These are paid streams. Paid streams are ideal for people that want reliability and ease-of-use, ie; villa owners who do holiday lets and want an easy to use system that has TV, movies and sports in multiple languages that a holidaymaker can use easily (without being on the phone to you p!ssing and whinging because they can't get their fix of Eastenders).
Shortlist the services that match your expectations (channels list, price etc) from this list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/137Yw178ruq_v7_33al_B1PoGPyuGCANDNhLnDGXdrVg/edit?usp=sharing
Then ideally open a support ticket to check their response times and support quality. Ask for a trial and check the actual quality of the streams. If you like it subscribe for 1 month and if you dont like it you can subscribe to another service.
Great Post Ironworks, thanks!
Thanks for the thanks ;)
Always glad to share the good info I find.
Just as a little follow-up... the things people might consider when shortlisting suitable candidates:
My eye was initially drawn to Ace TV via their reseller Beams. More info here: Beams TV - www.beams-tv.com (http://beams-tv.com/aff.php?aff=5)
Their stream is available to work on a large number of devices ranging from Smart TV's (the streams sit inside an App on the TV called SmartIPTV - icon image is below for sake of easy recognition), as well as MAG Box, Amazon Firestick, Roku, Kodi, Apple, Android, PC and more.
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/HHw1MSGkH2vOEvsuwrWd4RCCjiX416Cf0T8ogm5G4JiWUSX50y_5QfsXd6R4LjIp6w=w75)
Importantly, their stream is available in bandwidths ranging from 1500kbps - 9000kbps - perfect for the slow internet that we are burdened with here on the island.
It's only £10 a month for everything - all sports, live TV, movies, catch-up, box sets, etc,. You can actually get it for as little as £6 monthly for a full year pre-paid, but personally I'm not a fan of pre-paying in advance for an illegal service that could disappear at a moments notice.
24 hour free trial available, so you can try it risk-free and free-free!!
Decent 'How to Setup' documentation on www.beams-tv.com (http://beams-tv.com/aff.php?aff=5)
Great information, Ironworks. Thanks.
I am happy to pay, but don't want to give a credit card that they can take money from each month. Especially when they are in Belize (?) Is there an option that allows payment for just one month at a time w/o ongoing committment? Or PayPal?
Thanks
Yes, you can pay by Paypal a month at a time.
Had a look for the smart iptv app & it doesn't appear on Apple shop ?? Is that correct ??
Apple users can download the GSE IPTV App...
Click top left 3 lines and click Xtream-Codes API
Click the + icon, enter BEAMS-TV into the name
Enter http://www.beams-tv.stream:25461 in the url section
Enter your username and password in the relevant boxes.
Click add then you will see BEAMS-TV in the list press it and then click Install EPG Data.
You will see 2 sections - LIVE AND VOD
The rest is pretty simple.
Various install guides:

Thanks again Ironworks for another great post!!!
Will I need a VPN or DNS to use these services?
Keith, you won't need VPN or DNS
Thanks Ironworks.
Loaded the Smart iptv app on my Samsung Smart tv £5 for life, and then used Ace tv £10 a month to load the channels.
Great picture quality and selection of channels, occasional buffering but still worth £10 a month, a lot better than the more expensive Filmon.
Ace is a great service
Does anyone know if the smart iptv app is available on a Sony TV ?
Not sure if it works on Sony, but it will work on an Android box which you can buy in Electron in Rosario for about â,¬50 , comes complete with a TV remote and a keyboard.
In fact Ace have options for most devices... PC, phone, MAG box, Android box, Roku, Firestick etc,.
I run Ace TV stream on a MAG (ex ZKTV) in my front room, and on a MAG software emulator called STBemu on an Amazon Firestick in my bedroom.
More info here: Beams TV - www.beams-tv.com (http://beams-tv.com/aff.php?aff=5) - you'll also find installation guides there for all of the available options.
Thanks for the information Ironworks, I am using Ace TV on my firestick whilst on the island and it works better than any other subscription I have tried 👍👍
Glad to help, and glad to read that you're happy with your TV system.
There are better things to do here on the island than waste time worrying about the telly :D
I have just signed up to Ace tv, and I have to say I am not impressed.
I can't get it to go without constant buffering or freezing.
>:(
That`s odd, I signed up in September and have occasional buffering, but most nights no problems at all.
All good last night watching BBC 1 and 2 only.
Ive used a number of iptv services on the island, including ZKTV and found that they all suffer at some point from a bit of buffering for a very short time. The picture can stop for a second or 2 and then it will restart.
This usually happens when the contention rate (too many people using the internet) so the speed drops. It usually happens during the evenings when lots of people are on the internet, especially if a big football match or event is on, worst buffering/dropouts happen when it`s Barcelona v Madrid.
Never had a problem with buffering with any service during the day, even at 3 pm on a Saturday, as the Spanish tend not to watch things during the day (and their matches tend to be in the evening).
Thanks for your comments. The problem with buffering too much on catchup is that it eventually freezes, as it misses huge chunks of the prog. then there doesn't appear to be a way of recovering w/o the need to restart the prog and watch the whole thing over again.
I am using a Droidbox with Kodi etc and loads of apps, so wonder if clearing it down of some garbage may help? I'll try again tonight, then give it a miss if there's no improvement.
I have not had buffering problems on the main channels with ZKTV (BBC1, ITV1 etc.) but get occasional buffering issues with the football channels as I think that they need more bandwidth. I had an Android box but abandoned using that due to the poor performance and the technology stretching my IT competence. If you want to give ZKTV a go they offer a 14 day free trial with no commitment.
No thanks.
Just reset the box, re-installed and updated the app., cleared off all unused apps and stopped others from auto-updating in kodi.
Now seems to work w/o buffering.
Ace gave me another 24hr free test, before I take the £10 option.
Fingers crossed.
Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but many of the channels on Ace are available in both standard definition and high definition, some are even ultra-high definition.
Here on Fuerteventura, with internet allegedly powered by goats on treadmills, your safest choice is to select the standard definition channels in order to avoid buffering.
My own experience, admittedly in Corralejo - where the internet is fairly reliable between 5 and 8mb - is zero buffering issues on standard def, some buffering on HD, and 'don't waste your time even trying' on Ultra HD.
I would also be inclined to by a Mag256 box if you are going down the IPTV route. They are made for IPTV and not cluttered with all the other software and Apps that Android boxes have.
Just be aware that there a lot of clones on the likes of Ebay. These people are reputable sellers.....
https://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/Infomir
This is a bit of a geeky post for the nerds and fiddlers amongst us...
Firstly I agree with post above, the easiest and most foolproof solution is a MAG 256 box.
For those with Android boxes, clear all the junk software off first (possibly even a factory reset), then I can recommend STBemu (available on Google Play) it basically emulates an Infomir MAG box.
Ironically, i have an actual MAG 255 in the front room, and STBemu set to emulate a MAG 256 running on an Amazon Fire in the bedroom - the picture is better in the bedroom running on the emulator!
Why use STBemu instead of any other software? It's simply got better menus and is altogether easier to use once set up, and more like using a SKY/Virgin set-top box than any of the other options I've found.
Even my wifes mum can use it, and she pisses the bed and dribbles on herself ;)
Ace specific STBemu settings here:

Thanks for the comments. Yes, I only view on sd channels.
Buffering is reduced, but I cannot get full functionality of the Ace catchup option. Maybe I'm missing something in Kodi.
So, as I use a Droidbox with Kodi, can I clear it down completely and load this STBemu emulator and start again, or should I buy a Firestick?

I have a 250 box and have had to use Spectro fork to get it to use Kodi 17. Do you know if I will I be likely to be able to install both STBemu and fork Kodi on a 250 box ?

Yes for some reason Kodi does not seem to play nicely with Ace-TV catch-up, not sure why because as soon as I had the issue I just switched from Kodi to STBemu.
You can download and install STBemu from Google Play without having to delete anything on your Droidbox - unless it's short on space - aka might as well try it first before you commit to deleting anything.
P.S. It does work on Firestick, I set one up for a friend and he's happy with it, but my own STBemu setup is on an Amazon Fire 2 box.

Genuine answer... if you are talking about an Infomir MAG 250 box, I have no idea, sorry.
I've messed with Apple TV, Roku, Firestick, Fire TV 2, usually sideloading Apps that are not supported, also faffed around with a number of different droid boxes - but I've never ever tried to root or even sideload anything on an Infomir MAG box.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
I do know you can achieve what you want with a regular droid box, I have set up a friends box with both sideloaded Kodi as well as STBemu, as he wanted to retain Kodi for continued access to Exodus/Covenant.

Fortunately I live in that idyllic netherworld that exists when you've been married for 25+ years - a netherworld where the wife just tuts disdainfully at anything I say, or write, and then promptly gets back to pretending that I don't actually exist at all. Besides which, she's far too busy shaving her mothers beard to pay any mind to me ;)
So basically, you get on very well together. ;D

We do. In fairness, i also love her mother, she always brings me big boxes of Twinings English Breakfast Tea when she comes to visit. That alone means I can forgive her hideous ugliness (which thankfully she didn't pass down to her daughter). :D
Hi Ironworks,
Hope you don`t mind me asking a question regarding TV options as you seem to be the most knowledgeable 🙂
I have been trying to come up with a supplier/system to give me UK tv for ages. I am not a techi so don`t want the hassle of the mag box & costantly having to change/load new streams with kodi etc. Also, don`t want a pay monthly service as we are only out on three or four two week visits a year.
I have tried HoolaTV & MuchoTV but both constantly buffer which is a pity as they give just what I want.
However, Netflix never seems to buffer. We are supposed to have 6mg download but usually goes between 3 and 6 although can be lower at night.
Cheers . . Ron
I bow to ironworks far superior knowledge but for what it's worth we use Amazon firestick and the TVplayer app on there to get live TV for BBC 1and2 ITV channels 4 and 5. You will need a smart dns but it's pretty cheap. We use get getflix as recommended on here by ironworks. You can also get the catchup apps for all those channels as well. You can put the dns settings in the firestick and it's pretty easy or you can put them in the router.
Cheers... Keith
Apologies for delay in replying, I'm not a regular on here.
If truth be told, if you're only here for a few weeks a year then you could just settle for the few UK language channels that are broadcast on Spanish TV.
Here's a list of TDT (Freeview) channels that air here on the island: http://www.tdt1.com/canales-fuerteventura/
Of those I know these can be switched to English language audio (on a TV that supports such an option): Divinity, DMAX, Disney Channel, DKISS, TEN, BeMad tv HD. All of those show predominantly American TV shows.
Next step after that, first you're going to need Internet that is constant at between 4-6mb - because everything from this line down is an Internet based TV solution.
Cheapest paid option is to use a VPN (about £2 monthly) and if you have a Smart TV with Internet options, and set it up as if it was in the UK, then you are ready to roll. For older TV's you can bring an Amazon Firestick (£25) with you, and again you'll have all of your UK TV Apps at hand on any TV you plug the Firestick in to.
Beyond that, Netflix is always a good option. Reliable and has enough content to keep even the couchiest of potatoes happy.
After that, it's all a bit of a mish mash of good services that cost money, and free services that are often a: unreliable in terms of buffering, b: can disappear without notice.
My system here is loosely equivalent to having a full SKY package in the UK, it's as easy to use as a proper SKY system, has been every bit as reliable as Netflix as regards lack of buffering, and costs me â,¬10 monthly.
There, that's my tuppence worth.

...latest list of various stream providers, because Ace have just announced they've been nobbled and are shutting down as of Sunday.
I'll log in as soon as and let you know which one I opt for, I'm already testing a few.
The way things are going Ironworks, do you not think it is a mistake to pay for “another†service !! Seems like they are all going the same way. Thanks for the updates by the way, always appreciated.
I decided to try the tv service on Apple TV as I hope this may be less prone to disruption. Any thoughts ?
Apple TV looks promising, i have an Apple box in my bedroom and it's all fine and dandy running through Getflix DNS.
Dodgy options are always a risk, they are dodgy after all. I always warn people against signing up for supposedly cheaper long term deals. I myself never buy more than a month at a time.
I know 2 people here on FV that paid a 12 months sub on Ace, one had 10 months up to now so he's quids in, the other has only had 3 months so his gamble didn't pay off.
What's next? I'll probably try a few from that spreadsheet that have trials, and then pick one - it's a 5 minute switchover process.
Longer term, well i have a Freeview Play box on it's way here from Blighty, so I'll be testing that next week on a VPN.
I also suspect that we'll shortly have some kind of legit service.
It went that way with music... I used to steal music off Napster and Limewire, i now have a legit Spotify sub for convenience.
It went that way with movies... I used to steal films and shows from PirateBay and other torrent sites, I now have a legit Netflix sub for convenience.
So hopefully live TV next.
Anyway, I'll be faffing with alternatives to Ace over the next week or so, and I'll update on here for the benefit of anyone that is interested in my geeky blah blah.
Is it necessary to run through a DNS for Apple ?? I didn`t think that would be necessary. Incidentally we have just opted for that in all our TV`s, UK & Fuerte. Had Sky but it was heading for £90 per month now for TV, broadband & home phone so have changed to Vodaphone broadband only & Apple TV for the tv supply, gets less channels but hey ho, didn`t look at half of the 300 we had anyway
Not sure if DNS is specifically required for Apple, I'd guess it would be because iPlayer etc usually do a region check.
I cannot be more specific because I have DNS set up on my modem, so everything in my house is therefore using DNS by default, including Apple TV box.
Update: Anyone on Beams TV - www.beams-tv.com (http://beams-tv.com/aff.php?aff=5) is fine, they have moved from Ace to another provider.
Update 2: I myself have moved this afternoon from Ace to Beams. Channels and VOD all completely identical other than menu colours changed from grey/yellow to white/green.
Thanks we will see what happens when out next week, cheers. . Ron
Hear the beams is ace rebranded and users are having to pay for it again.
You talk as if you are comparing companies with some kind of ethics. :D
These stream providers, Ace, Beams, ZKTV, they are all copyright thieves, and should be treated with the level of care necessary when you know you are dealing with someone who is making their living from selling stolen property.
Ace is indeed now dead, busted by the UK authorities.
Beams is the same service.
If you pay monthly, you just move from one to other. A 2 minute inconvenience.
The only customers that would have been caught out are those buying a long term pre-paid sub, and that`s a pretty silly thing to do when what you are buying is effectively an illegal product that could dissappear overnight at any time - as has just happened.
Most on here using Ace will have moved to Beams months ago, as per recommendation here on this very forum.
Moral of the story... I`d suggest no-one pre-pays for ANY illegal stream for more than a month at a time, because long term subs are a stitch-up.
Be particularly mindful of those that charge upwards of â,¬30 monthly specifically to try and drive people to a longer term contract tie-in.
I`ve gone with a US iptv (with good reviews) as its less likely to be hounded out of business by UK authorities (pressure from Sky & Virgin).
Hi beachlife, can you tell us which one it is & does it give UK channels ? I assume that has to be used with a DNS 😁😁

Its Fab iptv.
It has all the UK and sports stations. However BBC news (SD & HD) not working, just about to fire a ticket off to them about that. Their website was fine last week but over the weekend it was a bit flakey. 7 Day catch up. Their VOD not as good as Aces` was. However I have kept Ace on my system as I noticed I can get their VOD still at the moment if it goes down will just use kodi box to watch any programs/films I can`t get on Fab. So far picture quality and stability is good.
I assume you mean a VPN not a DNS. No need to use a VPN in Fuerte but if you want to watch premier league in UK you will. I`m going to flash a router and put a VPN on it when in the UK. Or you can be buy a pre configured router with a VPN on it from Amazon.
You can get a 48 hour pass on Fab for 2 pounds. Also what I like about Fab is you can pay with paypal so if they do go belly up you might get something back with paypal. Whatever you do follow Ironworks advice just buy it a month at a time!!
Thanks beachlife. I did mean smart DNS rather than VPN as I am told it does not degrade the signal as much so less chance of buffering 😁😁

Fab as far as I know uses DNS but you can always change settings on the mag box usually between 6 to 10 improves any buffering as default is 0.
Not had any buffering on Fab but early days.
They reply promptly sent an email about BBC news not showing and had a reply within 2 minutes of sending.
Over the years we have tried everything to get UK tv, some have come and gone, but with all this talk of VPNs Mag boxes ect I will share our method with you all.
Use a Slingbox, we have been using one for over 5 years now and is the only reliable method we have found.
Set up in the UK at either your own property or a relatives.
It can be either fed by house aerial, Sky box etc, best thing is you get to watch your regional programs as if at home.
We have ours set up from a Sky+ box and can be controlled by an on screen Sky remote.
It can be viewed on any Android box/tablet.mobile anywhere in the world via an internet connection, and will work ok down to 2mb speed,
No subscriptions, no monthly payment if using Freeview, cost to set up 1 Slingbox and one Android box connected to your tv in Fuerte. ;) ;) ;)
Hi Globetrotter,
Sounds good. The only problem I can see is that you would have to leave your electrics & TV channel supply system (say sky or whatever) switched on while you are away. Is that correct ? Not sure I would want to do that for an extended period ! I make sure everything is unplugged. Tv`s & attached boxes are prone to overheating, well I understand that the Tv isn`t on but the box would be. Or have I got the set up all wrong 🤔🤔🤔
Hi Spitfire yes you are correct the boxes do require to be left on and like you we do like to unplug everything when not there but we have an advantage that our son is there all the time, plus boxes are only on standby when not being viewed, the ideal solution is to have it set up at a relatives/friends/neighbours house I suppose, but the system is well tested and tried and is an ideal solution and the most reliable, the only time not working is if there is a power outage or internet problem in the UK end, by the way our upload speed is less than 1mb and still gives good results.
I considered a slingbox but after reading varying reviews about decided against it.
What's the quality of picture like - currently I use a local reseller of an IPTV service which costs â,¬21 per month but the quality of picture is excellent, much better than I got with ACE.
Hi Decho
The quality of the picture varies from excellent to watchable, a lot of the problems are due to the limitation by the Internet providers in the UK limiting the up load speed, as I said ours is less than 1mb sometimes as low as .07mb but still works, the box we have is the HD version and viewing it in Fuerte there is the option to view in SD or HD, HD is unwatchable as we can only get internet through Vsat no landline available like most areas.
We are not so much bothered about the quality of the picture, more the fact that we can actually watch anything without the expense or hassle of other systems.
Having said that we are more that satisfied with the system as we have tried most of the rest, plus you get to watch your UK content whether it be Freeview, Sky, Virgin etc.
You can watch it on your mobile through either wifi or your providers data works equally well anywhere, or a tablet standalone or linked to you tv, an Android box linked to your tv, just wish Samsung would bring out a Slingbox viewer app on our smart tv then no need for any other boxes.
Best part of it all it is perfectly legal, no sites being shut down streaming illegally, no chopping and changing of providers to try which is best, you are in control of everything, it really is a win win situation, we would not swap it, we even have a brand new box in the UK as a standby in case this one packs up and Sling stop making them, mind you ours has been going strong for over 5 years now, touch wood lol.
Thanks Globetrotter, I think I will need to get one of these boxes and try it out so that I have it when my IPTV service gets shut down :)
I have BT at home which I think has upload of a few Mb and movistar here avg 8Mb so it sounds promising.
Hi. Does anyone have uptodate information on Beams-TV?
I tried to re-surrect my subscription with a 'free' 24hr trial. Couldn't get it to work and couldn't get a response from their support tickets.
Or anyone found a better/more reliable UK tv option recently? I may buy and try the slingbox option if that is still satisfactory, or put a VPN on my Samsung Smart tv and use iplayer. (If I can work out how to do it!)
Thanks
PS: fab IPTV have also been shutdown!
What speed internet do you have and is it WIFI or landline ADSL?
I have 2 different 4g internet providers. Orange (which is pretty slow at peak times) and Vodafone which is much faster. Whydo you ask?
I can recommend a good supplier, £16 a month, all the channels you need, catchup TV and a big VOD section, films, series etc but you need a decent connection.
You can pay monthly and turn it off and on, a month at a time, whenever you like. Let me know if you're interested and I will PM you the details.
PS I am nothing to do with the company but I use the service in our apartment and am very pleased with it. :D
Beams is still up and working with a great service. Watching it now and since Ace was shut down.
However there are some differences. You will have to re register again on their new website even if you have had previous login in details and through registering again (you can use the same details as your old registartion with them if you want at
https://beams-tv.com/index.php
They do not accept credit card payments you have to use bitcoin for payment which is explained on the site and you can get a walk through with the very helpful Patrick or one of the other guys on there.
Its 10 euros for 1 month, 25 euros for 3 months, 45 euros for 6 months
https://beams-tv.com/cart.php
I highly recommend the service but some people will be put off by the need to use bitcoin to pay but its worth it as the service is very good. Don`t buy a years service for any iptv service, as they can all disappear like Ace did. Personally i buy 3 months at a time as have been stung in the past when buying for longer. However Beams is so cheap even if you buy for longer you wouldn`t lose a lot.
Thanks Beachlife. I tried to get it running again, as I used it before ..... reloaded STB Emu and asked them to put in my MAC Address, but they failed. The app seems to need resetting everytime I open it, and now bitcoin payment does not appeal. What device do you run it on - MAG box?
I think I'll try something else now.
Maybe buy Getflix Smart DNS and load it into my router so Smart tv can get iplayer etc.
Anyone still using this Getflix option successfully?
Thanks

I use a mag 250 on Fuerte and a mag 256 ( I also use a kodi box for backup on Fuerte and also have an ipad and a lenevo tablet which have ability to pick up beams).
I tried a mag 256 on Fuerte but found the movistar router could not work with the security on the 256 so stick to a 250 on Fuerte. Although I`m going to try to bring an old router from the UK and try and see if I can get it to work on Fuerte with a 256.
I also have a vpn which I can use (Safer VPN as it was cheap as I bought it for 2 years on an cheap deal). But don`t need to use the VPN if everything is working but all iptv`s have some down time or problems.
You may get a reply on discord as beams as using that for questions If you haven`t got it or registered with it I would try posting a request or a direct message to Patrick or Rainer on there
https://discordapp.com/activity
I understand your reluctance to use bitcoin once you have tried it it is not too bad.
Not sure what url you are using but the latest url for the home page for beams is https://beams-tv.com/index.php
Thanks Beachlife. I gave up with Beams and went with the Smart TV & Smart DNS option. It works very well so far and gives a brilliant picture that beats any of the IPTV services I have tried before. Wish I tried it sooner!
Thanks

No problem Archer. My TV is still dumb thanks for the heads up about the smart dns option if my tv gives up the ghost might look at getting a smart TV.
We now use Getflix which works well, just occasional problems on a smart tv and I pad.
BBC live or catch up and ITV C4,5 all catch up.
.
At just over £3 a month very reasonable.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone that us a slingbox....I see various reviews in Amazom.
Has anyone successfully set this up? If so, how easy is it to use?
