iptv newbie questions

[billhiggs]

so what exactly does one need to be able to receive iptv?
obviously the equipment, and a donation, and what kind or speed of internet access must you have?

thanks

You need the equipment but not a donation. Install Kodi and the addons you choose and the channels are FREE. I would suggest a speed of 20 mb or more to be able to stream HD and Blueray content without buffering issues.

Thanks, so I take it a sustained download speed of 100 kB/s wont cut it huh?

You need to upgrade your internet if you want to stream without buffering problems :yes:

Try it on your computer and see what happens. 4 to 5 mb should be able to stream sd content, HD content will be a problem
