I actually see a possibility of Kodi making a come back if people switch to mini pcs instead of android boxes they are not much more if you buy a refurb mini pc and it will do more and you can access the same scrapers the apks access for links so we might see Kodi back and a return of Fanriffic hahaha

remains to be seen if Vega will get cracked yet. I believe there will be an app store which means devs get the sdk it is just getting them on the device. Who knows

might actually be able to use the term Jailbreak properly on a fire device at last hahaha

Vega SDK no use until it is Jailbroken of course

Hehe.
I've just setup my first IPTV on a Firestick, I've never done it before and I'm not buying from a reseller so I've bought a month direct from my source website(strong8k.org) and also purchased lifetime Tivimate premium. I'm still learning to set it up so I need to see how it goes or whether there are better options out there.

smarters is generally a well liked and often cloned app that works well with subs. Your supplier may have a clone for it
What makes you think they are not a reseller?

Re: What have you just bought?
I use OTT Navigator by Scillarium Studio. It's finely tuned. Mod from https://platinmods.com/
You can now watch Sky Sports F1

When I was looking into IPTV there were a lot of comments saying go here message a guy bla bla bla and then I saw some replies saying cut out the middle man and go direct to source, so Strong came up a few times so I decided to give it ago.

Thanks for the info.
I already pay for Formula 1 TV Pro from USA via my VPN to get around the UK restrictions, but I also get F1 via this IPTV service so I may as well cancel getting it the legit way as it's the same cost but get alot of live TV too.
I'm very new to this so still learning, but as far as I know I'm not relying on some random guy to sort it for me.

Re: What have you just bought?
Carrots from Aldi. The "wonky" ones were less than 1/2" thick and about 6" long, so I got their "normal" ones that were a little fatter but the same length.

You haven't gone to source. I've tested a similar playlist. The quality is schoolboy. I'm getting buffers, skips which is amateur. The playlist is all over the place too. I took a trial intrigued what you had found. No good in my opinion.

I'd suggest keeping the back up. You may well need it because strong will prove unwatchable.
I can tell you're new to this. You've opted for an overhyped provider.
I've tested various other providers because I wanted a backup but they have all proved to be shit. I have another backup but it's invites only, a closed community. That's when you know you have source none of these silly resellers.

Re: What have you just bought?
I have not seen any buffering in the little test I run. What client did you test it on? I used Smarters on my PC. I like the Raw HVEC 4K and HD options also . I think just running on an xtream codes panel like 99.9 % of all the others

Re: What have you just bought?
Nvidia Shield, OTT Navigator, XC. MTV hits is ok, streaming really well in fact. MTV music has a mind of it's own. Sky Sports News ok. F1 4k starts playing up after a while.
A source would prove it's their stream through a marker.

Re: What have you just bought?
I've not had any buffering with Strong so far everything has been fantastic for me.
I did some research with people suggesting things like no need to go with a reseller and Strong came up a few times with that, so I've taken a punt and it's fantastic in my short time of testing.
If it does go dodgy like in your experience I'll try another and use BeeTV again.

Re: What have you just bought?
I'm very interested in how you get on in some weeks or months if you would kindly share your experience.
Personally I didn't like the experience, I did mouth off I accept that. No good for me.
