Over 10 years ago i made my first attempt at developing an online iptv media box.
Named it the leechbox later USA tv i ran it with rundump and windows batch files
the interface was done in visual basic.There was another fella who did the Pc box
if i remember right his name was fessor.Coding it was fun but a hell of a lot of work.
Iptv sure has come a long way!
