I have an old Firestick with iptv would I notice a big difference if I got one of these or should I go the whole hog and get a mag 254

Can't imagine any IPTV provider does 4K streams so I'd keep what you have.

If you have a 1st generation Firestick it'd be worth the upgrade. Mind you if you've not got a 4kTv it's irrelevant anyway, buying one would 'future proof' you though.

Provider I use for VOD has loads of 4k content, I can't watch it to confirm quality though  :)

Mine is working on it, testing at the moment. However you will need something better than a firestick or a mag 254. You will need a Mag 322 or 351 or equivalent + 100mb broadband.

Could you PM provider details Boycey? My IPTV is up now in Dec and would like to try and get one with better VOD? The one I have is relatively crap.

Not for 4k

Mr Google thinks different, obviously there are more factors in play but with the right equipment 30gb be loads

It might run a bit on those speeds but I dont think it would be consistent. Also, is the supplier giving you true 4k?

Getting fed up with my current supplier. Constant freezing and the "HD" channels aren't HD in the slightest. Tried Vader and it's the exact same.

Currently on a test from fastiptv and it's the best picture I've ever seen. Proper 1080p HD and for BT sport it has an option for 50fps channels. Absolutely flawless.
