Agreed. If you want the optimal viewing experience, you have do to routine maintenance. Period! Cheap box, expensive box...doesn't matter (except obviously certain devices will require more frequent hands-on). Anyone not willing to invest the time and effort that IPTV requires should stick with cable. IPTV is not for everyone, but for those willing to put in a little effort, the return on investment is worth the effort
I agree, I use a Nvidia shield for GM using TIVI mate app and all I do when I turn on is update EPG and works fine. Mine never really goes down and i use 2 other services just in case. thx everyone here for all the helpful info. I do hear some services are getting banned for using a VPN not sure how true that is. anyone know anything on that?
One day I'll buy a Shield, just to see how the other half lives. I'll probably box it up and send it back.
Everything working fine here in the US, including the guide.
Working fine on everything I have. Go through some of the troubleshooting tips, and make sure your account is still active. If you make no progress open a ticket. Perhaps your account needs to be reset.
Rob, in what country are you located? I just noticed you said 'football tonight'. I'm going to guess you might be outside the U.S. and have other issues relative to being blocked and/or throttled. Am I correct? EDIT: Yes, I see you're in the UK. Interestingly this goes to an earlier conversation here discussing what you're experiencing. You either need a VPN to continue to use these services, or your provider will continue to block/throttle you.
@MiKi hopefully someone with some skills on this subject will chime in. I do see that now, and I'm looking at my TiviMate. It's not really something I've ever paid much attention to, just didn't need it. I'm wondering if using a source such as m3u4u for your EPG can actually provide you with more than GM is actually offering. I also have understood there was a way to read your m3u link somehow to either read or control those number of days. You might get a lot of assistance from r/TiviMate
Hey Mike..@MiKi hopefully someone with some skills on this subject will chime in. I do see that now, and I'm looking at my TiviMate.

Just read this, I'll give it a try myself:
Go to settings > EPG > EPG Sources. Add this to the end of your EPG URL &next_days=7 - This will give you 7 days of EPG in advance, but ONLY if your provider has data available that far ahead. Tivimate can only display what your provider provides. Well, that didn't work for me, so I suppose the short answer is we get one day. Whether m3u4u is helpful I can't say. Perhaps opening a ticket with the question might be useful. I tried. It's above my pay grade
I have a better idea....send me a DM with your question.
Yes, it has. BTW the 3.1 update appears to have broken closed captions if that's important to you.
Purple TV is my favorite app!!! GM works perfectly on it!!! As does my 'backup' service. I have 2 dif gen Fire TV 4k sticks. Purple on both running smoothly-both services. Did send in a ticket a couple weeks ago requesting updated XC url for GM. They responded immediately.
👁❤GM.
@RobM073 - You're in the U.K., and if you scroll back a bit or browse for articles perhaps on Torrent Freak, you'll see that it is becoming increasingly difficult to stream in the U.K. and other places without a VPN. I don't need one here in Florida. There appears to be no issue at all with the service itself. I just put on Fulham/Crystal Palace and it's superb. Look back and go through some of the troubleshooting tips that have been mentioned.
@Toastess is there some trick to avoid getting a JSON null error after properly inputting the Xstream code? This has had me baffled for a while now and I've pretty much given up although I get M3U to work.Purple TV is my favorite app!!! GM works perfectly on it!!! As does my 'backup' service.

However, I really do not like purple. More importantly, when I add a second service/playlist, I can't get the channels to archive/lock/hide properly. It works okay for me with one playlist but not two. I am convinced now that while you can archive and not show, or use the parental lock and hide, either works, but when you add a second playlist, it blows out the hidden groups and you're viewing everything on two playlists. Not good. > Overall, it does work smoothly.
If you're referring to some 'official' GM code, there is none. If you're looking for a specific app, you can try one of the other forums here, or the myriad of resources on places like Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, Discord, etc.
Version 3.1.1.0 has fixed the closed caption issue.
No. While I do not use a VPN myself. There are specific parameters that should be followed, and certainly switching countries is another aspect to connecting properly. But, there is clearly no problem with the service itself.
