Device Recommendation for M3u IPTV

by JJustcaring

Hello everybody. I have been testing IPTV streams via M3u feeds with my current devices. I have a 2018 Roku Ultra which I have set up a private channel to stream my M3u which has worked great with no buffering but does not support EPG. I have older Android TV box from 2017 with 2 gig ram and it supports EPG, but buffers more on the same ethernet feed as the Roku on the same channel at the same time. So my conclusion, is that I need the latest device with Max Horsepower to use a car analogue to get the best streaming experience. So can somebody recommend devices that fit the following profile. 1st profile Device that has a Ethernet port, 4k, optical and has Os that can accept epg and M3u feeds. Also can be used for Netflix, Amazon, Youtube to be stream other sources. 2nd profile is a device that has great wifi connectivity, Hopeful Wifi 5 or 6 and can take Epg & M3u feeds. 4k is not important or optical as these are bedroom tvs on the second floor of our home. Not interested in MAG devices as from what I understand they are only a one purpose device. If I am wrong please educate me.

Thanks

Devices like the Z8 and T3 accept m3u links as well as subs via MAC. Both these devices have way better remotes than the shield, but if you want an even better remote than what comes with either of these, get a harmony 650.

Tivimate. Hands down. On 4k firestick

Thanks to all for the comments,

Seems the Nvida Shield is a big hit, but interesting enough I will be looking at some Mag devices as some folks have suggested here. Also realize that sub I finally go with should be rock solid. The one I am testing currently seems to work fine. But hard to gauge as I believe I do not have the right device to get the most out of the stream. Considering we could be self isolating our selves for 2-3 months, Need to have some great viewing options.

Shield is definitely the way. If you're having second thoughts about the price - the mi box s is also fantastic and can be found for just over $50 at Walmart. Both with tivimate and you're all set. Can also use with cosmidvr and live channels to record.
