As with other streaming devices is Now TV about 90 seconds behind the live action?

nothing worse than watching a match you're interersted in and your phone is pinging you that there was a goal and now youre just sitting wiating to see it

Turn off the alerts then. If your expectation is that you want to stream video in real time with no delay then you should go back to SKY through satelite as no streaming service can offer you that. In fact, there is even a delay through SKY. Ever been in a pub where one tv is showing a GAA match on RTE through SAORview and the other showing RTE through SKY

Might be the wrong thread, but seems like people on here would know the craic anyway.
My normal way of watching content up until very recently was to use the Showbox app on my android phone and cast via localcast to a chromecast.
Always worked a treat. But Showbox has been down for a few weeks now and I'm getting withdrawal.

In the past I have used CartoonHD app on the android in the same way. The app seems to be working with plenty of content displayed, but when I try playing or casting any titles I get a Can't play video message.
Does anyone know if CartoonHD is down too?

Main question, any alternatives to Showbox or CartoonHD? I'm not really after live streaming, but I like the concept of choosing from a library. Especially this time of year for Xmas movies for the kids.

Any help appreciated.

Anyone able to recommenced an android box? Would one of those ones for around £20 I've seen on eBay do the job ok?

Anyone got a solid link for TeaTV apk? My provider is fully back up this past few weeks with Live TV, which is great, but the VOD section is deceased and not coming back according to them.

I'll give TeaTv a go.
Thanks all!

Cyberflix been brilliant for me. Much the same as what showbox would have done.
