As the title suggests, is there a IPTV provider that provides OSN channels (http://www.osn.com/en-sa/explore/channels) as well as Supersports channels (http://www.supersport.com/)?
Thanks
Hi guys,
First of all I know there is a lot of these threads already so I do appreciate your help.
I am just looking around to find the best IPTV subscription for quality/price but I want the channels to be in HD or even 4k if that is even possible as I have a 100mbit connection and it is very stable.
I want a good mix of Sports (EPL, AFL, NBA) Movies (in HD) and Entertainment (TV shows & Comdey).
Currently I was looking at HDsubs: http://hdsubs.co
They have about 200 channels and pretty much all in HD with an awesome mix of sports. The one thing that caught my eye was they provide their own app, and I tested it for 3 days and it is so much faster than using Kodi. Streams load in like 5 seconds as apposed to 30 seconds with Kodi. It was kinda like just flicking through TV, and thats the experience I want. Only downside is they're $255US a year and I think I can do better.
The other one I was looking at was IPTV Channels. Anyone have any experience?
Can anyone make any suggestions? I want something that is faster than Kodi so having their own app is a bonus. IPTV Channels looks decent for price and how many HD channels they provide... they just don't provide a trial so I have no idea what they're like.
Cheers!
I signed up for a 1 day free trial and then decided to pay for a 1 month subscription from April 9 until May 9, 2016.
I'm using Openelec running KODI on my raspberry pi.
Setup: 3 out of 5 (intermediate) You need to add the iptvsubs repo to kodi and install 2 addons. You must install the video addon first and then the epg updater. But before you install the epg updater, you need the PVR IPTV Simple Client and adjust the EPG time shift to your time zone.
EPG: 4 out of 5 (good) Mostly correct programming and it updates daily. In KODI when you go to the channel list or guide, all the programming is laid out pretty well for you. This is really nice.
Stream Quality: 2.5 out of 5 (meh) I noticed most channels are not 720p, even though KODI displays the 720p branding. I looked at the statistics overlay and see that video is actually at 1024x576 resolution (not 1280x720). The overall bitrate averages around 1.5Mbps.
Programming: 4 out of 5 (great channel lineup) I mainly watch sports and noticed that there's even PPV events -- this is a great bonus! However there are some channels that never work like BBC NEWS. If the US channel for the event is flakey, then I'll try and find the same program from the UK -- this has worked pretty well sometimes.
Rush hour / heavy utilization: 1 out of 5 (poor, lots of buffering) If there's a big event like NBA playoff games or Premiere League games, there's constant buffering and it's very annoying. Sometimes the audio will cut out or the stream will just stop completely. This never recovers until the event is over.
Channel hopping: 1 out of 5 (poor) This is very poor, it takes at least 10 seconds to load a new channel. I analyzed what is going on in the background and what happens is that the first request is to server called http://2.welcm.tv:8000 (with your username/password in plain text in the HTTP GET url request). Then it takes about 10 seconds for that response to come, which will then redirect you to another site where the video actually plays from. Once the redirect response is received, the loading of the video is actually quite fast. I'm guessing this is how they make sure you can only use 1 client at a time to access their service.
Suggestions for improvements: If iptvsubs can actually deliver 1280x720 video @ 3-4Mbps and have enough bandwidth for live sporting events so that clients don't buffer, that would be great -- I wouldn't even mind paying more. Currently I resubbed another month only because I don't think there's anything better.
In my opinion my priority would be:
