IPTV Newbie Hardware Question

by jbooth75

Hello!

While I am not a newbie to IPTV, I am looking to purchase some hardware to watch without always having to use my laptop. Right now, I primarily use my laptop connected to either of my two Roku TV's. My current subs are Jarvis and Fast IPTV as my primaries and I also have 1vision and Boss-GE Server as backups. So, I would be looking for something that works with all of those.

I am looking at Amazon Firesticks as the best affordable way to go. But, I know nothing about them and how they work. Looking now on Best Buy and I see ones that say Media Player and ones without. Which one do I need?

My basic questions are....what is the best firestick to use, that is affordable and also easy to set up with my IPTV services? I see some of my IPTV providers have apps. Will those apps work with firesticks...or, is it just using a program that utilizes m3u? Will this all work on my Roku TV's? I know Roku has cracked down on anything that violates copyright, including IPTV.

Thanks!

stay away from Roku; horrible for IPTV. Firestick 4k with Perfect Player (or TiviMate) is great.

Nvidia shield by far is the best

I use Firesticks as my devices. They were doing a discount on Firestick 4Ks on Amazon over the weekend and I’m not sure if they still have that discount or not. You don’t have to get them with the media player because you can just download VLC or MX as your players anyways. As long as they have an apk file link for their app, you’ll be able to download that services app via Downloader on the Amazon App Store or you could use something like Tivimate or IPTV Smarters and run your m3u and epg through that.

I had roku it was slow ui. I got 4k firestick it was alright not bad I had to use STB simulator to play since the provider didn't have their own app. Then I got mag 324 w2 and so far been working great. Came across buffering but its fixed now.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I might even go with the Nvidia shield in the end.

If you're looking to simulate the experience of a cable company style guide we recommand the Forumler Z7+ or Formuler Z8 . They are on the higher end in terms of price and stability. As well as their app being far suppier to anything else out there.
