A Simple Guide To IPTV
Hardware Requirements
Unlike Sat or Cable the hardware is quite cheap to buy. An example of stuff to buy.
· MX box if you want a wired connection.
· Mag box
· Amazon Firestick
· You can use your Enigma 2 sat box, although they are not very good in my experience as they are not designed for iptv.
Software
You will need to add some software to your chosen device in order to connect to your server, here are some examples.
· Kodi
· Lazy IPTV
· Smart Iptv
· Iptv Player
· VLC
Once you have chosen you service provider you just simply add the url supplied or upload the M3U file to your chosen software. To do this is normally self explanatory once you start the software.
EPG
You can easily add a EPG for your IPTV service I may do a TUT later just Google. It’s not that hard to find, it is normally a 24 hour epg and updated daily.
Benefits of IPTV
· More Channels
· HD on the decent service providers
· No glitches
· It is not affected by the weather like sat
· Easy to setup
Downsides
· It is more expensive than sat or cable for a decent server
· You will need good constant internet speeds I recommend at least 8 – 10 meg
· HD is normally not quite as sharp
