IPTV and the Firestick

Morning all, can anybody recommend a service provider for IPTV that uses the Amazon firestick? My current provider runs out in January and I’m looking for a system that doesn’t buffer ( I’ve recently changed my fibre provider and get good speeds).

Many thanks and stay safe
Owen

The first thing you should do is to get rid of all the junk on the Firestick

Hi! I have seen in various newspapers that many of the IPTV broadcasts are going to end in January and others are going to give many cuts. Apparently they want to end the broadcast on IPTV. Many of the MAG BOX models will be discontinued in January.

Yes they are trying to get rid of the illegal IPTV providers but they can not get rid of the legal ones
The MAG boxes will be the older ones I believe as they cannot conform to the new standards in IPTV

Yes it is. I think that in the end the best solution will be to have the television with the antenna...as always...

A lot of the MAG boxes won't play 4K or HEVC files - MAG 250, 254, 256, 322, 349 - not that there is much 4K live content, but there are 4K films.

Informir the company that produces the MAGs and built their company on the hardware and software for IPTV services have the ability to block boxes & force software updates which can also cause problems (even if software updates settings are off).

There are other solutions available - for those suggesting Amazon Firestick - thats a long way from the best solution, a cheap option - for a reason. Both for IPTV & Satellite, for those wanting international content. Better hardware available.

For local Spanish content - as mentioned above an antenna for terrestrial is free and Canal+ is the Spanish version of UK Sky - just don't expect everything in multiple languages.
