BACKROUND

This review is based solely on the use of US and sports channels over a one month period. That's all I watch or personally care about, and didn't bother either using or testing any of the other language content that may be offered. So as always, anything below is a direct reflection on that specific experience. For general reference purposes, my main targeted areas of interest include sport talk shows on ESPNs/Fox Sports, UFC, MLB, NFL, WWE Wrestling programs, and random movie surfing.

SupTV was tested on the APK, Perfect Player Pro, and a fresh install of Kodi 17.6 with no back round addons other then using Ares Wizard to set my advanced settings. Internet speeds generally tested out at 95-100mbps+ and on a wired connection through my 2017 Nvidia Shield. While I don't consider myself Mr. Tech or anything, I am confident in my researching/tinkering ability enough that any trouble shooting done was both accurate and with every possibility exhausted to best isolate any non-SupTV issue. All in all I'd estimate that this review is based on roughly 50 hours of use.

SETUP/CUSTOMER SERVICE

Setup was extremely basic, with a Smarter APK install (that required an extra install step) and provided m3u addresses to input directly into Perfect Player or Kodi's simple client. With no extra fluff features (more on that latter) weighing down the install I'll also note it's one the faster loading Kodi setups you'll find as well.

Customer service is handled directly through the seller, and to my knowledge unfortunately doesn't include a more extensive discord or telegram chat platform. That said, I've found the reseller to be both extremely responsive and helpful.

Going to go ahead and list con #1 here too, since it might be a pretty big and immediate deal breaker variety to some of you out there. As a provider focusing on offering a multi connection options at an extremely low rate, SupTV apparently went the anti account sharing route of not allowing VPN use with their service. Or at least that was my direct experience with IPVanish/PIA, and both of which would block connection anytime either was turned on. Granted I guess I should stress this for being very subjective type of con though, since to be blunt I actually never recommend a VPN to anybody that even has to ask if they need one. If you are only wanting it for IPTV use and live in the US...chances are you don't and regardless of the massive amount of cop-out to buffering claims of "it's your internet provider throttling your connection" suggesting otherwise (which 99% of the time isn't actually the case outside it's convenient finger pointing aspect). But yeah, I for one do want to have a VPN constantly running in the back round (for non-IPTV related stuff), and having to turn it off every single time to watch one of my IPTV providers is certainly going down as a notably annoying con here.

EPG

A definite weak point to provider. I'll stop short of labeling it terrible here due to the US listings being a *majority* full, but there are some pretty glaring exclusions. ESPN as a flagship channel being an example of one. I mean c'mon....how do you miss populating that one? Selective sports listing sections such as MLB/NFL were indeed flat out terrible though, generally offering a completely empty list that requires you to blindly click through and play each channel until finding the game you seek. Which granted isn't actually all that unusual to see with sports from most providers not named Vader or Gears, but combined with the exclusions in the regular US section still makes up for a below standard whole.

QUALITY/CHANNELS

Let me start off by stating that this was shaping up to be a high point of this review, and something which initially had me excited to share my experience here. As up until a couple days before my account expired there was a small but notably select amount of 60fps offerings on some of the more mainstream channels, and which also included the entire MLB Extra Innings package. Alas as I logged in to do my last minute check/tests...with the exception of just ESPN2 they were all gone and replaced by 30fps feeds. Was a total downer, and while for all I know atm (been over a week fwiw since I just took a small vacation since finishing up) that might have just been temporary and latter fixed...in all fairness I have to go ahead on any potential recommendation here of that being an "as is" factor.

So that aside, I'd still rate picture quality as being pretty dang solid for a cheaper provider. All the channels I regularly watched were 1080 and 720 feeds (which I was told actually get sourced out to some of the more popular providers on reddit) , and if there were some SD feeds mixed in I don't recall running in to any offhand. Channel grouping is broken up into the standard format you'd expect, and all the US based channels/sports typically being offered are of course present.

STABILITY

With the exception of maybe 2-3 days in the middle of the month I'd give it an overall thumbs up on stability. Not the very best I've seen, but as whole buffering wasn't common and it performed more then adequate when I needed it to. Which in itself also says something about it's stability, since I find myself bailing out of half my review attempts here when I don't find stability to be adequate. On that note and has typically been the case in every provider I use nowadays...expect a small tick up in stability when using Perfect Player Pro's base player over Kodi or the APK though.

Never saw the servers crash or get taken down during my sub, which obviously goes down as a plus.. Tested one UFC PPV (227) during that time as well, which had 2 feeds up and played without flaw in 720/30fps on the one I choose to use.

FEATURES/VALUE

No extra features of note. SupTV is your no-nonsense and stick to simply offering what should be every provider/user's primary and always above all else concern...Live TV. After having a second and even third separate IPTV provider dev recently confirm to me that VOD can and does impact the overall stability of their live TV streams...I'm going to start giving a small bonus in these reviews to providers who *don't* offer VOD at that. If you've read one of my reviews before then you know the next part: at the minimum there are plenty of completely free and easy to use/install APKs out there for your always updated VOD needs.....get over the 5 minute learning curve and use one.

From a value standpoint SupTV actually comes in as the cheapest "stable" provider I've come across. Base price is $4.99/month for one connection, with the option to upgrade to 3 total connections for $6.99. With the twist that if you happen to be a current customer of another one of the services being offered on the website (which is one of the more unique and value oriented reseller sites I've seen btw. Offering 12 different providers including some of the more popular ones, and an option to combo package them for a noteworthy discount) you can then add the 3 connections of SupTV for a notably low $3.99/month.

CONCLUSSION

As stated earlier, writing this section would of been a lot easier and resulted in a slam dunk recommendation for the price (even with the no VPN factor) had those 60fps feeds remained intact. Just throwing that out there again ;)

Anyway, my main review goal for last month was to test out and uncover another viable option in the growing $5 value bracket, and in that respect I have to give SupTV a passing grade here. While it wouldn't get my straight comparative recommendation over something like EternalTV or TNT Media, which top the list (imo) while bringing more overall polish to that specific table, it still offers another alternative worth checking out. Especially in relationship to those of us out there (myself included) who are finding better bang for our buck reliability (*cough* upcoming NFL coverage on super traffic Sundays *cough*) in having three $5 provider options instead paying that same $15/mo amount on a single "all-your-eggs-in-one-basket" provider. Or if you happen to be interested in one of the other providers being offered on his site, then yeah...really can't beat 3 connections for $4 on a backup option I always recommend everybody have anyway.

The above said, the lacking EPG and no VPN aspect ultimately earns it a *PASS* from me as far as any primary or stand alone provider appeal goes. Again, there are just better options out there I'd recommend first. Same obviously goes for those with run multiple services with a VPN always running in the backround. For people looking for a backup/extra, or for those that fall into the extreme save every last dollar cheapskate category, I'd put it down as a *YMMV* buy.
