Ah, Ok, that makes sense now.

Ok, so I VPN'd into my machine and upgraded IPTV Stalker and Couch's Addon (V10.3.4-r2) enabled the PVR Built in stalker, after several tries and another IPTV66 reset. All the channels loaded and the guide is in color (yeah, looks nice). I disabled the EPG updater service.

Now the bad part. The only channel which starts playback is Adult 1. All others time out. So really no change from my earlier posts.

Hm.

Since 1 channel is playing, leads me to believe the server is having some issues with URL exceptions or authentication issues.

i also have iptv66 acc.
and I can confirm that there's nothing wrong with their service
all channels can be played well...
ofc with few hiccups but it's still tolerable :p

so maybe your IP is the problem itself

I've also build a simple tool to check if your IP is ok or get banned
but I haven't released it to public yet

if you dare, you may try it as the first tester :D

Sure, I'll give it a try and let you know how it works. I can also try to re-route through another VPN tonight. Seems very odd that 1 or 2 channels work and the rest do not. I will also reset my router and related equipment.

Installed and ran, seemed to work, just fine. This could be the reason.

Now to find out why the address is being banned. Good thing I have a work around!

hahaha... my guess is right

with your background,
I'm sure you know what to do to get rid the issue

well... it's almost 2 am here... I need some sleep
see you tomorrow

If you are able to get a list of genres and a list of channels, after you have done a 'clear cache', that means that your login/password and MAC are accepted as valid by the server. However if you only open the numbered channels (like adults or Music, or Sports,or the countries), but time out on the other channels (like the UK or US regular channels), it probably means there is an interruption in the routing, or maybe too many hops to the end server. One way to get around that is to use a VPN, which does shorten the path to the server. The other channels work as the server actually doesn't serve the stream for those channels, they are links to other hosts.

Yep, that's it for sure. I VPN'd back in, fired up a re-route and bingo, service restored. Not sitting in front of machine to be able to see the quality, but I'll try it out tonight. Yes I did an initial tracert to the server (before re-route) and it stopped after about the 12th hop, which is way too many. !@# I should have known!

Makes total sense the working channels are direct host links.

Thanks
