IPTV VS Sat
- Thread starter mike123
- Start date
Judging by the amount of complaints about the "new sat" lines it's not as reliable as iptv so I can't see it catching on widespread except those with ~5mbs connections.
For anyone getting 10mb or higher sat cs isn't worth bothering with

It's not just with viark boxes the enigma subs are around £65. Nowhere near the same content as IPTV.

Buzz Vidstick buzz XRS4500 z8 but like I said recording will always be hit and miss with iptv no matter how good a provider or device is

Nothing can beat sat and cable c/s imo
Quality was amazing back then
Sat maybe work on viark and enigma boxes but who knows for how long.

Don't you need multiple connections to be able to record on iptv?
Seen some mention recording can be hit and miss on it.
All you need is a multiline to be able to record.
If you use buzztv 4900 just use XC API or streaming libd option with username and password and you will be able to record while watching another channel.
On the 4500 the firmware will be updated next month to be able to do the same

I was one of those who loved CS and was gutted when it went..never found iptv reliable ...but now with the right device and sub I use it all day every day no issues..reading about the CS issues seems it's more up and down than iptv so wont be moving anytime soon..but I would have both if they worked as iptv does now and cs did before.

Spot on mate.
IPTV has come on leaps and bounds with quality and reliability over recent years.
if c/s is as reliable as before and lasts. Having best of both worlds is a big bonus.
Trouble is you only get the real benfit from c/s if you have a motorised dish.
On IPTV you can pretty much watch every 3pm kick off with english commentary I don't think that is possible with c/s
There is not huge differences in pic quality now i use Now sports to watch most games and would struggle to see any difference

Euro sats is best if you want all types of other channels.
But pic quality and just having choice of the channels on uk c/s as was case years ago is only a positive imo.
Along with IPTV having uk c/s hopefully for a long time gives people more options.
Even where 3pms werent on uk c/s on sat and cable was still great options to have before.
Are you going to get a viark box @channelking
