Which one should you pick?

👉 Pick Apollo if

You already own an Apollo TV Stick or Stream Stick — there's no other server that runs on it. Apollo also has the best uptime in the category and the strongest premium-sports coverage if you bundle the TV + Stream sticks.

👉 Pick Mars if

You want the cheapest renewal and you have a GTMEDIA Mars box. Mars is locked to its own hardware — but at $5-9 for 12 months it's the lowest-cost IPTV server in this comparison. Strong for Asian and MENA channels.

👉 Pick Nashare V2 if

You have a generic satellite receiver (Tiger, Geant, Starsat, Dreambox, Vu+) — Nashare runs on more devices than any other server. Three tiers let you start small (V2 Pro $8) and upgrade if you want premium content (V2 Premier+ $30-60). Best EU + Africa CDN.

Switching between them

You generally cannot switch servers without changing receivers. Apollo only runs on Apollo-licensed sticks; Mars only runs on GTMEDIA Mars boxes; Nashare V2 runs on most generic receivers. If you're switching, plan to either change boxes or buy a new receiver compatible with your target server.

If you have multiple devices, it's common to renew different servers for different rooms — for example Apollo on the main TV (premium sports) and Nashare on a backup box. Our marketplace supports renewing multiple servers in a single checkout.

Common questions

Which IPTV server has the most channels?

Apollo and Nashare V2 Premier both carry 15,000+ live channels including premium sports, movies, and international packages. Mars carries around 10,000 channels with strong Asian and MENA focus.

Which is the cheapest to renew?

Mars is typically the cheapest at $5-9 for 12 months. Nashare V2 Pro and Apollo are mid-tier at $8-15 for 12 months. Premium variants (Apollo VIP, Nashare V2 Premier+) cost $25-65 for 12 months. Pricing varies by your region and seller.

Can I switch from one server to another?

Yes — but you need a receiver that supports the target server. Apollo only works on Apollo-compatible boxes (TV Stick, Stream Stick); Mars only works on GTMEDIA Mars boxes; Nashare works across most Tiger / Geant / Starsat / Dreambox receivers.

Which server is most reliable?

All three are stable in 2026. Apollo has the best uptime (99.5%+), Nashare V2 has the best CDN coverage in Europe and Africa, and Mars has the strongest Asian server infrastructure.
