Any thoughts or recommendations?
I bought my pops an android box last year for kodi and whatever other shit is on there but it's obviously shit and only works 10% of the time or I need to bring it to somebody to update whatever services it's searching for movies/tv shows.

I've done a bit of reading and it seems that if you actually pay, the service is much better.
So any recommendations for an IPTV service that will work well in Canada, or even just your thoughts on the pros/cons/alternatives?
Ultimately I'd just like something that gets him new release movies with a bonus being access to international stations like all of the Italian RAI stuff.

I don't personally use it, but my co worker swears by vader's IPTV from RFD.

Not sure what my buddy has.

He gets all the new movies, porn, ESPN 1,2,3,4,5.... Canadian channels, American channels, foreign channels ....

$30-35 month? $130 a year? I just remember 3 being there.

It's cheap, but when you watch Sport channels, you notice it's streaming.
A bit of wait at start up, not as quick as cable TV navigating channels.

I donno... I think I prefer cable.

It's for my dad, only thing he really cares about is new release movies and Italian stations. Just trying to find an option that works 95% of the time.

So, back up a bit for the newb ... What *ideally* would you need to get this IPTV shit working?

I assume either a Windows PC, or some kind of Android box?

What do you run on Win/Android box to get these things streaming? Kodi??? (Last time I tried Kodi on PC, I was so fucking confused with which server to connect to for plug-ins, etc.)

I have a 10-yr old Win10 PC I could try running Kodi on again to see if IPTV pans out ... Spending $100/mth on Rogers is kinda cray.

I currently only really watch:
- CP24, CNN, A&E, Discovery, CTV/Global/etc for shows, tiny bit of FairChild if parents are here, little to no sports.

From the few that I have seen, they don't run Kodi as their interface. Yes Kodi might be installed on the box as an app, but the IPTV service doesn't run on it. Most boxes will run some form of Android but some require to run on a MAG box (versus a PC or standard Android/Linux box).

Buy an Android Box (I recommended BuzzTV XPL3000) and there is a built-in program for LiveTV (assuming you paid the IPTV provider for service) and you can stream all the channels.
There are Gold and Crown server. I am on Gold and my cousin is on Crown. Both servers are quite similar but not all channels are the same. If you want the Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) channels then go with Crown server.

Fairchild doesn't work on my cousin's box and I have confirmed with my supplier that the Fairchild, FairChild 2, FairChild West are not available on the server side.

You don't need KODI if you are paying for IPTV. KODI is for people who want to stream stuffs for free and don't have IPTV.

Currently using iptv (dreamlink t1 plus box) and usually subscribe to either Zeus iptv which he has a bunch of different services or iptvexpressreseller.

From all the services I've tried a like express the most.

The catchup feature is where it's at if you miss shows or sports.

Also some resellers have tests/trials where you can test the service out for 24hrs to see if you like it.

So .... FWIW, I paid a random Kijiji dude $150 via eInterac for some IPTV credits ... i.e. 25 months x 2000 channels, and access to a "reseller" panel.

Will be split up with a friend of mine, who did it for me the past year.

Confusing as fuck, insecure as fuck.
- He has my phone number, cuz I contacted him via WhatsApp
- He has my email address, and my name, cuz, my email has my name
- He has a 'paper trail' of me asking paying for illegal services
- He has my username/password on the 'reseller panel', cuz you can't fucking change the password on the site, only through him.

Shady as fuck. Now I don't know wtf to do. Will probably have to Zoom session with my buddy to walk me thru it in the next few days.

---

In summary:
- Service provider: OK2 (1 connection, 1 credit, 1 month)
- Paying $6.25/mth for 2000 channels of high-quality audio/video
- All my local Toronto/Ontario/Canadian channels I want, including Fairchild
- Video On Demand movies, and series/episodes
- Buffering: maybe once every 2-3 days. Buffering was terrible during new year's eve countdown.
- Box: Formuler Z8

How r u liking the box? What did u pay for it and where?

Thinking of picking one up to replace my t1+ cuz I think it's going. Sometimes the channels freeze and doesn't respond to remote presses even though I see the led blink when I press the remote. And flat out doesn't respond and tells me to shut it down or wait.

I picked up the Formuler Z8 box off Amazon. $180 https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07N1X3WSS

The world of Android IPTV boxes is confusing and shady as fuck.

Formuler is the 'higher-end' brand of Dreamlink. Formuler is the one with apparently one of the best (if not THE besT) EPG, i.e Electronic Programming Guide.

Not sure if it's JUST Formuler boxes, but ... When people ask you for your MAC Address, give them the "ID" value, not the MAC Address... it'd be the wrong value.
I don't have much experience with other boxes. This thing works, it's solid. It can also do time-shift recording etc but that's too much for me.

how can i get cp24 and/or other canadian channels for free like global and CTV? thinking about cutting the cable, got a fire stick and between netflix, amazon and disney + that's pretty much all of the tv we watch. kid doesn't watch cable, nothing is ever good on it so we don't, just a few channels that i think we can purchase through amazon for a fraction of what cable costs me.

Just picked up another Android IPTV box: Formuler Z8 Pro. $160 cash in Markham.

I'm kinda/sorta/maybe getting the hang of setting up a box and credits. Still confusing as fuck, but it works, it doesn't hang/buffer that much, and overall, for $6/mth for 2000 channels, damn.

UPDATE: added more details on where I got it. I walked into their headoffice of http://www.dreamlink.ca ...

Negotiate with them, no tax, no receipt, etc... They're in Markham. They're the same people posting a number of Kijiji ads all the time (If you search their phone number, you'll find all the ads)

UPDATE 2: The channels have been hanging quite often, to the point it's annoying the wife. We'd have to go into the settings, disconnect and connect the server again.

The fix is to no longer have it on standby/on all the time, i.e. power it off every night (or have it auto-power off after x hours) .... Then on power ON, have it auto-launch the IPTV. Adds quite a bit of time to the loading in the morning, but it's pretty solid after.

So, OK2's been down for a few days (so is OK3), and a friend decided to pick up IPGuys, and he hooked me up with 1 credit.

Buffering on IPGuys is through the roof .... Shit just doesn't stream... (Could be the excess number of people now jumping on their service from OK2)

Looks like I'm gonna try Vader, Gold, or Crown ...

I bought a IPTV box from FMP. $200 for the box and can stream all the asian channels and local basic cable. Paid $100/yr to get all Canadian/US channels plus other countries. Been fine 99% of the time. Been using this for over a year.

CONFIRMED fix for OK2 ...

Update the box URL by removing anything after ".se" ...

Seems this is hush hush shit.. And/or it's not common knowledge just yet / websites haven't updated their setup info...

Here's a youtube video if you don't know what I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Njn8HtkP1Qw
