subscription because they were giving a nice discount (that was a newbie mistake on my part)

​

Most of the Indian channels that I watch are hit or miss. I would say the service is about average for Indian channels. Buffers every few mins.

​

Where goldTV.ca Really drops the ball is on American channels.In the 1 month I have been with the service, key channels like ESPN, TNT and NBA TV or NFL network Disappear from the offered channels for weeks at times. When they do work they tend to be buffer pretty regularly and audio almost never works on ESPN. I mostly watch sports channel and to make matters worse their whole sports section has not been working for the whole last week.

​

I am new to IP TV and was really impressed by helix and thought other services would be similar. I wish I had only done a 1 month trial prior to committing for a year. I guess lesson learned.

​

I hope Helix can start accepting PayPal again so I can go back to them.

Gears Reloaded, so far so good

Just thought I’d share that I’ve tried Gears Reloaded since it’s release and while it’s missing many features it’s pretty great. The picture quality has improved significantly in the last year. I haven’t had a chance to watch any Sports yet where it’s noticeable to be 60fps, like baseball or football. However on Sunday I’ll be testing it out in the super bowl.

Does anyone know if it’s officially 60fps sport streams or not? I’m guessing I should probably keep Smooth Streams as a back up for Sports even though they flopped big time on the Cowboys and Rams game.

Vader Review + Huge shout out to my reseller

Hey All

My first post. I have read tons of posts on here and have tried several services.

My first one I bought was IPTVCanada. Lots of channels, i personally like folder menu (which i know a lot people don't), then I bought into a 1 month sub of Vader.

I know a lot people have mixed comments on Vader. For me, IPTV is just a little side hobby - mainly for watching out of market hockey, so my review is limited.

Vader has very good sports streams with great HD (60fps) streams - mainly in the Matchcenter application.

But I am more so writing a review to say how great my reseller ( IPTV Tek ) is. I don't think you can find someone more helpful and quicker to reply to any question you would have - whether it be for downloading apps, setting them up or troubleshooting IPTV Tek is fantastic. I highly recommend him - especially for any possible newbies out there

Epicstream - one month review

I am a newbie to IPTV and am most interested in Canadian (both French and English), US, French and Irish channels. On Christmas Eve, after browsing r/iptv and learning about various providers and resellers, I decided to sign up for Epicstream via the tdshost reseller.

I chose Epic because of their Canada-centric channel lineup.

THE GOOD:

  • Most of the Canadian channels are offered in HD.

  • The channels are organized well - major broadcast networks are first on the “All Channels” list, followed by basic cable networks. The US and Canadian versions of each channel (such as HGTV or Food Network) are placed side by side, which makes it easy to flip between either feed.

  • The service seemed reliable; only one short outage, about 15 minutes, in the whole month I tried Epic. I didn’t notice any buffering problems except on the French Canadian channels.

  • I barely used VOD or catch up but both seemed adequate (catch up channels were very limited compared to Helix, however).

  • TDS was a very easy reseller to use. They accept PayPal on their website and my Epicstream account was set up immediately upon payment.

THE BAD:

  • Although most Canadian channels are HD, they are 30 FPS so the quality is not great on live sports.

  • US local channel selection is very limited. When I first signed up in December, only Boston network affiliates were available. In early January, Epic added a handful of other cities’ local channels - but still only 69 locals instead of the 400+ that some other services carry.

  • Most of the French Canadian channels either did not work or had terrible buffering (TVA, for example). And Epic does not carry channels from France.

  • The price ($14 US per month) is higher than all the other IPTV services I’ve tried since, and Epic has fewer channels and worse picture quality than the cheaper alternatives.

My overall verdict on Epicstream: “meh.” Not bad but not a standout in any way.

My HELIX experience

The time has come for me to post a review about an IPTV provider. After more than a year of using IPTV and after having tried several IPTV providers I would like to say that I have been subscribed to Helix for five months and, without being perfect, the service I have received from Helix is reasonable. The support is friendly and quick. The channels list is extensive, with predominance of UK and American channels, but the international package has channels from several countries. I watch them for soccer and the coverage the provide is quite extensive: UK channels, Spain channels, Latin American channels. Some of them are better than others in the sense that streaming is more times on than off, and buffering is not a big issue. Some times there is some buffering but it is not impossible. The EPG is reasonable for the UK and US channels. For international sports the EPG is lacking and not reliable when there is one. Some of the Latin American sports channels are not properly identified. For instance there is one Fox Sports channel that is not properly labeled, but I can live with that. I could have sent them a message in that regard, but I did not want to be a pain in the neck. Nothing is perfect, but it has been the best experience so far compared to other IPTV providers. I hope they keep like that and, if possible, to improve in the areas that need improvement.

BeastTV from IP2Box (plus Plex share)

I've only just started to play around with IPTV so as such have little frame of reference. Therefore I'm not going to give any X/10 ratings, instead just make some comments about my experience that might be useful for others.

Beast TV

After a fair bit of reading, it seemed like Beast was a favourite for many at the moment and seeing as it had a great selection of UK channels and sports it had what I wanted. Went through https://my.ip2box.com/ which had a simple checkout process and I received my login details in around 30 minutes, paid $15 for a month.

Running via the Beast APK on an Amazon Firestick 4k the live channels ran much better than I expected. I only checked the UK ones but the quality was decent (couldn't tell the difference on my 50" compared to usual HD TV channels) and while they sometimes take ~5 seconds to load up I never noticed any buffering or sound issues (on a 220Mb line). As for VoD I was disappointed they didn't have anything (currently being rebuilt I believe) so if that's a priority for you then do consider it, however, for me, it wasn't a concern. Overall for my first IPTV experience, it has been working great and looking forward to watching the football tonight!

Plex Share

As Beast came with no VoD I decided to pick up a Plex share also through https://my.ip2box.com/ for $10 for a month. This took a few hours to come through (likely as a bit more setup) and I was blown away by the amount of content and quality. Running through the Plex addon for Kodi (which they recommend using over the Plex APK, why is that?) playback is very smooth and the few times that there has been a small amount of buffering (usually just when I start) a quick pause for a few seconds to give it a head start solves that. Huge selection of films (seems to only do rips, no telesync so nothing of low quality there) and TV shows and everything imported into the Plex addon so they are nicely indexed. Overall very happy with this so far and assuming it stays up and the content keeps being updated I'll likely be using it for a while.

Beams-TV ... 8/10

Currently i have 3 subscriptions with various other IPTV providers and one in particular stands head and shoulders above any that i have tested.

Beams-TV.

Almost on a daily basis there's someone on here looking for a replacement provider because the one they're with is struggling with constant downtime or they have been shutdown. i have found a provider that is as reliable as you can find ( yes they still have issues but who doesn't ) what i like about them is that they don't come across as someone who plasters their service on every forum. They just go about their business

lets first look at their packages ...

you have a choice of 1 Month premium, 3 month, 6 months or 12 i'm not going in the channel list you can view that with the link i post at the end.

one thing that i thought might put me off was the fact they use bitcoin as payment but once i got the hang of this it really became so simple.

they support so many platforms as can be seen here on their support page beams-tv.me

lets look at Picture Quality they've recently increased their 50fps list to include most of the sky sports but that appears to have been taken down and reverted back to HD. BT sports is also great i think thats still on the 50fps but you'd have to ask them but for me its great on my 55 inch tv i'd give it 8/10. i don't like to talk too much about quality as you can always take a 48 hour trial and see for yourself.

I'm not an EPG guy so i can't really comment too much on that side of things but it looks like a lot of work has gone into making it look accurate.

Support they have a Discord channel https://discord.gg/SByNrZK dedicated to support anyone having problems and honestly this is the way forward as you can get an instant response as apposed to waiting for a reply to a support ticket. you can even direct message an Admin who look into your issue straight away. i like that.

Conclusion Its tough to find an IPTV provider you fully trust, we all run the risk when we sign up to them but every now and again you find a gem and i think beams might be one of them. if you're reading this and you think "here we go another affiliate review" i've been part of this community for a while now to not bullshit anyone i'm here to help and lead the horse to water ... you know the rest. i fully believe that when you find one thats good its better to share it with others.

here's a post i made earlier in the year helping others in the IPTV community https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTV/comments/9589lq/new_to_iptv_a_word_of_advice/

One HORRIBLE week with Epic IPTV and I can't get my money back

So, after subscribing with Helix for one month (now I miss them), I thought of looking for a better alternative for sports channels and Arabic ones. I found https://epiciptv.net/ . I paid $25 for a month assuming this will bring me the best quality ever. And my experience is horrible since then.

  1. There is no portal where you can get your credentials or submit tickets. Everything is happening through replying to the first email I got from them.
  2. They use a form by formstack.com and that's it, you can't claim any refund or talk to anyone to escalate.
  3. They don't provide M3U; I'm using Android TV. So, I had to download their APK, get the Mac Address, share it with them, and then they allow me access (this took 24 hours!).
  4. I logged in first time very excited, and then found most of Arabic and Sports channels are not working. I thought there was a problem with my connection, so I tried their VOD, and it was pretty good.
  5. Since then, I've been emailing them asking for a refund and service cancellation, but they keep answering with "send us a video of your problem," I kept recording and sending videos and then nothing.
  6. It takes them 4-5 hours to respond to a ticket which is crazy.

Some US channels have good quality, but I would not pay $25 for them, Helix was way better for $12!

** Update ** I just received the following email from them.

We have reviewed your video and have confirmed that most, except OSN Movie Premier, are all working file on our end. And so once again we do not believe this issue is with us.

A $5 setup fee was charged and so $20 was refunded as your account cannot be sold nor be given to anyone else.

Was pretty solid.

However, they've been having issues for almost a month. 24/7 sucks. Either channels don't work at all or there is no sound. Update was supposed to happen 11th. Took another week and shit is still jacked up.

Stay away for now.

I’m posting this here for future reference. It might help someone not pulling the trigger while ordering their service.

They have the most attractive price. But their iptv service is crap. Channels not working, constant buffering and service outage. Guess you get what you paid for. They advertise 60 day money back guarantee, but that’s not true. They delete every request ticket for a full refund. The support is crap aswell. Stay out of it.

The WINNERS & LOSERS of IPTV providers!

Hey everyone! So I literally spent months testing out a whole host of IPTV providers that claimed to have a focus on USA content as I just couldn't find a provider that had quality streams that lived up to my expectations. In all, I tested 12 different providers and the WINNERS & LOSERS are:

LOSERS:!!!!!

- BuyIPTV: (https://www.buy-iptv.com): Severely lacking in performance. Constant buffering issues and down channels. Large quanitity of channels, but quality is truly lacking. Customer service is also horrible by the way.

​

- BestBuyIPTV: (https://livetvglobal.com/): Slow performance with buffering on nearly every channel. Quantity of channels is great, but quality is truly lacking.

​

- HAY-IPTV (no website; Facebook group): Mediocre service, but still lacking in performance with unreliable service with too many buffering issues, but it was a little better than most the other losers on this list. Quantity of channels is quite large, but does no good since quality is lacking.

​

- VegasMedia (no website; Facebook group): Severely lacking in performance. Constant buffering issues and down channels. Large quantity of channels, but quality is truly lacking. Not sure how anyone would want to even watch-tv with that much buffering.

​

- STV HOSTING/Untouchables/Suicide TV (https://stvhosting.com): Slow performance with buffering on nearly every channel. Quantity of channels is great, but quality is truly lacking.

​

- ScionTV: (no website; Facebook group): Performance was actually quite good but the quantity of channels was just laughable. Was missing a lot of the basics and was also using Magoware midddleware which is definitely not better than xtream codes.

​

- DroidStreams: (no website; Facebook group): I actually had a lot of hope for this one as they made some pretty massive claims of being the most premium iptv service available however, I experienced a lot of buffering issues and a lot of down channels (although they did have backup channels that worked for most the channels that were down, the backup channels should only be used in emergencies, not as a standard).

​

- StargateTV: (no website that i could find; Facebook group): This service is one of the worst I have experienced. They had a huge selection to choose from, but they are riddled with buffering issues and an amazing amount of down channels. You get what you pay for when you only spend $20-$40/year I guess lol. Not sure how anyone would want to even watch tv with that much buffering.

​

WINNERS!!!!!!!

- DreamStreamsTV (https://dreamstreams.tv): Great website with client login. Huge channel list and channels are in HD or FHD. I didn't experience any buffering or down channels and thank god this one didn't have obnoxious app background images like so many others do. The catch-up tv worked great. VOD is in a separate app but with same login info.

​

- GearsTV (https://www.omarsvideos.com/): website has minimal design but with client login, channels in HD or FHD I really didn't experience any buffering or down channels. I did have an issue getting my password and it took them a few hours to get back to me but that wasn't really that bad. The catch-up tv worked great. VOD in same app.

​

- (DISPUTED) VaderStreams (https://vaderstreams.ca): Channels in HD or FHD and I didn't really experience any buffering or down channels. VOD is in the same app. (UPDATE: 1/24/2019 - After seeing so many people have such poor experiences with vaderStreams, I decided I would Just try it again and there wasn't much difference, except this time I noticed they oddly had several popular channels without audio, and channel zapping was just horrible this time. Didn't really experience any notable buffering though, minus the long wait times for channels to load.

​

- NitroTV (https://nitroiptv.org/): Decent website but no client login. All channels in HD or FHD I didn't experience any buffering or down channels, and catch-up tv worked great. VOD not included)

​

Hope this helps anyone else out there who want's to save themself the hassle of having to spend the time and money trying out services to find the ones that work the best.
