hi all
Firstly apologies if this is posted in the wrong section - covering a couple of subjects so thought it was best in general chat!
Im currently using the SmartIPTV app on my LG TV (model: 65SJ810V). App runs perfect but has no EPG (tv guide) and can’t record through it so have decided to buy a box. Also the mrs can’t use it (which isnt a bad thing with the crap she watches!) but she keeps moaning about it!
Ive also used the SmartSTB app (MagBox Emulator) which i really liked but have read numerous negative posts about it crashing and freezing.
Im after a box that has:
Multi channel EPG (tv guide)
Ability to record programs
Supports VOD/Catchup TV
Box will be hardwired to internet connection and used solely for IPTV (so doesn’t need to have sat/cable tuners but can have if better option)
Based on what ive read im leaning towards a MagBox 256/322 or a Zgemma box.
My questions are:
Happy to pay whatever for the fastest/most powerfull box as wont be purchasing another anytime soon!
Thanks for reading and any advice/information is greatly appreciated.

My questions are:
- Is MagBox better option than a Zgemma?
- Which MagBox would be the best option? Ive read that the 256 is the fastest but the 322 is more stable?
- Which Zgemma box is the best option? I know the i55 is just for IPTV but have read numerous negative posts about them.
- Is a box going to run as smoothly/without buffering as the SmartIPTV/SmartSTB on my TV?
Happy to pay whatever for the fastest/most powerfull box as wont be purchasing another anytime soon!
