I’m new to iptv. I did a 1 day trial of Beastiptv4k. Seems like a legit website but i came across some bad reviews about a guy named ACE at Beast TV. They are claiming not to be the same people.
Has anyone else tried this service. Its appx $50 for a year. It seems to be a good service with many USA channels.
Should I keep looking around or just run with this and don’t go for long subscriptions?
Never heard of them so I cannot speak to them specifically, but you will notice that if you search for BeastIPTV or BeastIPTV4k you will find plenty of results. They may be related or may not. It is common for lookalike providers to try to use name recognition to fool people. A good example would be the providers that have a name similar to the player Tivimate that have nothing to do with the player and just use the name to trick people.
If you are new, you really need to read the big thread stickied at the top.

I know it is huge but has a ton of info and will answer most of your questions. Read it in parts if you need to. After that you will have a better grasp, and it will be easier for the forum members to answer your questions.
Test services to find one that has what you need.
Good advise from Scooby - that link could get a great service at wholesale price
This is the news report from 2024. May be new services set up, but it isn’t the original.

As others said could be a scam….BUT my question to you. Are the channels working and are YOU satisfied? If your answer is Yes then good. BUT you may want to only pay for the minimum least time (Month, 3 months…. whatever it is) for a while to see if it keeps working. If not I think you should take a look at Amber’s services
I’ve used xtream code Chinese suppliers for years. Predominantly as a back up. However, in several instances I’ve ended up plumping to use them as my primary source. And can easily switch about using Tivimate (Tivimate’s a MUST-HAVE in my opinion).
After several I ended up using Michael Wu, and now Amber Baby (running well so far in January 2026). I think I paid under $30 for the GLOBE! But if you ask prior to receiving your code/line that can be pre-edited to your chosen countries/languages.
IMHO …Those who get stressed about some of such services going down ~ Please remember just how crazily inexpensive it is. The old phrase springs to mind …”Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” ? 
Oh ~ and finally, they can be weirdly ‘VPN sensitive’ for whatever reason. I find that my own most stable and compatible VPNs are Montreal Canada, and Albania (!). I use Surfshark and am in Cork, Ireland. Shhh! 
So if you have problems you’ll need to slog through VPN locations until you hopefully strike gold.
Thank you for your insightful comments. Finding the right VPN can be a chore and does take some time, but it’s doable. You are absolutely right about the cost. Seems like hundreds of years ago (major exaggeration for effect. Lol) I was paying over $250mth here in canada for a setup that may have gotten me about 125 channels of which 30-50 were useful. Now I can get thousands and feed my need for sports and entertainment for about the cost of just one month of cable. Don’t ya just love tech. Thanks for the input @Osamo and don’t be a stranger.
Thanks Miki,
Yup all TOO often it’s forgotten what a damned bargain we can get. To me, I consider it as VERY low cost ‘backup’ insurance (from China). It won’t break the bank if it ‘crashes and burns’. Anyways, re. my main provider (Darkside.Plus), I’ve been with them for around 5 years. 99% flawless. And the missing 1% wasn’t their fault (it was a r4id). If you look up Darkside DO NOT FIND AND USE simply ‘Darkside’. That’s a different provider. Look for Darkside.PLUS. Remember the PLUS, cus they’re WORLDS apart.
Thanks for your IPTV suggestion. I checked out their website and they offer no information at all about what services they offer, channels, VOD, etc. Also, the minimum subscription is a month. Do they offer any kind of a trial sub? Thanks!
They have a trial sub. They have a message through what’s app option on the website. Works good. I feel like $14 a month is a bit pricey though.
I understand your issue with the price, but TBH you really do get a good service. I’d say well above average.
I’ve been into this stuff for years now and have backed too many lame horses. I had to take a step back and compare the Darkside.Plus price against a ‘normal’ provider. I considered it a a no-brainer for me at least. I’m not affiliated to any of these providers. I simply want to turn on my TV and grab a beer.
Lastly, most providers are ‘resellers’. But many people chase the ‘Holy Grail’ of the SOURCE provider. HOWEVER, the source providers aren’t end-user focussed. Whereas Resellers need to be. And the resellers fall into two camps:
Firstly the Cheap “fast-buck” crew. Normally someone who is simply doing it as side-income. Many of them don’t want to invest management and admin time. So the earn little ~ so they just drop it, and disappear into the ether. With what’s left of your Sub payment.
But, Secondly there’s the “time invested” crew. More often an individual or small group that run it like a business ~ not just for ‘beer money’. These providers react pretty quickly to requests/enquiries. Basically they keep on top of it. They provide a proper service and want to retain clients. For example, a few years back Darkside.plus simply stopped working overnight. Their ‘Grail’ source disappeared (raid). They lost their cash too. But, kept people updated, found a new (and even better) source provider, AND honoured everyone’s remaining Subs.
Again, it’s all individual choice. Perhaps I’m lazy (?) but I’m past chopping from one supplier to another. Getting old BUT I also (like an old guy) take out effectively ‘insurance’ by paying for a Chinese backup.
So, all that’s just my own experience and opinion. Nice to chat to you.
Oz.
