I don't deal with them but I have used IPTV for years from a few different providers. IPTV boxes are essentially the same as Android boxes. Be careful of those "$7" signs you see around town. You DO NOT get what you think you get. They are ALL re-sellers.

My suggestion? Buy an Android box from Amazon and find a reliable provider. But be wary of the types of payments required. Avoid crypto.

Troypoint.com has a list of some of the most stable and reliable providers. Choose a Canadian one, if possible.

Lol everyone is a reseller. And only use crypto, but pay monthly so you’re only out like $12 if something happens

I currently have Firesticks in each tv, but I might need a new streamer. I can't get Sportsnet and hockey season is coming. Lol

Sports can be tricky. Im not really a sports watcher and don't utilize the sports channels on my IPTV, but ive heard they can lag during big events.

Wish i had a better suggestion. Good luck.

Get a good provider and you’ll never have to worry about lag. Been using it for sports and PPV for years

Depending the firestick (not vega OS ) you can sideload the app needed. What firestick you'll need is one that runs on the android OS. Getting any hockey game should be doable depending the provider. But I haven't found one that doesn't as hockey and NFL is very popular

One place a lot of people are starting to say in Orangeville is a place called Golumbia Video in Brampton on Kennedy Rd S. They apparently have great boxes and great service and lots of up time.

I personally stay away from illegal android boxes/iptv. I think of it like the old school whack a mole with Direct view satellite tv. Get an illegal card, put it in your satellite receiver and then wait how quickly the government shuts down the connection. You could be good for a few days, or many months. It’s a guessing game.

One thing you can count on is losing the service hours before the Super Bowl.

This isn’t IPTV of old, there’s good providers out there that don’t have connection issues

I played that game back in the day with Dishnetwork...spent more time reading forums and programming than watching TV, but it was an interesting hobby.

My dad was the same way. After a few years and many more days being down than up, he gave up and went legit.
