What Can Rocket Provide On IPTV and why would I want it?

So far its too early to tell but I would assume that it would be the same channels that you are getting now. Why would you want it, well you can take your box anywhere and watch TV without having a Dish is one good reason and who knows, maybe at some point DN may be gone from IKS or when there is an ECM you have something that is working without ECM (Although I cant confirm that) but the best part is you don't need a Dish.

[jjjackson]

I like part two. A free library of shows we can get to anytime. Kind of like have a DVR for stuff we can't get.

[theone]

I like the fact that now I can take my box to Montreal when I go and watch movies with my Brother in Law when im staying there.

[moskivb]

IPTV should work anywhere, unless blocked by the ISP, or someone else.

[Deadwood]

IPTV uses up a lot of bandwidth and apparently its strongly suggested that anyone who intends on using it should have an unlimited bandwidth service. I've been informed that this isn't a problem in Ontario and Quebec but I'm unaware of any unlimited bandwidth internet providers where I am. The internet providers here market their services via speed as in 6mb, 15mb, 25mb, 50mb and 100mb which is the fastest and most expensive but it isn't unlimited. For those with similar restrictions, you might want to check on who can provide unlimited bandwidth BEFORE investing otherwise your internet provider may provide you with a huge bill with your exceeded bandwidth limits. This is meant as a precautionary to those considering buying and using an IPTV box and services.

[BIO]

That is true dead, you will be consuming bandwidth while watching anything through the stb. I once had a limited gb service and they would drop speeds any time I came close to my limit. So, if you're paying for how much you use, have a monthly cap on your download, or using dialup the switch may not be for you.

It's all part of the ever-evolving world around us- some day when any of us talk about fta receivers we'll be showing our age and no-one will know what we're talking about. It'll be known as the good old days- kinda like the BUD days or the card hacking "way back then".

Sooner or later, most of us boxed up or got rid of our outdated equipment. I still have a vcr and dvd player sitting in the top of my closet- keeping some of my old fta equipment company.

as far as we know there will be no ecms, and vod service will be great, just wait and see guys keep expectations up!!!

Depend of reliability of the channels source.

[K00lKatT]

Exactly the same reliability as a 100% legitimate sub...

[moskivb]

I agree if legitimate SUB ... will be used, but nobody says that.

[K00lKatT]

and they won't for obvious reasons...

[theone]

Who cares how it works, as long as it does and were happy, well at least I am lmfao.

[date]

You all better be patient and all will be revealed just in time, I would say keep the expectations high.:)

[Marley]

hope new and higher things will come are way

[jjjackson]

Will you create a special app or find away to use another app for major brand smart TVs?

[muchacho]

No body never tell US the internet 'power we need to make the mag 250 to work well is it 7-10-15 or 25 mgb .thanks:cool:

[tbird686]

im not starting anything.......yes its nice that the movie trial is free but so is xbmc.....lol

just what i have seen from the other iptv services and they were mostly all Europe content.......im excited to have north American on one box and the way they can do it will be or could be amazing

like to have all the dish and bev sports cartoons and movie channels on one box.....wow thats crazy.....no need for that big dish and a motor how i use to have to do it!!!.......but yes time will tell


my buddy said they my even be able to add true fta channels on it too so they cant go down either....

[Marley]

yes time will tell can wait to test it

[vimonty]

Any one know if will be permit to take the IPTV receiver from place to another place ...

[K00lKatT]

anywhere you have ample internet connection, yes...

[date]

Yes you are permitted, your iptv box will work regardless of the ip it gets connected to.

[vimonty]

Thanks for the answers .. that is good news .

[jrgama61]

Yes.. it is but the question I have is it yearly or monthly? Different providers charge by month...????

[BIO]

We don't discuss other providers but there will probably be different options to buy after it's released.

[theuduk]

For the IP have a 300g monthly limit will see how that goes will change to unlimited if need be, if still using IKS somewhat the D/L may not be that high.

[mama25]

wish box IPTV work with

thnx tbird :)
Manufacture site would prolly be okay, but best is like you have it.
I just copied that addy exactly how you have it and pasted that into browser address bar and took me right there :)

[roadrunneric]

is this a monthly subscription type sub? a monthly bill to watch tv? or does the rocket service, for an annual fee like for my jynksbox iks box, replace the monthly bill?

Will you post maintenance times, so we know when to expect outages?

[catz]

It is in testing down at any given time.

[date]

No doubt it will be out when it's ready, good things take time.:)

[bobmofo101]

For those who are testing this, how is the quality? 1-1.5mbps is horridly compressed for HD.

[Falcon05]

bobmofo1 - I am testing with an aVoV box on a 1.5mb download bandwidth DSL connection. If I had to guess, I'd qualify the picture quality of the HD version movies at 720p. It takes about 5 seconds to spool up and begin playing. I have been pleased so far with the VOD and can't wait to see the IPTV product.

[toyz4tv]

I agree.. I can't wait to the IPTV product. Maybe they should upload a small variety of channels to test. "hint" "hint"

Cool, this should be fun to play around with. I have a mag254 on its way.

[bobmofo101]

Arrived today. Played a few VOD streams, and...it worked. I'd put video quality on a par with a standard SD xvid scene release, and audio ...not so great, sounded over-compressed even on my built in TV speakers--like it was encoded in 64kbps mp3 or something.

Still fun to play with and test out.

Is there rocket for xbmc. I have xbmc on my windows 7 but i am not getting any live channels. Is there a way to get live channesl on it. thanks

[vashira]

Hi Folks, I'm new here. Just wondering whether plans are still to implement bev into iptv. Also, I'm not completely sure on how it will work. After getting a box for IPTV, do we need to subscribe to either rocket or NFPS or will there be other options?
Will hockeystreams be a possibility as far as apps go?
Unlimited bandwidth may be a problem for me, going to have to do some research as to which companies, if any, provide it.

These are early days, tomorrows will answer your questions about channels. It's too early to tell right now.

As far as subscribing, yes. The free server will not last forever. When the multitudes connecting to the server give enough info to do tweaks more channels will be added. After the server is stable the trial will end and will not be free anymore. Check out the announcements section for related posts, and stay tuned there for future updates

No, there is not an app that I know of on xbmc/kodi to emulate a mag25x. There are ways to get it on a pc but you need to install an android emulator like bluestacks and then an emulator like vasilchmax to get iptv.

[vashira]

Thanks Bio! This is very exciting. Have some experience with FTA boxes but it's been awhile.

[BIO]

You're welcome vashira.

FTA and IPTV have little in common except provider and channels. I think you added while I was typing last time or I browsed over the bandwidth. Unlimited bandwidth may not exist IMHO. You'll need a download rate of at least 1.5-3 and your usage needs will vary by how much and what you watch. Obviously if you can get faster internet or more of a data limit it will help.

[vashira]

Hi guys. I was hoping for your opinions. I checked with my current ISP and I get the following:
Up to 25 Mbps download speed
250 GB monthly transfer limit

I probably watch no more than 8 hrs tv per day

Does this appear like it should be enough for IPTV or do you think it's iffy?

Thank you so much for your thoughts!

[destroyer]

31 channels available now on iptv

[Marley]

thing are moving along

[saqeeb90]

[Capt.Kangaroo]

[destroyer]

[insanityme]

yes, it appears all live channels are down at the moment, vod is still up

[jerry1]

will the 31 channels be back or are they gone for good untill they release all channels?

[crazed 9.6]

Maybe, maybe not.
We do not know the correct answer, sorry.
