i sell the tx3 along with tx92,i pre program them all with my services apk which is a smarters fork,but most services use perfect player forks,smarters forks,stb emu, etc

Try a bunch. Perfect Player, ProgTV, IPTVSmarters, STBEmu, etc. All have pros and cons. Also, most providers have dedicated apks that you can try. If you are new to this, the dedicated apks are the easiest to deal with. Just download and enter your username and password.

PP requires m3u playlists and can be a pain to set up.

IPTVSmarters uses an API portal with username/password authentication. A bit simpler.

STBEmu requires you to register a MAC address with your provider, which can be limiting in the long run, but might be the simplest interface.

There is an Android TV rom for that box on freaktab. I have one and am using live channels with tvirl on it. Best combo. If that's too technical then perfect player.

I just tried tvirl and live TV on my android TV mi box and added my playlist and epg but all you get is one massive list Inc all vod in alphabetical order. How is this better than perfect player?

Is there some other settings to make it better such as having categories and not having the vod included?
