Content
There isn’t really anything bad to be said about the channel lineup at Helix. Pretty much any program you would ever want to watch is available. Apart from the usual English language channels, Helix provides streams from over 50 countries! Covering so much territory comes with one downside. It can become a bit difficult to navigate the over 6500 channels and >100 channel groups available. I would definitely recommend you either start using your player’s favorite feature or pick the package that covers your needs only.
Helix is, as far as I know, also one of the biggest suppliers of adult content, with over 100 adult channels and 24/7 streams.
Quality & Reliability
Making any sound judgments on quality and reliability is always difficult. Too different are devices and Internet connections that everyone uses. Also, different people have different expectations when it comes to IPTV. While it comes close to a pricey cable subscription, you will likely never get the same service.
Android TV Box Bestsellers
Helix, again, does not necessarily excel when it comes to quality and reliability. But it does not miss the mark either.
In my experience, the streams are stable and despite having such a high number of channels, I did not experience any downtime or offline channels.
There are numerous channels available in HD and 60 fps. This is great, especially for watching fast-paced sports broadcasts or action movies.
What did surprise me is the quality of the EPG data. With so many channels, I really did expect a mediocre EPG with only a few channels covered. But, it seems like Helix is managing this part really well and it was easy to find something to watch that would interest me.
Slow Streams or Buffering?
Are your streams loading too slow? Getting constant buffering? Not able to stream at full resolution? Check out these tips to improve your streaming experience:
- Use a modern Router that has advanced features like QoS to prioritize video content. Check out our recommended Routers for Streaming.
- If you are using a Wifi connection, be sure to check out our 9 easy steps to improve your Wifi for Streaming.
- Some Internet Service Providers throttle video streaming traffic without telling their customers. A VPN encrypts all your traffic and circumvents throttling, blocking and geographical restrictions.
Finally, I also have to highlight the great support that Helix provides. This is not your one-man reseller operation. They take customer satisfaction seriously which is always a plus!
Compatibility
Compatibility is usually not a problem these days but there are still a few providers that lack total device coverage. Some providers even charge extra for certain equipment configurations like devices with MAC addresses. No so with Helix. Whatever device you use for IPTV, Helix has you covered.
They provide the same great level of service and quality for Android apk, Perfect Player, Kodi, Enigma, Smart TV, MAG box, and VLC. The FAQs on their support page offer guides and some videos for set-up of just about every configuration.
There’s no problem using a VPN with Helix either. Users in some areas like the UK sometimes need a VPN to catch their favorite matches.
Warning
Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If found streaming copyright content, you could get into serious legal trouble. Currently, your IP
44.210.200.165 is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend you to get the
best VPN for streaming and hide your identity so that your entertainment doesn’t take a bad turn.
Here are the reasons
why you must use a VPN all the time.
I use and recommend
PureVPN which is the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device including Android TV boxes. Also, it comes with a 31-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund.
