I’m thinking about getting either one, they are both the same price. Which stick is better for IPTV?

Make sure you get the 4K version of the Fire Stick, the extra 500 MB of RAM makes a huge difference.
Crazy who buys a Ruko, it is a peace of junk .
Neither are particularly good to be honest.
Amazon can do iptv with stbemu, but it's pretty clunky anyway. Roku can't do iptv at all.
Have you looked into Google TV?
don't even bother looking at roku, get the firestick.
Roku is a closed ecosystem and generally a load of crap as a result.
Roku devices are not really good for IPTV, but a 4K firestick is perfect for IPTV…
I use 3xQ boxes all set up for IPTV...
Chromecast with Google TV + TiViMate = look no further
4K Fire Stick is their only stick worth purchasing. It’s a good streamer. Fire Cube has better specs, but higher cost. Roku is locked from side loading due to their closed OS. Roku is clunky and horrible IMO.
The fire cube is so good. Has full Alexa. Tv off np just say Alexa start iptv/plex and it turns your tv on and opens the app. All done? Alexa turn tv off. Yeah chrome cast is great and roku sucks. But the ease and voice control that comes with the Alexa cube or fire cube is so great. My 7 year old and wife love it. Especially if you have all the lights linked up too. Alexa turn on plex and turn the lights down. Boom grab some popcorn.
Fire Stick 4K or better! Don't bother with the base model or the lite model. Many android apps are not compatible with the 2 lower end models. So get the 4K at a minimum and you'll very happy!
Roku doesn’t play nice with IPTV.
But for me, the Firestick 4K and CCwGTV aren’t as stable as the Roku for streaming apps like Plex, Peleton etc.

Roku over Amazon, but pay a bit more to get the chromecast with google TV.
Roku. Avoid Google and Amazon at all costs.
Chromecast with Google TV + TiviMate app, dont get a Roku even if its free
