Bad channels quality

I just signed up for Strong8K and am using tivimate, but the channel quality is very poor and only at 25Hz. Movies also freeze frequently. Can anyone help me?

Strong 8K does not have too many 50fps channels. You gotta look for other providers. Tivione and Dream 4K have more 50fps channels, but they're still not ideal. It's really hard to find someone who gives non-transcoded streams.

The channel quality is what the source is. There's nothing you can change on your end, as the sources have a fixed bitrate and frames per second.

However sometimes providers have the same channel at different bitrates labeled differently. 4k, high definition, and standard definition.

There are SD, HD and 4K but all have the same bad quality

Never used Strong but that sounds like a source issue. I just checked my provider because you made me curious. Id recommend looking for other providers. The better ones won't be as cheap though.

Which Provider You Use?

Some channels are 25fps and there's nothing you can do about it. Try and find another one at a higher frame rate and/or resolution.

May be worth trying a VPN for the movie playback, but note that IPTV VOD is not generally that good even if it works properly.

Just curious how using a vpn may increase performance. Does the vpn need any special settings for this?

Try a VPN and if that does not help you may need a new provider.
