Hi everyone, hope you're all safe & well!

My very first post on here and I'm an IPTV newbie having only started experimenting over the last few weeks so please bear with me haha!

Recently I got Formuler's entry level box (Z nano) and after some trials, an IPTV subscription I'm very happy with. I gave that box to a relative, they're over the moon with it (my gran bless her).

Anyway...

So good was that experience - Lovely cable like experience with attractive UI design that I felt confident 'stepping up'.

As I'm into retro gaming(I'm getting old sniff,sniff) I got myself an nvidia shield pro - great specs, multiple functionalities, win/win or so I thought.

Going with the same IPTV subscription, I tested the service on what looked to me the most popular players - TiviMate & IM Player.

Whilst the service works fine for some reason to my eyes I can notice what seems like less detail in the images (resolution) colours don't seem as vivid, an the UI not as polished (appearance and responsiveness on flicking channels, menus).

Admittedly, these are the free versions of those two players, I wonder if somehow those issues would resolve by going with the paid versions but I can't see how that would solve a thing as besides extra features.

To me these issues would be affected by bandwidth, internet connection speed/stability.

My set up is the same as the Formuler - 50Mbps internet speed connected to the box via ethernet cable. Same TV a Sony Bravia HDR 1080p TV, same IPTV subscription.

Is Formuler's IPTV UI so specialized that even though specs wise compared to the Nvidia shield pro they're world's apart but even so they're just a better IPTV experience?!

Feedback greatly appreciated!
