I use tvheadend (as backend) and Kodi as frontend. Works well for me.
I like that tvheadend can map multiple services/muxes (m3u channels) to the same channel, so if one channel doesn’t work it silently switches to another service/mux.
I use guide2go to download EPG via schedulesdirect, with excellent quality (including posters and icons).
It is a bit tedious to setup all the mappings in tvheadend but it can be automated with some scripts that give the same channel the same tvg-id and set the tvh-prio properties. Only have a hundred or so channels that I use so I just do it manually.
Agreed. I was using TiviMate on my NVIDIA Shield TV when I still had an active IPTV subscription, and nothing comes close in terms of usability and ease of use. I wish legit IPTV providers could offer us a way to watch TV from them with all those apps.
I would like to but for some reason I get This app is not available for any of your devices message. I only see the TiviMate Companion app. I’m using Android version 13.
I use Tivimate on AndroidTV. I have iMplayer TV installed on my AndroidTV as well, but I don’t use it frequently. However, I do appreciate having iMplayer installed on my phone.
special mention for these 3 applications which are not too bad either:

Where would I get the m3u files for the iptv? Would you have anyhow good recommendation
I’m personally checking out this Top 50 List but if anyone has a better list or source we are all ears.
As a simple test for trying out an IPTV app I’m using this m3u source. It is what another IPTV app called Hypnotix uses as the default m3u source.
You should try Tivimate for android.

Same setup here. When I got everything set up, I couldn’t believe how I lived this long without it.
Using TiviMate on my Google TV and it’s got a great (and customizable) UI.

On Windows ProgDVB is really good (but I’m not a Windows user BTW) on Linux I use iptvnator
For IPTVNator, which video player do you use? I tried videojs and html5 and nothing would come up.
