IPTV Box enquiry

by el_badz

So I'm considering an iptv service soon (possibly epicstreams or fabiptv), but I'm wondering which box will suit my needs best.

I understand that for a pure iptv experience, it's best to get the mag254 or dreamlink t1 (most likely out of my budget). However, I also want to have a good android (kodi) experience too.

I remember a while back, I tested dreamstreams on my low budget android box and my friend's Minix Neo X8-H. Both of them had the same issue, especially with sports. The movement wasn't as smooth as what would come through the satellite feed, even at lower quality.

I have to say, I'm impressed with the quality of epicstreams and fabiptv. I've tried them both on vlc and there were no issues. I'm wondering if the issues I had with dreamstream was because I was using an stb emulator rather than a box made for iptv?

If I use Kodi, I tell it to adjust the FPS on playback. That seems to sort a lot of 'non-smooth' issues out for me.

I use Kodi on a Raspberry pi 3 with OSMC. Works great and I have no complains, very cheap as well.

What's your budget?

I would recommend the latest Firestick. Fast enough to run Kodi, Perfect Player and STB Emulator.
Best of all it has working Netflix, Hulu and Amazon... so it can be an all in one box.

Why don't you try Easybox Iptv ? The IPTV function is great. Perfect for anybody looking for all of the channels they cannot usually get!

Are you in the US? If so, I have Elite Streams and a MiBox which works amazing, has official Google Android TV OS and is very powerful. The service itself was only like £80/year or so and it works pretty well. Occasional buffering on some channels but overall works great. Oh and they have super quick customer service.
