Best UI for IPTV

I've noticed a lot of providers using their own hardcoded/custom apps to provide a service such as the XC, Purple or smarters app and many more, Im a big fan of TiviMate myself as it gives a more familiar look especially for the wife and kids? Do these custom apps have any benefits over TiviMate and if so what are they?

WebOS VPN?

TL;DR at the end.

I just bought Surfshark to stream content from Hungarian websites (I live in the UK). It works great on my laptop (and presumably any other device that has a native app available), but can't get it to work at all on my LG tv using WebOS.

I tried setting up their SmartDNS on the TV, but that didn't work. (Surfshark do claim that their SmartDNS service currently only supports US content to be fair.) I mean it did connect to the Internet, but didn't solve the region locking issue with the streaming site in question.

Is there any way to 'force' Surfshark's SmartDNS service to give me a Hungarian DNS that works, or I'm stuck with US only for the time being?

And is there any other VPN/smartDNS service that works on tvs running on WebOS? I can still use the laptop to stream whatever via SurfShark's VPN and just connect it to the TV via HDMI, but it's better to stream directly from the TV and its browser...

Thanks, if anyone knows of either a workaround with Surfshark or of any other VPN that supports WebOS.

TL;DR: is there any VPN or SmartDNS service that supports WebOS on TVs?

Formuler GTV vs Z8 Pro review and differences?

I am finally upgrading from my slow old MAG 254 and am deciding between the GTV and the Z8 Pro. After testing the Z8 Pro , I was very impressed by MOTL2 compared to the MAG interface.

Important Note for me: I will be using this ONLY for IPTV Streaming, I have a new LG TV so I likely won't use any apps on either box besides MOTL2.

Overall, hardware specs seem the same but GTV has the new Android TV 9 software. Has anyone been able to test them side by side?

Is the GTV feel faster? Will it get longer software updates?

Basically, Is the GTV worth the ~$40 premium?

Edit providers playlist (m3u)

Hello. i need some help understanding things about editing m3u playlist.
1.) Is it possible to edit m3u playlist i received from provider?
I received m3u link i put in my android TV and watching it through the app.

2.) I want to remove some categories, remove some channels from certain categories and create more categories from channels that are innitially sorted in one category. Is it possible?

3.) If possible, when i edit and remove channels from some categories, also keep some of them untouched, what will happen with channels provider adds from time to time to some category, or what will happen if some channel goes down, and provider repairs it and push it back? will they be in the edited playlist?

4.) Is there any tool for thing like that? Please suggest

I am ready to pay for it, i read about xtream-editor but their gold plan works only for 5 playlists imported, i need it to be a lot more than 5, unlimited if possible, so i can manage it for each of my friends. most of us have the same provider, but if i figure it right, for each of their playlist i have to edit it, no matter if its the same provider.

4.) how these links work then, my m3u url have some kind of username and password in url, if i edit the list, does it changes the url i need to import to tv app?

5.)Do i need some kind of hosting if these edited lists are not the initial one that i got from the provider? Asking because i thought that after editing playlist its not the same one i recieved from provider, so url should change.

Thank you in advance for helpig me understanding how it works...
best regards!

Pro tip to stop throttling

If you don't wanna pay for a VPN. Ring up your isp, and tell them that when you are trying to watch live gaming streams and that it is buffering. They should then take the throttle off your account no questions asked. Nothing wrong with trying to stream someone's video game footage

IPTV in other countries

I live in Middle East and have been using IPTV for 2 years, actually everything on IPTV is on Internet for free in websites with a few pop up ads including movies, sports, series, etc. Is IPTV different in other countries? I mean is there any content showing on IPTV in some countries that’s not on internet for free? Because I see that it has a large market and hype outside the Middle East.
