Important Update!

This has been a crazy 36 hours for us as well as the entire IPTV community. The middleware that runs our TV platform was shutdown 2 days ago. Almost all IPTV providers use this middleware and have been impacted or completely shut down.

We (Fierce Gorilla) have been experiencing problems with our channel providers but we are still alive and running stable for the most part. Most of our competitors have not been as fortunate as us as they are completely down until a new middleware is setup.

The good thing is that everyone is working together with many possible solutions to get us all back up and running. Some services are still running but they cannot access their streams or reseller panels at the moment. We still remain fully functional in this regard. As previously stated most of the main channel providers are still down as well. We are still working hard at another solution. We have a few possible senarios that we are testing and we are just trying to figure out what is the best option going forward for our clients.

The reason why everyone used Xtream Codes (XC) was because the apps you use to connect to watch streams - web players, custom apps, billing platforms, etc were all built around it and was the most stable option. Now that this is gone we need to figure out what the next best thing is and make everything work together. 99% percent of the other services you see online are in the same predicament and we are all working together to figure this out.

We appriciate your patience and we do hope that you see how upfront and transparent we are and the work we do to keep our clientel happy! We'll continue to update you as we gather more information and results.

Thank you very much from the Fierce Gorilla Team!

Xtream Codes IPTV Seller System Targeted by Authorities

 

It was recently announced that a major anti-piracy operation against Xtream Codes, an IPTV service management system, is underway in several European countries such as Italy, France, Bulgaria, and the Netherlands.

Legal action against IPTV services and providers are a regular occurrence, but this news regarding Xtream Codes is particularly interesting.

This is a claimed effort by police forces to “dismantle Xtream Codes entire infrastructure.” It should be noted that Xtream Codes is not an IPTV provider, and that’s what makes this case unusual.

Xtream Codes is an IPTV panel that allows providers to manage their own IPTV service and its customers. It should be noted that the majority of IPTV providers use the Xtream Codes system.

Police have stated that the Xtream Codes system had over 5 million users in Italy alone, which equals approximately EUR 60 million in annual revenues.

 

What Does this Xtream Codes News Mean for IPTV Subscribers?

With this recent news on Xtream Codes, what exactly does this mean for current subscribers of an IPTV service?

Well, the important issue to note here is that this could negatively impact over 50 million IPTV users worldwide.

Now, exactly which IPTV services used Xtream Codes is unknown, along with how much data the police got. It’s very likely they now have the names and locations of many of the clients who sell the IPTV services.

According to police they now have control over the system and have reportedly cut off thousands of clients servicing over millions of customers around the world.

It’s true Xtream Codes panels are down and there may be some brief interruptions from time to time, but quality IPTV providers have backup plans in place. Patience is key in situations like this.
