Hello all,
Thought we touch base on what we are planning in the next few weeks and what you should consider when comparing side by side to be the best box for 'iptv'. We refer to best box being a device that's designed for IPTV. Knowing the Shield is ranked number 1 for 'Android TV' due to licensing and their Tegra chip which is very powerful but it not really for IPTV its more for gaming and licenced apps such as Netflix and non-licenced apps but if your looking for a great IPTV box then look into a dedicated IPTV box. Although you can sideload apps for IPTV on the shield, those apps are limited on features, design and integration, not forgetting the functions of the remote control for iptv.
Buzztv and Formuler are probably the best to compare to when it comes to IPTV stb with their integrated application.
Buzztv have their app Buzztv5 - Formuler have their app Mol3 (releasing soon).
From what we read and have been told online, the new mol3 is something Buzztv5 already created or had.
Buzztv will also launch a more surprises in 2023 in their Buzztv5.
Next is the quality of Hardware, Specification and Pricing. consider comparing what you get for your money.
RAM is also a feature to consider, It's one of the most important components in determining your system’s performance. RAM, is memory that is available to the system processor when the set-top is booted up and running. RAM is essential to run and execute applications. RAM gives applications a place to store and access data on a short-term basis. It stores the information your box is actively using so that it can be accessed quickly. The more apps your running, the more you’ll need. The speed and performance of your stb correlate to the amount of RAM you have installed. If your system has too little RAM, it can lag and the overall performance of your stb can be noticed.
P.S. any TK beta users that are running Buzztv5 make sure your running the latest firmware and app depending on which model you are using. If your not sure reach out to us.
