About
My name is Yacine. I help families, students, expats and resellers choose a subscription that doesn't break down mid-match or mid-Ramadan-series. Since 2019, I've tested more than 60 IPTV providers across the UK, USA, Canada (Quebec), France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Maghreb, on Fire TV Stick, Apple TV 4K, Smart TV Samsung/LG/Sony, Android TV, MAG boxes and iPhone.
My specialty is the Maghreb diaspora living abroad: setting up stable access to ENTV, 2M, Arryadia, El Bilad or MENA sports channels from London, Toronto, Paris, Brussels, Geneva or Montreal — often remotely, in French, English or Darija, including setting up the TV for parents back home. I know the ISPs in each country (Free, Orange, SFR, Bouygues in France; Proximus, VOO in Belgium; Swisscom in Switzerland; Vidéotron, Bell in Quebec) and what to tweak so it holds up on each. I write all the guides and reviews on the DecaTV blog.

Testing method
Every server I recommend goes through 6 weeks of testing: 1 box in Paris (1 Gbps Free fibre), 1 at my family's in Lyon (1 Gbps Orange fibre), 1 at a cousin's in Brussels (Proximus fibre), 1 on Apple TV in Geneva (Swisscom). Latency measured on 8 priority channels (TF1, M6, sports channels, 2M Monde, Echourouk, European leagues in Arabic) at off-peak (2pm) and peak (9pm football matches). Final score = weighted average of stability 40% + picture quality 30% + EPG 15% + VOD catalog 15%.
