Review of paid IPTV providers using OTT technology

Nowadays there are many IPTV providers. These can be both Internet providers and paid IPTV services.

If everything is more or less clear with providers, with paid IPTV we need an explanation.

These are services that rebroadcast the signal from satellite channels for a lower fee than if you bought packages.

Those. the service buys access to paid channels and shares the signal with users.

You spend much less than if you subscribed to paid satellite channel packages yourself.

As you understand, you are unlikely to find free cardsharing.

That’s why we chose the most stable, inexpensive services from IPTV providers who also provide archives.

If you know any other IPTV services, share them in the comments.

ILookTV (ex-Edem)

iLookTV
The ILookTV service (formerly called Edem) provides one of the cheapest access to IPTV playlists.

For just 1 USD per month you receive a list of more than 1000 channels.

These 1000 include many regional channels. For example, Uzbekistan, India, Moldova, etc.

The service has added several servers to choose from. It is enough to find the most stable one for you.

Selecting a server

The service has an archive for four days, and on the forum you can find a link to the EPG list for channels (program guide).

You can also find tips on connecting to different devices on the forum: from Smart TV to media set-top boxes and phones.

A test mode is available, but for that kind of money you can evaluate both the speed and quality for a month.

Registration begins on Edem, but due to the impossibility of registering on the service, it is redirected to ILook.TV.

iLook TV

I recently did a video review of this service, but unfortunately, YouTube deleted the video for violating rights, so I’ll have to make do with text. ilook is a service that belongs to Eden TV and has all the same functionality, but differs only in design. In addition, as many users have noticed, some channels are more stable, perhaps this is due to their own servers, but I cannot assure you of this. Everything is the same: cost $1 per month, 700+ TV channels, archive for 4 days and a test period for 24 hours. Try it!

Glanz.TV

Glanz TV
You may not have even heard of this service. It is quite young, but its origins come from Stalker portals.

After registration, you get access to your Personal Account, where you can choose only one tariff - Premium.

But you can choose for how long you activate the tariff - 24 hours for 20 euro cents, 30 days for 2 Euros or 360 days for 24 €.

In total, more than 400 channels are available - both Russian and international. Including Ukrainian, Belarusian, Moldavian, Kazakh, Armenian, German, etc.

The main channels are presented in both HD versions and different time zones.

Channels

In addition to many HD channels, there are also 4K channels. There are 11 of them in total.

As for the stability of the connection, on the site you can choose one of five servers or use the automatic selection of the nearest one.

Server selection

The channels are constantly being updated, and GlanzPlayer has even been created for Android users. True, you won’t find it on Google Play, and it doesn’t work well yet. You can download it only from the link on the telegram channel @glanzPlayer.

Available for all users, which allows you to connect up to three devices simultaneously from one IP address.

After registration, you can connect two devices via a playlist and one device via the Stalker portal.

The service is young, but has already managed to more than double the cost of its services. Previously, they also asked for $1 for access for a month.

For just 5€ per month you get more than 1300 channels. Moreover, payment for a year at once will cost only 50 €.

But there is a small nuance. These 1,500 channels include “dubs” - regular and HD versions, as well as divisions by time zones.

For example, only the TNT channel has four versions: regular, HD, time offset +2 and +4. And Channel One has six versions.

Otherwise, you have good quality IPTV channels.

Only for quality you will have to pay not only with money, but also with not the fastest buffering.

Switching between channels can take up to 5 seconds.

Official site

OTT-Club

OTT-Club
One of the most stable and inexpensive providers. He has one undeniable advantage that others do not have.

This is per-request pricing. Those. you only pay when you watch IPTV.

There are four connection options. In addition to on-demand pricing, there are Lite, Medium and Full.

They differ in the number of channels, as well as the ability to watch the archive. It's only missing from Lite.

Tariffs for on-demand viewing look like this:

SDTV - $0.0228 per hour HDTV - $0.04568 per hour FullHDTV - $0.0912 per hour

If you don't watch TV often, it's better to choose this package.

At the time of writing, the service provided access to 247 channels. There is also a referral program. When you connect using your link you receive a discount.

After registering on the site, you receive a unique key, which can be blocked if you watch IPTV on several devices not on the same IP.

To determine the quality during registration, you can select a test period.

How to add IPTV playlists to OTT player

In fact, everything is very simple and even much more convenient than usual, it’s just not familiar. Instead of entering a link or downloading a playlist directly into the player, this must be done in your personal account on the official website. Let me show you everything in detail:

1. You must register on the official website - https://ottplayer.es/account/registration
2. Fill out all fields and confirm your mailbox.
3. Go to your personal account, in the “playlists” section on the right there will be a “New playlist” menu

Enter the name and link to the m3u playlist (you can get playlists here -). Click "Submit".

1. Now, log into the application on your device and enter the username and password that you specified on the site when registering.
2. Done, enjoy watching.

By and large there is nothing more to tell. The OTT player is a simple application that is quite easy to understand. If you have any difficulties or questions, I will be happy to answer in the comments.

Shara-TV

Shara-TV

Despite the name, don't look for balls here. The issue price is $2 for the basic package.

You are offered a designer, and you choose the channels you want to watch. To connect to all 400 channels you will have to pay 12 dollars.

If you are not ready to pay that kind of money for a pig in a poke, you will be offered to test the channels during the day.

There is an archive for three days.

You can connect up to three devices using one IP address.

Conclusion - comparison table

Everyone chooses a suitable IPTV provider for themselves, focusing on its position in the ranking, the provision of services and the cost of the package. If you don’t want to pay in vain, then choose stable and proven providers who are in the TOP of the list. However, like everything in this world, the situation regarding position in the ranking can change. Therefore, stay tuned for new products.

What is IPTV

IPTV is a modern technology that allows you to display various programs, shows, cartoons, videos, etc. via the Internet protocol. In other words, the data is broadcast in digital form, then re-encoded into the format that is reproduced on the TV panel. IPTV users can take advantage of all the benefits of Internet television from anywhere in the world, provided that there is stable high-speed Internet there.

Also, the user is given the opportunity to independently select the list of channels that he wants to watch. The number of channels can be absolutely any, naturally, within the limits of the channels provided by the operator. The principle of IPTV television is “Video on demand”. This means that the user independently selects those programs and programs that he wants to watch at the moment. This feature allows you to save time spent downloading content from the Internet.

IPTV television works without problems with Smart TV. You will never miss your favorite movie because you can put the program on record. And then turn it on at a convenient time. A special feature is that recording can be done from several channels simultaneously, while the user is watching a program on a completely different channel. All videos are broadcast in HD quality, provided that you have chosen channels that provide high-definition broadcasts. Music lovers will also be pleased, because the technology supports multi-channel sound and a choice of audio tracks is implemented.

The advantage of paid IPTV television is its interactive use, which allows you to pause the program you are watching and start watching it again a little later. You can also rewind and watch the episode again if you wish.

A convenient feature is to set a reminder when the movie starts. If an advertisement starts during the broadcast, and you do not want to watch it, then you can set an alert signal about the start of the film, and in the meantime, watch what is happening on other channels.

Sharavoz

Sharavoz
There are no balls here either. Although, perhaps their name comes from cardsharing.

The service has both unlimited and per-request pricing. The main advantage of the portal is the free test.

After registration, you receive a bonus: +15% to the amount of the first balance replenishment, a day of free access to VIP MAX and IPTV packages.

One package costs $3. There is a referral program.

Hmara.tv

Hmara.tv
This service is Ukrainian, but it also has Russian channels.

In total, access to 230 TV channels is provided, 30 of them in HD quality. There are only 100 channels in the 7-day archive.

But the bonus is access to a video archive of more than 10 thousand films. It is also possible to view 30 HD webcams.

Registration by phone number gives a seven-day free trial period, and by e-mail – only for a day.

There are four types of packages in total. The cheapest Basic package for 100 channels will cost $1.45. The most expensive for 237 channels is Premium - $6.26.

All packages have daily pricing. That is, if you are away and do not watch IPTV, you do not need to pay.

Official site

IPStream

IpStream is the same service that few people know about. Not the most convenient site, far from the most pleasant design, but it doesn’t matter, because the playlists are GOOD! There is no question of brakes, buffering, otherwise I would not have written about it.

The main feature of this service is that all packages are divided into countries. In other words, if you are from Russia, you connect only Russian channels and do not pay for the rest. Also, this provider can connect many other countries, these are the packages:

• All channels/countries – 3 USD/month.
• Films and TV series – 1 USD/month.
• Russian TV – 0.99 USD/month.
• Kazakhstan – 0.6 USD/month.
• Armenia – 0.6 USD/month.
• Ukraine – 0.6 USD/month.
• IPTV of the countries of the union (lv,lt,bel,ua,az,am,ge,kz) – 1.5 USD/month.
• Latvia – 0.99 USD/month.
• Lithuania – 0.99 USD/month.
• Germany – 1.02 USD/month.
• Poland — 1.02 USD/month.
• France - 1.02 USD/month.
• Adults – 0.51 USD/month.

Impressive, isn't it? In addition, you pay not per month, but per day, i.e. You can pay for a subscription for 3 days or a month, and also turn it off at any time and unused funds will be returned to your balance. Try it!

I hope you liked the selection. If I forgot something and you want to add/ask, welcome in the comments.

IPTV (interactive television) is a modern digital television technology received via a network using the IP protocol. In other words, this is a new generation of television.

Let us remind you that Belarus took 4th place in the ranking of countries with the cheapest Internet + IPTV tariffs. In this list of the cheapest offers, Ukraine (5.3 € per month) is in first place, followed by Moldova (7.3 €) and Slovenia (9 € each). Belarus is in fourth place with 11.79 € per month. The most expensive tariff in the world is... Tajikistan! Users pay 566 € per month to the Babilon-T operator for a speed of 1 Mbit/s.

And finally we will choose the best option.

conclusions

There are many solutions, many tariffs for every taste and color. For some it will be beneficial to connect IPTV separately, and for others it will be beneficial in conjunction with high-speed Internet. In any case, the best solution can be offered by Atlant Telecom and Persik.by. If we compare with smartphones, then Atlant is like an iPhone, and Persik is some kind of Meizu, which is the same in functionality as an iPhone, and maybe better in some situations, but not popular. The final choice is yours.
