Hello All. I’m using IPTVnator on Linux and trying out both OTT Navigator IPTV and iMPlayer IPTV Player on Android but I’m wondering what everyone here uses.

You should try Tivimate for android.
Agreed. I was using TiviMate on my NVIDIA Shield TV when I still had an active IPTV subscription, and nothing comes close in terms of usability and ease of use. I wish legit IPTV providers could offer us a way to watch TV from them with all those apps.
Same setup here. When I got everything set up, I couldn’t believe how I lived this long without it.
Tivimate all the way. Best available. I bought the 5 devices lifetime subscription. Worth every penny.
I would like to but for some reason I get This app is not available for any of your devices message. I only see the TiviMate Companion app. I’m using Android version 13.
The apk on the app store is only directly compatible with Android tv and not mobile. You can download separately but using on mobile isn’t the most fluid.

Using TiviMate on my Google TV and it’s got a great (and customizable) UI.
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.

TIL
I use tvheadend for ota tv channels via an aerial and a dvb-t2 tuner card, but I’ve not yet tried setting up IPTV channels. Is there a guide out there somewhere for setting it up as you describe?
It’s a fantastic back end and I’ve tried a few. NextPVR on windows, mythtv, mediaportal but none works as well as tvh once it’s set up.
Where would I get the m3u files for the iptv? Would you have anyhow good recommendation
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.
