What I want in an IPTV Client

by BrianErdelyi

Good day. There are a few features I'd like in an IPTV client for my TCL Android TV. Maybe a client already exists or I'm doing something wrong.

When IPTV client launches, immediately play last (or default/preferred) channel. Alternatively, go directly to EPG.
Ability to map the Guide button on my remote to EPG.
Program shorts cuts using other keys on my remote.
Entering or editing URLs with a virtual keyboard is tedious. I'd like a method that simplifies this.
Ability to hide and/or group channels based on my own preferences

Thanks for all the help in advance.

TiViMate, iMPlayer and OTT Navigator all do (most of) this.

Buy formuler z8. It has everything you listed and more. I know this doesn't answer your issue but haven't found any apps that does that

Don't all android boxes support usb keyboards? You don't have to use the onscreen one.

Kodi does all this.
