Paul I have downloaded an app to my TV and am using that....4000 channels apparently from all.over the world.
I am assured my wifi is the reason for it juddering....
It may not be. Problem is without checking on another providers internet won't know for sure.

I've seen / tested a silly amount of IPTV services, we are usually approached by companies wanting to partner with us or test their services for distribution, so rarely a day goes by where something is not around to test. I've tried a lot of these 1000's of channels for 'peanuts' type services - €50? or maybe a little more for the year - the issue is economically these don't stack up. I found often issues with channels and my conclusion was to hit the price they were selling and and aware of the hosting expenses associated - the only way to be 'cheap cheap' is to oversell and stretch the service too far. Most of theses companies, are an individual, re selling a resold service multiple times.

Key point is to achieve a very low price point you have to get far more people on the same server / bandwidth - so you could by into a service for €50 a year, which is all over the shop, you could buy a service at €200 + per year, which on the surface offers many of the same channels - difference? Cheaper service has 1000's on a server, way more than the bandwidth will allow and systems fall over. You simply can't do 4000 channel reliably for anything less than a fortune!

So - could be the service you are using....Wi Fi is a variable and depending on distance to router / amount of walls / floors in between will all be a factor.

Additionally speed tests can't really be treated with any degree of accuracy as the ISP's know they are being speed tested! Also no measure for ongoing stability - just a 30 second or so snapshot.

I'd be inclined initially to test another similar TV service, so when you are having an issue with current one, you can do a 'back to back' test.
