Do all IPTV providers go into standby mode after a few hours?

by chadherrella

I was trying to record a certain IPTV channel that my IPTV provider has not added to the catch up channels yet. I was hoping to record the channel right before leaving for work. But when I did a record test...i noticed that after a few hours the IPTV would go into a standby mode.

Anyone know of an IPTV service that does not go into standby?

Standby is a local setting on the box you are using to play iptv

Wrooong, this can be setup by the the service itself to cut off a box if it's online "to long" to avoid getting channels stolen. Many services have a time frame of 6h then it will shut down the box automatically.

I don't think providers go into. Standby, maybe its the app/device you use to record?

It's your ISP. They do it. AT&T does it to me.

A lot of cheap services run their channels On Demand meaning they arent streaming constantly and only start a channels stream when a user selects the channel. Which causes a longer delay in channel switching and can cause issues with recording. Quality providers stream their channels 24/7 which costs more but is well worth the price difference in my opinion. I offer 2 different services that both offer constant channel streaming . PM me if your interested in trying one of them out so you can see the difference.
