I have had IPTV for 2 years and had no problems. I have a Mag 424 box and a subscription from a store in Brampton. I have never had freezing or any of the above problems described in this thread. It has been very stable and I am satisfied. I have about 10K channels (seriously) and my subscription costs $8/month.
Whose your IPTV Provider?

I honestly don't know. The staff at Golumbia ask what you are interested in and then they set up the box for you. For myself, I have all sport channels, Canada, USA and UK channels as well as many movie channels. I could have had Australian channels, Spanish channels, Indian channels, etc but I declined those.

I get all those channels. But it is easy to hide the categories that you are not interested in. So I keep the Sports, Soccer, Canada, USA, UK, Australia, and believe it or not Indian Channels.
The Indian Channels have Star Sports and Sony Sports TV that cover Sports like Soccer, Formula 1, Golf Basketball, Hockey, Football, Wrestling, and several other Sports. These Channels have perfect picture quality, with practically no freezing. But if you scroll to your Settings and then Server, then that would give you the hint of your provider along with the expiry date of your subscription.
Yes, I also have the Pay Per View, Movie and Concert Channels along with the VOD Films, including over 30,000+ Adult Films, Series as well as Live Channels. Just not enough time to view them. 🤪

I upgraded my android boxes to Android 11 OS a few months ago. I haven't had any buffering since.

I have the same BuzzTV Processor and a great signal and performance. Important to subscribe to a good and reliable IPTV provider, and hardwire the box directly to the Internet Modem.
Then zero buffering is the outcome even with all the various sports events from overseas channels.

I'm not hardwired and have had zero issues (using Rogers Ignite).

I have Bell Fibe. Now the Basement IPTV does have severe issues with using the WIFI when the Bell Modem was on the ground floor. The reason is the FIBE signal uses light signals that gets easily interrupted by several factors. Noticed that the signal speed dropped ten fold. Had to use a Router to improve the signal. My other BuzzTV Box on the main floor has an impeccable signal quality and the hardwired connection is 100% perfect with zero buffering. Also, I found the cheaper IPTV providers to be practically garbage as compared to my current one. I'm paying $150 per year and all types of Sports Channels are included.

Is it possible to use IPTV with my AppleTV device?
As long as your Apple TV device has at least a 4GB RAM, 64GB of storage and the equivalent of a Quad Core Processor, there should be no issues with using it for IPTV.
Your provider will have to upload the IPTV provider's App for you, unless you subscribe to an internet provider. Something I do not recommend.

What do you mean “subscribe through an internet provider”?

I think you're confused about some of how this works.

It sounds like you're saying the wifi is also light signals. Fibre optic cables do transmit light signals, but that only goes up to the Bell modem at best (and possibly not even that far). Everything after that is either copper wire in the case of Ethernet, or radio frequency in the case of WiFi. Installing a router will not effect light signals in any way as your router would be using standard copper wire.

It sound like you had wifi issues in part of your home the was located far from the Bell modem/router, so you ran a copper Ethernet cable and set up a modem in a different area to improve the signal. But all of that is conventional, not light signals.

One of the big advantages of fiber optic light signals is that they are unaffected by all the things that cause interference for traditional electromagnetic signals in copper wire and wireless radio frequency signals. EMI and RF interference is everywhere and is the cause of many problems with electronics, but fibre optic is completely immune to it. So you should not experience any issues at all with the "light signal being interrupted by several factors". Fibre optic can only get interference from itself, and it should be non-existent within this context.
Well, no I'm not confused. Previously, I had Rogers and there was a very slight difference between the download speeds in the ground floor and the basement. Even the Bell Technician mentioned that a Router would be the best solution and it really helped. Yes, for the FiBe it is a Light and not an Electric signal like Rogers. Once it reaches the Modem it does convert it into the Wifi signals. However, if you compare the wifi from the FiBe with Rogers, you will notice that only The Bell Fibe has equal Upload and Download speeds as it is a different type of WiFi signal. However, appliances like the fridge and the general infrastructure has a greater impact on the Bell rather than Rogers wifi signals. My neighbours also had these issues and almost gave up on Bell's FIbe until I got them to setup the Routers. That is why, if you have an IPTV Box, I would always suggest if possible to connect it directly to the Bell Modem by an Ethernet cable.

You don't need a IPTV box to access the content that is being sold. You can download an an App like IPTV Smarters/Pro and subscribe to the content via an provider like https://iptvanubis.org/.
Since subscribing directly to provider I've noticed better picture quality and less freezing/pixelating compared to when I had the tv box. Many smart TV's will allow you to download the app. I was able to download from a LG tv I bought in 2018
