VaderStreams using IPROCKET

by throwwaway1245

Long time lurker, first time poster. Using a throwaway.. just in case.. I am typically not a big fan of Kodi when it comes to Live TV. For the most part it is very disappointing. Streams that work like crap. Buffering non-stop. When it is not buffering the picture is grainy as hell. I gave up on Kodi Live TV. Sure Exodus and other VOD is great with many different sources and I lived on VOD for months. The problem comes with live events and sports. Kodi has nothing for me. You want to watch the Oscars, Emmy, or a sporting event. Not going to happen. You will spend more time looking for a source and probably give up on the even half way through and then follow the twitter hashtags.. that is as good as you are going to get. About a month ago, someone posted /r/addons4kodi about how they got IPTV with a video of how it works. It pulled me in and I was shocked that using an STB Emulator or Perfect Player work so well for the dude. But it was not Kodi so I did not bite on it. I subscribed to /r/iptv and lurked around some more and read up on /r/iptvreviews. A lot of people had a MAG and Dreamlink and they were happy with all the services, but it was not for me, I have no desire to invest another box. I already have my custom HTPC why do I want to invest in another. Still lurking until someone posted about Vader Streams . I saw that name in add-ons and on some of the builds but never thought twice about it. Well, after reading a couple of interesting review here and watching a couple of Youtube videos of vaders, I decided to give it a try. I connected with /u/insiderip asked about their Pioneer service. He was quick to respond and answer all the questions I had regarding the service. I had really basic question that he answered professional and took the time for me help me understand the packages.

It took me a while to figure it out but let me lay it out to new users. Apollo and Pioneer is a re-brand of IPGUYS and Vaderstreams. It is exactly the same as what the other resellers sell but IPROCKET has their own name. I am just going to call it vader streams

Since I am pretty much a Kodi guy, I went with a trial for (Vader Streams). With IPROCKET it was easy to set up on their website, just go to their site link below

Interface Uses the standard Kodi TV interface and EPG. Below are some sample images of how the EPG looks like and the channel scroll looks like. It is a very slick interface and the how responsive this depends on how fast your device is. I am a big fan of this interface compared to what I have seen with MAG and Dreamlink. https://kodi.tv/wp-content/uploads/v16-epg.png http://www.iptvsaga.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/iptv-deutchland-pvr-addon.jpg

I really like the interface

Channel Groups and channel selection USTV, CANTV, UKTV, Premium Movies, Sportsworld HD, Live Center, MatchCenter and South Asian There really is not a lot of channels for Vader which is okay..about 100 to 200 channels. I really don't need all the channels in the world. It has all the major channels in US, CA, UK. It also has movies channels as well as a South Asian channel group. You can customize the channel groups and hid the channels you don't want to see. This is not possible in the MAG or dreamlink. There is a bunch of upper channel that is used for rotation sporting events. You will never tune to these directly.. instead use the MatchCenter.

VOD It has a lot of content that integrates into the UI of Kodi. It seems like a lot it is not the target of what I am looking

MATCHCENTER. Holy cow. This is a game changer. A sub menu of the Vaderstreams brings you to Matchcenter which is a list all the games for today. You no longer need to hunt for your game. This alone is worth the price of admission. I tell you how many times I tried looking for a channel for a game and getting frusted to match up game to time to channel. This takes care of it for you. You scroll through the match center find the game you want. Select the game and then the quality and you are in. it is as easy as that. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5yXHTsXEAMRiGV.jpg

Ease of install

IPROCKET does not have a KB yet. According to the guy who runs it he is working on it and wants it perfect before releasing it. Not a worry.. vaders install is well documented. Here it is below: https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-install-vader-streams-kodi/ Buy vader, follow the instructions and then you are good.

Quality and Stability This is high quality stuff. With an IPTV provider, you will get some issues here and there. Vader really rocks. It works. The games I want to watch is on. There is no buffering. It has everything I need for IPTV in a Kodi environment.

MISC THREE STREAMS AT ONCE! Sure Vader maybe not the cheapest out there but you get three streams at once! That means you can watch 3 sporting events on three different devices. NOTE: These need to come from the same IP address otherwise you risk of getting banned!

DEVICES: These devices can be a true IPTV STB (blah), KODI, VLC, and web interface, SMARTV and practically an unlimited options

Reseller review/support

/u/insiderip is a quality reseller. Payment is handled via Paypal or bitcoin. He is very responsive to his email. The website has a chat feature that seems to be staffed 24/7. Not soon after I did the trial I purchased a full month of Vaderstreams. I plan on continuing the subscription for a long time. Matter of fact, several people have signed up since I showed the match center interface. Subscription is month to month and IPROCKET can conveniently bill you so you not have gaps in service. They sell IPGUYS, Vaderstreams and Express IPTV

Not my video but a good video none the less https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClFcT6f_4dM

TLDR: Vaderstream is awesome for Kodi. IPROCKET is a good place to by from.

I picked up vader from them yesterday as my first venture into the world of IPTV. Within an hour it left me wanting more. I now have a dreamlink t1 on the way!

I was having a small issue with the TV guide not working within the kodi add-on. Still haven't figured that out yet. Not an issue for me as I'll be using the t1 tomorrow.

Been using the IPGUYS/Apollo streams for a few weeks now and I'm very happy. They are super stable on my Mag.
