So, after subscribing with Helix for one month (now I miss them), I thought of looking for a better alternative for sports channels and Arabic ones. I found https://epiciptv.net/ . I paid $25 for a month assuming this will bring me the best quality ever. And my experience is horrible since then.
- There is no portal where you can get your credentials or submit tickets. Everything is happening through replying to the first email I got from them.
- They use a form by formstack.com and that's it, you can't claim any refund or talk to anyone to escalate.
- They don't provide M3U; I'm using Android TV. So, I had to download their APK, get the Mac Address, share it with them, and then they allow me access (this took 24 hours!).
- I logged in first time very excited, and then found most of Arabic and Sports channels are not working. I thought there was a problem with my connection, so I tried their VOD, and it was pretty good.
- Since then, I've been emailing them asking for a refund and service cancellation, but they keep answering with "send us a video of your problem," I kept recording and sending videos and then nothing.
- It takes them 4-5 hours to respond to a ticket which is crazy.
Some US channels have good quality, but I would not pay $25 for them, Helix was way better for $12!
** Update ** I just received the following email from them.
We have reviewed your video and have confirmed that most, except OSN Movie Premier, are all working file on our end. And so once again we do not believe this issue is with us.
A $5 setup fee was charged and so $20 was refunded as your account cannot be sold nor be given to anyone else.
First problem is thinking 25 a month would give you the best quality IPTV. This is a common misconception but I can see why. Second, 4 to 5 hours responding is probably average for IPTV and often depends on the time of day ect...I suppose on the positive side at least you didn't buy a year up front, chalk this up to a loss/lesson and get something that will perform well and suit you needs. Good luck!
