Mine was in the early years of IPTV and this service came in and undercut everyone, £5 a month £30 for the year that kinda stuff. I took the bait and let me tell you the only channel that worked was BBC 1. Within a week of them starting they disappeared prob making enough in that week to go on a lads holiday lol.

I paid £10 for a month but the instructions were unclear and I ended up getting my dick caught in the ceiling fan.

Almost 3 years ago, I bought a years worth of service from this guy on a forum. It worked for a maximum of 2 days. Not a big deal, it was only and $100 and I learned my lesson decided to be a reseller. Found a guy that was selling panels with credits $5 each with a minimum of 50 credits. Sent the dude the money via crypto and Boom never heard from the dude again. Finally found Nitro and have been with them every since. I’ll occasionally scan this page and look for other unfortunate souls and offer them free service. Being scammed is a horrible feeling and I hate seeing people feel like that.

I brought a Now TV box preloaded with IPTV via plex, about 4 years ago. £75 for the box + a years sub. To be fair the quality of the streams and channels was incredible, but it only lasted 3 weeks and the service went dead and the seller bolted. I've still subbed for a year to another service since then, but only after first trialling a month & then a few batches of 3 months and it worked out fine. Don't think I'd ever sub 12 months again after last weeks events though!

Vader trying to charge me for a service that, at the time had a BROKEN EPG, and NO XML info.

So basically you were left with 8000+ channels that you had no idea what was on. Anyone wanna channel surf that? They actually tried to argue with me and not offer a refund until I pointed out that the entire reason I signed up with their service was the particular reseller/packager I went with had their entire front page talking about their “great addon EPG” and “unparalleled customer service”

After that, signed up with Helix and had a nice middle of the road service. Not very reliable channels, but there were a lot and the EPG info was hit or miss, but at least it was there.

Now I use OK2 and it works astoundingly better than either other one. Most channels are 1080p, some 720 but those are Networks that natively broadcast in 720p anyways, so what’s the point of using a 1080p encoder on a 720p broadcast? A few of the British channels I think are an exception coming in a a weird 520p or something like that, but I just deleted those from my m3u and used their HD counterparts. Not to mention all encoded in 265 so my bandwidth over the past couple months from my television PC has been around HALF or less 👍

Do you think a new person could trust a service now with all that happened recently? Or should I still wait

I got a year subscription off one of the guys who used to work for flawless last December after a year of month subs. Basically since it went down the other week he was nightmare to get a hold of and now is just patching my emails which is annoying since I was going to ask about a second sub. So it’s back to the drawing board for a new one

I was caught up in the great Darkmedia soap opera scam of 2019 where I bought a sub in good faith because I had seen the name for months and stupidly thought the "brand" could be trusted. Nope, instead myself and many others lost money because 2 people at Darkmedia had a fallout.

I did actually get a few days of average iptv then the XC raid came along and my tv went off. Figured it would be back when the dust settled only to find out my sub wasn't actually a sub because the guy I bought it from ( Dark-Darrel ) had fallen out with a guy somewhere else at Darkmedia ( DarkOliv3r ) because he chose to sell his credits cheaper to drum up business but by doing this he would then make DarkOliv3r mad and he would then remove Dark-Darrel account access and then take his anger out on his customers too by removing their accounts.

My fellow discarded subscribers were then given an unexpected reprieve when DarkOliv3r appeared to have changed his mind and promised to honor the subs but again this was just a plot twist as a few days later he once again decided we were not worth the hassle and we were all left without hope, money and a IPTV service.

It has been a rollercoaster of a ride and left me wondering if there are actually only half a dozen people posting in the IPTV forums but using dozens and dozens of aliases. Either way lots of people were just left out of pocket because of an internal issue which you should have sorted out privately.

Its been emotional.

*No idea if the above details are true, just what I got after reading 000's threads

Bought something on the internet. The site would not let me use my credit card only a debit card. My order was through pay pal. Well my debit card was charged and my order never came. The bank won't reimburse me because its a third part seller. My bank statement says paypal but paypal never had the transaction in there record's. I also sent at least 6 emails to the address they provided. This has happened twice. Over $90.00 and not One dime back.
