Could someone try sky go and bt sports for me and see if they download and start? I'm away to order one of these boxes if they do

If you ask droidsticks on twitter, they'll tell you.

Sky Go doesn't work as Sky don't allow HDMI out. You can't mirror the screen with it either.

BT Sports does work, but you need to have a good enough SmartDNS/VPN or actually be in the UK for the stream to work.

Some Smart DNS providers cater for this :)

You can seriously get rid of Sky Go & BT Sports though.

Install AceStream & SopCast then the Torrent TV.ru stuff and you're laughing.

Would also recommend installing "The Beast". http://thebeast.spartanpixel.net/- the iVue tv guide is superb, even without any editing of it :ok:

Aye, I can output Sky Go to the telly using HDMI when using the laptop.

But, these hdmi sticks generally use ARM processors although you can get some with Intel processors.

On a quick search, Silverlight (Sky Go) doesn't run on the ARM processors unless it has been changed recently and I didn't find anything.

Would go for an intel stick with Windows 10 but they're around £100 quid.

I have a droidbox what is zgemma? 

It's a satellite box.  I have the zGemma Star 2S.  Hook it up to your Sky Dish and Internet, pay someone £20 and boom, Sky for a yeat.

 

Has every channel, inc PPVs and Adult, and you also get Setanta for the Saturday 3pm English game.  No buffering nonsense either.

I've bought one on ebay and 2 on amazon for others. 

They're about 65 quid. But I had nectar vouchers and that to use. 

It's a pile of piss to set up and I went from receiving it to watching the Playboy Channel in less than an hour.
