SmartIPTV and Smart-STB are just apps which allow IPTV Content to stream on your device.

IPTV is TV delivered over internet protocol (ip)
STB is a set top box for streaming media such as Roku, Mag Box, Apple TV, Shield, etc. Generally you get IPTV through a STB connected to your TV or a STB Emulator app.

Fire stick would be the cheapest and best option

cheers for that, have just ordered on, does this have to be jailbroken or anything like that or how do I add root-hosting to it?

Stbemu can be sideloaded to it, theres plenty of guides on YouTube or ask on here when you get it.

Actually on thinking, Root have there own Android app which works great too. I can't remember if it's in Amazon store or you have to sideload it too.

STB Emu is second to none. Very easy tob use interface. You can find videos on YouTube on how to install it. You will need a program called adbLink to sideload it.

1. Download relevant software (AdbLink/StbEmu)
2. Open adbLink
3. Enter IP address for a new user and then connect
4. Select install APK and install STB Emu
5. Setup portal details
