Hey guys. FWIW I would like to start this review by just saying if you look through my reddit account it should be clear that I am in no way a shill or reseller etc. I have not received anything for this, I'm just typing this up while watching the game. I did however ask one of the admins if I could get permission to write a review here. I'm also going to avoid using any copyrighted names from broadcasters so if you are looking for nitty gritty specifics this isn't for you. I will also state for those who don't want to read everything that this is going to be all in all a very positive review.

[ My IPTV Background ]

I have only used IPTV for 2 months, however I will say that I have an IT background so I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about. I became interested in an IPTV service primarily for live football (soccer), although I also enjoy watching UK channels, movie channels, documentaries and the odd US channel. Previously I used to watch all my games for a few years through acestream. However, this approach frustrated me as you would find peers would drop after a goal (rage quit likely) leaving the stream to constantly buffer during/before/after important moments. I also didn't like that I would be distributing (uploading) questionable content to other peers.

I said I had used IPTV for 2 months - my first provider was Beast, I thought I'd play it safe and go with a popular provider. Beast was alright but there were far too many trash channels and the quality and dependency of football left much to be desired. So I began looking for something better, and luckily enough I found it from searching threads and comments here and subsequently googling the source.

[ Cost ]

Not going to quote the exact cost here, but you can expect to pay around €10 a month depending on currency used. Very reasonable. Pack of smokes costs more!

[ Connections ]

You get 1. The staff seem to not over-promise and under deliver as they want to respect stability (they have a user cap which has not yet been reached). This said they may change in the future. VPNs are allowed. I have connected from many different IPs as I also have a VPN on for torrenting occasionally and have never had a problem, with or without.

[ Channel Availability ]

Never missed a football match, lots of PPV fights and all that (don't know much about UFC/MMA/Boxing so can't comment on specifics), lots of UK Entertainment channels, has lots of the main US Entertainment channels, lots of UK Movie channels. Absolutely spoiled for choice on matchday with channels to watch the game. I find myself watching more football than ever now due to this. Can even watch my German team! Super happy. Wife super happy with the sports as well and also her entertainment channels.

[ Stream Quality ]

Most of the important and popular sports streams are in FHD (1080p), 50FPS. Some are HD (720p) 60FPS. Some I believe are 50FPS interpolated as no actual source exists with native high FPS. So basically my impression is that if it's available at the source, you'll get it, with the exception of UHD 4K like all/most IPTV providers which is a cost that would have to be passed onto the consumer I imagine. Some providers claim to have UHD channels, but they are in fact just FHD. 🐿️ lists them as their proper definitions. The big "main" ones are fantastic quality, not going to go into detail with names etc.

[ Channel Switching/Zapping ]

Assuming you have a good connection + device and are using something fast like Exoplayer (tivimate) or VLC on PC, channels load super quickly, especially the sports channels. It is the closest thing I have ever seen to real TV (actually, sometimes it's even faster). Family I have shown have been amazed that it was so responsive, even thinking it was a proper cable provider. There are maybe a couple of niche channels that take slightly longer to load, but the big ones are all super fast (also the movie channels). I'm really pleased with this, sometimes I just find myself flicking through channels just to put a smile on my face that they always load so quickly.

[ Buffering ]

The dreaded immersion-breaker. I've only ever had buffering on my end with the sports when I was connected to a slow VPN (my fault) or fiddling around with WiFi because my PC is at the other end of the house (my fault), one time a certain UK Entertainment channel needed to be restarted. As I said, some niche channels might initially take slightly longer to load, but they are very stable. I'm really happy I can watch an entire game without bullshit. This is night and day compared to how I used to watch games on Acestream.

[ Support ]

Admins are extremely active. Admins are not immature. Someone was found to be restreaming and they handled it very well without calling them derogatory names etc. They are polite but also quite casual and able to have friendly banter with the community. There was one issue that didn't even affect me in the month (wasn't even their fault, not going to go into specifics) and they resolved it extremely quickly. Everyone was super pleased. Great response time and if someone is going to be AFK they will let you know. Really nice bunch of lads and I really respect the amount they do for people of all ages and skill-levels who aren't paying them much every month.

They have a portal, set your own MAC, download M3U, etc. I've never really needed anything from them. One time I did point out there were a few missing logos for channels I don't even watch and they were on the case resolving it in minutes.

[ Final Thoughts ]

Excellent value, excellent stability, excellent support, the small community is fantastic, I feel privileged to be able to be a member and the cost is very fair, I'd feel comfortable paying a little bit more but I'm not complaining since it is still less than my previous provider and everything is superior. I know there are a lot of shitty reviews on here and with good reason too. If anyone thinks I'm a shill I'd just like to say that I'm just super happy. Those who know the thrill in having a stable, quality service will relate to the satisfaction in having a reliable setup. Obviously I can't see what the future holds for them, but my first month impression in a nutshell : I'm absolutely thrilled with the service provided!
