IPTV Raw Streams Discussion Thread

[The Guvnor]

Do these raw streams come with an EPG or is it just a channel list?

With epg aswell bud if provider has assigned epg to them

Up to the supplier. In my case not great only 1 or 2 days.

The one I subscribed to has a full EPG - if you're looking for raw streams then request in the appropriate thread and state that you want a working EPG

Ffs why are people still saying raw 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whilst the concept sounds great, streams that are amazing quality, what's the downside?

Do you need better kit than normal IPTV?

Nope you don’t better kit just a device and tv that can handle the frame rate downsides are sources can stop supplying at any time or they can go down and have to wait for sources to fix which could be an hour to 24hr longest I’ve seen them down is 48hr

It is normal iptv, just with better quality streams for channels that have historically not had such quality streams widely available such as the UK Sky Sports channels.

Unscientific test on Enigma2, the bitrate varies depending on action.
So a kind of eyeball average using SS Cricket.
FHD 25p approx 5-8Mbps
FHD(R) 50i approx 10-15Mbps
Seems to be about 18Mbps on the football when panning

Your technical terminology has really got my head in a twist mate

Quite. If you're already getting your football/F1 etc on reliable streams from say Sparks (1080p50) then these are no better in quality than those. They are not mind-blowing they have merely caught up with other HQ streams (and sat/cab) at last. Some perspective required perhaps!

 

[bazcfc1]

Sounds good, is the IPTV request thread where you request these?

You posted on request thread this morning but have pms turned off bud so no one can pm you hence you’ve had no replies

Ok, there's about twice as much data coming up the pipes than the 'normal' streams. Better? 🙂

Crap thought it was quiet 🤣

Don't ever remember disabling that.

I respectfully disagree Boag, there's been heads exploding all over TK over these streams

Good point! 🤣

Only cause people are just learning about them 😅😅😅 what’s footy score

Pros:
Slightly better quality than normal IPTV, although according to most, this is hardly noticeable.

Cons:
Costs more
Uses more bandwidth.
Not available to buy with any level of protection.
Can go off at any time with no reimbursement or replacement.

Sounds great.

No really

Pros

Crystal clear, super smooth UK sports streams that rival satellite quality with no motion blur

Lots of friendly faces from TK in the groups now!

Cheap

Short subs available to build up trust in provider




Cons

Your current iptv provider will sulk

There’s not really an extra charge for them on subs as some charge same price as always with them included and if current provider has them then don’t need to build trust up

I've tried a bunch of services from here and elsewhere, the picture quality on the UK channels are very good. They seem to be the sharpest I've seen.

My current supplier who I've been with for over 3 years claims to have raw feeds (direct box feeds) and his streams are no where near as good.
