Norway. MAG 524. Nordic channels are in the list and playing. Firmware is current. Stable over the first week of use. Good enough for daily use.

France. Quick note on RMC Sport — all channels from the RMC bouquet are there and in good quality. Tested RMC Sport 1 and 2 during a live match. Excellent HD quality, no buffering.

OTT Navigator is the best IPTV app for browsing large VOD (Video on Demand) libraries. While TiviMate dominates for live TV management, OTT Navigator's poster-based VOD interface is in a different class. What Makes OTT Navigator Different OTT Navigator's VOD section displays content with...

UK user, north of England. Using TiviMate on a Mecool KM7 Plus Android TV box, wired Ethernet, 150 Mbps connection. Evening performance this month has been excellent — zero buffering on HD channels.

Portal URL errors after a long working period usually mean the provider changed their server address. Check your email for a provider announcement.

Smart TV hardware has also improved. Built-in apps no longer need a dedicated box for most people.
