The WINNERS & LOSERS of IPTV providers!

by SalAzzam

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.

Vader Streams is not reliable. They used to be good 1-2 years ago, but no more.

Peterrooter

Vaders was good. It's unwatchable now.

strickerhumain

Vader streams is rubbish

jimagic

Avoid Vader Stream !!!!!!!!!!!

knightmare303

Gears website isn’t gearstvhd that’s a reseller the official is omarsvideos.com

Very interesting.

I have tried BestBuyiptv numerous times and it seems to function very well, all the time. Sometimes FOX news is down but is resolved pretty quickly. I am located in Thailand and I think BestBuy is located in Vietnam, not sure where their server(s) are and I use a VPN server in New York with ZERO buffering, lag, etc.

I'm interested in this DreamStreamsTV and plan to test them today, evaluate them.

Thank you for your input, most helpful.

The op looks to be a seller for DreamStreamsTV .

Thanks for posting. I also continue to try many, and maybe due to timing I also like Vaders but not sure I will keep it after this month. Had trouble with trials of Beast and Helix. Area51 and TNT were both good and I kept TNT. Smoothstreams is good but only for sports not many other channels. VOD you can find better outside of the IPTV providers. Catchup is nice but I don't really care about 24X7.

Both Dreamstreamtv and Nitrotv have the same channel lists, the lists looks impressive with so much international contents. Nitrotv charges $4.99 for 24hrs trial whilst Dreamstreamtv offers a free trial.

edudez

Are those IPTV providers have European channels too?

bighero76

So are nitro and dream the same source just different names? Resellers basically?

bighero76

Yes that’s common in iptv. When I started “testing” in 2011 the inside joke was there are basically just two providers and people just restream/rename.

torulatv

What about http://toru.la

xfirestreamz

Never tried Crystal Clear / xFirestreamz at all.

appandweb

Thank you for the list , but the loosers list i think its too short lol ! and the iptv listed as well most of them never heard off buyiptv and bestbuyiptv coz of there contínuos spam and advertisements all over the internet .

The good list also missing some iptvs at least the ones i have tried like rocketstreams, helix and the one iam using for the last 6 months IPTVCLOUDS , i didnt experience any buffering or down channels in those iptvs which to me is very important ..

i heard alot of nitro tv i think one day i will try them for my summer house , usualy i stay there only 1 month per year .

fawzib

bestbuyiptv is actually not bad. it have solid streams and zero buffers. it have some major problem with epg never syncing up correctly. aggressive 1 ip 1 connection. switching between stations might error out because of this hard limit. support takes days. requested fixing channel group multiple times and nothing.

Hany. Good italian iptv

meowman8000

Why is /r/iptv so expensive, what does it give that /r/embyshares with iptv doesnt give? Providers like monkey devices are half the price and offer on demand as well. Has anyone used both, is there a benefit to these iptv only services?

ajlister

Going to suggest to you that NitroTV is a Vaderstreams reseller. If you go to Nitro's website, scroll down to Frequent Questions and read the answer to "Is a VPN required to use Nitro?", the answer is posted as "A VPN is not required to use Nitro; however, it is highly recommended. Using a VPN can prevent any blocks or throttles your internet provider has placed on Vader Streams ... "

'Nuff said.

I'm a current user of GearsTV actually been with them since they started out. I've always paid $13 a month for 1 connection. New signups was $15. Then recently that price has increased to $16.50 a month for 1 connection across the board. The site you linked https://www.gearstvhd.com/ i never heard of. The first thing that caught my eye was $25 for 5 connections. When you used Gears, is that what you paid? With that many connections?

Tried http://iptvcanada.info ?

I got DreamStreamsTV after seeing this. Awesome US & UK content but their French streams are all crappy. Most just don't load and the ones that do either suffer from buffering or have no audio track. Pretty disappointing in that regard...

sazzam2

Thanks for this!

chiefscargod

what about tnt? If so, what is the site?

bkaryes

Hello guys. I offer IPTV services at an affordable price. Comes with 4000+ channels and 2000+ vod. If interested, hit me up

Jeeperg84

I tried out Dreamstreams even with 100+mbps internet at nonpeak hours i got audio/visual syncing issues, buffering/skipping...thankfully was only a dollar for the trial...

I may try out Nitro though it seems to be same server. We’ll see my current service -ology runs out in a few days so I’m playing around trying a few different for now.

bundy1232

I use Alienstreams they are pretty reliable with lots of HD channels and VOD is included!

knightmare303

Looks like DreamStreams.TV changed their website address to dstvhosting.com in case anyone is wondering.

Positive : No buffer , good customer support , good quality channels , VOD is amaizng

Negative : No one month Sub , only 3 + months , 1 device per sub

GCTV are one of the best I’ve seen 👌🏻

damoramo

www.getwolftv.com is excellent so far. new comer on the market.

jjohnson1979

Question about dreamstream.tv (which apparently is now dstvhosting.com )... The website has like 0 information on anything. How many channels, is there a listing somewhere? Also, do they offer M3U (I run mine on a Kodi box).

uncbuk

of course you rate them best since u freakin sell it...t!
