I bought a vixo 1 and vixo 2 since I kept hearing people say that IPTV is the future and IPTV may be the future, but for the time being I can't say it is the present. There is still a lot of work to be done IMO such as more HD channels, more reliable channels that will work most of the time and more of a channel list that mirrors either BEV or Charlie. I bought these boxes primarily for the TVOnline app. All of the other VOD apps were a good plus. If you just care about watching movies and tv shows on demand then you might like all of these IPTV stb's and if thats the case then all you really need is kodi, and as we all know, kodi can be installed in multiple different affordable platforms. As a long time IKS supporter, I would say IPTV still has a long way to go before it is as reliable as IKS. I sure hope you are right Bkman2020 on IPTV being the future, but as of right now, IKS is still the way to go. Just my opinion. Hopefully nobody on this forum takes it personal.
