There's no way I'd pay a year up front.

One of the reasons why I changed provider,even though it costs slightly more.

The provider I use now and have done for well over a year it's £7.99 per month or £19.99 for a year. Just makes sense to sign up for a year with this provider.

£19.99 a year?

CheshireDave · « **Reply #1363 on:** January 5, 2020, 07:45:51 am »

Yes mate. 19.99 a year for 1 connection. 29.99 for 2. Or they'll sell you a box with it all installed for 49.99 or 59.99 can't remember.

Can I just say although I have been using this site for a good 18 months with no issues (except when everyone's was down a couple of months back) if they disappear tomorrow don't blame me. I'd always recommend people sign up for a 24 hours, a week or month and see what they think before subbing for a year. I have absolutely zero affiliation to this provider and only know about them from a recommendation ages ago. That said they do provide a very good service and their android and windows apps work a treat.

I've had this on my firestick for the last 10 months now its been okay but when got issues and it buffers and doesn't work the guy blames my internet connection. I have sky fibre . My mate has it on his fire stick has the same issues sometimes but he is Fibre to the property so its no issue with the broadband. does anyone else have issues with it ? I find if am using BT it sticks so I normally tend to watch the football on the live premier league cat or usa channels.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #1369 on:** January 6, 2020, 02:14:51 pm »

It's unlikely to be your connection. Especially if you're on Fibre. I am able to watch UHD streams on a 4G connection on my phone with little to no buffering. Which shows you don't need a mega 20+ meg line to view streams. Having next had a firestick I am not sure how they work. But does the provider you use offer an android app (.apk) which you could install on a phone or tablet to see if it runs any better on there? This would go someway to proving it's either an issue with their connection or the firestick.

WhereAngelsPlay · « **Reply #1370 on:** January 6, 2020, 03:45:01 pm »

Fire sticks can run anything you throw at them,do all of the channels buffer or just some & what app are you using ?

Yeah I refresh and then go to apps and clear Catcha its working fine the now but it seems to be when watching BT.

the guy am using says it get beamed from Italy and he has his own service what is a bit dearer. I had it for a month when it went down in October worked better because he had more control over it.

Been using Cyberflix more for TV and Movies a lot better than IPTV. don't mind it for live tv but it buffers still got a basic sky package but cant take the risk watching Liverpool on IPTV so go to the pub

SalisburyRed · « **Reply #1376 on:** January 14, 2020, 05:19:24 pm »

Does anyone use a service which provides Sky Sports and BT Sport in 50fps? I see BT's channels in 50fps from time to time, I think because their own streaming service is available in that frame rate, but the vast majority of the time Sky's channels are 25fps, which looks crap on the TV (it's bearable on an iPad or phone screen). I got Sky Sports Football in 50fps the other day, which appeared to be using a regular TV broadcast as a source rather than Now TV, but that's definitely a rarity.

I used to find it more bearable when I lived in the UK because I got Sky Sports and BT Sport via Virgin so rarely needed to use IPTV when watching on an actual TV. Any US streams tended to be 60 fps, too, and our 3pm games were often on NBCSN. I live in the US now and would really like to watch, for example, the cricket on my TV. The rights to the current South Africa v. England series are owned by Willow TV whose own streaming service is only 30 fps. (I've balked at the cost of cable over here, at least for the moment—$100 per month on top of the $45 I pay for internet.)

Try Supersports (South African) or Fox Sports Australia, they carry the cricket too and much better picture than the Sky one plus it's the same feed. Assuming your Provider has those channels of course...

WhereAngelsPlay · « **Reply #1380 on:** January 15, 2020, 11:28:20 pm »

Marvel usually have BT and Sky at 50fps but there are a couple of providers that have UHD as well,obviously more expensive.

I only have SuperSport in 25 fps. Fox Sports Australia is 50 fps and looks great although the sound and pictures were hugely out of sync on Fox Sports 501 when I was trying to watch a Big Bash game the other day.

Yep - annoying.

https://twitter.com/hashtag/ipeetv?lang=en - lots of people here speculating as to why. Some saying hacked. Others saying "server issues" and a lot of alternative provides. Guess just have to wait and see what happens.

you'll hear all sorts, its hacked, its gone, its coming back, the world will end etc

waiting game as you said, they came back after the issues in september so you never know

at least it was only 35 quid in september. it was gone for a chunk of that but still worth it

CheshireDave · « **Reply #1394 on:** January 23, 2020, 02:42:38 pm »

Yeah, price seems to fluctuate. It was £19.99 for a year not long ago. But now up to 40 odd. I think I paid £29.99 about 8 months ago. So if it does go I will be a bit annoyed as it was a great service but not the end of the world.

SalisburyRed · « **Reply #1398 on:** January 26, 2020, 10:20:47 pm »

Helix went down at the end of last year. No website, no one to pay, nothing being offered on Twitter or other support channels. Despite that, the service is still working and new channels are sometimes being added. It's a bit odd, and I guess it could all go down at a moment's notice, but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts.

I've had IPTV basically since it existed. If your provider goes down you can have a new one up and running within the hour. Well worth the money over paying through the nose for Sky, BT and every other c*nt that wants to rip off sports fans.
