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.

New Recording Functions Through Popular Services
Many of the popular IPTV services such as Eternal TV and Area 51 now provide a recording function. See video below for instructions.
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?
Re: Area 51 Issues
It appears that Area 51 does not offer m3u support any longer and all viewing and recording must be done ONLY through their app, and not with a 3rd party application.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I will try this but I have 2 questions:
1, on IPTV Extreme if the stream momentarily buffers, will that automatically stop the recording?
2, I use GSE Smart IPTV app. I like the record function as it is a solution to the recording stopping when it buffers, but I can’t work out how to change the recording directory from my Nvidia Shield internal storage to a larger USB drive. Can anyone help?
Thanks
What the server port for Gmack iptv
Have anyone heard of Ping IPTV
Do you have a server and port for Sling TV?
Hi I’m fairly new and just learning. I think this video is a bit confusing. If you have a fire tv 3rd generation, does it mean you cannot record at all? Even if I purchase the Mecool m 8 s pro L? I’m having a difficult time understanding exactly what is meant as I don’t know about all these products. My husband wants to record Big Ten TV games. And we have 3rd generation fire stick. What do we need?
Besides Android devices what pcs are capable on entry level to save TV series and movies? I want to start saving my DVDs and other media. Im newer to the media file realm. Can I convert an old ps3? Looking for some ideas
Your link for Area 51 no longer works properly in IPTV Extreme? Is there a new link?
Hi Chuck, you need to reach out to Area 51 support. We are no longer trying to provide this type of information as it seems to change every week. Impossible to keep up.
Area 51 closed down with the debacle of iptv. There are still plenty of other services you can use
Area 51 is still up and working with their app. O have not found any other way to get it to work
I have fioo TV can I record as well? I am so frustrated with this…have a very high wifi and still cannot watch a program that does not stop at least 20-25 times…will this ever stop?
Have a few free apps and two that I pay but nothing changes…Help!
Troy thanks for all the great help. I refer you to everyone.
I use iptv extreme with area 51.
Area 51 seems to be recovering and coming back. It is not working with iptv extreme. Is there a new code for the pothole? I am unable to get in my area 51 for some reason my email does not exist with them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again
