I’ll watch my Favorite team up until the 3rd qtr and then switch to Red Zone because there is nothing more exciting than Red Zone for the last 45 minutes of the early 1pm games. Red Zone is not 60 FPS on Strong but you can find 60 FPS for the individual games. I use this to see what local channels the individual games are on and compare the quality to the games in the NFL category in Strong.
Thanks @Miki

Any services that have working M3U currently?
I have Layerseven but M3U isn’t working through emby server or other apps. I also tried a trial for Stong 8K but it didn’t work either.
Layerseven doesn’t say much except that it will be restored eventually.
Everything works reasonably well through Xtreme.

I am at the end of my 24 hour trial with ab. I am getting NO epg information. The indication I get from messaging with her is that epg is a hit or miss proposition and a lot of her customers use it without epg. Without “electronic program guides” I find all the data stream basically useless. I must be missing something. I am a novice to IPTV and I realize I know very, very little about the ins and outs. I have searched but have not found this particular topic discussed. Help?

There are various free EPGs available like
https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv
There are others that have been listed on here.
Or you can use a paid version.
I use https://myepg.top/ with Tivimate and it fill in most of what I want. There is a free trial if you scroll all the way down. It is purpose made for services like AmberBay’s, just pick the one to match.
Just to note the EPG won’t fill in the 24/7 channels and the streaming service channels usually have an EPG on the first channel in the category.
This is a copy/paste of a post I made previously on how to add it to Tivimate.
If you are willing to pay or don’t like to tinker to make things work, then I would recommend https://myepg.top/ it is pretty turnkey for the major categories like entertainment, movies, kids, and many sports.
The paid version is 5,90 € a year but it has a free trial if you scroll all the way down to the bottom and click on the guide you want, in this case Strong8k. Unfortunately, since there was so much abuse you have to go through a checkout process without payment, so you have a private link.
For Tivimate this is how to add, other players will be a little different.
After checkout go to myaccount>downloads and right click on the link to the guide and copy it to your clipboard or do the same on the free EPG link you want. Hopefully you have a device you can connect to your TV/box so you can just past it because it is a long link to type out. It Tivimate go to settings>EPG>Add Source and add the URL from your clipboard. Then go to settings>Playlists>Whatever you called Amber Baby’s playlist>EPG sources and toggle on the new EPG. You can leave the default on also in case one goes down. The first update usually takes a longer time than normal but should eventually update.
The paid one should auto assign all channels. Sometimes on the free ones or even the paid ones you have to manually assign them. Even the paid version doesn’t have EPG for everything like 24/7 and some of the channels pulled from streaming services etc. Sports depends on what you watch etc. The only way to know is to try different ones.
Whether or not it is worth paying for depends on the channels you want the EPG for and how important it is for you. The paid version allows you to request channels in the telegram group. The link in on the main page and you can ask any question there.

I have been using Strong from Amber and it works well in both TiviMate and Sparkle, except I don’t seem to be able to record to Shield external storage with the 1 connection she offers. She said Strong is only available with 1 connection, so has anyone had good experience with a similar provider who offers 2 connections?

EPGs have been discussed ad nauseum. There are lots of solutions. I would say that with a little effort ABs playlist can have about a 90% complete EPG using many free sources or if you’re so inclined some paid ones. To add to those provided by @ScoobyDoosSpots
