Don't f*ck about with the firestick. Pay about 60 quid or so for a MAG box.

This is good advice. Try it on a firestick (only if you already have one), then buy a Mag box

Couple of my pals are on this, anyone else use it?

Aye, me (posted the link earlier in the fred).

I've tried a few over the years, and they're the best so far.

Edit: "best so far" in terms of value and quality anyway. I haven't tried the more expensive providers (the ones over £100 per year).

I’m online using Simplicity TV on fire stick, what would be the main benefits for getting a set top box?

Simplicity is a superb service mate, good choice. Only real good reason for getting a set top is 4k content, no good though if you don't have a 4k tv. The box I use is a H96 max

I've been using an app called Tvtap to stream most channels. It's pretty basic and you can't watch on demand but It does the trick for now.

Only problem I have is when I mirror from my phone to my Samsung TV, the brightness on the TV goes right down, while my phone or tablet remains the same. Can't find any settings on the TV to alter the brightness.... any ideas? Cheers

Signed up for this.
20 euros for 3 months : can watch any channel in world you can imagine.
When it works it is incredible.

Watched a few matches on Sky / BT - so easily paid for subscription fee.
Paid in Bitcoin to avoid giving card details 😉
However service does drop out on occasion
i.e last night before Scotland - Israel....

These kind of games should be on more than one channel bud, you scroll through a few folders and log where they are then add to your favourites.

That's it.... Stick all the channel variations in your favourites, and if one starts lagging, switch to the other.

Only times I lhave lost service is when there is too much traffic. PPV boxing and Liverpool v Man City last Sunday. Too be fair as well when this happens they sort it out pretty quickly usually by killing all other channels.

Hmmmm....
Must be something wrong at my end.
I seem to get all 12 000 channels or, on occasion, absolutely nothing.

Set top box is still connected to internet as I can connect to web / google play etc.
However if I try and open the file on my PC to view IPTV with VLC also get nothing.
I reckon it (GENIPTV) works about 60% of the time.

Makes me wonder if internet provider (Virgin) has realised what I am upto and blocked access ?
Any ideas ?

On the back of this thread which I admit was confusing as fuck for me to begin with I finally took out a sub (that is a subscription, dicks) to two different IPTV providers. The worst part by far was identifying two supposedly decent ones. Took out a month sub with each as a test run before going for a longer period.

First thing for the other thickos out there - you don’t need a set top box, fire stick or any other pash or any fancy hardware to do this beyond a PC, tablet, phone. You can run it on a tv but you don’t need to. 

I started with the VLC player on my PC. That was a tad hard going but it did work in the end but only with one sub consistently . The other did not work so well. 

Then I used the GSE app on the iPad and it was excellent on both subs. (Now I see the one that did not like the VLC player on the pc has a huge amount of porn channels... decisions decisions.)

Fuck this thing really is amazing. It has virtually everything I could think of watching. 

Paying by month is the most expensive option but both cost 12-14 euros each! Mental. For that you get not only live tv from every tv channel you could dream of but also on demand tv series and movies. I gorged a bit on breaking bad yesterday. (It definitely loses the plot in ‘season 3’.)

 It is too good to be true or last so get in now and enjoy. Thank you OP.

Glad you tried it and like it, set top box or firestick lets you view it on the tele that's all, and as I pointed out before, I can pack either in my bag and watch it anywhere in the world. Had mine 2 year now

Turning off Broadband shield/homesafe/etc. is often required. Whenever something isn't working my first steps are: 

- Re-boot router
- Clear cache
- Ensure homesafe is turned off

I noticed the iptv providers often sayon their site that if you are in the UK you must use a VPN to use the service. I think the UK internet providers must be very aggressive targeting IPTV users. For example one of the subs I am using does not list any UK channels despite having them all - all the other countries are listed with all channels listed in detail - but not the UK - just says it has UK channels and no details. So if you are using it in the UK without a VPN I expect that is why it does not work so well. Or it is a shit provider. Seems to be worth while going for something slightly more premium. Even the one that was not working so well for me is now almost flawless (only used a few days so far but).

One of the selling points of the one i use is that you don't need a VPN. 

There was one weekend last season where the EPL games were viewable on every IPTV service i know of without using a VPN, except the one i use. I assume most of the other guys have sorted it now though.
