iptv on android box- help setting it up like normal cable browsing

Question

hi all,

i would appreciate some help. Im setting up an iptv (helix) for my dad who's old and not tech savvy.

I've seen many videos on youtube where people scroll through channels on android boxes just like having cable tv, but for some reason it doesnt work that way on my android box. I tried iptv extreme, gse iptv, perfect player. they all seem to have the same limitation. very very counter intuitive browsing- like i cant just hit a down/up button on the remote to get my list and browse channel after channel. its always some longwinded way to get back to my groups/lists and then select channels.

what am i doing wrong? is there a good guide for how to set up the players so that they behave just like cable when running up and down a channel list?

I'm using M3U playlists

many thanks,
D

Smarters does the up/down channel change. Best is to set him up with all his favourite channels in the Favourites group and then start in that group.

As others have said TiviMate... and the premium is just a few bucks a year and worth it

You could try an e2 box...something like zgemma or mutant box wich you can use as a cable set top box..but you'll have to buy a box..they run on enigma 2 software.....YouTube for more information I run it on it and it's basically like normal tv set-up..
