The IPTV set-top box market, unlike Android TV set-top boxes, is rather small and doesn't offer much variety. So, we are happy to announce that there is a new box that end users should consider. So, when purchasing your next IPTV entertainment box, the tvip 605 is ideal.
Indeed, this device belongs to the category of specific IPTV boxes. It supports IPTV streaming out of the box and with great reliability. If you want details about it, in this article, we have tested all the features of this TV box.
TVIP v.605 Test
We use the TVIP 605 as our primary streaming box on a daily basis. In short, our experience with this box has been fantastic. Nothing really beats the streamlined user experience of such a purpose-built IPTV box. No additional settings or apps to install. Simply enter your provider's details and you're ready to go.
TVIP v.605 Specifications
Let's start with the specifications. Unlike the MAG 254 and 256, the tvip 605 supports 4K HDR video resolution . To ensure smooth streaming at such a high resolution, a 1.5 GHz quad-core S905x processor and a Mali-450 graphics card handle all the processing. Furthermore, 1 GB of RAM ensures fast browsing and overall lag-free operation out of the box.
Under the hood, the tvip actually runs dual-boot with Linux and Android 8.0. This allows the box to support a number of middleware. It also supports the very popular Stalker middleware, as well as other applications.
Using TVIP v.605
In the box, everything needed to set up the IPTV device is provided. The tvip 605 itself is rather small and gives a robust and high-quality impression. Once plugged in, the device can be started with the supplied remote control . The first start of the tvip will launch a short setup wizard to help you get started with the device. Once this is completed, you are greeted with a clean and modern interface.
Setting up IPTV providers is fairly straightforward, but it can be a bit complicated with the various options. This is mainly due to the fact that this device supports many different middleware and streaming protocols. The advantage of the device is that it can perfectly run one or more STB portals.
The IPTV streaming experience itself is excellent. To do this, configure your IPTV portal and launch the box directly. From there, you can browse channel sections, access the electronic program guide, or stream VOD content. You have the option of having multiple IPTV providers as backups. The tvip 605 box can also serve as a DVR and supports timeshifting. Thanks to this, you won't miss any of the highlights of your TV program.

Streaming Performance
One of the most important questions is how reliably tvip 605 streams live TV. And we're happy to report that our experience was great. We didn't see anything we could fault on this tvip. Changing channels, navigating the EPG, and streaming were overall smoother and more reliable. Of course, this also depends on the IPTV service, your router, and many other factors. But from what we've experienced, the tvip v.605 box handles IPTV streaming like a champ.
Does the tvip 605 have any imperfections?
Aside from the overall fast interface and reliable streaming performance, what struck us was the device's maturity. Initially, we were a little wary of this streaming box. We weren't entirely sure it could hold its own against the biggest names on the market. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we tested the device.
We didn't experience a single crash, lag spike, or stutter while using this box. The interface is clean and easy to use. When we first used the TVIP 605, an automatic update was installed. Also, note that automatically downloading the latest version of the system software is preferable to searching for the latest version on the manufacturer's website.
An additional feature that we haven't used but may be useful to others is the 5 GHz Wi-Fi. We always recommend using a wired connection. However, if that's not possible, using the TVIP v.605's 5 GHz Wi-Fi with a powerful Wi-Fi router will give you the bandwidth for smooth streaming.
One imperfection: limited application support
There's really only one thing we noticed that we wish tvip 605 could improve on. That's the limited app support. The box isn't as versatile as we'd hoped. Better compatibility with third-party apps would have really helped tvip stand out from other IPTV boxes. This box is ideal for IPTV streaming. Alternatively, if you need more versatility, consider an Android TV box.
Where to buy the TVIP IPTV box
The TVIP box is still a bit of a niche product and is not widely available. Le Dépôt Electronique has it in its online store and ships it across Canada.
Conclusion
Is the TVIP 605 a viable competitor to the biggest brands in the IPTV hardware market? We think so. It certainly hasn't revolutionized IPTV set-top boxes. But it is very reliable. If multi-vendor and middleware support is important to you, the TVIP is the best box to get. Likewise, if you just want a smooth IPTV streaming experience, it's as good as a MAG.
