The Main Options Compared
Fire TV Stick 4K Max
Cheap, fast enough for 4K, hides behind the TV. Best choice for most people.
Android TV / Google TV Box
More storage and ports, runs TiviMate brilliantly.
Nvidia Shield TV
The fastest option, with Ethernet and USB for recording.
Apple TV 4K
Smooth and reliable, but no TiviMate. Good if you are an iPhone household.
MAG and Formuler
Traditional IPTV boxes with portal-style menus. Good if you prefer a set-top box feel.
No Box at All
Many Samsung and LG TVs can run an IPTV app directly.

Avoid "Fully Loaded" Boxes
Boxes sold "fully loaded" are usually standard devices with an app and someone else’s login installed. You pay a mark-up and do not control the account.
Buy a normal device from a mainstream retailer and add your own subscription instead. It takes about five minutes and the account is in your name.
Whatever you buy, check it on the free trial before you subscribe.
