Sweden. MAG device setup for a family member who is not technical. Portal loaded first time. Interface is simple enough that they can use it without help. Good for non-technical households.

Canada — worth noting the picture quality improvement. My cable package delivered 1080i (interlaced) for most channels. Many IPTV streams are 1080p (progressive) or 4K. On a modern TV, the difference is visible, particularly during fast motion in sports.
