These streams work just like watching the channels online direct on the website.
For example, you'll only get TV6 from 6am-8am and 6pm-8pm.
Other stations are like this as well.

Gave it a go yesterday. Bought a one month subscription. After figuring out how to get a properly working program guide with the built in PVR for Kodi, I think this is a pretty good cable replacement. >850 channels. Less than 200 in Spanish. My only issue is that most channels aren't HD.. Most in 480p. But for what you're getting at the price, you can't go wrong. All the PPV channels are at least 720p tho.
May try another subscription at the end of the month to see if it has more HD channels.

Was gonna try out SmartIPTV App on this LG WebOS platform I have... trial expired now though. But it has a similar execution with IPTV playlists etc. Didn't get it to work though.

If anyone has one of those LG WebOS Tv's or samsung's, you can try this:

So far, I think swisha route is the best. FireTV + Kodi and subscription.

What sports channels available with the iks66 subscription?

Thinking of trying it for a month. Tired looking for streams. Need something stable with HD quality.

tbh the quality I get on the free Vdubt25 addon is much better than that of the iptv subscription.

What minimum internet speed you guys find work comfortably for using kodi without a problem?
I upgraded from 2MB to 5MB (Blink)....to be honest the improvement wasn't that significant. There is buffering sometimes still on medium quality streams.

yeah and the streams actually work on Vdubt25, except most channels are in SD.

Swisha · Postby **Swisha** » September 1st, 2015, 11:02 am

was referring to the sports channels. The Fox Sports and NBC sports extra channels are usually at least 720p.

really hope Apple is taking this long because the TV package they're coming with is worth it. Got spoilt with Netflix and Amazon video quality to really want to watch anything of lesser quality.

Don't think I'll be renewing that iptv subscription...

Never bothered with those android TV box since I have a PC. Those boxes are basically like my phone or tablet with Android.

On my home PC with Kodi TV, Vdubt25 add-on gave trouble weekend. All in all I get to see all that I want together with Phoenix add-on and fusion.

http://fusion.tvaddons.ag is the starting point for add-ons.

Couple ESPN. Loads of sky sports including F1. BT sport channels. Setanta Sports. Tennis. UFC, golf, etc. the Astro Sports channels in HD. Rest are SD

it's up to preference and situation really - those of us with families and kids that sit and watch TV together the android boxes make more sense. Plus I'd much rather watch a movie on a big screen with 5.1 audio than watch it on a phone or tablet or PC monitor. Yes you can connect your PC to your TV, but unless you are using an HTPC setup with a good universal remote, it is just not as elegant starting up and getting to the content as it is with a set top box.

I'm just saying that some ppl have the misconception that u need an Android box for IPTV & Kodi/XBMC. The programs r available for Linux, Windows, Mac, etc.

My pc is a gaming PC with a nvidia 3D video card and 3d projector with active glasses, 100" screen and audio is 7.1 Dts whatever the sound card does.

When viewing a movie or game on the big screen u can still use the PC monitor for Trinituner or most other stuff.

Mouse & keyboard is an air mouse/keyboard - can't go back to using those mini wireless again.

Dan I have a Flow 30Mbps package and still sometimes I does get lag
(for HD/720p/1080p only though).
I'm guessing a 50Mbps package will suffice?

Jeez..

I remember streaming 720p and 1080p without any lag sometimes. I guess a lot has to do with the host's upload speed...and well, traffic.
