A few days ago I tried watching some TV, to find it wouldn't load at all. Messaging support resulted them in telling me "it seems there has been restreaming." With no correspondence past that (despite my asking what restreaming is).

Between the spotty service (streams load then freeze after ~30 seconds), channels always down (Comedy Central to name one), and now this, I recommend staying very far away from EpicStreams

Well, why I am reviewing a provider after just 3 days,

• First with most providers within a couple of hours of testing you can probably realize if they are any good or not,
• Second this is a 25 a month provider and I just tested their trial to see if it is actually justifiable to charge 10 bucks more than almost everyone else. My answer to this question, before you continue reading, is that at least with this provider, yes it is actually a just price (plus the fact that people can actually charge whatever they want as long as someone is willing to pay).

My Setup: 100MB connection, Android Box (2GB/16GB), their own app (NoraGo), also tried their Windows App.

Channel Selection: their site claims over 600 channels but they actually have 405 channels counting their music channels. Their feeds are Sports, Canada, USA and UK, they have 4 Filipino channels, and a few channels in spanish. After 3 days testing this service, it just buffered 2 times in over 12 hours of use (yes 2 times). Non working channels, I just found 7, and over the 3 days it was never the same channel, apparently as soon as they get reported they try to fix them, and for iptv that is quite an impresive feature.

Channel Quality: As I said before this service just buffered for a couple of seconds twice. The app does not states the channel quality, but for what I was able to see, and after running a logcat I think most of their channels are 720p (HD) and also higher quality. (This seems like a pretty well curated playlist).

EPG: on almost all channels, and always accurate.

VOD and Catchup: they have a nice movie selection and the couple that I tried runned ok, and also have a pretty nice tv shows selection (as with must IPTV providers not that much up to date). They have catchup on a lot of channels (loads instantly) but of the six shows I tested half were wrongly named (this is extrange because with catchup it usually happens if the EPG is wrong, and this was not the case).

App: well they use the NoraGo app (first time I use it), so as far as I know there is no way to use your feed on any other app. I personally really like the app responsiveness, every single channel runs, there is no decoder selection of any kind, and you can surf through channels even faster than my cable HD box. The channel loading time after switching is pretty impresive .

Price: well they charge 25 bucks, but you get to install on 4 different devices and use 4 connections. Since most other providers charge for one connection bewteen 10 and 15 bucks, it does not seems pricey as long as you need 4 connections.

My recommendation: I just tested for 3 days, it will be interesting if someone using the service for more time can add to my review. But for what I experinced if you don't like the hassle of choosing the right decoder, are fine with not been able to use your feed with other apps, never watch other channels outside US, UK, Canada and Sports, and you actually are gonna use the 4 connections they offer for the price (for me the most important fact ), then this service is pretty amazing.

Again if some user of the service can tell his experience that will be amazing.

Had been using various IPTV services for the past 2 years and nothing was stable. I watch few News channels and other discovery channel and the likes. But the providers I tried before were choppy with higher downtime.

Then I came across this page r/IPTVReviews and found a few positive reviews about the Helix. so I requested for a 2 day trial. I run on verizon FIOS 100Mbps connection. Currently using Xiaomi Mi box for IPTV, But I also have a nVIDIA Shield as well as MxQ based on S912.

I went in for their custom apk, installed in both Mi Box and MxQ. worked flawlessly for all the channels listed. I didnt go through the gazillion channels available. But whatever I selected worked fine. so I opted for the basic package for 3 months.

I have already completed 2 months of my current subscription. All my channels works flawlessly. At times I have left it running for couple of days, though the TV was off.. the channel was still going good.

Once the current subscription ends, I am planning on going with the Single Helix package, which also provides me the access to worldwide channels.

I recommended this to a friend of mine, after experiencing the service at my home, he went back cancelled his cable service and subscribed for Helix.

Hands down.. the best service I have come across and no issues to complain about.

​

So today was the official day that STV cut off all streams to their lifetime accounts unless you pay him more money. Oddly his service went down today and of course in true fashion Anthony likes to always blames others for his issues. Did he not pay his server bill? Did someone really attack his server, does he deserve to be attacked? Will he continue to talk down to people? Should people continue to pay him after he lied about the service he would be providing? The Drama fest continues.......what say you about these questions

I was told that they would be offering the NoraGo soon @$15-18 and on facebook they had some 2 for one BoGo for $15 with 2 different apps and services so might as well. 1 month in and the negatives are, New provider with no auto pay yet, the free add on service is loaded with content not the most stable but to be honest after bouncing around providers for 3 yrs the WEB apk and service has the best VOD Ive seen and so far most stable and i was surprised when i was actually pushing 4k content with the shield . Its limited on markering and hard to find but. Look forward to NoraGO

I bought a one month sub to check them out, based on a YouTube review. It's been 2 weeks and many emails with NO RESPONSE! I was warned not to trust YouTube IPTV suggestions. I'm glad I learned that lesson on the cheap. I'm only out $5. I have two reliable providers, but I always like to check out others, so I know where to go when my regulars disappear.

Just wanted to warn you guys before considering dealing with them!

I just read about a similar experience.

In short, I paid and the transaction was confirmed. In their account area the invoice appeared as unpaid, so I emailed them asking about that.

They replied asking how I was trying to pay, that the payment method I used is no longer accepted and that I should send screenshots of the paid invoice.

I was going to send a screenshot of my payment, but when I tried to log in, my account no longer exists.

I feel duped.

So I have been using Helix for the past 7 months and this is my attempt to a review.

Past IPTV User Experience: I have tried well over 15 different providers, most of them did last me more than a month and some were not event worth the free trial. My main provider used to be Vaders, and I started with Helix as a backup.

My settings: I mainly use this sub on an android chinese box with 2/16GB, on Perfect Player, and 100MB connection. Just as an additional comment almost every single provider I have tried just needs a 20 MB line as long as there is just one user at a time. Almost no 1080p feed goes beyond 10 MB

Channels: well they have 89 different group for Live TV, and 35 with 24/7's, VOD and Movies (that amounts to well over 10,000 individual channels). To be sincere this is quite a mess to be managed or to find channels if you don't edit your list, I have been using Extreme Editor and that has improved my experience greatly (that will requiere a total different post). If you are planning on loading an M3u this big on Smart IPTV it might not work properly or take a lot of time to load depending on your TV, I have test and tried a lot. My recommendation if you don’t want to spend on Extreme Editor or edit your list manually, load it to Perfect Player, ProgTV or use their native app (IPTV Smarters). For LiveTV I have tried every single group they offer, just encountering more than an acceptable quantity of non working or extremely buffering channels on the Caribbean, Israel and to a lesser extent on the Arab and Africa feeds.

VOD, Movies and 24/7 and CatchUP: I have Plex and Netflix so I don’t use this options very much, in fact I have all but their 2018 movies groups disable on Extreme Editor. But I have tried them a couple of times, and everytime everything has been ok. With CatchUp, they keep adding channels with this option, have just tried exactly 3 times for the sake of it also played well.

Quality: with that many feeds, the have everything, some 1080p, some 720p and some SD channels, all of them have great video quality and great sound quality most of the time. With time and different experiences I have learned that most of the times when a channel does not load, it is because I have the wrong decoder set, I realized that when I started doing trials with VLC and ProgDVB 7 on a laptop.

Buffering: Of course with IPTV this happens and is a major factor when deciding for a provider. With Helix most of the times I have buffering it is on my end (it may sound like free advertisement, but it is true). How come? Once it was my ISP provider that had me hooked up into a saturated node, another time it was a WiFi chip with the wrong configuration (android box), and most of the time it is not buffering but wrong decoder. When there is a problem with their server they announce it on their twitter feed. Even on game day I have not had any mayor buffering problems.

Service: I have contacted them quiet a few times, even once for a double charge (I paid a day before due date, and forgot that I had autopayment set), and every time they have properly answered me within 24 hours. Some answers might be kind of generic, but well that’s even the case with cable service that cost 15 times more.

Price: Cheap for what they offer and for the quality once you set everything up the right way.

I would really recommend to anyone with problems with any IPTV service, try your M3U on a laptop with VLC or ProgDVB, before complaining. Test your ISP line, if you do an ADSL speed test don’t test to your own provider choose a different location. Know the capabilities of your WiFi chip or connect through Ethernet.

8/10 (mostly due to their group organization of the feed, and that it seems to me that they rarely clean not working channels). I would recommend it to anyone, but always try before you buy and see if it fits your needs.

Hope this helps someone decide. I am currently trying TNT as a backup, so far great let’s see how it goes after a couple of months.

I signed up to SmoothStreams in the latest opening window. I didn't know anything about SS, everything is so very secretive, no channel lists, hell even finding how to sign up is a task in itself. But everyone raves about it so must be something in it right?

I signed up via Starhosting. Easy enough however having been around a few IPTV services in my time when you sign up they usually send you details of how to get going, again not with Smoothstreams, you have to figure this all out yourself. All the info is found on a message board which you have to request an invitation for.

Speed is not the aim of the game here with SS, any support tickets, or requests usually take a day for a reply,

So finally got up and running and underwhelmed is an understatement. There are about 150 channels, not all active either, most well 90% are USA, Big focus on sport, all a bit crappy really. No VOD all very basic.

Picture quality is very good but I have had buffering occasionally so its not perfect, will be interesting to see how it fairs out when 3pm Soccer start on Saturday.

Had a test of these over the last few days so here is my review:

##Channels:

They are a UK provider so all the UK channels are there, few US channels.

Sports are 720p 50fps which is nice! Good improvement.

They use one of the better stream providers so I can honesty say 90% of their channels look really good!

Even the SD channels have a decent bit rate!

##Service:

One of the best providers I have used to date in terms of stability, not 1 freeze, buffer or stutter!

##Support:

I didn't have to directly contact their support but they have 2 FB groups, 1 has an odd cover up name, if you find it you'll know what I mean.

But messages were responded to quickly.

##Extra / VOD / Catchup:

Only catch up on BBC 1, no other channels are covered which is a negative for me.

Unsure if they provide PPV, normally you would see a section for this even if nothing was on but I could not see it.

No adult, no 247.

VOD is ok, nothing crazy but its something.

##Price / Value:

1 Month: £14

6 Months: £35

1 Year: £55

I would say for the quality of the streams and just as a normal UK TV provider its a decent option.

No multi room discount.

Been testing these over the last few days and here are my thoughts:

##Channels:

More or less everything you would need from an international provider, all UK, Ireland, US, CA, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Poland.... the list keeps going, overkill for my needs, I tend to stick to English only mainly.

From the UK & US side of things I didn't find 1 dead channel, out of the international there were a few but that's understandable from the amount of selection.

On the UK side of things very impressed, most streams have at least 1 back up!

BT Sports 1 I counted 7!!! Including 1080p @ 50 fps

My only comment would be depending on how you view their service you might find backups 1 or 2 pages away from the main channel, so this could do with a little tiding up on their part.

##Service:

Setup: magbox via lan 50mb down

I can honesty say from the constant viewing over the time period I did not experience 1 freeze or buffer! Which makes the service on par or even better than few of the top providers.

##Support:

Via email was good, everything answered within good time.

##Extra / VOD / Catchup:

Catchup is good, all the main channels are covered including movies!

I did have issues with the VOD server for the first 24 hours or so, sent them an email and it was fixed quickly, plenty there to keep you entertained.

247 Channels are good, including 247 movie channels which is a nice extra.

##Price / Value:

1 Month: £8

3 Month: £15

6 Month: £25

12 Month: £40

Good price for this service which I would recommend at this time.

My only issue would be if you wanted multi room option they price themselves out as you don't get much of a discount on extra connections!

Would love to see a UK only option!

Been testing these and this is my review:

##Channels: Good amount of channels, all my usual ones I watch were present, I only found 1 channel that didn't work and 1 other with a audio issue, other than that it all good, few of my main channels were SD only, though other suppliers have HD feeds so that was a slight negative.

Good amount of FHD overall, most HD channels were actual HD, and I even found some SD feeds to be HD.

##Service: My setup's: magbox (via lan) 50mb down, 20mb up.

Overall I experienced more or less 0 freezing or buffering when I was testing so top job!

Another thing I noticed which was good was some kind of auto switching of feeds on channels that did stutter once or so, good job!

##Support: Was pretty quick through message or email, seemed clued up on how to run things and offer tech support.

##Extra / VOD / Catchup:

Catchup is slightly lacking, only a few channels covered, but of the channels covered seek time was good!

VOD is good, plenty there.

24/7 Channels so all good there.

##Price / Value: The price is on par with a worthwhile service, not low end or top end.

1 Month: £11

3 Months: £25

6 Months: £35

1 Year: £50

They accept paypal which is always a bonus.

I had slight issues with their website and cart when browsing on a mobile device.

When it works it’s great works about 60 percent of the time. My support ticket from today, Hello I have been experiencing severe buffering, channel closings and stream errors for the last 4 days. Generally the service works well about 70 percent of the time. I would pay twice what I currently pay if it worked 85 percent of the time. I have this problems across multiple devices, hardwired and wifi, through a router and direct connection to modem. I’ve attempted using your Kodi app, using simple player, perfect player and your web based browser. I’ve had my isp out twice, the connection is fine. Have you oversold your service or are you cutting down on expenses with your available servers? I assure you people such as myself will simply move to a more reliable service as that is the nature of IPTV. Thanks very much,

Their response was to try vlc, which I have, or reboot modem. When I have contacted support they are very polite and respond very quickly. The problem with this is the responses are generic pre composed responses to basic questions and don’t specifically address your particular issue. Hope this is helpful.

So I've been testing these guys for a while now and here are my thoughts:

##Channels:

Mainly UK channels, all the usual plus a few random extras, all SD with a a bunch of "FHD" but I found that around half of the FHD were not actually anywhere near FHD and usually just SD but for the price which I will get into down below wasn't a big issue, some of the channels had incorrect names for the steam being shown but again not a big issue, bit of tiding up could be done to keep everything uniform.

No 50 fps channels when writing this review.

##Service: My setup's: magbox (via lan), GSE IOS, web player & vlc m3u, 50mb down, 20mb up.

Overall I experienced a channel freeze around 50% of the time during an evening of TV, now this wouldn't be constant but still noticeable, I had better performance on the real FHD channels than the SD so my guess would be down to the feed provider for these channels.

There were some issues with the last PPV fight for the first part my guess server overload, again for the price nothing major.

##Support:

They only let you report issues by logging a ticket on their website which can be a pain, tickets are picked up usually within the hour which is good, the usual response is no one else has reported issues so it must be you..... or reboot your router..... but for the most part it gets resolved, may take a little time.

##Extra / VOD / Catchup:

Catchup is brilliant, the best I've seen, nearly every channel is covered and with fast seek times so top job on this!

VOD is good, plenty there to keep you going, VOD should not be something you should be looking for when picking a IPTV supplier, its just an extra.

24/7 Channels brought in last week so all good there.

##Price / Value:

The price is good for what you get! Decent backup provider I would say, they just need to sort out a few kinks in the road and they would be a main provider for me.

They accept paypal as well.

##Update: They have recently changed servers and performance is hit and miss right now, lots more new channels including 50fps will write a 2nd review soon.

I have had Beast now for 3 weeks. Here is my review. If I missed anything, please let me know.

Price: $15

Reseller: /u/iptvking

Main Use: Sports and 24/7

Internet speed: 100/10mbit

Connection type: Hardwired and WiFi

Devices used on: iPhone X, iPad, and ATV 4 and 4K.

I used to only have Vaders but recently started looking into having a backup. I came across Beast through /u/iptvking and got a trial. After the trial, I purchased a month. It has now become my main and Vaders is my backup. I use IPTV mainly for sports and since using Beast, 24/7 as well. I have put it through some UFC PPV, nightly basketball and weekly football with minor issues. They have 4 or 5 feeds for the main card of UFC and all were bad for few minutes. After mentioning in their telegram room, they fixed it and it was flawless. Everyone that was watching thought it was PPV and not through IPTV. For most other sports events, there are at least 2 feeds. Some times 3. I really like this as if one goes down or is wrong, you got other selections. They quality of the feeds are always HD. I don't see what FPS they are, but the sport channels I watch never have any blockyness, so Im guessing 720p/60fps.

Their 24/7 has a huge selection. Too many to list, but the ones I've checked (Peppa pig, Friends, King of Queens) have all been great quality and work. They also have a large movie database and PPV movie channels, kind of like what DirecTV has, where it just loops same movie over and over. I click on them from time to time for background noise and had minor issues where a scene might repeat.

I love that they give multiple connections. My DTVN only has 2 and when friends or family are over, I need more connections. This offers 3 from same IP. I've only used 2 at once and didn't have any issues.

My reseller has his own general telegram room for all his clients, but Beast also has their own and a status update room. Their support is great and fast. Just follow their rules and don't be rude. You're paying $15 a month and getting better service than what you pay a real service for. Just because it's illegal, doesn't mean you can be dicks to them. There was a major fiber cut last night and they kept everyone updated and tried their best to get service restored as quickly as possible.

Overall, I rate these guys a 9/10. Again, I don't use them for day to day watching TV, only sports and 24/7 mainly. If you only could have 1, I would choose Beast. If they keep this service up, I might just drop Vaders as my backup.

Trying to watch the Arsenal/Wolves game and the stream (Bein 9 i think) down after like 15 minutes. The streams always seem to die. Thats what happens when you have 1k streams. Just stream the live sports!

So For Awhile this guy running STV was selling lifetime subscriptions to his service for about 40 bucks. and so many times you would read comments asking if there would be fees on top of that and the guy running it said "no its a one time fee". In the last couple months on his facebook page you can see this guy spiraling out of control with pissy posts and threats , and now hes gone back on his word and is shutting people off if they don't pay a monthly fee on top of the lifetime fee they had paid(#Scam Artist).Anyone questioning this gets what looks to be blocked(greyed out ) on his feed or he shuts off comments. Personally this is a big warning sign that you should avoid this service. I've watched some of these other services like GOODFELLAS, ETERNAL, VADERS treat their customers poorly and even if the fee is on the low end if people allow that to happen they will only be encouraged to tx people like crap even more ...... What do you guys think?

K Streams Review

​

Ok, so I have been using a service called KStreams and they have been worth note, so I figured id share for people who are looking for another service to try.

​

Price: 10 dollars a month--- to me this is key. You shouldn't pay through the nose for a service and at 10 bucks, its pretty darn good. 10/10

Website: 7*/10-* website is kinda busy, but overall every easy to use. All of the information is there and overall its pretty standard to other sites.

Channels: 9*/10* - This guy has a fantastic lineup. Now I will say I haven't done much with the internationals, but the US, CAN and UK lineups are solid. Even has some randoms, has all of the regional channels, might even have your local network affiliates which is pretty cool. Has west and east feeds of most channels as well which is very convenient. Sports lineup is dope. Has all the NFL games, been watching since week 1 and have been very happy. Also has these mixup ones where he has 4 going at once, kinda nice to watch that when your team isnt playing. But yeah great channel lineup. A fantastic 24/7 lineup, better than fabs was honestly. And if you request a 24/7 feed he will add it, i got him to add the nanny for the wife and he did it! and it looks fantastic.

Picture Quality: 9/10 – Ok, this is a place where he shines in my opinion. Most of the channels he has are Vue channel rips. And they are ridiculously good quality. My first thought when i got in was its like vue but only paying 10 bucks a month and getting all the HBO, SHOWTIME, etc. Now what vue doesnt have it supplemented from other sources, the norms from what it seems, but honestly the bitrate seems better. I have considerably less issues with buffering and tearing then i have with epic, vaders, and eternal. And at 10 bucks, its really a great deal.

VOD: ? I saw there is one, but haven't really played with it, looks pretty standard. Clicked on a few things just for this review and quality seemed standard, and really the quality was nice overall.

Reliability: 10*/10* – This past two months, i have never had downtime. Reminds me of ipguys but better quality. Like loads better. I have had some buffering on occasion, but im attributing it to my cache, because when i go out and back in it almost never happens again. Then again, i am fairly lenient on this because i have been around the block with providers and i have tried several so i tend to judge with a grain of salt when it comes to buffering. Just sayin. Big events played fine. Watched two major UFC fights and didn't have an issue once. Looked fantastic.

EPG: 7/10 – Overall this is pretty good, not great but by no means not the worst ive had. Sometimes is not perfect but hey most arent. Overall pretty speedy and decent.

Set-Up: 10/10. Guy is quick. Had me up and running within 15 min. And actually had a decent tutorial included in the email, didnt need it but my mom loved it.

Support: 8/10 Now i dont know how he handles tickets honestly, but i havent really had any issues that needed a ticket. He is very active in his discord and has always been helpful there.

Overall, right now honestly he is my go to provider. quality is there, bitrate is higher than anyone else im using right now, and really nice channel lineup. Price is fantastic, at 10 bucks im really happy. They are definitely worth a shot, if your looking. They do trials, just wanted to give them a review since i hadnt seen one for them.

​

I would like to start off and say I only found out about this service yesterday and have nothing to do with them. The service is excellent some of the best quality I’ve seen for awhile. A lot of 50 FPS streams even bt sports are 50 FPS. Great channels selection and also fast channel switching. Would highly recommend the service not many better at the moment
