A Few Questions from a newbie

by neverruntwice

Thinking about getting a subscription.

Apologies if these have been asked before.

  1. Do we need a STB to access IPTV? I'm in my office quite a bit and would like to be able to view content on my laptop through the browser or something.

  2. Are all content providers pretty much the same? I see a lot of options on Kijiji but want something reliable and has the most channels, especially Canadian content.

Thanks

  • 1 - No. There are many different ways to view without using a dedicated STB. Kodi is a popular option.
  • 2 - No, kinda. Depends on the channels you are looking for. Some providers specialize in European content, some on South Asian content, some HD sports. A lot of them will have a little of each. I would suggest you look at the channel list from the recommended sticky post here and pick the one that has the best bang for your buck.

The one I went with is TVonIp.in

Decent Canadian content. No outages since I've had them (1 month). Works in Roku. Android app is decent now. Overall good enough for me. Wife hasn't complained too which was a plus.

Edit

Forgot to add they have a Windows app but haven't tried that.
