Hello all, help me plan for the future?

[Infoe]

I still own and use my two sonicview hd's have these babies long time. I'm a casual tester. Logon when something changes get up to speed and back at it so iptv is relatively new to me. I also have a roku box and since wife is not a big techie we have had netflix for a few months. (She is into tv shows)

Should I purchase a mag254 or two now or wait a bit? I will say I'm partially interested in selling my roku and getting rid of netflix subscription if possible

only downside i see to iptv is i like connecting my stb to slingbox and it does not seem to have a secondary connection for slingbox on most iptv boxes

I rent and have a dp44 switch and triple lnb and it would be nice not to have to worry about the lnb install and all that next time i move or buy a house.

Mind sharong some tips what you would do if you were me?

I was asking relative to the overall iptv experience not necessarily the papiao tv service. How does it compare in feel snd experience to fta

Welcome to the forum! When I first read about this service, I got the mag 254 fees days later.

I would do a LOT of reading. Removing the roku and getting rid of netflix is easily done, check into xbmc/kodi because that will do the same thing, basically, as netflix. You load an app and almost everything ever aired on tv is available to you. A little more involved than a roku but more options too.

Your sat install will still work for now, so no real hurry with that. My mag254 works great and there is even a newer mag260 that will do both iptv and xbmc. You have android boxes that will do both also by loading an app called vasilchmax emulator, and there is the avov that will also do both.

You have a lot of homework ahead of you. IPTV can replace sat tv and xbmc can replace the roku.

I wilol welcome you here infoe, my opinion iptv is a good supplement to sat TV and may be the main system in the future, as already posted some reading here will get you up in knowledge.

Hey there don't mind my thread moving was just not sure where to post as i did not see a general thread. the mag260 seems like it is the way to go if it can integrate kodi throught it's xbmc. I want to get one box for now (or in near future if there is rumors of a new box coming out soon) may be my choice to "test" for when I move in a year or so to see if at that point the iptv solution can serve as a total solution and I can do away with the sat/lnb setup's (I've moved 3 times) and am tired of removing and installing lnb's/running cables


as for learning about repo's and where I can get more access to vod tv shows through xbmc/kodi where can i learn about that?

It seems like a marriage in heaven with an iptv box using rocket code for tv and their vod mixed with xbmc/kodi tv services
