This tutorial will teach you how to record IPTV on any Android-powered device. This process works great on most Android TV Boxes, NVIDIA SHIELD, Mi Box, and 1st/2nd Generation Fire TV Boxes.
Replacing cable and satellite with an IPTV service is something that many people are doing, which saves lots of money. One big feature that has been missing is the ability to record IPTV on streaming devices.
Although many of us no longer require recorded television due to all of the on-demand content available, there are still times when this is needed. There are some broadcasts that are typically difficult to find through on-demand outlets such as sports, news shows, special events, and daily shows.
To follow this tutorial, you will need an Android device and IPTV subscription that allows you to use their URL for setup purposes. Some IPTV providers don’t allow this and this tutorial won’t work with those.
Your Android device must be capable of storing large video files for this solution to work well. Most streaming devices come with small internal drives but we can usually extend the storage by using USB drives or SD cards.
Unfortunately, the 2nd Generation Fire TV Stick and Fire TV 3 do not allow us to expand the storage like most other Android TV boxes do. We can only hope that the new Fire TV Cube will allow us to expand storage with external drives like the 1st Generation and 2nd Generation Fire TV Boxes did.
In the following video tutorial, I am using the Mecool M8S Pro L Android TV Box along with Area 51 and Eternal TV IPTV services. I am also expanding the storage on this device with a SanDisk Ultra CZ48 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive.
If you would like to watch an IPTV channel at the same time as you are recording, you must ensure that you order at least 2 connections from your IPTV provider. The reason for this is because one connection is used to record IPTV stream and the other is used to view the channel that you are watching.

Tell us what you think of this process in the comments section below. Also, what features would you like to see added to IPTV Extreme?
Trying to use IPTV extreme to record games, etc. Problem is my current paid IPTV provider is a google app and says they do not have an URL. It uses a “user name” and “password” to log on. I don’t know how to get IPTV extreme to connect.
Also, somewhere I read that you could input a m3u file into IPTV extreme but my m3u files are on my desktop (hard drive) not on my android box.
1000 thanks for any guidance.

I’m using Area 51 with IPTV Extreme app, when I’m on the channel guide looking through the channels, once in a while it goes black then it comes back on but with a rectangle box on the lower middle of screen. I uninstalled and reinstalled IPTV Extreme app. A couple of times. Wondering what are your thoughts on this are.

IPTV extreme is very hit and miss for recording
IPTV Extreme pro will not allow me to use it if i’m using a VPN, i was able to fool it earlier so i set up a recording and that will not play either, just has an error, so for i have had no luck at all, why not just have a paid version that actually works. I even gave up on using that Mecool device that you recommended because it would only allow about five minutes of recording and it did not play well with my TV plus the adds drove me nuts. I bought a fire TV cube… Read more »
Wondering if I can connect a large Zip drive to my tv usb to expand Firestick storage? Want to be able to record up to 3 hours of streaming video from IPTV.
it works for me but after 1 or 2 min of recording image freezes and it stops recording
Fabien, this is probably due to maxing out your storage on the recording.
