Mano's Express Review

Hello again! I'm sure you are all getting sick of my daily reviews of services but I committed to doing it, so screw you all!! I'm gonna keep going!

Sorry...been a long day! ;p

Anyways, for those who haven't read my other 3 reviews, this is the fourth in a series reviewing all the services I have tried over the past several weeks. I had said in the other reviews that I tried 6 services, but I was wrong...I forgot one, its actually 7 services since March 1st. Every service was tried for a full 30 days, although the next few reviews might come before I get to that point with those services. I am using a Dreamlink T1 for all testing. Here is the links to the other reviews if you are interested:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTVReviews/comments/642g8w/manos_epicstreams_review/

Today I am going to focus on a service that I actually forgot I had even tested!! Haha. IPTVExpress, or what is commonly called just Express around here, is the very first service I signed up for on a full 30 day trial. After reading alot of reviews on reddit and other sites, it seemed to be the go to server for high quality feeds. Maybe not quite as stable as IPGuys, but much better quality, so I went with it.

Now, forgive me if some of my information gets a bit wonky as its been about 2 weeks since my sub with Express expired and its been at least 3 weeks since I spent any time actually using it.

First things first...channel selection is ridiculous! Like Crown and Voodoo before it, Express is a massive provider with more channels than most people would ever know what to do with. Again, another service that provides a large selection of 24/7 channels that play tv shows and movies/movie series in a 24 hour marathon style loop. They also carry a significant number of international channels to go along with every English channel you can think of.

Picture quality is the best of the big three that I have tried (Express, Crown, Voodoo). Almost every channel feels like its in at least true 720p HD quality. Again, I am watching on a 65" HD TV, so picture quality is important to me. Very rarely did I feel let down by the quality of the feed with Express.

Where Express did let me down, and the reason I won't be renewing with them any time soon, was with their EPG. I've said it in every review, with a wife that hates change and gets annoyed easily, and a teenager with the attention span of a gnat, a quality, accurate, well populated EPG is integral for a provider's success in the Mano household! Express failed miserably in that regard in my opinion. Thousands of channels and not even 200 of them had any info populated on the EPG. Like Crown and Epic, I spent the time to scroll through the entire channel lineup of English channels and write down every channel that populated information so I could make a favourites list. It was a short list compared to a service like Epic that has about 600 channels and almost half of them populate. I believe, if memory serves, the number was about 186 English channels with info, and not all of those were accurate, although most seemed to be. Its frustrating, honestly, because I really don't have anything else bad to say about this service.

Stability was excellent for the most part. Sure, the odd time it would buffer, but overall extremely stable. In the 3 weeks or so that I used it I can only remember it going down completely once, and that was for almost a full day early in March. I remember there being some posts here on Reddit about it too because it was a pretty rare occurrence.

One thing I will say about these bigger services, like Express, Crown, Voodoo and, I will assume, IPGuys, is that there is virtually no customer support. These are faceless names in the IPTV industry and to my knowledge the resellers of these services don't have any direct lines of communication with them. If the service goes down, you won't get an explanation. If you are having trouble getting set up, you better hope your reseller is a nice guy. If you have a channel buffering, nobody is going to hold your hand and tell you its gonna be alright. If that's the kind of experience you are looking for, these services aren't for you. You need to hook up with somebody like /u/fr0-z3n and check out Epicstreams, or /u/fabiptv about Fab. These guys have direct lines of communication to the provider (or are the provider).

Overall, if what you are looking for is a full package of channels in high quality, stable feeds and are willing to sacrifice a poor level of EPG support, and general support, to get it, this is your service! The reality is that not having any true customer support isn't as important for Express because not much goes wrong with the service. Mostly, it works just the way its supposed to work.

Again, feel free to ask question if you have any about this service. I'm sure I left some stuff out of this review because they were out of mind for a couple of weeks. Should have done this one first a couple of weeks ago.

FabIPTV trial review

I ran the free trial today to mainly watch the EPL and I'm very impressed:

I used stbemu for the first time on my FTV and it was very smooth, channel changes were instant and the quality was great.
Sign up was very fast and straight forward
The FB group is fantastic and posts are answered very quickly
The program categories make complete sense to me and make it very easy to navigate
The epg is very accurate
Catchup is a great addition, especially on the sports side of things

Whilst I was watching I never had any freezes, glitches or buffering. There were a couple of issues with channels but these were quickly sorted through the FB group. I have tried other providers and have always suffered from minor issues but FabIPTV has definitely been the best.

Be good to know how long these prices are going to last?

Mano's Voodoo Review

Well, time for another review, whether anybody wants it or not! Haha

Again, for those not familiar with my previous reviews, I have been at this hobby for roughly 6 weeks and have tested 6 different services so far on 30 day subscriptions. I am watching on a Dreamlink T1 and I am reviewing all 6 services over the next few days. Here are the links to my previous reviews:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTVReviews/comments/64755w/manos_crowntv_review/

https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTVReviews/comments/642g8w/manos_epicstreams_review/

Today is Voodoo day!

Now, I'll be honest, I might not have even tried Voodoo if it hadn't been for a deal put on by /r/iptvgta in conjunction with /u/fr0-z3n of Epicstreams, that combined Voodoo and Epic into one great deal for $22/CDN. I had felt like Voodoo was similar in many ways to Crown and since I already had Crown, Voodoo wasn't a priority. However, I'm glad I tried it.

First of all, its another service that has just a ridiculous amount of channels! US, UK, European and just about anything you can think of, its there. They also, like Crown, have a significant number of channels dedicated to specific TV shows and movies/movie series. As well, they have a selection of channels that play new release movies...what used to be PPV movies on satellite/cable systems. With VOD, I'm not really sure why this is a necessity, but I admit to enjoying putting a good movie on that I have seen before as background noise when working around the house.

Video quality is, again like Crown, a bit of a mixed bag. In all, I would say that Voodoo is a bit higher quality in this regard. Most channels I watched were HQ, if not actually HD feeds. Most movie channels were very close to HD quality.

However, Voodoo was less reliable than Crown, in more ways than one. I found there was a lot of buffering. Sometimes you could watch a channel for an hour or so before the buffering would start, but it was inevitable for me. I rarely got through a two hour movie without some buffering. Strangely, the PPV movie section was about the most stable. We watched Moana on a loop several times with no issues, however most other channels, including the standard movie channels like HBO, Sky, etc, were plagued with regular buffering. Sometimes the buffering was liveable...meaning it would only happen a couple of times...and other times it made it unwatchable. Having said this, I think one of the problems with testing so many services at the same time is that I had far less patience. When buffering starts, I often just switched to another service and many times over the 30 days, I had to force myself to go back to Voodoo to keep testing it. I was never truly happy with it. However, I wouldn't want to condemn Voodoo completely and say that it was always that way since I am not sure I gave it enough time over those 30 days to redeem itself.

Another reason, though, for my dissatisfaction and reluctance to keep trying it, was the EPG. As I have said in my other reviews, an accurate and well populated EPG is important to me and my family for my personal sanity. While Voodoo has many more channels populated than virtually any service I have tested, its hit or miss as to whether the info provided is accurate! I'm not sure what is more frustrating, seeing the dreaded "No Information" displayed or seeing a movie or show displayed as being on only to find something completely different on that channel. With Voodoo it was always a mystery. I can tell you, my wife doesn't like mysteries! I never bothered to make a list of English channels with EPG info like I did with Crown and Epic because I felt like it was pointless with how many channels were not accurate, so I don't really know exactly how many channels have listings.

Don't get me wrong, Voodoo isn't all bad. The VOD selection is huge. The channel selection is incredible. Perhaps for some people, the stability will be better. For the price, the value could be there for some people, especially those looking for international channels...although I would encourage those people to check out Crown over Voodoo.

Overall, its not a service that I plan to use again. I am glad I tried it, but of the 6 services I have tried, it was my least favourite.

Please, as always, feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

nfps's "new" iptv service, I have been an off and on user of theirs for quite a few years, but since iks is dying off I guess this was the next step to survive. The service has an awesome channel list,so no matter where you are located they offer programming,lol, the price is about the same as most iptv providers these days and all (99%) in 1080p,they do not offer free trials ,but the iptv service works for ALL you can imagine-it's worth a look see! I would rate it 7.5 out of ten-

Mano's CrownTV Review

Well, for those that haven't read my Epic review, I'll give a minor breakdown of my experience. I got into this hobby at the end of February. I briefly toyed with Kodi for IPTV, but quickly learned that a dedicated box was the way to go. I bought my Dreamlink T1 in early March and haven't looked back. Since then, I have tested 6 different services for at least 30 days and I am reviewing them one at time. Here's the link to my Epicstreams review:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTVReviews/comments/642g8w/manos_epicstreams_review/

Today I'm going to talk about CrownTV.

Crown was one of the first services I tried and when I first started with it I was very excited because I noticed that the network stations (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox) were from Detroit, which is local for me in southwestern Ontario. They also had the standard New York networks as well. The only problem was the video quality on the Detroit channels was far from HD, but still exciting.

As for overall channel selection, anybody would be hard pressed to find a service that offers a better selection of channels. If you can think of it, Crown probably has it. Aside from all of the standard English and international channels, they also carry a significant number of 24/7 channels. These have different movies and TV series in a 24/7 loop. If your a fan of Big Bang Theory, for example, there is a channel that just plays episodes of that channel in a loop. If you like the Batman movies, you can watch them all in sequence over and over again. Pretty cool feature.

Video quality is a bit of a mixed bag on Crown. Like I said, the network stations were lower quality...New York versions were better than the Detroit versions. Movie channels and many other entertainment channels were high quality feeds. All the PPV/24/7 channels seemed to be in HD or close to it. Buffering was not a significant issue although it wasn't non-existent either. Of the services I tried, it was less stable than Express, but more stable than some of the smaller services.

Next, the EPG. As you know from my last review, the EPG is a big deal for me. With a wife and kid who are annoyed easily and, therefore annoy me when things don't work seemlessly, an accurate and well populated EPG is very important to me. Crown is certainly not great in this department. Maybe its because there are SO many channels? Once again, I spent the time to go through all the English channels and record a favourites list with just the channels that populated information on the EPG. I got about 240 channels, but that included all the 24/7 channels which don't actually show what's on at any given time, just that its the "Big Bang Theory Channel" on the left of the EPG. All total, there was probably about 180-190 english channels with info. Not bad, but not great for a service this big.

Overall, when I first subbed with Crown it was a favourite. I enjoyed the stability and the local stations. I really liked the PPV movies and 24/7 channels. However, as I tried more and more services, Crown fell down the list. Better picture quality and more fully populated EPGs can be had with other services, like Epic, Flawless and Fab, that offer close to the same stability.

Would I recommend Crown? Absolutely, for the right person. For someone looking for lots of international content, VOD, movie channels, etc, its an excellent service, especially if the EPG isn't that important to you.

Feel free to ask any questions if I didn't cover something of interest to someone. I'll try to respond within a day or so.

Reustv.net - early review

I posted some opinions on this in /r/iptvgta but thought I'd do up a better review.

Not new to iptv and have tried a number of services from voodoo, express, crown, ipguys, iks66 etc.

The executive summary is avoid or be cautious with this provider. My criteria is good quality English channels and nothing else. I don't care much for sports or non English channels so this provider seemed like a good fit on paper. I wanted to avoid the bloated providers ie see above this time.

I'll jump straight into the pros and cons.

Pros: Good English channel lineup, I compare it to peace country but better as they have more entertainment, kids and news. PC was great (trial) but just lacked a few key channels for me.

Good grouping.

HD channels are very good quality.

Epg mostly complete with channel logos for most.

They have a website and ordering process.

Not too expensive if you buy 3 mts or more

Cons:

They only take credit card payments and on a totally unsecure page which for many will be a red flag. Used a low limit CC.

Biggest con is they have zero support. Absolutely nothing. No response to emails, website forms, no subreddit, no fbook page. You're on your own.

Their channel uptime is 80% - not a scientific measure just my observation

Their service went down for the entire day yesterday and again no notice, no responses to emails.

Draw your own conclusions but treat this with caution at the very least.

All testing was done on a shield running spmc and their m3u or kodi plugin.

FAB iptv update

A couple of days ago I wrote a review of FAB iptv and expressed concerns over the quality of the North American channels. I am pleased to say that the North American channels are now working great. Whatever work they did on their server definitely did the trick.

Stay away from ipsatpro.net

I ordered the 3 Month package (€40) last Friday (31.03).
Got the payment confirmation by email immediately.

Then... Nothing.

So I sent an email. This is what happened:

02.04. My inquiry about the order status
03.04. ipsatpro.net request for payment receipt
03.04. I sent the receipt
04.04. I sent a clarification (I sent the emails from a different account than the order email)
05.04. ipsatpro.net asks if I use m3u or STB
05.04. I reply that I use m3u
06.04. I ask about the status 06.04. ipsatpro.net asks again for payment proof 06.04. I send the receipt again

And that's it. I will cancel my payment on monday.

Either it's a fraud or they have the worst support ever.

Anyway... Stay away from ipsatpro.net

Epicstream Review

I have been testing out IPTV services the past few weeks and recently decided to give Epicstream a go. While I've only been on a couple of weeks, the experience as been wonderful. I was looking for a replacement for my cable card so I wanted a good mix of English channels- Sports, Kids, Movies. Epicstream provides a great selection of these (and many more).

I mainly use Kodi and I have multiple devices that I have it installed in. This was another important feature for me- I wanted to be able to configure multiple devices to stream (though never at the same time). I was able to do this easily. I also own a couple of Roku devices and was able to get them configured as well usuing the IPTV m3u Player which was a nice bonus (not sure if officially supported).

The signup/setup process was very simple, the support has been great. There is a very active support community and it was was nice to see the mods prompt responses when a concern or question was raised. /u/fr0-z3n is very active on Reddit as well.

My streaming experience has been good and the video quality has been excellent. I sort of expected to have some less known channels be unreliable, as that has been my eperience in the past, but I was pleasantly suprised. There has only been an issue once that was reported and being research before I even noticed it. The episode guide has been great which is important because I need less technically savvy users to be able to navigate it. Overall I am very satisfied with the service and think that it's a great value.

Mano's Epicstreams Review

I feel like its about time I start reviewing the services that I have been trying for the past few weeks. I got into this "hobby" towards the end of February with an eye towards saving a little money. Of course, my personality is such that I have to research everything beyond what most people do, so I have subscribed to 6 different services for a full month at various times over the past 6 weeks...so not saving much money! Haha!

I am watching these services on a Dreamlink T1 through their DOL app almost exclusively, although I have tinkered with Kodi a couple of times as well.

All that said, I plan to review all 6 providers over the next week or two to hopefully help some people out. I am starting with Epicstreams, handled on reddit by /u/fr0-z3n very ably. In fact, that might be one of the best parts of this service, the excellent customer service provided through reddit, facebook and email. Signing up was as easy as sending him an email, paying through paypal and entering the provided URL into the T1. I'm sure its a bit more complicated for the Kodi users, but on an STB like the T1 or MAG, its easy.

I have used Epic for almost exactly a month now and I can honestly say its among the most stable that I have tested. Crown and Express were possibly a bit more stable as Epic went through some server maintenance that caused a couple of outages over the month. Nothing terrible, especially for a guy with 3 or 4 other services available to him!

One thing that is very important to me as a married, 42 year old who is pretty tech savvy but has a wife that isn't, was a solid EPG and good stability. While there are plenty of the 600+ channels that Epic provides that don't have EPG info populated, there were over 200 english channels that did, and that was plenty for us. Compared to some other services, its more than adequate.

We are more into the movies and TV shows than sports at this time of year, and Epic offers alot of good options for us. They have UK channels, which is nice for my wife and her British heritage. They focus primarily, though, on the US/Canadian channels and they are plentiful, with good EPG support and excellent quality.

Maybe the best thing about Epic is the video quality. It seems like every channel is in HD quality. I watch on a 65" TV and never does it feel like I'm watching an SD feed. Aside from the maintenance outages, the channels are consistently there and stable. I've had maybe two evening of serious buffering over the 30 days.

If I had to rate some negatives from the service, it would be the incomplete EPG and the order of the channels. Having the English channels grouped together better would be a great help and having more info available for the EPG on some of those channels would make the experience almost perfect.

Epic has been my most reliable service over the past 3 weeks. When the other services go down, I switch back to Epic. When my EPG mysteriously disappears on another service, I switch over to Epic and its just like it was the last time. Very consistent.

For anybody looking for high quality video feeds with excellent customer support and a more than adequate EPG and channel selection, you can't go wrong with the value of Epicstreams.

Feel free to ask any questions about the service and I will try to answer them.

Epicstream review

Signup was quick and efficient.

The channel selection is fine. There are all of the English channels that I would want, both North American and U.K.

The Facebook group is fairly active, and the administrators definitely pay attention to feedback.

Picture quality is very good. No complaints at all. I had no problems with buffering, although I have not yet tried to watch TV during big demand sports events. But so far I am impressed with the steadiness of the streams.

My only gripe is the Kodi integration. There is no stand alone add-on. There is only PVR integration through Kodi's PVR function. This means that (without some significant technical knowledge), you can't group channels. To make matters worse, there is no logic at all to the ordering of the channels. With about 250 English channels, you have to scroll blindly hoping to stumble upon the channel you want to watch.

I'm conflicted. While I am very impressed with the service itself, I doubt that I will renew until they do better with Kodi integration. Hopefully they will get that figured out.

Peace Country IPTV review

So, I'm pretty new to IPTV and a mom to two under two so this will be short and sweet.

Channel selection is top notch, my husband is overjoyed with all the sports offerings. Channel groupings make sense, and it's very easy to find what you're after despite so many options.

Video quality is great, this was especially important for hubby and his aforementioned sports programming.

Haven't had downtime since I signed up a week or so ago.

Customer service is above and beyond what is expected. Even though I've had Android boxes for a while this was my first foray into IPTV and /u/maniac1000 took my step by step through getting everything up and running. His subreddit is also very active in terms of responding to questions and issues.

I trialed two other services and this is the one I'll be sticking with. I'd give it a go if you are shopping around :)

FAB IPTV review

I took the plunge and signed up for Fab IPTV. I have only had the service for a couple of days, so be advised that this is very much a preliminary review.

Signup was easy and I was up and running within mere minutes. The one question I had was answered very promptly. The price is a very reasonable 7.50 pounds, with discounts for longer term subscriptions.

The channels are organized in several sub-folders. While I like the concept, I feel like it was taken a little too far. The US Documentary folder, for example, has just a couple of channels including the Discovery Network. This folder really should have been folded into the Entertainment folder. Likewise, there should be just one UK Sports folder.

Video on demand is definitely in its infancy, but that's not really a concern for me. I see VOD as a bonus, and not an expectation.

Picture quality is generally excellent. There are plenty of high-def channels, including sports channels. And high-def really looks like high-def. I was very impressed.

As for reliability, it is a mixed bag. I have no complaints with the UK channels. Every once in a while I may have a hiccup for buffering, but these are very rare and about as good as one can expect for IPTV.

The United States and Canada channels are a different story. They are much less consistent. The quality seems to vary based on the uploader and/or source. ABC and CBC were just plain unwatchable. NBC and CBS had good times and bad times. The news channels worked very well, except that Fox News disappeared early in the morning. On the other hand, the NHL feeds were fantastic. Hockey is a bandwidth hog, and the picture stayed rock steady. Baseball was also very good, except that not all games were offered.

A great bonus with FAB TV is their web interface. If I am on the road, I can watch TV over my iPad or laptop. I am really impressed with how well it works. I also like that you are paying per active stream and not per device. This allows me to have two devices using the service as long as I don't stream to both devices at the same time. Extra streams can be had for a very reasonable 5 pounds per stream.

Will I stay with Fab IPTV? There is a lot to like, but until they get more reliable streams for the North American channels, I am reluctant to keep my subscription.

My only other point of comparison is Dexter TV. When FAB is good, it's better than Dexter. But when it's bad it is worse. Dexter isn't perfect by any means, but it is more consistent. Hopefully FAB gets the couple of wrinkles figured out. If they do, they are going to be a heck of an offering. I'd even be willing to pay a couple of pounds more per month to help them get to a better level of consistency.

EDIT: I was incorrect about multi-month pricing discounts. It looks like there is only monthly service for sale.

EDIT #2: The server work for North American channels appears to have made a big difference.

Direct IPTV / mancaveiptv.biz

I can't speak for how well the service may integrate with Kodi, as I used (and spent a lot of time configuring) mythtv for the service. I can't imagine it would be all that well as I saw no evidence of guide data being provided.

I paid for a 1 year sub from a reseller I had already worked with through another (Euro based) provider. I've been using it for about 2 months now.

The streams are hit and miss. There are some HD streams, but more SD. From what I've seen on temporarily down channels it's a mix of DirecTV and Dish feeds. The live streams have real trouble with the MythTV playback, though usually recordings go ok (maybe 2/3 of the time there aren't major problems somewhere in the stream). Based on the channel lineup I'd be willing to accept the mediocre service.

HOWEVER. Somewhere about a month after my sub began my credentials no longer worked. I contacted my reseller and (s)he provided me with new credentials. I wondered if my reseller was simply buying the service a month at a time--still not sure. However, it turned out (after some investigating) that my home IP had been banned. I had to sign up for VPN service to get it going again. I notified my reseller and (s)he stated that I had not been banned.

About a week later I couldn't connect again. After blowing it off for a couple of weeks since I was busy and then on vacation, I once more got a fresh set of credentials from my reseller and once again investigated to find that I had been IP banned from the set of VPN servers I was connecting through. This time the reseller tells me that I can only have 1 connection at a time and I can't restream. ToS information that would have been helpful from the start. I had just that weekend adjusted my mythtv backend to have 3 recorders, and there may have been a tiny period of time where 2 had been running concurrently. OK, maybe that was a valid-ish ban.

On to a new set of VPN servers and everything is peachy again . . . for about a week. Today I find my login credentials are once more invalid. Literally while I'm writing an email to the reseller (and stating 'at least I'm not IP banned this time') I leave VLC running in the background trying to connect to the streams on the m3u playlist. Whattaya know, after I shut it down and re-ping the server my packets are being dropped. An IP ban for letting VLC run through the playlist in it's default behavior. I have fired off a rather grumpy email to my reseller and reached out to Direct IPTV via facebook messenger (marked as read an hour ago - no response).

I'm willing to walk away from my year sub just to get with a provider that isn't absolute crap. Avoid these guys.

Another Peace Country IPTV Review

Hello guys, this is my second month as an IPTV viewer, and first as a Peace Country subscriber( I subscribed to it just 8 days ago! )

I used IPTVSubs.is for awhile, I liked it, but it wasn't very stable for me, as I live in Brazil, not USA,CA or EU, so, not all providers works very well around here.

First of all, I'm new here in reddit, especially here on the iptv related subs. Therefore, I tried to not be a nuisance and did what most you recommend, made LOTS of trials.

Peace Country was one the fastest one to answer me and, definitely, the one who offered me the best customer support. The others were a little bit slow to answer or had been through some sort of email problems. Well, I got nothing to do with that and so, I went through trials on almost all providers on this subreddit.

Well, IMHO if you are looking for English content, then you've found your provider. They got a vast amount of UK,USA and Canadian channels. In addition to that, their sports coverage is quite impressive, they got the NHL, NFL, NBA, Golf, All Football major leagues(Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and plenty of others), tennis...I've seen a snooker championship on China and that was cool and funny at the same time (LOL).

By the way, did I mention VOD?!?!?! They got an awesome collection of series and, especially, MOVIES!!! They got a great selection of new movies and, again, especially, classic movies, I mean, there's the new Star Wars, but also, ALL THE OTHERS ONES AS WELL!!! You also get the new disney movies and the classic ones, personally, to me, it was awesome to watch the classic cinderella movie with my niece.

Personally, to me, the quality and stability of the channels plus the awesome collection of movies do stand out to me. For now, I'm a happy client of Peace Country IPTV and as long as things keep being this way, I'll be one more of their faithful clients.

Fabiptv review

Hi everyone So I have heard many good things about fabiptv I like to keep things nice and simple without the waffle

Support 10/10 I promise you will not find better support then these guys , seriously they are so fast and are available all day if you run into any issues and they are very friendly to talk to.

Channels 10/10 They have Minimal channels which I love so much because it actually shows quality over quantity to them. I was able to run sky sports 1 fhd on the smart iptv app on beta mode and on match day.Yes you heard me in beta mode without 0 freezing , the reason this is important is I know a lot of people come to iptv for sports I promise you will not be disappointed. It has The basics such as Sky bt and All USA sport channels , furthermore they have sky movies and so many more ! Finally they have started to introduce timeshift which allows you to watch missed shows

EPG 6/10 ( will update with new box.) Bit disappointed with epg as a lot of channels were missing epg but I was using the dreamlink and I heard it had serious issues with epg updates. So I will buy a new box and give an update , as for channels sky and bt had epg showing clearly.

Price 10/10 £7.50 a month for the full package , I would happily pay double for it £4.50 for sports or entertainment worth every penny but for extra £3 why not just go for the full thing

After having awful time with providers like rapid iptv and some random Reddit ones who claim to provide local streaming and many more , this is the best iptv I have ever used.

If you would like to purchase it kindly use the link below as it supports me and helps the iptv provider grow to provider even better quality!

Another 'Fab' Review - with pics

Sign-Up link

Hi Guys,

I'm reviewing FAB here for you, and I've also included some screen grabs from Kodi as I feel this is missing from a lot of reviews. Pictures and getting the look and feel is important to a lot of people before pulling the trigger on a purchase. Especially if setting it up for someone non-technical.

This is a review of the full entertainment and sports package, used on a RPi3 and a Windows 7 setup, on 17.1 Krypton.

I did quite a bit of research before setting up FAB and so I was 80% sure of what setup was involved, and also what the pitfalls might be regarding the EPG timezone problems. Nothing to be overly worried about.

I spoke with their technical support via a ticket on their website regarding a few questions and was answered within 10minutes. Top marks here. They also offer a weekday 24hour trial.

From the checkout to having a video playing on my system was about 5minutes. The emails contain all the information you could need and it's very self-explanatory. The HD channels looked great and I watched a couple of movies and the news channels for ages forgetting it was through my Pi and not my Sat Dish.

I would reccommend anyone to check out FAB, it's a great price and is very UK centric, with all the Sky channels you could want, there is also a good selection of USA/Canadian channels and also some international sports channels. I didn't want anything more, and there is also a 'catch-up' service launching soon. Channel List Link

The Pros:

Great fast customer service (email and website tickets)
FB group to talk with other users
Quality of video is excellent on 40" 1080p TV
Great price

The Cons:

The knowledgebase on the website is a bit sparse (could do with more information perhaps with pics)
My Pi rebooted itself once, but I think it might have been me switching menus and playing with it too much
Some programs on certain channels (international sports ones) didn't match the EPG.
The iOS app FAB works with is clunky and is not user friendly and has timezone issues also for the EPG.

Overall it's a recommendation from me..

Here's some pics of the screens you'll see when set up

Longer than I expected review of FABIPTV

Hey guys,

So this is a review fabiptv. I am an experienced Kodi user, but with zero experience of IPTV outside of the free CCloud plugin which I only used for MSNBC.

I picked Fab because they offer cheaper packages without sports. I don't need sports, being forced to watch the world cup once every 4 years is bad enough - If I had all the sports channels I'd be overruled everytime I wanted to watch something on Sky Arts.

So I got the £4.50 monthly entertainment package to try it out. £4.50 a month was the best price I was able to find which still had all the UK and US channels I was interested in. I'm a few days in now and I'm about to set up a second connection and I'm ready to to renew for another 3 months (£12) when this month is up.

The channel selection is solid. It's not thousands of channels, but it's all the ones you'd need. On the entertainment plan I have about 140. That doesn't sound like a lot, but theres no filler there. Honestly, I can't think of a channel i'd want that i dont currently have. I signed up on Saturday, since then they've added like 20 new channels - it's pretty cool, every couple of hours I get a bunch of new channels to play around with. I think this is probably mostly down to the fact that they are a new (*kinda) service and still populating their list. Heres a channel list and you'll see what I mean https://pastebin.com/qcf6CrH5.

Set up was pretty straightforward. As soon as i bought it i received an automated email with my login details and set up instructions. I've used Kodi for years, but I'd never attempted to add IPTV before. I found it pretty simple to add it to the built in PVR on Kodi (which is super cool because now on the Kodi remote app I can select channels and see listings right on my phone).

I had a couple of problems with the EPG - because I signed up just as the clocks were changing in the UK all of the channels were an hour behind (or ahead, i cant remember, daylight savings melts my brain), and some other really dumb questions. I opened a ticket and got a super fast and super friendly reply. I really get the impression from my emails with Fab and the facebook group (the owners regularly, like multiple times a day, post updates and reply to customers on there) that these guys are really trying to ace the whole customer service thing.

Okay so EPG issues. Once I'd fixed the timeshift problem with the help of the customer support guys (at like midnight on a sunday by the way) I realised there were a few other issues for a good amount of channels:

epg data was for the wrong channel (EG fox uk was getting fox usa listings)
there was no EPG data at all
the epg showed one programme, and only that programme, for the entire channel indefinitely. Like an episode of ellen on ITV2 UK starting at 10am and continuing for 3 days.

I went onto the facebook group and saw that other people had these problems too. The customer support guys had said that this was due to the clocks changing or something and would be fixed within a few days.

To be fair, that's proven to be the case. The vast majority of channel epg data is spot on now (there are some weird issues with a couple - but this is on their radar and will be fixed soon), and the streams all works fine.

Okay so the streams. I don't have anything to compare them to, but to my eyes they all seem pretty solid. Theres no noticeable lag on my end. The picture quality seems good, and audio is all fine. Most of the important channels are in HD, there are some which have both HD and SD (I have no idea why anybody would prefer to watch the SD versions but there you are), and a couple are just in SD. I really don't know what to tell you, it works just fine for me.

I can't vouch for their VoD offering because I haven't used it. Nor can I vouch for their sports content.

So I had never used IPTV before. I discovered it was a 'thing' on saturday, I bought fab on saturday night and was watching stuff within minutes. Now I'm a convert. I'm loving this so much that, like i said, i'm about to buy another package for a different computer, and i fully intend to renew.

I will say, it seems weird to me that they price an additional connection at £5 per month. That's more expensive than just buying another package (sports only and entertainment only are £4.50 per month).

I can't vouch for them other than saying that since i joined on saturday, they've been great. If this changes, I will update this post. I have no horse in this race, I'm a real redditor (mostly a lurker but you can see my comment history - I'm no bot) and the other reviews on this board helped me a lot.

If you want to sign up, here's a referral link (I get a discount if you use it - it wont cost you more) https://fabiptv.com/aff.php?aff=78

and here's a regular, non-referral link https://fabiptv.com/

*I gather that they were a reseller of something called Flawless for a while before now, so it's not like theyre a brand new operation, but theyve just this past week starting offering their own hosted service.

TLDR: Yeah I like it a lot. Stellar customer service, solid channel list, and good quality streams.

Peace Country IPTV Review

After having subscribed to 3 different IPTV Subs (who shall remain nameless) over the last 14 months, I can wholeheartedly recommend Peace Country as a top notch IPTV provider. They are by far, the most reliable and best quality service I've see to date. I've been with them now for over 7 months and have never looked back.

If you're looking for a Sub that is compatible with a wide variety of hardware platforms and various streaming apps, this is one you'll certainly want to take a look at. And yes, there are free trials available for those in doubt.

Here are just a few reasons you owe it to yourself to give them a try:

Very competitive rates. Multi-room packages. Superb selection of UK channels, all in better than acceptable quality (most of which are in HD). Channels are grouped nicely into clearly defined categories and are accompanied by a fully functional guide. UK Documentary, Movies, Movies on Demand, Entertainment, Sports, Music, Kids, News, a USA/CA section, also with all of the above categories for those who enjoy North American content.

Did I mention SPORTS??? This is where the other providers usually fall short. If that's what you're looking for, Peace Country has you covered and then some. The selection of live sports channels is quite simply mind-blowing. Far too many channels for me to list here, but there is typically coverage of just about every major sporting event world wide...including select PPV events!!

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the one thing that really sets this service apart from the rest. Peace Country provides the best Customer Service I've ever seen from any provider. From the time I contacted them to the time I was up and running can be counted in minutes, not hours or days. If you're not all that savvy and run into tech issues, the level of support is quite phenomenal. These issues get resolved quickly and efficiently and they'll have you sorted out in no time.

This is quite simply, IPTV the way it's supposed to be done. None of the other providers I've used have even come close in terms of quality of service, customer service, and overall just making the entire IPTV experience a pleasant one.

You don't have to take my word for it. Hit them up for a trial and see for yourself, and then you can take my word for it as well :)

Cheers,

Parky
