Parklife Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 To be honest, the only thing I'd use it for is sports. If it's shite for that, then there's not much point for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanJon Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I know you have to pay but scottishfitbaw.com is a good site for watching the football .£32 for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 To be honest, the only thing I'd use it for is sports. If it's shite for that, then there's not much point for me. As I said I set it up myself so there may be better ways of getting sports on it. I've basocally just got the sports thing I found online for it. If someone knew what they were doing there may be better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euan2020 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 1 of my friends has a ROKU box and he has access to Skysports etc and live UK channels - feeding off some subscription in carribbean - say GBP25 a month Think i will get ROKU 3, dont see ROKU 4 being worth the extra money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistle do nicely Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I have a wee box that plugs in the side of the tv. Its home screen is a bit like a tablet and you can download aps. There is one called showbox that until a month or so ago had the latest films and pretty good quality. It seems to be not working the now, so I have added kodi. This has things called add ons that act like aps. there is one called ccloud that lets you watch tv channels all over the world allegedly. Phoenix as well has tv and films. These havent been as good as showbox was, they seem to have too busy streams and the sport channels rarely work when there is something worth watching. I hope to get setanta working for the match but I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Android boxes are piss poor for sport. I used Wookie on my android box and it downloaded a whole range of add ons that are great for sport. As Parklife said, zemtv is good as is Halow and NJM Soccer. Between them I never struggle to see a game and the quality of the streams are usually very good. Phoenix sometimes have decent streams but I found their Premier League Pass streams to pixelate too often when watching them. It can be quite daunting at first, but once you work out which addons are good for certain things it won't take you long to find what you're looking for.

Cheers, hopefully I can watch the France match. Most of the alleged sports streams only showed sky sports 3 and the rest didn't work. I've loaded the above ones and I'll add these two as well, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the Scotland v Italy game on the Halow add on if I remember correctly. The quality was ok, not in full HD but watchable and it didn't buffer at all during the game.

OLAS Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 You can buy a great IPTV package from Alex press for just under €50 which gives all Sky UK, Germany, Italy and all sorts of other channels that works brilliantly. That's for the year. You can trial it for free for 48 hope or buy an individual month for around 6 euro. Well worth it. Is that good I've got rid of my dreambox.

euan2020 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Anyone who is more technical know if you can buy the "Now TV" box and just use as a regular Roku box ? I think its just a Roku box but wonder if its banded like they do to phones Notice Asda has them for GBP 15 while ROKU box is GBP 65 (and not delivered after 1 week ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stream IPTV pretty comfortably with 2Mbps. Although streaming full hd with multi sound tracks will require a lot more. The Nvidia Shield TV will take some beating for being the fastest box on the market. Amlogic processors, like what's in that box linked, are nothing compared to the Tegra. 13 hours ago, euan2020 said: Anyone who is more technical know if you can buy the "Now TV" box and just use as a regular Roku box ? I think its just a Roku box but wonder if its banded like they do to phones Notice Asda has them for GBP 15 while ROKU box is GBP 65 (and not delivered after 1 week ) The Now TV boxes are normally locked down. I used the original version for a while and liked it a lot. You can sideload one application (Plex, normally). It's good for catch up telly. The newer version is slightly faster and offers full HD streaming... although I don't think Sky actually stream HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a low-powered NAS (an old 2tb WD MyCloud & around £150ish) that I hacked Debian on to and ran a Plex server. It wasn't a nice experience so moved to Kodi. Plex server (and client, of course) is now going to be built into the Nvidia Shield TV. The latest software is apparently going to be released tomorrow. May make the change back if it works as I hope it does. Best purchase I've made for IPTV, movies and TV shows. £150 from Amazon. Nvidia claim it's also a first-class console as it streams PC games from their servers. It plays pretty good but I'm not into games much since Sensible Soccer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
