Helix always down

by The_Voski

Is Helix always down for others? New to IPTV and it never loads any channels most of the time now.

Helix has been garbage since their migration to new panel. Been trialing a couple and have been decent.

Looking for quality UK and USA sports

wattashot

Yeah, I'm done with them now. Service has been awful for months, I know there's been problems, and I get that they're dealing with challenges due to recent events, but I basically only pay it for the footy and it's been unwatchable. Will look elsewhere.

ShadowMoogle

Yeah, exact same issue right now, whenever you want to watch it for something it breaks, useless, I won't be renewing again

majypoo

Used to be really good, but can't watch fuck all lately

jjgoon

Been dreadful at peak times since the 'incident'. Works slightly better when no major sports events are on though, which says to me they are over subscribed. They are a shadow of what they once were unfortunately.

KetDonk

They are shit at the moment, I'm looking for another provider but unsure on who to go with

Spedly

I'm watching Helix right now. But I wasn't able to connect a couple of hours ago. They've definitely been having problems since D-Day.

skomes99

I was going to make a post too.

Been having lots of outages but I think my IP is getting blocked and it isn't actually the service going down. When I log a ticket, some of the reps can unblock and I can watch again. Some of the reps don't understand how to unblock.

So I can't tell if Helix is down or its just blocking people randomly. This has been ongoing for weeks.

Helix isn't good for any sports. Had it for a month and was absolutely fed up.

zigzagzigalo

Same issues here- super flaky recently. On the whole, I find that some channels are fairly consistent while others are fairly consistently shitty. I use their m3u with npvr to record, and definitely know it's a server issue because my recordings end up missing big chunks.

I'm also looking for a new provider: preferably with m3u access, catch up and us/uk sports. Anyone?

joemackg

Yep. Helix is struggling lately for sure!

e_mortal

It seems to go in a cycle. The whole thing goes down, then they get it back within 20 or 30 mins but with no EPG/catchup. Then the EPG comes back bit by bit and by a day or so later most of it works fine, then the whole thing goes down again.

Huerrbuzz

You are probably right. Like I said its my back up though and every time I need it, it works.

saggy777

It's still down

alex8155

this would mean the same thing for premium right?

i had been looking to try them out but sounding like not worth it.

noelraff

Yea mine been shocking and the bawbags at helix blocked me on Twitter. What is decent out there for the footballs 3pm and most UK and USA sports. And most importantly reliable.

Bigoldboy40

I use Helix with Tivimate on my shield, and I have built my own EPG. This way, the EPG is never wrong and all works well, including catchup. Yes, some channels disappear for a bit but with so many channels there is usually another one working that plays what I want to see.

clintonred

Hey...What box do you have?

fatty2by4

Yep

servo386

im usually pretty happy with Helix when others havent and I've been pretty understanding since the big shakeup and theyve been ok since then BUT this weekend was a complete shit show. I couldnt watch almost anything. Hoping they made some big change

sunnydubz

Not just Helix all of my providers have went down as of 10 minutes ago.

ilyatbn

Same. Had quality/buffering issues with the F1 channel all weekend and before the race it died completely with the rest of the channels. Thank god for Ace Stream.

speller2688

Used them before the bust and they were great. Since though they have been shit. Have got another service who is pretty decent now and shits all over helix. They always use the epg as an excuse and tbh it’s bollox

Tallaghtban90

My IPTV is down all day

DiGiTaL_pIrAtE

Is that whats going on!? Dam, My expiration was yesterday and I paid today, but it hasn't activated yet. i was wondering why it didnt renew, dam

hddbunker

i was using helix but every few days they announce they are offline for some reason , i moved to stviptv ( stviptv.com ) so satisfied Plus there are some good reviews here https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTVReviews/comments/dr7ypu/my_review_on_stviptv/

andy8992

It pisses me off cause I need a catch up sub. Nearly all that are advertised are just helix rebrands. I find their excess of channels clunkly and unorganized. If nitro weren't expensive I'd go with them

nxgenguy

NFL games worked till about 1pm pst then they went down.

MRobi83

Mines been terrible since the big event as well. I only have it for Canadian sports networks (tsn and Sportsnet) and they seem to have been down more often than up lately.

sychox51

I cant even connect to purchase the next month of service. was good for a few months.. ☹️

LickMyKnee

Watched the F1 without any issues, but it shit the bed once I switched channels.

bandicoot68

Best I've had . Only just resubbed . Wasn't available after everything that went on .

1968storm

atlthunderdan

quindaroboy

IPTVSOLUTIONS

It's not just helix for last month it's been happening because of xtream codes take down. They are working to migrate to new platform and they are also trying to work out all the bugs at the same time.

JumpStre3t

I’m using Hive

nxgenguy

Are you guys referring to helix hosting?

It’s been working for me must fine.

Which channels are down?

I am in the states and for movie channels works great for the games sometimes I use a vpn and then it works.

I am still testing a theory think my isp spectrum killing my signal for games unless I use a vpn

quindaroboy

Pm us and we will set u up right now !

reseller2019

I got a service that works awesome. 10$ a month for 2 connections. Message me for a trial

1flight1dest

Nah f the UK channels that's what everyones done lol. Sports of course.

1flight1dest

No one spends $50. max what my customers pay is $18.75 for 2 connections. Or $28.75 for 4 TV's.

We were one of the first ones to come back up without the issues of streaminy etc.

All USA And working like a charm.

Only thing we're lacking and not even a big deal is 24/7 channels but we have most of them back up.

Sure the next guy has 8000 channels but do you really care?

bandicoot68

Should get bbtv all day long

1flight1dest

Nope USA based only. Y'all's countries ruin it for the rest of us lol.

Efloria1

PM me so I can make your life better :)

1flight1dest

I sell mine for 18.75 USA based none of that bs, but can't bitch about cheap pricing but terrible service. Lol

clintonred

smorbo08

$7/mo USA package https://sales.thunder-tv.com/cart.php?gid=12 . UK and other packages available as well. No UK sports though, won't carry due to UK leagues hawking the feeds so much.

1flight1dest

Glad mines not down, you pay cheap prices you get cheap results.

Huerrbuzz

Nope always works, it's my back up though
