Good luck with that! You pretty much would do as well with using a 'magic eight ball' to get any answers about the service here. I've been with this service from the beginning and after they took away all the HD channels last month (or was it in May?) I knew my time to renew for another year was coming up in July, so I just found another service. And surprise, surprise I found subs out there that I trialed with the same channels (and even more premium movie channels and loads of regional/locals), all in HD and FHD; most have 24/7 and extensive VOD, PPV and movie sections, none of which even matter if you're using Kodi. These other guys even have the most COMPLETE EPGs provided by the service and one is only $70 a year. So guess what? They put the together a more than competitive solution and IMO they win. Not that I think NFPS could care less if users leave. Let's see if this service ever gets its act together. But don't hold your breath. Giving away TV boxes is a poor substitute for providing a decent streaming service. My 2 cents.

Latin Channels

Not sure how to express my frustration. I have been with 66 for at least 4 years. I have lost all my Latin friends but 2 using this server. I have no confidence promoting it because every time I try disappointed. why have all these channels and not even half work. The ones that work are not stable. This is the first time
I am expressing my feelings, because I believe in giving one every opportunity to get things right. Please give me a reason to stay here.

Thanks

Like you I've been with NFPS for a long time (since the free stalker service, 2014 maybe?) and have gone through the ups and downs with the service. Just six months or so ago it was nearly perfect and I was recommending it to others. Understanding the nature of this type of IPTV, I have long had backup service for those times when the one #$%& channel with the one show I wanted to watch was the only one that went down. :) IOW, we should always have one or two other services. In recent months, however, I've found myself watching the backups more than NFPS and started looking for a replacement just as did you.

I've done trials with five other services recently and, along with my two regular "backups", I must say that none of them have perfect EPGs. There are always some listings that are way off and a few missing altogether. This is not a serious problem if we are willing to pull our own EPGs, of course. Like you I have long done my own (SD/mc2xml), so after spending a few minutes to download and edit the m3u file, it's only a matter of a few minutes more to edit my .ren files for the new service. I'll spend more time setting up my groups than on the EPG.

It seems that we are chasing a moving target when looking for quality IPTV service as many are good for a while then begin to degrade as they oversell their server capacity. Overall, I'd have to say that NFPS has done better than most and who knows, perhaps they'll rebound before my subs expires. The journey continues.

Keep getting kicked back to guide

Regardless of channel I keep getting kicked back out after a few minutes. The streams aren't choppy or anything, but I just keep getting kicked out to the guide every 2-3 minutes. Anyone else experiencing this? I rebooted my router and I have gigabit internet.
