Recommend an IPTV service

Have you downloaded their xmltv file, and taken a look in it? I'm guessing there is only a single day of data in it.

I think you may be right.
The file is huge, and I didn't look at all of it, but it doesn't appear to have more than a day's worth of data.
I'm waiting for a response from ACE TV.

UPDATE: (from ACE TV)
Please try again tomorrow, as we reload all EPG on Monday early morning.
Dont flush your cache, and you should have 7 day EPG.

I still can't get anymore than 1 day of data when I update.
I checked the download file and it appears that is all there is.

I'm going back and forth with ACE, but I'm starting to doubt they really have an answer.
I'm losing confidence in their support group.

sub,
This IPTV stuff is very new to me.
Is it possible that I could somehow get a better IPTV EPG from Schedules Direct to use with ACE TV?
I currently use them for my cable channels and it works great.

In theory you can, but they have no 'ace-tv' channel lineup, so you'd have to manually find their channels in other lineups, and you're only allow a maximum of four lineups in your account. ie, you might be able to add a UK lineup and manually assign those channels etc. It'd be a pretty painful exercise. Unfortunately there is no way NextPVR could do it automatically for you to make life easier.

I have discovered, after a lot of screwing round with ACE, that if I load up STBEmu app on my Android box, and use the MAG portal address they gave me, I can get 14 days of listings. It finally proves the point that I can get more than 1 day.

However, my ultimate goal would be to use NPVR, as that is what I'm most comfortable with.

The question now is whether NPVR can also get me the extended listings?
I don't know if that portal URL is what you need?
The ACE people said a simple web grab is only ever gonna get you 1 day; you need to use the portal address to get more.

If you can tell me where it's getting those listings from, I can look into anything needed on the NextPVR side of things.

If you want to PM me that portal URL, I can see if it provides anything useful.

A bit strange ... I went to the ACE-TV site this morning to sign up for a 1-month trial and saw the following notice, in red:

"Ace Sport and Ace Premium are no longer available as of Dec 19th 2017"

Those of you who use ACE, is it still working?

I was doing a Google search for best iPTV yesterday and saw a posting on one site Ace was closed for new members as of yesterday but were still operating for current subscribers. As of five minutes ago, Ace is still working for me.

Is it now being operated by the FBI 😊

Is it now being operated by the FBI ��

I don't know that FBI jurisdiction covers the UK where Ace is headquartered but I suppose anything is possible.

Looks like the British authorities are after Ace, Here's a link to an explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/IPTV/comments/7...customers/
