What to look out for a good IPTV?

We are not allowed to openly discuss IPTV providers on this site. So its a difficult question to answer on here.

Getting Trials is tiresome, you can wait all day for replies.

But through my experience, here are some handy tips.

Check site like reddit IPTV section. They are a bit more open on that site about discussing the good, the bad and the ugly.
They also reference lots of USA providers that in my experience usually have higher standard of streams than UK/Europe providers.

Good sites, rarely advertise openly. If they are hammering facebook or twitter, they are probably no good. If they are good, they get shut down quickly due to the very fact they are advertising. So how do you find them...

IPTV blog sites are a very good source for trying and finding providers. All these lines are hacked, and probably more users using them than is allowed so will not play fluently, but if streams play for 30 seconds its good enough to judge the quality and definition of the streams.

Bookmark lots of these IPTV blog sites. Check them regularly. Try to find some good ones. Then your next mission is trying to find their portal to get a proper trial.

In the UK, obviously sports and movie channels are number 1 priority. These are the first channels you should check to see if they are all FHD. You also need to see if the provider is ISP blocked when the football is on. Awkward as most providers will not give you trials when the football is on.

One reference I always use to see if a provider is good, is to see if it has a good quality "History2 / h2". So many providers struggle with this channel.

Avoid providers that have thousands and thousands of channels from every nation in the world. They are difficult to maintain, pain in the backside to load into IPTV plugins. Slow loading etc etc. Think Quality not quantity. If you are UK based, you probably only need UK / USA channels, a bit of world sport and of course adult ;)

Certain sat forums have sections where you can request trials. Resellers will then message you, rather than you chasing them.

I see constantly on nearly every sat forum, how bad IPTV is. It's crap, its nothing like Card sharing. I really don't know who or what these people are using, but there are lots of awesome providers out there. You just got to keep digging until you find the good ones.
