I can watch Japanese TV now.

Ever since I got in to the whole XBMC/Kodi thing I have been trying to find a good IPTV (Internet Protocol television) that has Japanese stations and well that offered it for free. Over the last few years I have tried a lot of the free IPTV services and the all had there pros and cons and like every thing that is streamed online channels come and go or don’t work at all. Some had Japanese stations but not the ones I’m looking for. So today I did some digging around and came across a site that offers a few different Japanese IPTV services (japannettv.com). Did a little more digging to find out how well there services where. Took a chance on one of there services/apps called iSakura. Saw that they offered a 3 day test for $4 and a 7 day option for $7. I went with the 7 day option so I can play around with it a little longer. They offer 1,3 and 6 month deals and a 1 year deal. The reason I chose iSakura over the other IPTV services was because I saw one channel I was looking for as I looked at there channels list on there web site. Fighting TV Samurai. Fighting TV Samurai is a sports channel that shows a lot of Pro Wrestling and that has been my end game when looking for a Japanese IPTV service. After getting every thing set up on my Android box I went through the channels to see what they had to offer and the quality of the streams. Come to find out there are a few channels that I knew of that have or at one point had pro wrestling shown on there station. So that was more of a plus for me. Now the quality is great. Like HD tv great and out of the 74 channels offered 2 or 3 where not working, maybe down at this time...I don’t know. The streaming is great as well, only a slight buffering as it loads the channels up. It all so has a 7 day DVR type thing. So I can go back 7 days and watch what ever was on those days. I wish I understood Japanese where I could watch tv shows, but for my wrestling end of things this has been great so far. After the 7 days is up I have to sit down and ask my self if $30 a month or even if $240 for a year is worth it for a hand few of channels that show wrestling and maybe for some game shows. Right now I am thinking I might go with the $30 a month but I might change my mind after the 7 days is up. Then again It all depends on my money as well. If you are a wrestling fan getting in to Japanese wrestling or a Japanese wrestling fan that want’s to watch the shows that air on tv then give this a shot.
