Head of Testing & IPTV Technology Specialist
Daniel Mitchell is a streaming technology specialist with over 8 years of experience testing and evaluating IPTV services across North America. He has personally tested 150+ IPTV providers and leads the editorial team at IPTV USA Canada.
Daniel Mitchell began his career in telecommunications in 2018, working on network infrastructure projects for broadband providers in Ontario, Canada. His interest in IPTV technology started when he began testing streaming services for personal use and quickly realized the gap between what providers claimed and what they actually delivered.
By 2020, Daniel had developed a systematic approach to evaluating IPTV services, testing each provider across multiple devices, ISPs, and time periods to produce reliable, reproducible results. His reviews gained attention in cord-cutting communities for their technical depth and objectivity.
