Hello Richard, I can´t help with the TV but if you are looking to rent out your property the more important issue is getting a Tourist Licence. If you search under Tourist Licence in Everywhere, you will come across an excellent 6 part post by Davebev1 on this subject. These licences are currently taking about 6 months to be issued and you cannot even advertise before it is obtained.

Be it on MAG box or Firestick IPTV is inherently unreliable, if that is your key requirement then you'd probably be better off with a rebroadcasting service such as provided by DVBLabs

Be very careful about IPTV, it is not all it is cracked up to be or what an installer might claim. You need a strong and stable internet connection otherwise your TV picture will freeze and you will loose channels at times. We were taken in, got no refund from our installer and had to look around for other options and got Mike at Satmart Installations ( www.satellitetvtorrevieja.com ) to install a 1.4 metre dish. No premium sports channels but at least we now have TV we can view and the plus side is I have to go to the pub to watch the football. Not sure if he covers your area but contact him for a free price quotation and what you get for your money.

Hi Richard

The world is full of of people telling you what is good and what is not we have been here 16 years on the costa blanca and have dealt with probably over 3,000 clients plus because I paid into the Spanish system I get a Pension here. I have a vast knowledge of satellite & IPTV plus the Kodi, Kodi and fire stick I would not recommend because its uncontrolled and needs updating far to regular, where as if you have your own satellite dish you get all the free to from as little as 295€ or you can have IPTV which we all know is not legal and technically neither is a dish as no one is getting licence fee's and rebroadcasters are getting the signal free and charging you for the pleasure. If you want more information then contact us via our web www.aafreeenglishtv.com or look at our 2 adds in the right hand column give us a ring come and see it live. Nothing is free in this world your fire stick might be great for a week or 3 months or 12 months but it will drive you mad when you want something specific Man U Vs liverpool etc will not be able to get it.

Good Luck

Pete AATV

Hi Richard, I agree with the other posters, but if you do want IPTV on a firestick then download the smart IPTV app it costs about 6eu for the life of the device and then go on eBay and look for an IPTV subscription, don't bother paying any more than £20 for 12 months but be prepared some will last a month others longer there's no guarantee.

There's a lot of nonsense talk on this thread.

Yes, there are poor IPTV suppliers, too many. However, there are some good companies out there - you just need to not be looking on Facebook and more looking towards companies established locally, who don't just have a mobile phone number - but do have recommendations on forums / local forums.

My job has been to test hardware and services for over 5 years & i've seen plenty ;-) Rule of thumb, you can only go so cheap. The problem is you get into the realms of multiple re-shared services and too many clients on servers - which you simply can't do that cheaply. Hosting costs - so cheap, is cheap for a reason - but good services do exist.

Whilst I am not a fan of Informir - the manufacturer of the MAG boxes (they are idiots when it comes to updating software), they are in a different league to Amazon Firesticks.

People are under the illusion that Amazon Firesticks are these 'easy to use' devices. They are, as long as you don't do anything other than use Amazon Prime or the content Amazon wants you to use.

Those selling IPTV on Firesticks are selling 'hacked' versions, which they side-load Kodi and then you are in the realms of the same as Android boxes (Firestick is a skinned middling Android stick), as you've removed the Amazon software and now reliant on the most unreliable TV system available - Kodi. Why unreliable - as no one owns the streams, you don't know how many people on them - empty promises. Junk.

Ideally for IPTV a MAG box, newer Ministra model and a supplier that will give you a test - most will if you ask. Otherwise, you'll keep buying half working apps and cheap services which rarely deliver or for long at all.
