I signed for King, but I get buffering on damn near every station. I know it's not my internet since it's gigabit speed and ethernet connected.
I was offered VIP service for extra when I signed up, but turned it down. Was told I would get dedicated servers.
Anyone think the VIP service is worth it?
can't answer that
but if you are dissatisfied
see my above advice to pjn
ask him how he likes it so far

you have to go through multiple IPTV’s before you find the one that fits your needs. I’ve been through a dozen before i settled on 2.

I don't know what the problem is. Did you try a different player? I use tivimate. Xtreme IPTV works best with it compared to smarter pro. It buffers and some channels do not play but for the price compared to paying for cable I tolerate it.

I've tried at least 3 different players and get the same issue.
I reached out to technical support and was told that AT&T internet throttles IPTV services and to change my VPN setting.
It's been better since.

What's a good, lite add on for the fire stick? We have silver stream that we're paying for already, but I need something for binging, movies, and nba league pass

I use Kodi. Add Umbrella and/or Seren with a Real Debrid or All Debrid account and that will take care of most of your TV and Movie needs. If you don't want to pay for a premium account, use Scrubs. I haven't found a reliable sports app yet.

I already got kodi running on it, I just couldn't get a decent wizard to add on a bunch of repos that work consistently and don't weigh down the fire stick... I can usually find a good "lite" version with scaled down graphics and user interface but I've not been lucky this time... I'll check out the ones you got listed and hopefully they have a lite version

I don't use builds anymore. I just install Kodi and install the addons that I am going to use. I have the included the source locations for Scrubs and Umbrella below:

Scrubs: https://jewbmx.github.io/
Umbrella: https://umbrellaplug.github.io Add Cocoscrapers module: https://cocojoe2411.github.io/

To activate Cocoscrapers in Umbrella => Open Umbrella => go to Tools => go to providers =>Enable external providers=>Click External Provider and select Cocoscraper from list. You must have either Real Debrid or All Debrid to use Umbrella

I friend of mine paid for one of these IPTV services.

Now I see the benefit. It's in HD, it never goes down and he can watch local channels from damn near any city in the country, as well as having access to Canadian and British TV.

The free apps don't always work or they drop themselves down to 240p or they get feeds mixed up (Ex. CNN goes from the American feed to the international or British feed or recently HGTV switched to the Canadian feed)

I cut my cable off 2 years ago.
I use a service through my friend. He ships you a firestick ready to go
Been very satisfied. Full disclosure, it works 98% of the time. Anytime you deal with streaming you run into issues from time to time.
Here is a video of what it looks like (4K quality) Has Live TV, Videos On Demand (VOD) and Series
ALL NBA Games, NFL, Baseball, PPV...YOU NAME IT. Every local channel, I save channels in my favorites for easy access
I believe the service is $150 for the year (you zelle him) If you need a stick he charges for the cost of one (one time fee)
You get more than one stick for your home he can group the yearly fee for very reasonable costs (I have 2 sticks)

If anyone is interested I can key you in with him, just DM me

Buffer free or does it has any buffering issues and how much do they charge a month?
Not buffer free, but not terrible either. They are $12/mo for one connection and like $4 extra for each additional connection.

Of course you get all the channels, PPV, porn, whatever.

The biggest issue is that sometimes when you click on a channel, it won't connect right away. You have to go to another channel and then back to the channel you want and it comes on. Minor annoyance when consider how much you are paying for all the content you get.

Great customer service. They get back w/ you same day or next day at the latest if you have an issue.

I actually checked their website, their prices are reasonable and thanks for the list of things about the service.

I'm currently with a service that has minimum buffering and sometimes none at all and the channels you click works the first time with no going back to click on them again to get it to work.

He's having a blowout sale right now for the NFL season.

This will be my 3rd yr using this service.

The service is yearly or monthly depending on your budget and how many connections you want..
