    I use IPTV now, got tired of Kodi and finding a good build only to have it abandonded and worthless a couple weeks later.

    I'm fine with $80 a year for 2 connections and have a secondary service for $10 a month. Aside from the raid back in September that affected a majority of the services haven't looked back.

    I pay $50 for 200mbps internet

    Main thing with it is to use a good VPN as internet providers like to throttle which is what causes 90% of peoples buffering issues.

    Between IPTV for live TV /Sports and Typhoon TV for movies and series using real-debrid for premium links, I can watch probably 90% of everything out there. Don't quote me on that as I don't watch a whole lot of stuff not out there.

    Main thing with IPTV is review providers and use free trials. I've had to file disputes with pay-pal as they still seel services but they have channels down and crappy feeds on the ones that work.

    Well I can tell you that I've been on and out of the house this last hour and had left the tv on after the local news.. The View is on so I listened to a couple of minutes..

    .. the view of what? Idiots?
    .. good to know that washed up never were celebrities have a place to go.
    .. Sharon Osborne who tf are you to tell anyone anything. She should stick to hanging upside down in a cave.
    .. who knew that a bunch of squawking hens could draw an audience outside of Turkey hunting
    .. the rest of these cows (co-hosts) should be put out to pasture.
    .. Star Jones has such bad posture that she mimicks something Jane Goodall would study. Probably drags her knuckles too.

    Those of you streaming a fire stick do use a VPN when using kodi or other apps that the stick needs to be jailbroken to use? I’ve had very spotty results with the VPN with those apps and they buffer or when trying to download a movie and it won’t complete. I did watch Joker this way a few weeks ago with positive results.

    I use a VPN religously for my streaming. Free trials are a must with those as well. Internet providers can figure out a VPN server and throttle that IP address. Changing server locations helps as well, try another one in the US or try Canada.

    That said with a firestick or whatever device when using apps, clear the cache daily and restart afterwards.

    Even solid internet and a good VPN wilp not guarantee buffer free viewing.

    On apps like Typhoon TV, Modbro etc some of the links are heavily used or on slow servers to begin with.

    Look into whether whatever app your using uses real-debrid. It's a small fee monthly or other options, but when you click on what you want to watch and multuple links pop up, it will give you premium links in yellow that are buffer free.

    Real-debrid is supposed to be integratable with kodi as well, so may want to research that route. I found that out after getting and and had stopped using Kodi, think Krypton was the las Kodi update then.

    I’ve had IPVanish for the last 15 months. I turn it on and use different servers. I’ve watch a lot of YouTube videos to help speed up the fire stick with really no change. The last app I downloaded was Oreo a few weeks ago. Seems to be a decent app.

    ya'll are way too literal. I don't pay squat for Netflix unless I want to rent a movie.

    I have IPVanish as well, liked it at first but couldn't get consistent streaming when everyone else said theirs was flawless. Switched to Express VPN and havn't looked back.

    Turkey season right around the corner, so I'm watching Pinhoti project. These Georgia boys slay some birds.
