Need Russian channels IPTV service

[yaz96]

Well, I now see that NexTV has reduced the amount of channels they carry and no longer even have Channel One. Any suggestions on what service is best to use?
I liked TvRossiya and NexTV because of the set-top box and it was easy for my visiting Russian mother-in-law to use. Any other service still use a STB? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I found WebTelek, BestRussianTV(looks like ashes from TVRossiya), nashdomtv, larutv, imb-plus. Anyone use these services that can comment?

Anyone know anything about kartina.tv? Looks like they use a STB, and charge in Euros. Is it available in the US? I can't read Russian.....and no Angliski on these sites


Thanks!

Yaz96 Well i have had .:NexTV:. Wanna be NEXT? now for almost 2 years and i am very very happy with them.

You mentioned that "they reduced the amount of channels they carry and no longer even have Channel One" I am not sure why you said this but the fact is they have added channels and they do have Channel one Russia.

In fact they have Channel one Russia LIVE and Time shifted.

As you I also had TvRossiya and to me getnextv is sooooo much better.
No buffering issues ever, very good Picture quality and if there are ever any Issues i can call and speak to there tech people who are fluent in english!!!
any issuews always seem to get resolved very quickly

Now the Biggest problem with getnextv is there website they hardly keep it up to date,, from what i understand they are putting most of there time into building there IPTV platform. this is the main and biggest difference between getnextv
and all those other services. After ALOT of research i found all those other
services are what i call plug and play they basicly get the signal (from the same source) and redistribute it. that is why alot of them offer exactly all the same packages.

Getnextv is part of much larger company ethnic channels group

they are a long established company that has now branched out to IPTV with getnextv. most of there efforts right now are going into building this true iptv service.

I hope some of this info helps.
