It is no doubt that this service is getting popular every day but the problem is there is no guide available that provides instructions to a newbie. This is the reason why I then thought to write this guide to share my knowledge with the people who want to try this service but don't know what to do. This is a whole article in which I will talk about everything related to this cord-cutting service that creates hype among individuals on the internet. To understand everything related to this service, just keep reading this article until the very end, and don't miss anything here. What is IPTV? An IPTV is a service that stands for Internet Protocol TV whereas the live channels are provided through the internet instead of a traditional cable. To use this service a user doesn't need to have any cable connection, satellite, or antennas because the channels are directly provided over the internet. Other than this the huge difference between an IPTV and the cable network is that the user can watch it from anywhere in the world. That means you don't need to stay at home or likewise connect to the network that you purchased from your service provider or else. With this service, a user is able to stream all its favorite live TV channels whether they are local or international simply using any WiFi network anywhere they want. This is really an amazing feature for those who go on a vacation to different countries but due to the geo-restrictions, they missed their favorite shows. Furthermore, an IPTV provider is also able to give users additional entertainment through VODs where they provide the latest and old Movies, Web-Series and a lot of stuff. The best part of this is that this service is way cheaper than the old cable networks also it doesn't have any contracts to subscribe to this service. Get Started with IPTV Streaming Since IPTV is a cheap service with a lot of benefits it doesn't mean you can use it instantly because there are various things that you need to take care of to get started with IPTV Streaming. As I said earlier that it is a subscription-based service which means you first need to find the best IPTV service, provider. After getting a service from a provider you then needed to use an application to log in with IPTV credentials provided by your service provider. However, some of the providers have their own applications that can be but yet there are plenty of 3rd-party apps are available that are best even from the one you get from your subscriber. Furthermore, it can be used on different devices like iOS or Android phones, Windows or macOS X PC/Laptop, or requires a Smart TV or an Android Box. In case you are going to watch it on TV then you either need a Smart Android TV or an Android box to install the IPTV application. What do I need to get IPTV? In the above section, I have briefly described what things are required to get started with IPTV streaming and start watching your favorite TV shows or live events. But this is not it because there are still a few things that you need to know before purchasing an IPTV subscription. In this section, I am going to provide complete instructions for beginners who are new to this service and don't know what they need to get their first IPTV service. I will show you the proper instructions to get the right Android box, find the best IPTV provider, install an app, and so on. To learn about it just keep reading this article until the end: Buy an Android TV Box Unlike most subscription-based services an IPTV can only be used within the application as it doesn't support streaming through the website. That's why if you are purchasing it so that you can watch live channels on a normal TV then unfortunately it is not possible. To use this service you simply needed to either have a Smart Android TV or purchase any Android Box or a Streaming Stick. It is really expensive to purchase a Smart TV that's why I would simply prefer to go for the Android TV box instead. Because the box is quite cheaper and provides the same benefits that any Smart TV provides. There are probably tons of products available right now but the powerful Android Box that you should consider is the Nvidia Shield Pro. It is really an amazing box that supports 4K, Dolby Vision HDR, and HDR10, along with 16GB storage (can be expanded using USB) and 3GB of RAM. Since it is packed with advanced features that's why it is probably an expensive one but alternatively, you can go for the Amazon Firestick 4K. It is less expensive yet is a powerful device that supports all android features including an IPTV to stream live channels easily. Find the Best IPTV Provider to Get a Subscription This is one of the most important things that you need to take care of because when you search for an IPTV service you will probably get thousands of search results. It doesn't mean that all of these providers are legitimate or worth your money because some may provide you with illegal content. So, before purchasing a service you need to keep a few things in your mind like checking whether the provider is operating in your area or not. With this, you can stream movies or TV channels without facing buffering and even the provider can help to fix the problem instantly. Other than this you need to check out the list of the channels you are getting along with your service provider. It is because some providers have a different channel list from others. However, if you want a general list that includes Sports, News, Entertainment, and LifeStyle then you can probably go for any service. To make it easy for my visitors in finding the right provider I have listed some of the best IPTV service providers that you can choose from. All these providers are tested by me and are really amazing with the huge number of channels, VODs, 99.99% server uptime, and also works with almost every device. Install an IPTV App The next thing that is required to get IPTV service and start streaming your channels is probably finding the right and the best application to use. I have already mentioned in the above section that the IPTV service doesn't have its own website to stream content from. But rather it requires an application to log in with the user credentials to access the list of channels, VODs, or even streams. Some providers will provide you with their own app while some don't come with it. That is why it is better to go for the IPTV Smarters Pro app that is available for Android, Mac, Windows, iOS, and so on. This app is completely free to use and it doesn't come with any sort of advertisements which makes it one of the best IPTV apps among individuals. The best part is that the IPTV Smarters Pro is also available for the Nvidia Shield Pro and for the Amazon Firestick 4K. You can easily find this application by going to Google Play Store or Apple Store and searching for this app. After that, you can install it with just one tap and the app will be ready instantly. However, since Amazon has its own App Store that's why it is not available yet so for this, you can sideload this app using this guide: Install IPTV Smarters Pro on Amazon Firestick Requires Fast Internet As we all know that IPTV is a service that requires an internet connection rather than a cable, satellite, or antenna. So, there is a little bit drawback of this because if you don't have a good internet connection then you might face buffering, being unable to load channels, and other sorts of problems. To avoid this problem you probably need to have a good internet connection that loads the content faster and has enough speed to stream without buffering. However, there is a minimum speed required for streaming different qualities like if you are going to stream in SD (Standard) then you will be required to have a 3Mbps connection. On the other hand, if the resolution is HD then the connection requirement will be 5Mbps while for the 4K or Ultra HD it is required to have at least 25Mbps. These are some of the recommended connection speeds that you need to have in case you don't want to get interrupted by buffering. Including this, there is another thing that you need to take care of, which is to check the server uptime of your provider. If any chance that the provider doesn't have good server uptime then no matter how fast your internet is you will definitely face link errors, buffering, and so on. Use a VPN Service The last thing that I would like to in this list is using a VPN service, it is not recommended but still, it is a great idea to consider this. As most of you are already aware that the Virtual Private Network is used to replace the original IP with the one obtained from the VPN service. With this, you can stay hidden while surfing the internet and protect your privacy from online theft. Except this your Internet Service Provider won't be able to see what you are watching, searching, or downloading. Because when your ISP notice too much bandwidth is used by you then they simply limit the speed. It is known as ISP Throttling in which an Internet Provider slows down the speed of your network after you stream too much using IPTV service. So, using a VPN can replace your original IP with the custom one, and then you will be able to stream as much as you want. Another benefit of having a VPN is that you can watch geo-restricted content, use websites or install the app. If you are confused about which service to buy then I have listed some of the Best VPN For IPTV that is tested by me. Just make sure to read the whole review to get the best choice for you.
