Your ISP will probably block IPTV ports after a few weeks.

Ok well that's a different matter. Let's stick with the subject being discussed.

You will need a box that can handle 4k streams!

Formuler z8 and a decent sub provider is all you need.

I have a "Chromecast with Google TV" and use the app "Tivimate". Works wonderfully but you need your own private IPTV subscription.

I wouldn't trust boxes with it all preloaded.

Why have posts been removed rather than just removing the thread?

No idea why my reply was removed. It wasn't against forum rules. And no explanation was offered. So here it goes again...

What's the pros/cons of a chromecast/firestick Vs a dedicated unit such as formuler z8?

The fire TV stick isn't containing very dodgy software like in the video I posted

As I also mentioned alot of TV's have iptv apps available

What video? The IPTV boxes don't contain dodgy software as far as I can tell.

Z8 box has the best viewing app going. Can also connect a hard drive to it to allow recording and pause /rewind etc.

Is there a good place or forum to discuss IPTV in more depth?
