Agree although not as many movies or new releases as showbox

No but at least the content it does have can be cast to TV. Showbox while tied to the MX player is quite useless.

Buy an Android Tv box off eBay for about €40 and have showbox directly on the TV without any need for casting from phone.
That's what I do and it works great.

Have considered boxes before and the Nexus PLayer. What one are you using?

Just one I bought on eBay a few years back. It's pretty bog standard but does the job.
You can get quad core ones now and most come fully installed with xbmc and all that.

They were leaked worldwide yesterday. Poor quality though, only 480p.

Having to use MX player is back annoying me after I'd got rid of it for a time  >:(

HD cinema app has Game of Thrones S5 at 720.  Just watched the first 2 and the quality is very good.  When HBO track down whoever the leak is he'll probably suffer the same fate as Mannis!! 🔥

I watched GOT on HDCinema last night, have found this app to be more reliable than Showbox.  Does anybody know of the best link to get xbmc for Android?

Have found a way round MX Player. Install an app called Growbox (you can't have MX installed). This tricks Showbox into thinking it's MX player and allows you to cast.

HD  Cinema is no more. .... is Showbox on borrowed time? ?

Is HD cinema away for good?

Showbox is still running though it can lag a bit. HD Cinema will be back in a month apparently under a new name.

Kodi with the Ice Films add on is a decent job, though I've only watched content on the phone, not sure if you can cast or not

That's always going to be a risk with apps like this. Use the download functionality in it and then watch/cast. No lag.

Anyone else having issues with Show box?

Doesn't seem to be working.

Any alternatives?

Oh aye

HD Cinema is back in action. It's been rebranded and is now called Sky HD. Google sky hd cinema apk
