Using IPTV from King-Box. Need Help/Advice.

by ChiaBanana

I have my laptop permanently connected to my TV though an HDMI so I got the m3u playlist for IPTV on VLC. KODI shat and couldnt process my size of playlist. STBEMU on Bluestacks is slow as snail in mud.

The provider sent me an EPG link that I can customize using my username and password. Did not work. Sent emails but the seller is now non-responsive.

I have a rather long term subscription and therefore I want to get a box which I can use with ease to view guide and stream on TV.

My questions for the experts here are:

  • What box should I get? (I need a box with Wifi because there is no ethernet connectivity near the box) I am using king-box server. He said not to get 254 but 322 or 351 are good. I dont know why he said that. (Links to buy in US will be super helpful, if you are selling and can ship fast I am interested as well)..

  • Will having a box get me access to guide automatically adjusted for my location and times?

thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU for your responses.

EDIT 1: I got a Firestick. Installed IPTV Smarters Pro app on it (There is an app on Android phone that helps you install apps on Firestick via Wifi, basically sideload apps on Firestick without much hassle. That is how I installed IPTV Smarters on Firestick). Setting up IPTV smarters is a piece of cake. Everything works. The only problem that I have is the number of wasteful channels/groups on my m3u link.

All in all, $29.99 stick resolved everything, including EPG (used a different source, not the one provided by my provider)..

Nvidia Shield for under 200 bucks on Amazon is considered the go to box. IPTV Smarters app is pretty darn good and close enough to an STB that my wife and kids can use it. Of course it will run lots of apps, Perfect Player, VLC, MX Player, Kodi are all popular. Not to mention the included gaming features at no additional cost that might add value or might not. But the hardware is pretty much top tier and it gets regular updates. Recently got an update to support 2160p/120hz screen mode for instance. Supports latest HDMI and HDCP standards so all of the popular Netflix 4K HDR, YouTube 4k, Hulu, Amazon Prime 4k HDR all works.

I'm using king box on an Nvidia shield with iptv smarters app....works great....a regular android box would also do the job as well, but I wouldn't know what to recommend other than the shield

I find king-box also works great on Formuler z7+, it's more like a tv experience, but worse hardware then the shield.
Question, what do you mean they sent you an epg link?
I'm.also a king-box subscriber and would like to remove some.countries i do not use.

If the epg file from your provider doesnt work, changing hardware will not help. It wont magically create a file for you. You need to find a different source for epg.

Former z7+ is a great box, but the wifi is horrible. I had to hard wire a router in repeater mode to get good quality!

AirTV IPTV, the IPTV service I recently used, has EPG and 101 channels have playback. They offer trial before purchase services. At present, the use is still very satisfactory, there is no problem

Afternoon,

You have gone the route I would of suggested. It's a cheap but modern reliable solution so I'm glad it's working for you :)

You mentioned an app for your phone that can sideload apps to a Firestick? I currently do this on the Firestick with Downloader. Your way sounds easier :D
