Service(4 stars) - no channel 1
10/27/2021(3 stars): Since my initial review service has improved and I would give service availability 4 stars, but since end of 09/2021 channel 1 is no longer available. I have since moved to another provider and now I pay no more than $10 per month for all Russian channels with same if not better quality. You can find a cheap provider by searching for 'iptv providers' on yandex.ru. These are going to be Russian/non-US based companies which may or may not accept US payments, I had to contact support of the provider I chose and they provided me with instructions on paying using PayPal. After signing up and paying, all you get is what's called a playlist, tv guide(EPG) URLs, a settings page where you can pick a server close to your geolocation and other settings such as to exclude other ОДКБ countries' channel groups. Next I installed the 'Tivimate' app(you can find pro version for free if you look hard enough, I still paid for mine after playing around to support the devs and because I really liked it) on my smart TV. After launching it you'll need to enter the playlist URL and maybe make other setting changes such as EPG URL or the amount of seconds you want to ffw/rewind each time you hit the button and you're set. It takes a bit to learn the new app to get used to it. This solution is only for technical users though, and if you have issues with the app you can't expect the iptv provider to provide help, you need to be able to fix things yourself. Tivimate is not the only app you can use, there is perfect player, IPTV Smarters Pro, ottplayer, OTT Navigator and others, just google 'iptv apps', but in my opinion Tivimate beats them all. 01/09/2021(1 star): Not a reliable company! Service goes down too often. I heard the words "sorry for the inconvenience" so many times from them that I see them in my dreams already. Company information on the internet hides the owner's name which means something is not kosher. I found what it is and you can too, just google the phrase "RUSSIAN TV COMPANY INC + casetext"
