Hello everyone,
I'm the guy that knows just enough to be dangerous. HaHa..
Seriously, I hope to learn everything I wanted to know about IPTV here and am thanking everyone ahead of time for answering all my dumb questions.
Here's some background and some questions to get this party started.
I found IPTV by accident when I bought a new Samsung TV and was looking at the apps. There was one called Smart IPTV and I started checking into it. I was able to buy the app and add my MAC address. I then tried to create my own playlist. I then found out it was way easier to buy one. So I tried a few for 24 hours. I quickly moved on to loading it onto a firestick with a STB Emulator. I liked the look of the layout better than Smart IPTV and messed around with a few providers. Having some experience with Kodi I figured there has to be a better way. Most of my Google searches led me back here. Great info here, BTW. I think that short of buying a MAG 25x and paying for service I would am more inclined to put together something of my own. I am leaning toward the Android stick with a quad core and 2mb ram. They are relatively inexpensive and I can put the apps I want on it without the ads like on Firestick.
My goal is to have a stick I can give to friends and relatives that have never seen anything like this (the wow factor).
DONE SO FAR:
Loaded Smart IPTV and Smart STB, imputed several subscriptions
Loaded FireStick with STB Emulator and imputed several subscriptions(changed MAC)
Loaded Android box with STB Emulator and imputed several subscriptions(changed MAC)
Bought a couple of sticks (one more powerful to test how cheap I can go) I'll load them up with apps and pair a MAG like remote.
So now maybe someone could help me fill some gaps....
1. why do I need a provider at all? I have found several M3U sites that have playlists for free? They show you how to use pastebin to create your own URL for free.
2. if a playlist is just a grouping of URLs that the player can read why can't you just build one from scratch?
3. if I want to sell my stick and subscriptions it it illegal in anyway?
4. I signed up at pitvrocket and received a donation but it won't let me login to assign a MAC. What is papiao.is and are all the channels Spanish?
5. I cant sign into papia.tv ?
6. What is the Stalker portal, and why do I need it?
Thanks Admin.
