IPTV services are becoming an increasingly popular

IPTV services are becoming an increasingly popular way to watch shows from around the globe. In a sentence for those that may not know, IPTV is Digitally transmitted signals over the internet, of TV channels and other content to our homes via (in this case) an android app called ATV. This allows us to tap into all sorts of brilliant content like your favourite movie, TV Show, sport, and so much more at an affordable price.
ATV is a proven leader in providing this service due to its reliability, longevity & customer support.
Here living in Australia, we are quite isolated and limited in content that is available to watch both live & on demand. That’s why I personally looked for something better that can provide me and my family with shows that we can all enjoy.
I have tried quite a number of IPTV services and none come close to ATV.
ATV provides in excess of 1000 channels from around the world from all over Europe / America and Asia. There is something for everyone.
Having access to these channels, I can watch pretty much anything from Live Sports events including pay per view (PPV) events to Documentaries, TV series and Movies.
The content is almost overwhelming. All of this is supplied by ATV to my home TV in HD quality via my android device.
Here are just a few of the reasons why I prefer ATV over other IPTV providers:-
Easy to install & setup
Great features such as 7 day catch up / record ability / Video On Demand (VOD) read more about these below.
Program Guide (with multiple layout styles)
Reliable streams
Good luck if you can get ALL that with other IPTV services. Quite simply you cannot. But with ATV you can.

Alright, so here’s a couple of examples to back up what I’m saying. I used to pay $50 a go for a PPV event like a UFC or boxing match.
With ATV you get unlimited access to these included in your subscription. Just last weekend (23rd?Feb 2020) I enjoyed the full card of the Fury v Wilder event Live in Las Vegas.
I get all my English Premier league matches and European soccer, Formula 1 & Moto GP.
ATV is so affordable and I have saved so much $$$ on PPV events alone – since I started using them about 4 years ago. I wouldn’t go without it now.

Some of those great features I mentioned above are:-
7 Day Catch Up – Lots of channels have the ability to be able to watch any show aired in the last 7 days (I use this so I don’t have to get up at 2am to watch a live event that may be in UK or USA)
Record – If you want to keep a show more than the & days, then simply hit record and keep the show for as long as you want. (You have a massive 40 hrs of allocated space to use)
VOD – an extensive library of movies and TV shows are available on demand, from the very latest to your old favourites. The choice is fantastic.

Yes there are free IPTV service and cheaper services around, BUT – they are not as reliable, have less features and simply don’t measure up. That’s a very honest (and tested) opinion.
Some of these or free services can cumbersome, are hard to set up, work one minute then gone the next and can be quite frustrating. ATV is the answer.
ATV gives a 3 day trial so you can test this for yourself. Do yourself and your family a favour by trying it out. You will truly be blown away.
