How we do this, in public
Every review and score on IPTVDB comes from a specific, reproducible process. These pages document it — and the standards we hold ourselves to.
Testing protocol
720 hours of continuous playback, 4 regions, 6 metric buckets. The full measurement specification.
How we measure uptime
Our exact definition of "up" — API + M3U + real stream playback — plus peak-window weighting.
The IPTVDB Score
How we weight the 6 measurement buckets into a 0–10 composite, and the normalization anchors.
