I have it for many years. I use another service as well. It suits us fine. Just make sure you order from the proper site, 5 connections included. There’s another site someone ordered from and got only 2 connections for same price.

I had them and liked them, but they went with BTC and I don’t know how to use BTC and am too lazy to figure it out. They were pretty good, though.

Purchased their service a year ago. It’s the best of the 3 providers I have. Considered not renewing due to the hassles I had last year making the payment via Bitcoin. But, I ended up giving it another shot abt 2 weeks ago. It was a breeze this time since Bitcoin was already configured in my PayPal account. Since then I’ve made Bitcoin payments to them for 2 of my friends. The channels typically begin playback immediately after selecting them with almost zero hesitation. It will buffer occasionally but it’s rare.

When they went BTC, I almost dropped them. The first time I used BTC via Coinbase I was unsure but they helped me. It’s a breeze now.

You do not hear much about Apollo, but that is ok. They are not the cheapest of the bunch, but seems to be a stable service. When they switched to bitcoin payment only it was a pain in the arse. They were giving a small discount for bitcoin payment. I think this may have ended.

They’re still discounting 10%. My 1-yr sub lists for $159.99 on the website. It dropped to $143.99 at checkout.

I have Apollo and am very happy with the service. It can work with TvMate but it does not provide all the features it has to offer when you do. Best to just use the Apollo app.

I use tivimate for live TV and the branded start up show app for VOD.

Apollo has been my go to for over two years. No problems over that period other than the BC thing. Love the way the favorites works. Very dependable. Well, I probably just gave them the kiss of death!

can apollo be used with tivimate or do you have to use their setup?

You can use Tivimate

Long time user & they seem to have improved stability over time as well. Movie data base is large, and what’s nice is that once you create a “favorite’s” list, it’s available from any additional TV/device source you use.

Has anyone tried Apollo on SparkleTV, how is epg loaded for livetv?

The same way you load any of the iptv stuff.

I do not see where to load epg, have never done on sparkle worked ok on tivimate, playlist loaded but no guide, stumped?

settings>sources>setup>Add new source>select either m3u or Extreme Codes>next>enter playlist>next>enter epg/xmltv epg>next>Add>Done

If you use an m3u8 or extreme code then your epg should auto load. If you use a m3u then after you have inserted the m3u. You will need to enter the epg url.

Thanks for the help, worked well, learn something new every day.

Good reliable service i’ve been using for sometime now. For me, when I log into my account every six months from there home page and click subscribe, i still have the c.c. option to re-new so they still accept c.c. for payment as well as cashapp, paypal and bc.

I tried it last night however when you click subscribe before logging in, the c.c. option is not there. Just a heads up.
