Ownership & Editorial Disclosure
In September we checked every page on this site against this disclosure. We removed 139 review-rating blocks from the structured data that search engines read. Each one cited a "90-day hands-on review" that we never carried out. We also took 29 long articles out of search results until they can be rewritten without testing claims. Ownership has not changed: StreamReviewHQ is run by the same company that sells IPTVTheOne, and we do not operate a testing lab.
The rules are clear here. In August 2024 the Federal Trade Commission voted unanimously to ban fake consumer reviews and testimonials, and the rule took effect that October. Still to do this quarter: some pages, including our homepage, still use older "tested" wording that this disclosure contradicts. We are removing it, and we will update this note as each rewritten article goes back into search.
On September 16, 2026, we finished a sitewide audit that followed the corrections above. It found 1,298 first-person testing claims on 81 of our 85 pages, covering a hardware bench, uptime probes and support-ticket logs. It also found 139 star-rating blocks in the pages' structured data. None of that testing ever happened. All 139 rating blocks are gone. We deleted 41 articles whose titles promised a test we never ran, and we hid 29 more from search engines until they are rewritten. The site now has 18 indexable pages. IPTVTheOne still owns and operates it.
We did not treat this cleanup as optional. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's final rule banning fake reviews and testimonials took effect on October 21, 2024. It bars reviews that misrepresent the reviewer's actual experience, and it bars insider reviews that don't disclose the relationship. This site had published both kinds. For background on why an owner reviewing its own competitors matters, see conflict of interest. By the end of the fourth quarter of 2026, each of the 29 hidden articles will be rewritten without testing claims or deleted. We will list every change on this page with its date.
StreamReviewHQ is not an independent publication. It is owned and operated by the same company that operates IPTVTheOne, an IPTV service that is reviewed and ranked on this site.
What that means when you read a review here
- When IPTVTheOne appears in a ranking on this site, it is our own service being ranked by us. Treat that placement as a vendor claim, not as third-party validation.
- Reviews of other providers are written by the operator of a competing service. That is a real conflict of interest and you should weigh them accordingly.
- We earn money when readers subscribe to IPTVTheOne.
Corrections made on 2026-09-10
This site previously described itself as an "independent" review publication and stated that it had no affiliate or commercial relationship with the services it ranks. Those statements were inaccurate and have been removed sitewide.
Those claims are being removed as each page is revised. Where a figure cannot be independently verified, the page now says so rather than presenting an unverified number.
How to sanity-check anything you read here
Prices, channel counts and feature lists should be confirmed on the provider's own site before you buy. Where we cite third-party data we link to the original source so you can check it yourself.
