IPTV provider directory

How to choose a viewing service you can actually use

Start with one programme and the screen you will use to watch it. Write down the exact event, channel, local station or episode, your country, the device model and the time you usually watch. Then identify who supplies the viewing access, who publishes the player and who bills you. Before paying, check the seller’s total for the complete term, confirm the simultaneous stream allowance you need and run a trial on that screen if the seller offers one. A family that needs two live streams on Friday night has a different purchase to make from someone who watches one programme on a tablet each week.

The provider cards on this page take you to individual profiles. Open a card to see the domain we checked, which material came from that site and which questions still need an answer. If the profile records a published price, keep the original page and your dated quote together. If it records an archived brand card, use that card to recognize the name and confirm today’s seller through a current source. You can do the same research for a service outside the directory. A picture helps you find the right page. A dated plan and a reproducible test help you choose. How we review providers

Write a short brief before opening a price list

Begin with the viewing job. “Live sport in English” leaves too many ways to deliver the wrong result. “One live Saturday match on the sitting-room TV, English commentary, with a replay available on Sunday evening” gives you a match, a screen, a language and a second time window. Add a local channel or a captioned programme if someone in the household depends on it. Put a star beside the requirements that would make you walk away.

Choose a limit for your first purchase as well as your ideal term. You might have room to spend USD 20 today and want an annual agreement eventually. The first amount tells you how much you can test without locking up money you need elsewhere. Your later decision can use a different budget once you have evidence. If another person buys the subscription, share the term, full total and renewal date so both of you are looking at the same agreement.

A brief also keeps the trial from turning into an afternoon of clicking channels you will never watch. One normal live programme, one programme that matters, and one feature someone at home uses every week can produce a better decision than a hundred five-second channel changes. If the service’s price, seller or rights position remains unclear at the end of your enquiry, record that gap in the brief. A friend’s invitation or an expiring offer can wait until the missing detail is clear. Printable trial checks

Check which website and business made the offer

Copy the full address from the provider profile, including its hostname and any path used for the offer. Domains with the same words can lead to different sellers, apps or plan records. Strong 8K IPTV at 8kiptv.io/strong/ and 8K IPTV at 8kiptv.app have separate records here. The same applies to Mega OTT at megaott.io and MegaOTT at megaott.app. When two names look alike, keep the quote, support conversation and player link with the hostname where you found them. Treat a proposed relationship between the names as a question for the publisher to confirm in writing. Strong 8K profile · 8K IPTV profile · Mega OTT .io · MegaOTT .app

Open the seller’s terms and contact page directly from the address you verified. Find a business name or another clear description of the seller, the support route and the billing party named on the invoice or checkout summary. A brand can use an outside payment processor, and a local reseller can quote a different agreement under a familiar brand. The record should tell you which one you are dealing with. If the payment recipient differs from the site’s name, ask who issues the receipt, who provides access and who handles a failed activation or refund. Keep the answer with the offer. A lock icon can tell you about the browser’s connection to that hostname. The ownership and service agreement need their own evidence.

The directory review records 30 websites. Its register captured first-party material for 20 at the time of review and identifies 10 by supplied or archived references. A site may also have useful setup help while leaving its current price or coverage unresolved. Open the evidence note on the specific profile before relying on any card. A publisher screenshot proves what that page or interface displayed when recorded. For an activation claim, use the exact offer, a current first-party instruction or your own confirmed result. Example of an observed provider page · Example of a supplied website reference · Editorial and commercial disclosures

If the website has moved, check whether the earlier domain gives a direct, plausible route to the new one. Check where its current contact and policy links lead. This takes a minute and avoids carrying over an old price, support number or refund promise to a new seller. A changed path under the same domain can also matter. An old bookmark for a legacy plan may still render while the new checkout offers different terms. Save the current route, the date, and any order reference in a private note. If your old login must be migrated, ask whether an official account recovery process exists. Avoid sending your existing password, full playlist address or session details to an unfamiliar recipient.

Decide what kind of supplier you are talking to

A broadcaster can offer its own app. A distributor may include access to that broadcaster in a regional package. A third-party player may only load media and guide data you are already entitled to use. A seller may also provision a customer login through a panel operated elsewhere. Each arrangement can work, but it changes who resolves an activation failure, a player purchase or a missing event. Ask who owns each part before assuming one support inbox can handle everything.

If a vendor sends three sign-in fields, identify where the intended app expects the server address, username and password. A single playlist URL is a different input. Some legitimate services use an app or browser sign-in with no import field at all. Use the publisher’s documented method on the target device. If you change apps during a trial, write down which app succeeded and which format it accepted. In public support posts use placeholders for every credential and share only the device, app version, broad input type and outcome. An authorized access URL can contain enough information to open the account. Player and account guide · Check a three-part login

Check where the programme can be watched

A catalogue can list a channel name while the specific event airs elsewhere, at another time or with different rights. For sport, find the competition’s broadcast partners for the relevant season and country. Then use the named local broadcaster’s schedule to match the fixture and the language or package you need. The Premier League’s published 2025/26 through 2027/28 rights list, for example, names different partners for the United States and Canada. The partner list gives you the next publisher to check. The exact fixture listing answers where that game is scheduled and which product, if any, carries it. Premier League broadcast deals by territory · Check the broadcaster for a match

For a local channel, compare the call sign or station name and the local bulletin in the station’s own schedule. A national logo may appear on more than one local station. Check that the picture, guide entry and expected time refer to the same feed. PBS, for example, describes its website’s live service as limited to local stations that serve the viewer’s area. That is a useful test case for why a station label and your actual location belong in the same note. Find the right local station before reading a missing stream or schedule discrepancy as an account-wide fault. PBS live-streaming help · Match a local affiliate · Browse country references

On a film or series, compare the release year, season and episode with the service’s current title page. In a bilingual home, select the wanted audio and caption tracks and play a scene with dialogue. A poster or thumbnail can help identify the intended work. For purchase decisions, check that the platform offers the edition and tracks you want in your market. Use one familiar scene when you need to judge whether a track is original audio, dubbed audio or audio description. If the title matters to someone else, have that person try the controls on the actual remote before you commit. Title and artwork references · Test audio and captions

Consider a hypothetical household that wants a match live in Montreal and local French news later in the evening. Its short list needs two observations. For the match, the family records the event date, licensed local broadcaster and required package. For news, it opens the intended station, compares the named bulletin to the published programme schedule and checks the desired audio. A French category label can help find the news in a menu, but the language and feed become usable facts after playback. If both services can deliver the news and only one supplies the match with the right authorization, the match resolves the comparison.

Travel and a second home add separate questions. Ask about the actual destination, service terms and approved access. If you expect to be away, ask whether the player can be installed from the local storefront there, whether the account is meant for use in that country and which programming would change. A second home may also differ in connection type, television model or available audio equipment. Keep that use case on a separate row. It can help you decide to keep a simple home plan while sourcing travel viewing from the appropriate local service.

Read the quote as a complete cost

Write down the full amount charged today, the currency, the term, the activation date and what happens at expiry. If there is an advertised monthly equivalent, calculate it yourself using the full term charge. Include any separate app fee and known setup charge in your initial budget. For a foreign-currency quote, add the expected conversion and any known fee as a separate line, then record the actual settlement amount from your receipt. Keeping the original currency on the quote makes it possible to compare offers again later.

Here is an example from the saved offer register dated 13 November 2026. It recorded Trex IPTV’s published twelve-month viewing total at USD 54.99. Dividing that total by twelve produces about USD 4.58 per month. The same schedule recorded a USD 9.99 one-month option. These figures describe the referenced schedule. For an order decision, open the current price page and check the final total, device requirements and simultaneous allowance on your quote. If a separate player licence costs USD 7.99, the two illustrative first-year charges add to USD 62.98 before any tax or currency conversion. The app figure is hypothetical and can be replaced with your own verified quote. Trex pricing · Trex provider record · Compare a price list with a quote

Compare equivalent periods. Suppose two fictional sellers quote USD 24 for three months and USD 55 for a year. The first costs USD 8 per purchased month. The second costs about USD 4.58 per purchased month and requires USD 31 more today. If you will use the service for ten weeks, the shorter commitment can be the better fit. If you need it all year, the larger up-front payment may be acceptable once the viewing evidence and seller terms are clear. Add any new player fee in each scenario. Where pricing differs across currencies or markets, compare the actual charge to your own budget at a stated conversion rate and date.

When an annual plan’s savings assume you use every month, compare it with your expected use. An annual plan may still be sensible for a family that watches the local news daily. A house that only follows one competition could buy access for the months the relevant service carries it. A traveller who needs to check each destination can wait to commit until they have an answer about local availability. In each case the same numbers can lead to a different purchase because the useful viewing term is different.

Know where renewal, cancellation and refund requests go

Billing can run through the viewing seller, an app store or both. Find the receipt for each charge and put the renewal date next to the merchant’s name. If the player renews through Google Play, go to that account’s subscriptions to manage it. Google’s instructions say uninstalling the app leaves that subscription running. If Apple bills the purchase, use the Apple Account associated with the receipt. Apple directs customers billed elsewhere to the company that charges them. Turning off renewal for a player leaves any separate viewing contract for its own merchant to manage. Google Play subscription help · Apple subscription help

Read the seller’s separate instructions for cancellation and refund before deciding on a term. Save the version that applies to your quote. A cancellation can affect future charges while a refund concerns a payment already made. Ask which channel receives each kind of request, what information you need, whether access continues until expiry and whether any deadline runs from purchase or activation. If the policy asks for troubleshooting, ask which steps and what proof are relevant to your device. A payment record, initial issue time and a clear reproduction are often easier to assemble on the day the problem appears.

One example from the directory illustrates how this works. Trex’s published pricing page says a personal subscriber can submit a refund request within 30 days of original activation, subject to its conditions and exclusions. Its separate policy describes the evidence and circumstances it considers. The buyer still needs to check which terms apply to the order, keep the order reference and submit the request through the published route. A trial, a personal term and a reseller purchase can each have different conditions. Trex pricing and cancellation FAQ · Trex refund policy · Trex terms

Read the continuity rules as well. Ask whether renewing extends the existing account, requires fresh credentials or creates a new account with a separate expiry. This matters if a player saves favourites locally or ties preferences to the account. Keep the old and new expiry dates, and test one ordinary source after a renewal. Where the player supports export of its settings, use the publisher’s instructions and store any resulting file privately. An exported list can contain private source or account details. Changing devices and keeping the working setup

Confirm the app on the television before starting the trial

Stand in front of the television and read the hardware model and software version from the device. Use the local storefront on that device to look up the complete app name and its publisher. Similar-looking devices can run different software. Amazon’s model table, for example, lists a Fire OS build for the second-generation Fire TV Stick 4K Max and Vega OS for the Fire TV Stick 4K Select. A guide for one can lead to the wrong app on the other. Use the publisher’s instructions for the exact device and OS, then ask which viewing login or import method the published app supports. Amazon Fire TV model and OS table · Identify your Fire TV model

Install through the device store or the app publisher’s verified distribution route. Keep the publisher, version and confirmed licence price in your notes. Ask how updates are delivered and whether one licence covers another screen. When a provider points to an app with a similar name, compare the company listed in the store with the source named in the provider instructions. If the trial requires an installer, confirm the distributor and the model it targets first. A download link from a forwarded message may have been copied from a different edition or market. Check the app publisher before installation · Device photo references

Try the basic controls before using the trial clock. Can you reach the correct account form with the remote? Can you open an authorized source you already know works? Can another person in the household find the caption menu without a phone? Check the second device’s store, too, if you plan to use it. A phone listing can be easier to find and have more controls than a television build. If casting is essential, use a supported app and verify discovery on your usual network. Google’s instructions for Cast-enabled apps start with the sending and receiving devices on the same Wi-Fi network. Record whether the receiver appears and what happens once you select it. Google Cast instructions · Separate Cast discovery from playback

Ask how the trial starts and what it can prove

Get the clock in writing. Ask when a trial starts, what time and time zone it ends, whether the trial and paid plan have the same features, and whether a payment method or a separate decision is needed at the end. Some sellers start a fixed period after support activates the login. Others may start when you claim it. If the first hour will disappear into installation, prepare the app and screen before requesting activation. Use the published steps for that seller. Golden OTT’s own FAQ, for example, describes requesting its one-day trial after installing the recommended player. Trex publishes a 24-hour test request with eligibility and capacity addressed in its terms. Golden OTT FAQ · Trex trial page · Trex terms

Keep the trial long enough to see the normal viewing window. Suppose a household receives a 24-hour activation at 09:30 on Thursday. Their typical evening programme starts at 20:00. They could set aside a short setup run in the morning, a longer run at 20:00 and a final guide or replay check before 09:30 on Friday. If the programme they really want airs on Sunday, write “Sunday event outside trial window” in the evidence. A Thursday control can still tell them whether the app works on their television. It says little about the untested Sunday feed.

Record enough playback evidence to compare it later

Start measuring when you select a source and stop measuring at the first usable picture and sound. A phone stopwatch and a short note are enough. Sample one familiar channel twice on the same app and network. Then do the same with the channel that matters to your purchase. Give the test enough time to observe the problem you care about. If an occasional freeze matters, a thirty-second pass has little weight. A comparison over twenty minutes is more informative for your use, with the limits of the sample written down. Keep the order of tests and approximate time window similar when trying another service.

A log from a fictional viewing room might say “Friday 20:08, living-room box on Ethernet, first picture after 4 seconds, two short interruptions during a 20-minute local news test.” Its control line might say “Same device and network, broadcaster’s own authorized app, first picture after 3 seconds, uninterrupted for 20 minutes.” Those entries help you reproduce the condition and ask where to look next. Different apps can choose different encodings or delivery paths, so the two results narrow the investigation without proving where the first problem began.

Picture quality deserves its own field. A device can output a high-resolution signal to the TV while decoding a lower-resolution stream. Check the player’s source information if it shows it, and write down what the TV reported separately. Some services using HTTP Live Streaming can expose several playable renditions. A player may change which rendition it uses during the session. A label in the catalogue or on the HDMI information panel alone cannot tell you which version played at the moment you saw a soft image. Compare the same scene or programme at the same seat, and capture a player-provided reading only when you can interpret what it measures. HTTP Live Streaming specification · Check source resolution and TV output

A good evening can still leave one essential feature unresolved. Use the named local guide or broadcaster schedule to check the actual programme time, then try an entry earlier in the catch-up window if replay matters. Select the caption track and confirm that dialogue appears when expected. If sound cuts out during one audio format, repeat a known working audio track or authorized source on the same hardware. Change one factor at a time so the next result carries more information. Use simple notes such as “live channel fine, replay started the next show” instead of “account broken.” Catch-up window test · Audio troubleshooting · Guide time offsets

Work out how many people can watch together

The number of devices with the app installed, the number enrolled in the viewing account and the number playing simultaneously are three useful questions. Ask which of those limits applies to the offer. Find out whether a phone casting to a TV uses an existing session, whether an old device must be removed when replaced and what happens after you close playback. If the quote allows one active stream, keep the test to one stream. A successful login on another screen is enough to show it can open the account. To test simultaneous play, use an allowance that permits it and choose the screens the household will use together.

Here is a fictional two-screen check. A seller confirms two simultaneous plays on the same home account. Start a familiar programme on the television, then open a second authorized programme on the tablet. Keep the first screen visible long enough to see whether starting the tablet interrupts it. If either screen reports an error, write down which one and stop both sessions. Then test each alone. If both work alone and the fault returns only when run together, share the times and the exact error with support, alongside the seller’s written allowance. Concurrent stream test

Check the situation you actually need. A second television in the same home can differ from a family member using a mobile device away from home. A room-to-room replacement can differ from concurrent viewing. Ask about any household, network or destination conditions before treating an allowed second play as permission for every scenario. During your tests, keep the account within the stated rules. If those terms are still vague, assign the plan an unknown for the second-screen requirement.

Compare evidence rather than counting features

Separate your findings into three buckets. First, write down what you could repeat on the intended equipment. Second, keep what the seller or broadcaster documented in writing. Third, list questions you still have. This avoids turning a short test into a long-term reliability score. It also gives a seller a chance to answer a specific question without forcing you to repeat the whole trial.

Here is how a fictional buyer could record two offers. Both services below are examples. The trial observations and prices are invented for the worksheet.

If captions and two screens are essential, each of these offers leaves a different problem to solve. If the second screen is optional, A may be a smaller first commitment while the buyer investigates the weekend fixture. Write the reason in a sentence you can read next month. “A worked for the evening bulletin and matched my current budget, weekend sport pending” is a better record than a numeric score without its inputs. Open the comparison worksheet · Example of a dated comparison

When you ask for help, say who you are asking and what they can resolve. The app publisher can explain a missing menu or device support. The account seller can check expiry and documented access. A broadcaster can confirm its programme or distribution schedule. If an order is involved, send the private order reference through the verified support channel. A public forum post should give the app and model, the error text and the times of the tests, with names, addresses, order details and credentials removed. This helps another viewer suggest a useful control without giving them access to your account. Community posting rules · Ask an IPTVShub question

Keep reseller credits out of your viewing-plan comparison

A credit pack finances future customer activations under a separate agreement. Compare the full pack cost, the quantity you can actually use and the deduction for the same customer term. A published cost per credit means little until you know what that credit buys. Ask how pending orders, reversals, expiry and unused credits are handled. Keep the exact schedule with the quote, especially if a marketing card and an order sheet show different numbers.

For a real schedule example, Pro Max’s published Starter pack lists 10 credits for USD 228.90 and a one-month customer activation deduction of 0.1 credit. That produces a USD 22.89 unit credit cost and about USD 2.29 in allocated credit for one such activation. Ten one-month activations use one credit under that schedule. The pack still costs USD 228.90 to buy. Processing, support and unused balance are separate costs. Ask the seller to confirm the schedule and the terms for the account you would provision before using these numbers in a quote.

Make the smallest decision your evidence supports

End with three lines in your notes. Name the exact service and seller, state the full charge and term, and list the one or two findings that decided the purchase. A fourth line can record what you still have to check. If the login worked, the local programme and captions passed, and the quote and renewal policy fit your budget, a short purchase can be a reasonable next step. If the licensing, seller identity or must-have channel is still unresolved, confirm it through the appropriate publisher before deciding. Keep the receipt and expiry with the brief so the next renewal starts from what you know.
