thks, Sheetmetal, and remember we are only a third of the way in time asked for to implement...while I truly understand everyones frustration I would also ask they exercise some patience and understanding. Please give the provider the time asked for to implement, I have confidence it will get better, thks..
 
It is discouraging to read negative posts about the service. This is cutting edge technology and it is up to us the pioneers to encourage and support it in every way possible and not to bash it for its shortcomings. The service is in its infancy with huge technical improvements just over the horizon. So let's give this and all IPTV pioneers every ounce of support we can. !
 
I see this again and again with every freaking addon for kodi people are whining "why is it buffering" wha wha..buffering is highly situational, and if you have a route with no caps by isps (us providers has alot of caps especially overseas) you will have no problems. I listened to the same shit about 1channel and other addons for years "why is 1channel buffering" well tell you what it is not buffering here even though I used the same source as users complaining. as said buffering is usually a result of more than one thing, and its freaking annoying listening to people who does not know how the internet works or if their isp is using caps and being cheap and if its satellite or cable or fiber. and no your advertised bandwidth does not mean sh*t, the transport all the way to the source does.

I stream from this service pretty much 24/7 and I do not see excessive buffering at all, maybe 5 times a day max for a sec or twoand a channel freeze that just needs to be restarted, and I can live with that for the price and the afterall still early stages I still see things get better by the day. I know everybody does not watch the same channels though, but if its a problem for you guys that even had 2 months of free service I simply do not get it. you should have found a good isp I the meantime, if you still were not satisfied you should simply not have donated or maybe waited (you all new the state it was in when it went live), coz what you are doing now (the whining) is f*cking childish.

Buffering is the infinite thread starter with no one conclusive answer. you could have the best servers in the world and some people will still complain about buffering even if its free or not. lol

As to the streams can be found consistently in other addons, again theres no need to whine, if you feel you can do that you are more than free to do so.

edit: sorry about the profanity. :) and no that's not a chip on my shoulder. i'm done now. lol
let's be constructive now and report the channels that might have problems, and check your donation from another location, a friend, family, or someone else that has another service provider than the one you have. it's the best advice I can give.

Service is unreliable especially regarding UK tv.Sky One, Sky Atlantic, ITV Encore, Sky Living still down a week on. No communication. Destination AMerica down almost 2 days no update. NBC, ABC and Fox are in very low resolution and not in HD only sd. Far superior streams for the basic american channels can be found on USTVNOW. Fox UK gone for weeks not fixed. Spike TV showing a shopping channel for days. HTTP errors 403 steading increasing Customer service non existent. All in all servie wasn't ready for general release beta testing should have continiued on for another few months.

Slingbox is far more reliable.
 
yeah and cable or real dish is even better quality.. wtf is your point. again i'm getting it for an abundance of the 700+ channels not 10 I can get free elsewhere.

the channels I watch is ok quality and would cost me the same as the whole package to add just 1 discovery channel to my cable package.
I find that a pretty good deal, if you can't find any good deals between the channels (quality contra cost) wth did you donate for channels you can get legally and free through ustv.

All in all I find this services a good initiative, this is fairly new and still breaking ground.

might be a good idea to close this useless info thread.

This was suppose to be premium private service......people are paying for this through donation.....Well it is not premium and the channel sources are not private.....Most of the channels offered can be had through free download of m3u channel lists or kodi addons ...with about the same or better quality.......The channels especially popular channels like SPORTS will always freeze if this service keeps using public sources .........with all the money they made through the years with IKS.....you would think they could have put together a truly private service with them controlling the sources.........

This post is very encouraging ...Gives the maker of this service what is necessary to make this an exceptional iptv service.........All need to look at some of these complaints as constructive criticism....
 
I am hopeful they truly become premium, as if they can get private source American channels, it will be gold. Worth more than they are taking now. In the meantime I have a real private source to fill the gap. Its more costly to be sure, but works perfect as well. Hopefully this service gets where they want to be in the next few months. And if they do, I'd happily donate double the cost now. Get the Cable US channels with private source hd and its worth that.
 
I'm agreeing with Toz4Tv, but for me it's not so much the buffering being the issue. It's the fact that we donated under the impression (or anticipation) that after our donation (I made 8) we would have premium streaming capability. Growing pains are fine, it's expected, no one is arguing that. But they never should have gone to market with a product that performed better when it was free. I'm a full supporter of NFPS, however, I can't help but feel a little swindled after paying a few hundred bucks. Feels like (even though I know its not) that I just purchased dedicated hosting space from Godaddy to stream YouTube.

Useless to you. But countless others are having major issues. Many of which didn't have the same issues during the free preview. Pat yourself on the back for being one of the ones that has things working perfectly. Enjoy it. But don't talk down to those that paid for something that promised them better than they are getting currently.

Exactly. It worked when it was free and now it is basically unwatchable in my case.
 
ok, i'm aware that I might miss some info here.

I'm sorry if you were promised hd channels and bells and whistles at launch, i'd like to hear from where and if you have any links.
If such where made they should ofcause be held or at least explained.

I think that a list of current channels and resolution could help a lot of people not feel cheated like you guys do.

I was not promised anything, I tried the service in demo but I was never given any promises. For what I read about the service and got, to me its a good deal.
Again I was not promised or expected HD right away, I tried the demo to and from the demo is where I got my expectations, I think that is fair.
Just check the channel counting threads where everybody is raving every time new channels are added. I did not expect anything to change into gold overnight.

then lets keep the issues a little more specific.. fuzzy info is useless :)
after all we are here to help each other but things like major issues and random buffering are hard to pinpoint.

and I certainly didn't know it would turn into a thread about people feeling cheated.
