    Default turbohd's iptv service. Fire TV Cube good, the bad, and the ugly

    Thanks to turbohd for turning in my dead iks credits for iptv.
    We spoke. I mentioned using my Enigma2 receiver.
    Beast was patient enough to spend time with me to find the right plugin and it worked perfectly.
    I think I tried his service for a month.

    Turbo suggested a 'cheap fire stick'. I have a Fire TV Cube. It works great. Except for:

    The good: Apk installed easily. Up and running fast. Great picture and sound.

    The bad : It 'kicks me out'. If I leave the Max apk I have to restart the Cube. No ifs, ands, or buts.
    Port forwarded my router after a traffic log look-see. Tried a direct connecton to my cable modem.
    Watch tv for a bit, it kicks me out. Try to launch the app again. Black screen or pink spinny thing forever.
    Settings>My Fire TV>Restart...or pull the plug. Only way to get Max to run again.

    The ugly:
    Emailed Turbo. He responded that 'it had to be me that everyone else and him ran great with no problomo'.
    I didn't even want to use the Cube and he suggested 'i go buy a cheap fire stick'. Don't want nor need one.
    Asked again multiple times if I could try an Enigma2 version. I had the MAC handy, just needed a user/pass.
    No "real answer". "The E2 version had many problems". Yet Beast's worked perfectly and never a reboot.
    Kept emailing after exhausting all troubleshooting on my end. Netflix....check....flawless. Kodi...check....flawless.
    Plex...check...perfect.
    Then got an email reply from someone who mentioned he didn't know who turbo was (from his email address).

    My iks was great when it worked and when it didn't it was the normal ecm or turbo couldn't get to it because he was 'out on the ranch hunting'....or 'on the road'.

    Anyone else using a Fire TV Cube with iptv that works great or not? If so and it's running good....what apk is loaded to do it. Just let me use my Enigma2 box dude!

    The shield is good until one of these companies figure to make a good box with better memory space as the shield.

    My neighbor has used max on firestick for 3 weeks with no issues at all. Just to give perspective. Not defending anything.

    Could you please expand on the stb emu?
    Is that the max apk or another?
    I really think I've bought my last streaming box of any kind.

    Its a different apk(stb emu)....works as good or better then most boxes around. The max apk is relying on google play services to work and amazon does not support google crap. If the max apk is a must ,you need a chromecast or google supported android. When you go to general settings it appears to be designed for chromecast.

    Thanks alot. I think I found and installed the right one. The max apk being android suited makes sense now.
    Either way as it stands my cube with max is totally unusable. I've emailed turbohd many times asking to swap for a mac/user/pass method.

    All responses from him keep telling me he checks it several times a day and it works perfectly.
    No interest at all from him to do the swap. Today no reply at all (over a day waiting).

    Also from the traffic from him here it seems he has bailed from satfix.
    His email "language" makes it appear as if whoever is responding is not the same turbohd I've contacted in the past.

    I had not so far in the past renewed my sub for a year with his iks service. I realize that subs can die any time. And whether turbohd has or has not given a free month to his customers (out of his pocket, as he says....part of it lined from the money I gave him for the sub).
    It makes no difference. I haven't been able to watch more than 10 minutes of anything on max since the setup of it.

    Big suckaroo.

    I have the cheap "Fire Stick 4K" and have the same problem. If I stop streaming on Max for a short time, then come back, I have to pull the Fire stick power to get it to start again. I connected Fire Stick power to a switched AC outlet on my home stereo to make it easier to reboot by briefly by shutting the stereo down. Many channels are not watchable lately, eg. like CNN - freezes a couple of times then goes black & never comes back. But others are good.

    You may as well just move on from that guy his support has gone down hill bigtime for the last while seems like every month i had to get a hold of him to add a new month onto my sub even though i would subscribe for 6 months at a time he seemed to only add 1 month at a time and it was constantly going down every month around midnight on the same date as my renewal was purchased and id always lose a day or so just trying to get a hold of him to reset it and whenever i ask about why it seemed to be a coincidence that it went down every month on the same date he wouldn't answer me. I think there was a lot of robbing Peter to pay Paul going on at the end imo...
