I am also thinking to invest in IPTV but wondering which is the most stable & reliable one.
RBO which box do you use for IPTV MAG 250 or AVOV?
I am using MAG254..do not buy MAG 250....it comes with older software version and what I heard is not working properly.
all the best....

Fire Stick will probably not ship to Canada, so I think you should double check. The above link is for Amazon.com and not Amazon.ca.
thanks a lot Raj for vital information about latest software for android....in Amazon tons of android boxes are selling on dirt cheap price but most of them are not original and pirated software loaded on the boxes...

It's available on Canadian Amazon site as well, albeit a bit expansive:
https://www.amazon.ca/Fire-Stick-paperwhite-unlimited-2015-09-08/dp/B017MYOYWG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1464366123&sr=8-2&keywords=amazon+fire+stick
I have the US address, and live just 10 minutes from the Border, so will have to get it shipped there itself. With the exchange, it comes to about $50 CAD. Better than buying it from Canadian Amazon.
Febpreet, the above link for amazon.ca is not for the stick but for some kind of book or user guide.
RBO, Kodi is open source and add ons are open source as well. So, software is not pirated. If you are talking about the streams, well that is another story! There is a lot of piracy in what gets streamed over internet either free or paid. Just because you pay a fee per month does not make it legal. Even satellite TV like Dish Network has no presence in Canada legally.
For legal streams, you have to stick with Bell, Rogers or services like Yupp TV.

lol. My Bad. I was too quick, and just looked at the picture. In any case, I will pick it up from the States.
.
In terms of Legal implications this is what worries me about IPTV paid private server continuously streaming encrypted content over the internet as Raj is explaining.
Our internet service provider can possibly throttle our speed or charge us more etc etc since they can easily find out what content we are streaming. With satellite dishes I felt cautiously ok since I assumed it only used internet for downloading small files every 15 min or 30 min rest was over the air.

That's what is in the offing with more customers cutting the cord and Cable is at all time unpopular. If it were not for the Desi channels, I know all Desis would've cut the cord a long time ago. In my household, parents are not interested in the mainstream programming (CBC, CTV, Global, City, etc.) for no fault of theirs, and hooked on to the Desi dramas 24x7. I, on the other hand get my daily dosage from the Internet and Kodi. Just because, my parents & the significant other are challenged with Internet or these media boxes, I have to subscribe to the Cable and feed the useless Cablewala with a free money month over month. Boy! And, how much I hate it?
