New to IPTV, purchased a Mag 254, testing some providers. My interest is the best available EPG with performance and look like the old satellite providers. I've see a few screenshots and they look amazing. I just can't seem to find the correct combination of hardware and provider. Read about the Avov and Roku as well as the Mag. Suggestions?
TL;DR what's the best hardware and provider combo for US/CAN channels with superior EPG?
EPG info for you mag, as well as the avov and dreamlink etc all come from the stalker server. So the information there will all be the same.
That said, how they are displayed and the GUI could be different.
The closest thing I've seen to a "old satellite provider" interface is the Dreamlink T1.
The ROKU won't even work with these services at all and should be avoided (although someone posted a link to stalker middleware 5.0 for roku, and if this is true this could change everything). In the meantine, forget tv on the ROKU, or any other box walmart sells.

This question you ask has been mentioned many many times, and a simple search through IPTV would have found what you are looking for :)
