Now if you are looking for Arabic/Greek IPTV you will likely have heard of ZaapTV, also seemingly known by its apparent partner company, MaaxTV, and the deal seems to be promising. The most up to date model, with NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION advertised everywhere, but I urge you, DO NOT fall for it! Their shady buisness practices, along with the seemingly inexistent customer service requires some more digging,
About 1-2 years ago, I purchased my first ZaapTV, the ZaapTV 209N, and it promised everything, and it provided that too. The quality of the streams were great, high quality etc. However, some months later they randomly stopped the service, and claimed that everyone had to purchase the newer models as they were "upgrading" the infrastructure. They had a trade in program, but you still had to pay over $200 extra for a service you had initially thought was free. So my new ZaapTV 509N arrived in the mail, and I was all excited. Set it up, but I noticed that this version was more filled with bugs than the streets of Beirut. It was essentially unusable. The features promised, such as Screen Recordings never seemed to work or be implemented. And other people had this problem. So what would a normal company do? Immediately update the software, but that never happened. Over the course of the 1-2 years, I only ever received 2-3 updates, and each one made it WORSE! Filling the space with useless ads, and features such as paid VOD and such. Now here is where it all gets worse. One day, my ZaapTV randomly stopped working. Why you may ask? It wanted a "renewal code" . And at this point I lost it. The ONLY reason I bought the box was because of the so blatantly advertised no monthly subscriptions. Thinking this must be a bug, I went on to the website, and sure enough, they had phased out the 509N and wanted me to pay for a 2 year subscription, at $350! Thats the same I payed for the actual device! I contacted ZaapTV customer support, thinking I could get some sort of compensation, or atleast an explanation as to why they violated the terms of my purchase but nothing. No reply at all. So this is where I am, with a $400 IPTV box, but no IPTV. So the TL;DR version, DON'T buy a ZaapTV, the company is shady, and is concerned about only one thing. Taking your money.

Totally agree, they are scammers and all they want is taking more and more your money, I spent more than 600 $ for less than 2 years for a service they promised was free with no monthly fees. First scam was upgrading the device with new technology, second scam is the renewal codes with top dollars, one word fuck u zaaptv for scamming people and they should be reported as scammers to the business bureau. Again, shame on you zaap or maaxtv. Do not buy, and do not try.... stay away
