Was Cable Better

[conwarn]

Hello all I first started using iptv stalker last May 2015 fell in love with it right away. Then late July it was shut down and we had to pay. I did that it was much cheaper than paying a cable bill. So i joined IPTV Talk made the donation all was well, had a few days the sever was down ok but now we are here 3/1/2016 IPTV STALKER not working yet again. So just like i was at the mercy of the cable company I am feeling like Im at the mercy of NFPS having to piece together a way to fix an issue that I didnt create. Maybe when whomever thought to change things they also should have come up with a way to move all of their customers over to the new way of doing business. Instead all Im seeing is try this or try that, I have yet to see one of the Admin take responsiblity and say ok all here is the fix so that all of my customer can enjoy the service you paid(donated) for. I have tried everything i could find in these blogs and still nothing is working yet my days of service is ticking away. i have gone from auth failed to urlopen open error, and now 504 error. no tech support, no admin to help. I feel like an ASS i got about 20 friends and family to drop cable and now we are all without.

1.. you DONATED.. you didnt pay into a contract for service level agreement..
2. In this Hobby, problems happen, its been that way since FTA.. IPTV is no different.. you are dong something big brother doesnt want you to do, cat and mouse game will never end, you shoudl gt used to that or move along.
3.The admins/memebers of this community work hard to keep everything running, but this will never have the level of support as any Big cable provider.. you , and millions of others pay them hundreds a month,, you and maybe a few thousand others pay nfps a hundred a year, there is just not money being paid for full on tech support, people need to realize this..

if 1 2 or 3 bother you, stick with paying your local provider over 1000 a year for the same channels with bright and shiny customer suport, then several hundred more for the ppv and events.. this clearly isnt the service for you

as far as your issues.. you have 2 posts.. not once have you asked for support with your issues, your rant has no logic behind it.

and by reading your other posT_ and the fact your getting 504 error means your trying to use IPTV stalker.. the site has clearly had big warning messages FOR MONTHS saying that client is no longer supported and you need to use something else.. honestly, if you got 20 people to quit cable, and cant read simple, prominantly sticked posts, you should feel bad indeed. not NFPS

And you have nobody to blame but yourself, this is not a cable or satellite company. This service should be used along side a basic cable subscription. People seem to think that this is a "cable cutters" service for $105 a year, think about it for a few minutes... Do you really think for that kind of money your going to get 100% up time and customer service? This service is an added bonus when it's working 100% ... If it's worked for 1 month time that's less than 1 month of cable or satellite, on top of the PPV events. Really step back and think long and hard about what your complaining about....The only person your at the "Mercy" of is yourself for not reading and trouble shooting your problem. You would be up and running like the rest of us if followed all the directions here. You have nobody to blame but yourself for telling 20 people to cancel there cable bill period!

I would like to reiterate like many have said before and stop using "IPTV STALKER", it is unsupported and you will get your donation lost. You should use the Kodi bult-in pvr Stalker

What if the option to " use the Kodi bult-in pvr Stalker" is not viable? The "mauling" of users (as in this and the previous posts) of the iptv service or showing clients the "highway", cannot be the best solution in a client/service environment!

Why would it not be viable?
would you be using some unsupported linux / OpenElec distro to which I read that there is no proper kodi Stalker Client pvr for it? if so then I guess that is a problem. Was the IPTV Stalker addon that he wants to use compatible with those distros?

i will take iks -iptv over any cable company ,talk about consumer soaking.

[scorsese]

At least cable is reliable.

Not viable for the user who does not have and does not want to invest in an iptv box; using an older version of Kodi e.g. Gotham; prefer the IPTV Stalker addon to the alternatives,etc.. etc. - you would be surprised at the many reasons very MANY users of the service have! Whatever the reason, client "bashing" will not help.

I agree with you.

[vtaylor1229]

I agree with you.

Thank you. Clients/users of the service deserve a little more tolerance!

using kodi gotham and complaining you cant use current addons/services. its been made obsolete what 3-4 years ago... time to live in the now and spend the whole $50 on a new android device capable of running a current version of Kodi.. seriously,, my amiga isnt playing stalker anymore, im going to bash the service and forum members because im not happy..
not going to tiptoe around and beat around the bush when the answer is simple, buy something current.

The "complaint" was not about using "current addons/services"! It was about being denied the further use of the IPTV Stalker addon. However the whole point seems to be lost here, so I will not pursue the matter any further, but please do not overlook the importance of client support/satisfaction!

IPTV stalker was a 3rd party addon by a dev who dropped it.. end of story.. it is beyond the servers control.. this has been blatantly transparent and we have warned about it for for months and months.... in this instance there is no way we can satisfy the customer except by undermining server security, and let me say that will never happen.

one more thing.. the server is actually intended for MAG Devices, not KOdi.. if you want to ensure full compatibility with the system, you need to get a MAG

I haven't had a cable bill since 1992 :) I do miss my Viewsat pro though ;)

If you and others don't want to invest in a system to run the service than you have no room to complain. Boxes are inexpensive and for what your saving a year not paying for a actual cable or satellite subscription more than pays for a new box. Anyone not upgrading to something that doesn't depend on IPTV stalker addon to work will be out of luck. Never in any advertising from the actual providers did it say that the addon will work forever. As psycon said it was developed as a 3rd party addon who have stopped updating it period! It was not developed by the people running the service! Many people also don't like that they actually have to do a bit ad reading and research to get the PVR up and running... You can complain that it's bad customer service all you want but the service works great without the stalker addon! So there's your alternative get with the times and either get a new system or don't renew your subscription. For what this cost a year and how well it works you will be the one missing out on a great thing!
Also this isn't necessarily directed toward you but some people think that Kodi is the answer to all there problems and don't want to do any actual research on using it.. Then when switch overs like this happen they can't figure it out and do nothing but complain that they can't get it up and running.. They just want something " simple"... Well guess what without doing some reading it isn't simple period!

At least cable is reliable.

If you want 100% reliability then pay the cable company your monthly subscription and you won't have any issues! Although you will be paying a lot more money a year won't you? Just how much would it be per month for what is offered here? If you aren't happy with the reliability then at least you can go back and pay for 100% happiness😉

[crazed 9.6]

7 day ban is still in effect.
We need not explain things no more.

The least of an aggression on service or support will get a 7 day ban, automatic.

I am still awake and will be for months :)

!!@29 talk to you tomorrow good night


New that was coming i was going to warn him 3 hours now sorry

[whatsup745]

I'm still pissed at the maker of my VCR that I bought 15 years ago no longer supports the making of blank VHS cassettes. Sony is a rip off that they do not make VHS tapes anymore !
Us consumers deserve better service than this !! They just suddenly drop making them..now my VCR is a useless boat anchor !!
NEVER BY SONY !!! They drop support after only 15 years !! Shame on them !

Forcing me to upgrade to a fancy DVD player now..can't even record my programs on them !!

[Orziz]

VCR? What about my Betamax! I spent good money on that thing only to find out the cheap VHS format won the battle and my machine was nothing more than a good way to get traction in the snow by throwing it in my trunk!

[pod77]

Also this was announced going on 3 months ago so there has been plenty of time to make plans to use either the pvr stalker client or the STB emulator. Both of which have plenty of support here on the forum to get you up and running during the transition.
