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?
Does this work with GEARS TV?
Hi Bill,
Yes, it should.
Will this work with sportz tv
does anyone know if there is a way to record iptv more than two days in advance and that works
Does anyone know the STREAMS FOR US server URL for IPTV Extreme App?
Does this have NBC..not NBCN not CBS news channel
Not knowing whether or not you’re still viewing this site BUT if you are, you asked for comments for other features I’d like to see for IPTV Extreme. I’d love to be able to record to a USB and not just the unit’s storage.
Will IPTV Extreme work with Firestick 4k and the Streams For Us software? SFU has recording feature and use of external storage that uses USB stick…from what I see.
Not sure why we cant get any help with the URL’s…How did the recording feature work for you inside of Streams For Us?
I’ve not attempted yet with IPTV Extreme. SFU recording worked fine “as is” with the short session I attempted. Nothing too conclusive.
Thanks WJM
would like to use IPTV Extreme with both Sportztv and Streams for Us IPTVs……how do I find the M3U Playlist code for these IPTV ,,,,both Area 51 and Eternal TV are not accepting new customers
IPTV url for Players Klub?
Hi Troy, My question is what would be a good apk to use with one of my IPTV services? I Currently have Sportz and PK and run them through IPTV extreme. Each have 2 connections giving me a total of 4. The issue I am having is recording 2 shows that come on at the same time as IPTV extreme only allows for recording of one thing at a time taking up that specific time slot. Is there a way to change that to allow more than one recording with extreme? Or is there another apk I could use that… Read more »
Hi Caleb, I have never had great luck with any type of recording for IPTV. I think this is your best bet. You can also look into NextPVR. Run that on your computer, input your M3U URL and try recording that way. Hopefully one of these app developers figures this out soon. Would be nice to schedule future recordings for these various IPTV services.
