Daniel Malik – Senior IPTV Analyst at IPTVmagnet.com

Senior IPTV & Streaming Technology Specialist at IPTVMagnet.com

Who Is Daniel Malik?

I’m Daniel Malik, a UK-based IPTV and streaming specialist who’s spent the last seven years getting hands-on with IPTV services, apps, and digital TV systems.

As a senior contributor here at IPTVmagnet.com, I help people make sense of IPTV through straightforward advice that comes from real testing and honest reviews, not marketing fluff.

My focus is simple: give you practical guides that actually work. Whether you’re setting up IPTV on your Firestick, fixing annoying buffering issues, or trying to find a provider you can trust without getting burned, I want to make it easier for you.

What I Know (And How I Learned It)

Over the years, I’ve built up solid experience with:

• IPTV systems and playlist formats
• Popular IPTV apps like Smarters, TiviMate, and OTT Navigator
• Setting up Firestick and Android TV devices
• Fixing buffering, freezing, and channel problems
• Legal IPTV options in the UK
• VPN setup for privacy and security
• Testing and evaluating IPTV providers
• Getting IPTV running on Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Android TV)

Everything I write comes from actually using these services and devices myself, not just reading about them or guessing.

My Background

Here’s what I’ve done:

• 7+ years testing and reviewing IPTV services
• Personally tried out over 120 different IPTV providers
• Tested on every major device: Firestick, NVIDIA Shield, Android boxes, MAG devices, Smart TVs
• Tracked performance metrics like server uptime, latency, and packet loss
• Helped thousands of UK users get their IPTV up and running or fix issues
• Supported viewers across the UK, EU, and North Africa

I try to blend technical know-how with a down-to-earth approach, making IPTV accessible for complete beginners while helping experienced streamers get better performance.

I regularly test new IPTV apps, follow OFCOM updates on streaming legality, and analyze IPTV provider performance every month to ensure my guides stay accurate and safe.

How I Test IPTV Services

To keep my recommendations honest and useful, I follow the same testing process every time:

1. Device Compatibility

• Firestick
• Android TV
• Smart TVs
• Mobile devices
• Laptops

2. Stream Quality

• Testing HD, Full HD, and 4K
• Checking performance during peak hours
• Sports stream reliability
• Measuring packet loss and latency

3. Channels & Content

• Accuracy of UK channel listings
• EPG (TV guide) quality
• VOD library stability
• Catch-up and recording features

4. Customer Support

• How quickly they respond
• Whether they actually solve problems
• How they handle support tickets

5. Safety & Legitimacy

• Licensing transparency
• Provider credibility
• Privacy protection

This way, every review stays fair, consistent, and actually helpful.
