    I use tvheadend (as backend) and Kodi as frontend. Works well for me.

    I like that tvheadend can map multiple services/muxes (m3u channels) to the same channel, so if one channel doesn’t work it silently switches to another service/mux.

    I use guide2go to download EPG via schedulesdirect, with excellent quality (including posters and icons).

    It is a bit tedious to setup all the mappings in tvheadend but it can be automated with some scripts that give the same channel the same tvg-id and set the tvh-prio properties. Only have a hundred or so channels that I use so I just do it manually.

      I’m personally checking out this Top 50 List but if anyone has a better list or source we are all ears.

      As a simple test for trying out an IPTV app I’m using this m3u source. It is what another IPTV app called Hypnotix uses as the default m3u source.

    I use Tivimate on AndroidTV. I have iMplayer TV installed on my AndroidTV as well, but I don’t use it frequently. However, I do appreciate having iMplayer installed on my phone.

    special mention for these 3 applications which are not too bad either:

    On Windows ProgDVB is really good (but I’m not a Windows user BTW) on Linux I use iptvnator

      For IPTVNator, which video player do you use? I tried videojs and html5 and nothing would come up.
