Sports Perfection Flash Update 10/13/19

by aybesea

UPDATE: Latest full review is here https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTVReviews/comments/dy3cfy/us_sports_perfection_6_ncaa_hoops_2019_edition/

A lot of you have been PMing me about a new provider mix, especially since Jarvis has now announced that they will be discontinuing m3u support.

I hear you loud and clear, and I too am feeling the pain. I absolutely WILL be publishing a new update of providers, but not until I find a high quality mix that I can actually endorse.

Currently, I am using the following providers, and I am attaching a note about the condition / caveats of each. I am NOT saying that these providers will continue to make up my provider pool once I get it settled.

Premium - this is Helix under a different name. Helix is working too. They have periodic lapses in service, but for the most part they are up and have high quality sports streams.

Smoothstreams - they were never affected by xc since they don't use them. Streams are wonderful, but you can't currently do multiscreen on Android TV. Also, you need an invite to join.

Hive - this is, more or less, the old Vader platform. Like Vader, it's a little quirky and proprietary, but I have it up and running on TiViMate and they have most of the games in good condition.

Jarvis - they are still up (have been through the entire debacle) but as of Monday you will have to use their app. I've been reassured that given time it will become a user friendly app, but not so great just yet. But, you can see the games here.

I am dropping Hydrogen and Coolasice from the list for now because neither of them are stable at the moment. It's really very frustrating.

If others have suggestions for other providers that I should check out, please PM me! I will try them and pass the word if they pan out.

Thanks for the quick update, I know all of this is a process, your input is greatly appreciated!

Okay, so here's an update...

I'm far from cementing my picks for providers, but I've been checking out Dark Media and Uproar, both being provided by u/IPTVGOD. So far, both have been solid and error free, both during sports and conventional viewing. In my mind, Dark has the better picture, but both are looking good.

As I said, I'm not there yet, but this is very promising. I will keep people updated here until my next update.

Is there anyway to get a smooth streams invite from anywhere? Also who’s your realest for premuim interested in trying a new service, thanks.

Dark is down again. So are Hive and Hydrogen. Premium is showing the Lions game in 30fps. Uproar is artifacting a bunch. Looks like it's a Smoothstreams day!

Thanks for that tidbit about Coolasice. I'm super new to all of this and somehow chose that one as my first sub due to some positive comments on here, needless to say it has been a waste of $10. After that I was questioning if this sub is just dudes shilling for crappy providers, but now I see that isn't the case.

Mr_Notty

Thanks for this. Will be glued to your future posts. Definitely try Beast want to see how they stack up in your opinion.

Can anyone advise on somewhere with a decent UK service at present??

MediocreOchre

Anyone have invites for Smoothstreams? Interested in checking out the service.

Smoothstreams hands down is the best in Sports Perfection. I've tried A LOT of services and this is by far still the best. There is no service that comes close to smoothstreams as far as delay to the actual feed of the channel. I have tested Hive on your recommendation and it's like over a minute behind, when it comes to sports streams that is a killer for me. If it was regular programming that wouldn't matter as much. Hive is really good in quality and not much buffering but the delay is a problem.

So, this weekend will be interesting. Premium has been perfect. Smoothstreams is always perfect. Hydrogen has been good for 2 days. Dark has gone to shit... hopefully it comes back. Uproar has a little glitch that shows up every 15 seconds or so. Coolasice is still MIA.

Is obvious that things are not stable just yet. For those asking for recommendations, Premium is the first place to look. If you have a friend with Smoothstreams, an account there is in order as well.

I currently have a subscription to Hydr0GEN and is working but honestly the quality of the streams after all the issues is not great, a lot of 30FPS sport channels which is unwatchable for me.

I had a subscription to Dark months ago (before the XC issues) but it didn’t perform well for me, a lot of buffering and down time.

I think about trying The Hive, are they sports streams good quality? 60 FPS to be more specific.

The Hive is still recommended? I mainly use USA/CAN and I want all the premium sports packages, mainly NFL Sunday Ticket and NHL Center Ice. I want to be able to use it with TiviMate

Does anyone currently have Dark? There some people carrying on in discord about them. I will try them if anyone can vouch that they are up and HQ.

Picture quality seems fine for me, if delay isn’t a problem those providers are really good. A delay for sports especially if you have fantasy or bet on sports is a problem. Hive movies seems to be not working. Is that the same for you?

AAAIIIYYYAAA

Any buffering/quality issues on premium from beast? Also is there spectrum sports net (Lakers) and us local channels? I’ll probably take a look at premium and hive. I need 3-5 connections compared to the 2 offered on premium.

I have Jarvis now but watching the web player on my iPhone is not ideal. Sucks... really liked the quality and service but options is needed than the android beta app and a web player.

Coolasice works for me. Channels dropped significantly. Some don’t work at all. Won’t renew.

Thanks for the update!

WOOHOO! Uproar is working with 4 screen multiview in iMPlayer.

Best I've found since Jarvis is firetvstreams. Not sure how it compares to premium though

jacobsonsboy

Thanks

Difficult to find sports game in 1080 60 fps seems you either get 1080 30fps or 720 60fps

tiagoggama

Sniper Media is amazing

acidman45

Looks like cool as ice is dead. Zero service. Discord is now gone. Can anybody confirm?

How to get an invite to sports streams

I'm using https://streamsforus.net/ and they seem to be working well. they left everyone in the dark for about a week, but slowly they are adding stuff back. I'm using them, Jarvis, and helix.
