Best IPTV box

    I am looking for recommendations on hardware here only, I don't want any discussion of illegal streams or similar. I am looking for an IPTV box which I can integrate with a legal provider, something which would give a familiar user interface to a Sky box or cable box.

    I have tried different free subscriptions using Kodi and apps in Android and find the whole experience very clunky compared to a smooth streamlined box setup.

    What what broadband specs would I need for this to run smooth.

    I have IPTV and my provider has an APK file that I installed on my android operating system


    Find their service excellent

    I'd recommend using such an option with an nvidia shield
    Top piece of equipment and has loads of other benefits

    Mag 256. Rock solid.

    I.B.T.L. :D

    MAG all the way for me.

    I've used all sorts of hardware, but only the MAG's have I found to be genuinely parent-proof in terms of their ease of use.

    Most of mine are MAG 254's which work great, but have probably be superseded by newer models at this stage.

    To be honest, IPTV isn't particularly tough on hardware so it is more about the software.

    The best software seems to be TVOnline2 but this seems to be restricted to the formuler Z8 box. You'll pay a premium for this box but it might be worth it for the software.

    The Mag boxes are quite good but the software has dated a bit now. They are reliable though.

    10Mb/s should be enough capacity to provide reliable HD streams

    One of the up to date smart tv's is good enough these days, I have an LG smart tv and use a couple of apps, one comes pre installed called
    "smart IPTV" the other is "STB" which I installed myself.
    Once you have a provider your all set and no extra hardware required just an internet connection.
    I hope I didn't break any rules here as Im only sharing my personal experience.
