Hi, Thinking of getting an Android box. Anyone have any experience of these and may be able to point me in the right direction. Do they have all the boxsets? Can you get the premiership on them through streaming etc?
are they better than getting Netflix?
Cheers

They don't have all the boxsets they are just a platform for you to access things like NowTV and Netflix.
You can get BBC iPlayer and 4OD but other than that you're going to have to fork out to watch anything decent! My box isn't Android but does the same job it's a ROKU3 Player and works well!

Bud Wiser is launching a new one on 10th August, was supposed to have it this week. If you can't wait then the best next one is Zoomtak. Make sure it is from the original manufacturer and has an aluminium case. Apart from dissipating heat the amount of junk stuffed into plastic boxes is unbelievable - and dangerous.
Next year our flat screen 1080p will be history as we all move to 4K UHD (Ultra High Definition) and there are a couple of comparrisons on YouTube about UHD. Our box already has the capability to stream UHD. If you are looking at UHD on YouTube make your screen full screen and then go to settings within YouTube and select UHD above 1080p.
Our new box has 4K Streaming/Ultra High Definition and comes with Android V 5.1

I upgraded mine there recently for a box called an MX III
Plays Kodi brilliantly. Kodi didnt work so well on the last one I had which was a dongle type that plugged straight into TV HDMI socket. This also has 4k capability.
Was €75 delivered.

The whole point of these boxes is that you fork out for nothing??

You get what you pay for, some are $30, some are 130$ but when the newer higher definition TVs come out, (are out) it will be the units with the better processing capabilities that make the difference. Having said that, if you dont have good broadband forget it.
Here is a sample https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vrdgDdPApQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vrdgDdPApQ) of the new 4k/UHD that all new tv's will have. Go to you tube, select full screen and then in settings select the 2160p resolution. You won't stream that on a 30$ box with a dual core processor unless you are prepared to watch it starting and stopping like the Laois team.
Even if you have low bandwidth you can still manage fairly well once you have a good box but compare apples with apples when you are deciding, not price.
-
Bud what is the minimum speed required to watch shows through your contraption without it stopping and starting for 720p. Have been debating for a while whether to get one of these.
-
If you want to know what an android box is like download Kodi (Xbmc) to your android phone and watch the streams. Streams all differ in quality from HD to pretty low quality pixelated. If you have 5 mins of patience you'll find a quality stream for any Sky or other channel you are after. I have BT infinity and the kids have any movie they want in HD or 720. Live streams are more like 480 but fine if you sit back a little.
-
4k saturation is still years off. I'm not even touching it for my next mointor and there's more compelling reasons to do it there than on a TV.

I don't think it's that far off at all. Prices are tumbling, while still prohibitively expensive.

but still like 3D no content worth getting it for. i heard the studios are all waiting for 8K which will be here in a few years . then maybe as long as its compatable 4K might be worth it

Your offer looks great Bud - do you need a subscription to any other service to watch sports though?

Hi Ros, how are you. I don't be on here that much anymore but I must make a comeback ! I see a lot of the old hands are still here, love reading Donnelly's Hollow on the nags, I see Dinny Breen pops in now and again. Awful lack of big rows though !! Maybe Dubs having all their games at home and having a basketball coach on their backroom team should start one?
As for the boxes, I don't want to appear to be using DB to sell them but I have tested a lot of them. Make sure the housing is aluminium case (heat dissipation) for one thing and cheap copies of shady technology inside plastic copies being another reason. Make sure it has a decent spec (2GB Ram and 8GB Flash Memory)
The best way is for five or six people to group together and by direct from a manufacturer, Zoomtak for instance. They have their own back up server so at any time you can upgrade the box OTA. You can also reset the box to default and upgrade to new versions of Kodi direct from their server. I say five or six in a group because with DHL Freight you would end up getting 5 for the price of 3 - generally !
As for the idea itself of having a box you will seldom look at TV again as you used to. Go for it Ros

You can, its been covered on a couple of other threads recently.
Casting from kodi/xmbc or something like that one was called recently if your interested look through it plenty of decent help on there

Class!!
I have a strange setup I have SkyGo on the Android tablet... basic freeview (No RTE) and a few decent Sky Channels through NOW TV.
I had been streaming RTE through Hola on the Laptop but it hasn't worked in a while and this is probably the most Championship matches I've missed in a long time (Not that I've missed much from what I've heard of the games).
Cheers Boycey you're a gent (For a week anyway until I have to get stuck in on the Utd thread again!) :)

If you take a look here you will see this lunatic telling you how to configure Kodi. Most boxes should come with it already configured or contained in add ons like Phoenix but if only for a laugh have a listen to this fella - go to 13 mins in for the stations he adds on.

Hey guys
It has been a long time since I posted on this board (nearly forgotten how to do it at this stage), but I do keep an eye on it from time to time.
Anyway, I picked up a Q5 android box from www.fennetec.com (http://www.fennetec.com) and I have to say it's a superb piece of kit. Incredible spec, and great functionality. Also, a small thing, but the remote makes it very easy to navigate around the system and kodi. The design of the box itself is very neat, but also looks bullet proof, so will hopefully have it for years. In comparison, I bought a relatively cheap media player a few years ago, but it packed in after about a year. So the Q5 might not be the cheapest box on the market, but my motto is - you generally get what you pay for, and there's no doubting the Q5 quality. Some good reviews in the links below, and these guys seem to know what they're talking about...

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=221407 (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=221407)
Finally, just to say - I had barely placed the order on the website, and Bud rang me to arrange delivery. And he dropped it down personally, so fair play Bud - 10/10 for customer service.
Apologies if the links/quote above don't work, I'm well out of practice....

Ah jaysus, only saw this now and that's a nice thing to say. I didn't drive all the way to Sligo with it though, I was down in Donellans in Knockvicar drinking pints and I said to myself, before I started into them that you were not that far away and I would drop it off. Lovely country up there and I must tell this story:
There is no mobile phone service, no broadband where I was but somehow a text got through to my phone sitting on the bar, back end of beyond in Knockvicar. I said to my man, that was ***** ****** who plays for Dublin and he wants to play golf on Tuesday. Fella down the bar say's "Do you know him, how do your know him, I'm his feckin godfather" So I texted back, "ring you later, drinking pints with your godfather Gerry in Knockvicar" Small world.
The box. I may no longer have your email but, and this goes for all TV Boxes, there is a doomsday factory default. Manufacturers are reluctant to give out their boot firmware. I have the boot firmware for your product on a USB stick and it is on a zip file that I can mail you. There is no need to use it, avoid using it at all costs unless you are in real trouble. Save it and keep it safe. If box ever fails just stick in USB, switch off, hold pin in reset and it will return to fresh start up. Also, once a month, at least, go to apps, find Kodi App and under "Uninstall" select clear cache. Any issues; tom@fennetec.com Thanks. And thanks for the plug ! !

You dont need to pay for anything once you know where to look for content.
Don't be shy with specific pointers LL - don't mind paying for a Sports service if needs be, if I can get it free all the better!

First off you'll need Kodi and then you need to find repos, all easily found on Google and YouTube tutorials of how to install.
I find SportsDevil to be the most reliable of them all. You may end up watching a game in Russian,German or Dutch but that never bothers me,anything is better than Michael Owen any ways,but there is often plenty of English streams too for games.
It's not HD but it's more than watchable. I'd rather watch a stable stream than a buffering HD stream.
Within SportsDevil I have found the best links to be livesportstreams.tv and AtdheNet.tv for literally any football game being played anywhere in the world at that moment aswell as other sports like baseball,American football etc and also then mamahd.com for live UK sport channels like Sky and BT Sports.
If you google there are plenty of others like UKTurk,Phoenix and more but as I said SportsDevil I have found to be the best and I have never missed a game with it even if the game isn't on UK television.
Here's a guide on how to install.

Came across a new build for Kodi last night called DadLife from kodiuk.tv that may be of interest to guys here
It was only released at the start of the month, so could be bugs, but looks good so far
Install instructions here;
https://seo-michael.co.uk/dad-life-kodi-build-uk-family-friendly-build/
I've previously only used the standard Kodi install with apps like Genesis, iStream, IceFilms, 1Channel, vdubt25 but this seems handier with all those and more preconfigured as well as ivue EPG for live TV.
I put it on an amazon fire stick for my brother, ticks all the boxes for him. I'll let yous know after a few weeks of using it what i think
-
WeeDons, I'd be interested to hear how that compares to The Beast (https://seo-michael.co.uk/the-beast-build-for-kodi/).
It comes preloaded with everything you could want, including all the pr0n that you don't want.

That looks deadly - have you used it before?
Installation is as easy as it looks in the how-to?
-
That does look very cool indeed, I be interested to hear how well it works.
Does it completly wipe the Kodi build you have already?
I've put a lot of time adding repos to my android box and I'd hate to lose them all if that build wasn't stable.
Does it have sportsdevil?
I suppose I could install it on my phone first to check.
-
Yeah, I installed The Beast a week ago and it's been great and stable.
I've no idea if it overwrites your own repos as I haven't gone back to my old boring build.
SportsDevil is included

LL - do you regularly clear data and clear cache in settings/apps/kodi to keep things working fresh? and if so, do your repositories remain after this?

Would I be able to get kodi or xbmc on an android streaming stick and would I be able to watch live sports on that? I have a wall mounted tv and don't have the space for a box but a usb stick would be suitable if I thought I could get live sport.
-
so which orf these android boxes would anyone recommend getting?
I am thinking of ordering one from amazon, but unsure what hardware to go for.

Are these things hard to use and configure?
I was looking at one like this for sale: http://www.adverts.ie/media-players/m8s-android-tv-box/9080504
If I bought it, what next? Does it come with all the software I need installed?
Are the channels like Sky Movies and Sports a bit like watching a live stream on the internet?
Can Sky scramble their signal and make these boxes useless?
Sorry for the novice questions.

That one in your link comes fully loaded but I prefer to wipe it clean and load my own stuff, all pretty easy and plenty of YouTube videos to help.
Streams and links come and go an some are better than others, the trick is to have a few sources to pick from so if one does go down you will have another to watch.
The quality ranges from poor unwatchable streams to HD quality and everything in between. Its all about knowing where to look for the right stream and once again Google/YouTube is your friend.
It sounds complicated but it really isn't once you have it set up.
That link Smoking Joe posted looks like it has everything anyone would want from an android box, install that and you should be good to go or if you buy that one then just play around with it for a bit until you get used to it and learn how to install stuff yourself.

As a non-geek, all the terminology had me a bit baffled.

I've installed it - very simple and the UI is deadly.
It's only filling 2/3 of my screen though and I'm not finding anything under settings/video or Google to help - did you get the same when you installed it?

I've never used chrome cast but you can buy an android tv hdmi dongle that will do the exact same thing as the android tv box.

Just make sure to buy one powerful enough. I have one a few years old that won't run Kodi.

An Amazon Firestick will do ur trick, cost about £25. U load kodi/xbmc onto it and bobs ur uncle.

SportsDevil is included
I've installed it - very simple and the UI is deadly.
It's only filling 2/3 of my screen though and I'm not finding anything under settings/video or Google to help - did you get the same when you installed it?
Sorry, my screen near enough fitted automatically. I did find a YouTube video showing you how to size the screen for my Firestick, but that's probably not much help to you.

Anyone using 'The Beast' on Kodi have a problem with the search function?
When you try and search, the keyboard function appears but there are no numbers & letters on it - anyone know a workaround?

occasionally this will happen or you search and the search function disappears heffo, but it seems to sort itself. Try clearing the 'cache' with application manager/kodi
the 'beast' is a goodin

What is the beast?
-
What is the beast?
its a kodi player / package with a reck of video addons built into it, Sports Devil, Genesis, Phoenix etc etc. Saves you downloading the player and separately adding the addons individually
-
Thanks - I'll have to get it going. Want to have a sports add-on sorted soon especially for the Fury fight.

I've tried clearing the cache via the homescreen shortcut - will try in App manager.
It's been like that since I installed the new image a few weeks ago
-
The Beast is definitely a slick build with an excellent looking interface but like all these custom builds it is only as good as the addons underneath it and anyone using Kodi regularly will have most of them installed anyway. You will find the same problem occurring from time to time with missing and broken links...

Is Anyone here using a VPN with theirs. The reason I ask is that I've found Genesis and Phoenix to be unreliable this last few weeks and it can take ages to find a decent stream. I'm pretty sure its not the box (MXIII) as I use sportsmania and its working perfectly.
BTW - For those of you who don't mind paying a bit sportsmania is a great add-on. less than €40 for a 6 month subscription and access to more sports channels than you could ever watch (including every EPL match every weekend, every NFL game and NFL redzone). You can even use it through a browser, i.e. perfect if you're away from home.

I've never used a VPN but I have had issues with both Genesis and Phoenix lately, pretty much the same as you struggling to find a decent stream at times. Curiously the problem doesn't seem as bad on a laptop that I've Kodi installed on as it is on my Firestick, I updated the Firestick to the latest version of Kodi last night but never got checking it yet.

I think I'll get a proxy anyway - about 20 quid for 3 months and there's a bbc iplayer add-on for kodi that would work with a proxy. its nearly worth it for that alone

How do you get a proxy to work with the firestick?

For live TV are you guys using the iVue guide?
What apps are you using to get RTE1 & RTE2? I'm getting sound only atm via IrishTV & Vdubt25
A lot of the live channels are looking to use IPTVStalker which is no longer free, anyone got a good free suggestion or is their a good reliable source thats worth paying for?

https://spartanpixel.net/Kodi/thebeast/
Download repo version. I was running sky sports on it yesterday across 3g no probs. There's Phoenix, sports devil and the like. Others with live sports directories. Box office, are you thinking of the boxing? Must have a look through it but there will be loads of decent links to it I'm sure
-
PS, the repo download is fairly big. Download, run through the install (will ask you to tick the box to allow 3rd party / non trusted apps). Install, it will auto update any addons that need updated. After that you are good to go. The shortcut on your phone for the beast will be the standard blue and white 'kodi' icon. Click it, then video / addons. All add ons listed in alphabetical order

I've never watched box office per se, but you'll get the content of box office through live links on sports add ons. As I said above Heffo, there are quite a few apps on the Beast, I'll have a bit of a nosey this evening to see if Box Office is listed on any app with the other Sky Sports channels. These freebie apps and links are never 100% though and can be frustrating.

The Firestick retails at £35 so I suppose £65 isn't too bad for something that comes "fully loaded" if you think you're not good at that kind of thing. However my experience would be that eventually you will have to perform some kind of maintenance/updating to it yourself. Its just a fact of life with kodi that stuff disappears/reappears/stops updating over time, with that in mind a little bit of knowledge early on will go a long way.
Flick back through the thread I think there are links to guides for installing Kodi to a stick and then install "The Beast" build on it. If not I can point you to a couple of easy guides on Youtube

I use sportsmania and love it. have it on kodi when i'm at home and on the laptop when i'm on the move. The big thing it has over the others is that it works pretty much first time every time - I get a bit fed up chasing free streams after a while

Have you a version of Kodi already on your firestick?
I had this problem when installing the beast on a firestick which already had a version of Kodi on it, ended up removing the original version and then had no bother getting the beast on.

Got Kodi onto a Fire Stick last night. Actually seems a bit more stable than my android box, which is hard wired to the router.
Using the Black Box build. No issues so far!

I have Kodi on my phone, think I am using version 15.2. So is it best to remove KODI and install the beast? Do I then need to reinstall KODI or does the install of the beast include that?
I have an android phone and followed the instructions, i.e selected the repo version. What is the difference between this version and the android version and should I not go for that one if I am on an android phone?

my beast is Kodi 14.2
I downloaded the repo from the spartanpixel.com site. The other options were torrent or a downdload apk 14.2 which I'm assuming is the same. The seo Michael site says to do a clean install, so remove whatever kodi you have. The beast download has the Kodi player and all the addons which install during the install
-
Just clear data on the Kodi app settings on your device. No need to delete and reinstall.
There is a Kodi app on the play store also even if you do delete so very easy to install anyway.

Thanks lads. Aye, I used to get any version of KODI I used off their site but the most recent one was taken since they linked up with the app store. Will give it a go later, really want to be set-up for the upcoming boxing and UFC fights.

i wouldnt Heffo sorry. Its not overly time consuming to install from scratch using the link above (the repo download). Download and hit install, takes maybe 5/10mins max to load the player and all the addons . The beast is set to update add ons automatically, so for a good while, there shouldn't be too many dead addons, links etc

Is the fire stick or the android box better anyone?

I have been using KODI for a while on my phone. Linked it to localcast via an xml file. Always worked a dream. I would also use HD Cinema too, nearly as good and quicker to search and use but it gives you the option to play locally or stream. Downloaded the beast and got her streaming for any non-live programmes but for any live tv stream I always get the codec error from my chromecast. I have had to reinstall the beast minus the xml link-in and it now plays live tv no bother on my phone. Is there no way about this? Do these andorid boxes have this isue or are they more robust in comparison with a chromecast i.e. do they decode the majority of streams?
-
To answer both questions above....
I have both an android box and an amazon firestick. I prefer the firestick as it seems to be more stable. Whilst it isn't hard wired to the router, it still out performs my m8 android box.
nrico2006, in my opinion, chromecast and all those local cast things etc just add an extra layer of possible problems.
Get yourselves an Amazon Firestick. £25 on Amazon today for Black Friday.
Couldn't beat it with a big stick!

I dunno why anyone still bothers with casting, its too much hassle.

You're casting from a device to your phone with Chromecast.
A firestick plugs straight into your HDMI. No messing about.
You're also able to get Kodi on your firestick with a bit of footering.

I put Kodi on a firestick during the week and then installed the Beast. I was trying to watch a match during the week using the Live Sports > BT Sport Europe link on the landing screen but it would only work for a few minutes and then would cut off. I have a 6 Meg download speed, I assumed that would be enough to stream. I've no bother watching films, tv shows or freeview channels on it. Is the server just too busy?
I couldn't get rte going on the iVue guide links either. I was getting an error message and it was saying to check the logs. Any ideas?

There is limited cache available on the Firestick and it fills up very quickly. I empty the cache everytime I launch Kodi.... Its more of a problem watching live stuff than streaming tv series and the like
Where are you based? if not in Ireland RTE probably won't work without a VPN

Take yer Points, maybe try a couple of different add-ons. Dexter TV and Phoenix are the ones I usually go for.
I would also tend to avoid any Sky Sports or BT streams. I reckon everyone uses those so they may be pretty slow and buffer a lot.
The matches on that Premier League Pass are great! No buffering and HD quality.

No, it tends to be the stream that shows up through Phoenix.
And it's the one that shows up for 3pm Saturday kick-offs too.

I empty the cache everytime I launch Kodi....
Boycey, how do you do this?
BTW, there was an update for The Beast at the weekend and it not gives more sources for sports. I'd recommend updating.
On Kodi, you just launch the ChrisB wizard from within your add-ons, select The Beast and then let it work for 30 or 40 minutes.

If you launch Kodi like I do via the Manage Installed Applications menu there is an option below 'launch application' to clear cache, note don't click on Clear Data as it'll clear the build, repos etc that u have installed...
Like laoislad says further down you can clear it from within the beast build but it seems to me more thorough to clear it before u start using it..

I empty the cache everytime I launch Kodi....
Boycey, how do you do this?

What version are you on? I see an option for the beast version 1.2 and also a option the beast encore.
What one is the newer version.
I didn't choose either of those two LL. I choose an option that was something like "The Best the best build"
Ok I downloaded this one but it seems to have made no difference to my build. Maybe I already had it?
Though in one of the tabs its telling me I'm still on version 1.0.

Ive ordered one of the Amazon fire sticks. Is it easy to set up (im ok with computers and technology but not great). How do I get Saturday Premiership games on it for free?
-
It's handy enough if you know your way round a computer.
Basically there are three things you need to do. In very simplified terms....
1. Plug your firestick in and get the IP address from it, and flick a switch in one of the menus.
2. Download two applications to your computer. The latest KODI apk and a remote installer (adbFire) to put the KODI app on the firestick.
3. Once KODI is on the Firestick then you need to install a build on your KODI. Some people like The Beast or others. I prefer the Black Box build. It's simple to navigate and takes up less space on your firestick.
Here's a couple of links that should provide you with detailed instructions and the right links to the various applications you need.
Install KODI on Firestick: http://www.tvaddons.ag/install-kodi-amazon-fire-tv/
Install Black Box Build: http://kodicommunity.com/the-amazing-black-box-build-wizard-installed-using-the-wonderful-kodi-builds/
Once you've all that sorted just have a look through the various add-ons and links etc. You'll soon find your way about and what works.
For 3pm Kick-offs I mostly use Phoenix. Off the top of my head, go into the add-on, then Phoenix TV, then click Live Sports and Football. A list of links to matches should appear.
But be warned, sometimes links can be broken, you might get buffering or poor quality pictures. It's a matter of finding your way around and getting a decent stream. It's free after all! :-)
-
PS. Don't let some f*cker charge you £30 to do what I've set out above.....
KODI is all free.
-
I think anyone can charge to do something like that. Do you call a plumber something because he unblocks your toilet? Not every one knows what they are doing to install Kodi on a firestick. If they don't they pay - like everyone else surely?
-
Fair enough, but when he said he was ok with computers then I assumed he'd be grand to follow the instructions.
You're not selling fully loaded firesticks by any chance? haha! ;-)

Definitely true up to a point but I think a lot of people are underselling themselves and buying fully loaded boxes/firesticks etc when they don't need to. Most people in this day and age are computer literate to some degree and with a wee bit of patience and trial and error almost anyone could follow the steps in those guides..
I will however make an exception for my woman who thinks all these things are done by black magic or something :-). I've given up trying to explain the difference between the proper Skybox/Dodgy Skybox/Firestick currently attached to our TV. If I hear "How to I watch......" one more time

Can I go wrong with the Fire TV for 65 quid? 4K support, native support for mainstream apps in HD and (apparently) good KODI support, although has to be sideloaded. Thoughts?

I put Kodi on a firestick during the week and then installed the Beast. I was trying to watch a match during the week using the Live Sports > BT Sport Europe link on the landing screen but it would only work for a few minutes and then would cut off. I have a 6 Meg download speed, I assumed that would be enough to stream. I've no bother watching films, tv shows or freeview channels on it. Is the server just too busy?
I couldn't get rte going on the iVue guide links either. I was getting an error message and it was saying to check the logs. Any ideas?
There is limited cache available on the Firestick and it fills up very quickly. I empty the cache everytime I launch Kodi.... Its more of a problem watching live stuff than streaming tv series and the like
Where are you based? if not in Ireland RTE probably won't work without a VPN
Thanks Boycey (and the G's Man). I did a bit of reading about the cache and found a way to increase the cache size. I made that change (to 150Mb) after finding a YouTube video explaining how to do it (link below) and its flying now. Great job.

RE: RTE, Im in the north so I'm assuming I shouldn't have any problems. The message I'm getting is about a UK TV add-on not working. I've tried reinstalling it but no joy. I'll try and find the add-on from another source if I can - haven't really had a good look yet.
-
I'd never needed to use RTE on mine but I checked it on iVue there and it don't work for me either (South). I'll have a better look for u tomoro but I'd suspect it's just the add on iVue is using ain't reliable. From memory vdubt25 used to have RTE in his live tv channels u could try his add-on..
-
Completely new to this whole android thing. So what would I need to purchase in order to stream football/ movies etc? What would be the best box? Is this different to the likes of the fire stick or is that the same? Apologies as I know this is pretty basic.
(Edit - I see a few recommendations earlier in the thread!!)
Is this good value?

I have a firestick and a box. I prefer the firestick.
Firesticks were £25 there last week. Great value.
Stick Kodi on it yourself if you have a laptop and half an hour and know your way round a computer.
Look on Page 8 there for a guide on how to do it.
It'll save you £30 or 40 quid.

Was that Black Friday? not specifically a firestick but I saw on another forum someone saying that they had received a refund for some item as Amazon had over committed on the day and hadn't stock to fulfil the orders. The person was willing to wait to get the item at the reduced price when it was back in stock but Amazon weren't playing ball.

On the Firestick there is a way that you can associate a double click of the home button to start up Kodi. That's the way I have it set up.
These are my instructions on how I did it (but I see it involves Firestarter):
On Firestick
- Settings
Applications
Manage Installed Applications
Scroll down to Firestarter
Launch Application
Updates – Update to latest version
(Still in Firestarter)
Settings – Startup Application – click and choose “No Action”
Home Button Single Click – choose “Fire TV Home”
Home Button Double Click – choose “Kodi”
Double click Home button and Kodi will open
-
Is the android boxes better than the firestick? What is the difference? What kind of quality are the streams from KODI like on the TV? Is Live TV good quality on both?
-
You can buy a decent enough android box for as cheap as €50.
Would you just go and buy one and play around with it.
Its not going to replace your main TV provider imo but they are great for video on demand via showbox and kodi and also for live sports.
-

I tried for a while myself to get it to work had my head fried, ended up just buying one of the wee boxes for 40 quid great job so far.

There's on here for about €25. As LL said, buy one, play around with it. You don't have to be tech savvy.

I'd be careful of the very cheap units. I had a one and it didn't play Kodi that good.
Something around the €50 mark should be fine.
My main one that I use is called a MXIII. You shoud be able find it in eBay for around the €50 mark.

On firestarter you have the option of undating Kodi, which I did from some version 14 to a v16 beta and now its as slow as a wet week. Updated again to the proper version of v16 and its also no better.
Is there any way of regressing on a firestick?

i have the stick up and running and am just getting the hang of it. Ive noticed that a lot of the streams don't work (when I click into them they start searching then just stop) when this has happened me quite a few times Kodi actually freezes and wont let me do anything, I have to power of and on. I cleared the data and reinstalled the beast but it still happens. Any ideas?

Hang in there, it does come back, but takes a few minutes, hence the reason I want to regress to an older version.
I thought the same thing was happening when I upgraded Kodi to v16

Just delete it altogether and search for an earlier version of Kodi on google?
There are plenty about if you google.

I had the Beast installed but felt the FireStick was getting sluggish and unresponsive. After a bit of googling I found a forum where the consensus was that although those Custom Builds are pretty to look at they make Kodi run slowly and have far to many add-ons on them. Ultimately most of those custom builds are built on the main add-ons anyway, Genesis/Phoenix/SportsDevil/UkTurk/Robocop/VDubt25 so I did a fresh install of Kodi and installed 10 or so add-ons and its much better since..
The firestick is a small device with limited processing power so less is probably more in terms of what you put on it.... I also run Kodi on a laptop and still have The Beast on it and it works the best.
-
Does anyone know if you can add the ZEM TV addon into the beast build?
I have the addon installed but it won't play with the beast build. I know its working as I have it on my PC (no beast build) and it works fine there.
Any help would be appreciated

I agree with that Boycey, but where The Beast wins out is that it saves you having to manually key in the Repositories and then manually adding the add-ons. The Beast is just super convenient.

Anyone else struggling with Genesis links recently?

I wonder is it an IP geoblock thing or perhaps has Kodi / Genesis become so popular that it's causing the problems. Any users have any insights?

I'm having serious problems getting anything to work. Either no streams or nothing happens when I hit the select button ie bt sport Europe won't come on at all. I'm about to f**k it out the window. Piece of shit.

I told you the other day what was wrong with it... There is now a Beast light I think it you want to stay with custom builds...
The TV channels are notoriously unreliable even at the best of times.
My experience of Kodi in general is that its top notch for tv shows, films and Premier League footy and a bit hit and miss for anything else. Its certainly not a viable alternative to SKY if that's what you want.
-
That's all I want it for. Movies tv shows and football but i can't get any to work. It keeps freezing and kicking me out to the main amazon menu. How to I get the beast light. I know I'm a pain in the hole but I'm thick.

I'm far from an expert myself but happy to relay my own experiences with it. I also kept getting tossed back to main Amazon menu when I was on The Beast I took it that the FireStick was struggling to cope cause like I said it has limited processing power. I just reverted to plain old Kodi and the add-ons I listed on the previous page and its working fine for me. I still have The Beast on a Laptop and it works fine too...
This guy here https://seo-michael.co.uk/the-beast-build-for-kodi/ is always fairly good for all things Kodi. If you read down he says If this build is a bit heavy for your device then try out the Nemesis build which is more lightweight but has everything you need.
I've never tried it but if you want to stay with Custom Builds I'd try that Nemesis Build. You can do a fresh start from within The Beast. I'd do that and then download Nemesis and follow the same steps you did when originally installing The Beast.
Whats the worst that can happen :-)
-
I installed the beast lite. Its The same. I then installed nemesis and it was just a blank screen. :'( :'( :'( :'(

Open the back door and fire it as far away as you can ;D
Only other thing else I can suggest to you is go back a stage further and uninstall Kodi and reinstall it and before you try The Beast try Genesis or Phoenix as a standalone add on and see does it work. If they still don't work then I'd say ur Stick is fuckd..
On the bright side you will be an expert in this soon

Honest to f**k, Ive spent the last 3 nights trying to set this up. Ive uninstalled Kodi 3 times and reinstalled it, Ive unistalled the beast 4 times (does the beast lite look identical to the beast). Maybe I'm expecting too much from it.
When I go into a movie and click on the link and it says no stream im fine with that, its when you click on one and it starts searching and gets too about 70% then just disappears off the screen, not giving you any further info as to whats happening.

Came across something called "Ares Wizard" - give it a search to see some videos or reviews.
Have tested it out and seems like a good idea - Basically you install it like you would the Beast or any other build - but it isn't an actual build itself. Once installed, it gives you the options to install various different builds with the click of a button (no entering addressed) which it has rated by downloads etc.
It also has a built in maintenance option, which runs automatically when you open Kodi each time and gives you a prompt whether you need to clear cache or purge packages.
I am trying out the "SpinzTv premium lite" build at the moment I think it's called and it looks a decent alternative to the beast.
You can also choose to add individual addons instead of a build as such, if you want to keep the memory down.
The good thing is, that within the maintenance option, you can then force a "fresh start" which wipes Kodi of everything except the "Ares Wizard" itself - which allows you to try out a different build without having to manually enter new repos or addresses.

20megs is loads, 1gb of data probably means you have 2 versions of The Beast installed on it as I think it's roughly half a gig in size.. It's different memory than is used for processing anyway.. Did you try one standalone add-on?
Laoislad my stick worked for ages before it displayed the symptoms Up The Middle is describing but a Google search makes me think it's a definite issue..

Genesis is working for me, just checked.
Mine is too, but if he has stopped supporting it it'll grind to a halt over time...
-
Ignoring the build, are Genesis streams working for anyone?
No matter what I try to play the last few days I get "No streams available"

Could you give me an example of a working one so I can check on mine. I couldn't even get Santa Claus: The Movie working today on Genesis (or SALTS for that matter).

I only have the few add-ons currently installed so I can't vouch for what's working Genesis has been servicing all my tv/film needs. Showbox and Icefilms??? sp. are two I used in the past..

Lads, I can't stress enough. Try the Black Box Build. I posted about it a couple of pages back.
Never have a problem!
Downloaded it over the weekend. Great job, has sorted all my issues.
-
Happy days!
Search for the Black Box facebook group. Some good hints etc. to keep everything cleaned up.
-
What add-ons are included in the Black Box bulild?
-
What sort of speeds are you working off for these Android boxes?
I have 6-8 mbps, I'm considering getting one
-

My speed would be fairly similar delmonte and I've zero trouble casting from movie HD and Showbox to my chromecast running 1080 movies / shows. Shouldn't be an issue with the box slotting directly in
-
What add-ons are included in the Black Box bulild?
All the main ones Joe.
Genesis, Phoenix, Sports Devil, Robocop, UK Turks, etc etc.
It just seems to be a cleaner build which takes up less space.
There's an adult version, kids version, Christmas version etc.
-
Cheers all.
I removed The Beast this morning and installed BlackBox and I have to say that I'm hugely impressed. I find that there are more working links to movies and the sports channels than there were with The Beast on my Firestick.
As The Beast had already installed Ares Wizard it meant that it was really easy to remove The Beast and install BlackBox from within Ares.
-
I see the Beast has actually released a slimmed down version which he has aimed at the likes of the firestick - roughly 155MB, v1.5

I did something very similar to yourself and must say that is a great call by the Gs man with regard to the black box setup, very hard to find fault
-
I put that black box build on the firestick last night just to try it out.
I played an episode of the big bang theory and it must have taken 5 minutes to find a source for me to play,on the beast build it was almost instant.

was it amazon firestick build that you used LL ?
-
No just the normal build.
-
I asked because i noticed on the install wizard for blackbox that i used, it had maybe about 7 different builds that i could choose between. mine was windows build but i did notice a build specific for amazon firetv
-
Completely useless at this stuff but installed kodi 15.2 alright.
How to install the beast now? Is there a fools guide?
-
Anyone have the source they used for blackbox?
-
Came across something called "Ares Wizard" - give it a search to see some videos or reviews.
Have tested it out and seems like a good idea - Basically you install it like you would the Beast or any other build - but it isn't an actual build itself. Once installed, it gives you the options to install various different builds with the click of a button (no entering addressed) which it has rated by downloads etc.
It also has a built in maintenance option, which runs automatically when you open Kodi each time and gives you a prompt whether you need to clear cache or purge packages.
I am trying out the "SpinzTv premium lite" build at the moment I think it's called and it looks a decent alternative to the beast.
You can also choose to add individual addons instead of a build as such, if you want to keep the memory down.
The good thing is, that within the maintenance option, you can then force a "fresh start" which wipes Kodi of everything except the "Ares Wizard" itself - which allows you to try out a different build without having to manually enter new repos or addresses.
Best bit of advice I've seen in this thread, try it Norf Tyrone.

Just a note, a few people have been having issues with The Beast and BlackBox has been put up as a viable alternative

What the thoughts on one of these yokes https://www.gumtree.com/p/other-tv-dvd-cameras/amazon-firestick-kodi-fire-stick-kodi-/1147192690 ?
Do can you watch the tv series on them?

Well a Firestick costs £35, so you are paying the other £20 for somebody to do something that you could do yourself in around about an hour. So i guess it depends on how you value your time or whether you like learning stuff like that yourself.
-
time is highly valued. would it work with that Netflix? or game of thrones channel?
-
Having both a firestick and an Android box I don't see any real reason to get a firestick over the android box.
It's easier load apps and install stuff like kodi on the Android box.
I got the firestick because it was cheap on black Friday and don't get me wrong it works well but the android box I have works just as well but is far more user friendly imo.
-
Have you a link for an android box?
Can you get the tv series on them?
-

There's loads out there. Mine is called a MXIII.
You'll find it on eBay, I think there is a newer version now though.
Yes you can watch all the TV series on them via Showbox and Kodi plus all the sports.
I'm watching Leicester v Man City now on mine in full HD.

Looks like a great job. Does it require much setting up? My boardband is around 2mbs would this be enough?
-

Pretty easy set up.
I really don't know if your broadband is enough, mine is 200mbps wired so is plenty obviously!
-
Looks like a great job. Does it require much setting up? My boardband is around 2mbs would this be enough?
I've approx 1.6Mbs and the fire stick is fine for SD films, tv shows etc, etc, live football can be a bit hit or miss. HD films buffet though

Is the 1.6mps what's coming into your house or what's over WiFi?
I have 200mbps coming into house but it drops to around 70mbps over WiFi so your 1.6mbps probably drops before it hits the firestick over WiFi.
Just asking because if you had an Android box that you plugged straight into your modem then you might have enough for HD shows or live sport.
Same for pullhard, doesn't Netflix only need 2mbps or something to play so I'm sure it should be enough for the likes of showbox or kodi.
-
Got a box of Amazon pre Christmas and just sorting it out now, money well spent indeed. I use the Kodi add ons and the football streams and film are fantastic
-
Which box did you get?
Loads of them

Set the Black Box up on my Fire TV last night and all working well. Paid for a 1 month subscription to try out sports nation as had heard mixed reviews. Working perfectly in HD. However, when I turned on this morning, Kodi started up fresh - no sign of the Black Box installation, couldn't see any of the add ons. It was still installed as I could see it in the settings but I couldn't launch it at all. Any ideas?

First weekend over and done with and very happy with it. Sports Mania looks great. I've 300mbps fibre so no issue streaming HD. It was absolutely perfect HD for the NFL last night.
What does everyone use for streaming live "regular" tv? Have gone through a good few of them already and while fine, haven't come across anything "great" just yet.

are you not depending more on the kit which is facilitating the stream and what it's capacity is more so on what your own broadband speed is?
-
What's the best set up to do on a Amazon stick. I have a pre-loaded one but it's buffering like mad. Someone mentioned a Black box lite? Will it make much difference if I change the spec?
-
Well, some people were posting earlier about having 1-2 MB which obvs would have difficulties with HD streaming. I'm running it on the new Fire TV, so I shouldn't have any hardware issues.

its about twice the price :-\

I was thinking more of the hardware hosting the stream , its capacity and the like as, opposed to your own kit Gallsman. Having fast broadband and good kit at home obviously helps
-
Ah, I getcha. Of course, anything like this with dodgy streams is entirely dependent on the broadcaster and it's not as if can take them to Ofcom if any issues!
I have the Fire TV for the wired connection and the 4k processing. Have the Fire stick for travelling/occasionally moving room if a TV channel conflict.

That page seems to suggest that their servers are struggling to cope with the demand, if you scroll down to last couple of posts which were yesterday it says early in the morning is the best time to try...
This is the inherent trouble with Kodi nothing stays the same and what was good advice a couple of weeks ago now mightn't work
-
Thanks Boycey. I'll try it late tonight/ early tomorrow to see the craic.
Does anyone know if I delete Kodi will Ares go too? If I can't get it up and going I'll do that and reinstall from scratch to see if that works.
-
A new ares 2.2 came out overnight which accordinh to the forums appears to gave worked. I can get it to go but that's due to issues particular to me. However I did get The Black Box running so will continue to futter about. Thanks for the help.

I got the black box onto my fire stick no bother. Make sure you install the black box build rather then the fire build.

At a glance bar the sport I'd say what you have is the more or less the same as blackbox. The TV guide looks very similar.

There is about 5 different installs when you go to install it after you've added the addon, latest, previous, custom and a couple of others, can you mind which one? I ran the latest. Good man

Yep, always the latest build.

Bought the firestick at the weekend there. Friend loaded kodi with the beast 1.4.1 onto it, I've now updated this to beast 1.5.
Premier League pass was very good last night for the soccer and I've used Genesis for a few TV shows. TNPB seems to have a nice set up for films but I haven't played around with it too much.
Not bad for £35.

Do you all just run The black box on an Amazon Fire stick or is there any advantage to getting on of the android boxes?
I just got my broadband speed sorted out, so gonna take the jump into Kodi
-
Wired connections are normally better. i.e. cable straight from your box to your router. You can't do that with a firestick.
However, I still use a firestick and it does the job on a good broadband speed. 30 mbps I'm getting.

im not getting anywhere near that, im getting something like6.5mb now (it wasn't working at all before)
Is that going to be good enough to stream stuff on Kodi?
-
They say anything over 6 mbps should be enough for streaming, however, if you're on a Firestick you'll inevitably lose some of that over your Wi-Fi. So I'd recommend a box in this case.
It might be good enough to stream films etc but live sports may buffer on the speed you're getting.
But don't quote me on it! :-)

Why did you wipe the stick? Check their Facebook or twitter page if they have one, should have the latest URL for the repo.
-
Don't tell me this has been taken down! I just ordered a Fire stick at the weekend :-\
-
As of yesterday, The Black Box is no more apparently. Think the guy that developed it was getting some stick from Sky etc.
But it's being replaced by something called Paradox which is very similar.
A quick youtube search should throw up the instructions on how to download.
Or search for "The Black Box Forum" on google and sign up.

FYI,
The bluetooth remote for my firestick ceased to work the other day, changed batteries and all that to no avail.
Turns out this is a common enough problem where the remote loses its bluetooth pairing with the firestick itself and the way to get it back is to hold in the home button for 10 to 15 seconds or so and when successful a message will tell you that a new blue tooth device has been paired.

The fire box has hdmi which links to the TV and an empty USB slot.
Can you not at up the surround sound to the TV and then the HDMI output will take care of anything playing from Amazon?
I have tv , sky box , surround sound system and Amazon Fire tv.
I have the surround sound going to TV and works ok on HDMI 1
My Amazon fire works off HDMI 2 and when I have it on, I am still getting the TV sound.
I gave to turn off the surround sound and turn up the TV to hear the Amazon Fire shows.
-
Interesting, maybe TV output sound is configured differently for the different HDMI ports? Have you tried checking the sound setting on HDMI2 and made sure the output is to the external system rather than the TV speaker?
-
Thanks gallsman. Where do check the sound settings for HDMI 2?
-
The sound menu on the TV remote. Generally menu followed by either settings then sound, or direct to sound etc.
How is the sound system connected up to TV? Optical cable?
-
What's the best build to install at the moment?
I tried paradox but it doesn't seek to be working that well
-
Can't find a decent stream for the game at all
Usual sports devil links not working

The TV has 2 HDMIs. One going to Sky box and one going to Amazon TV.
The sound system has red and white plugs going from it to sky box. I have nothing else coming from sound system apart from the speaker wires.
There is also a scart lead going from tv to sky box.
There is an empty HDMI & optical in at back of sound system but neither tv or Amazon has an optical in so nowhere to plug it in from Amazon.

I could be wrong on this, I believe that the sound from the Firestick has to go from the TV to the surround sound system. You might need an optical cable to do this.

Can you not plug the sound system up to TV? Your current setup separates the audio and video from the sky box. The HDMI came is capable of carrying both. HDMI cable from Sky box to HDMI 1 and from Fire TV HDMI 2. Surround sound cables to TV audio output ports (optical if you have it). Then on TV select audio output to external speaker rather then TV's inbuilt speaker.
Wtf do you have a scart cable plugged in for?

I'm pretty certain it's not. I'm watching the Liverpool match on Kodi at the minute on a Fire TV. HDMI from Fire TV to TV. Optical cable from TV to external speakers.

Where you watching it? I couldn't find a decent link on Kodi at all

You probably have your sky box set up to output to an external speaker, which now no longer exists. Check the audio settings on the Sky Box.
How old is TV? Would be very surprised if it's in any way modern and doesn't have optical audio output. You familiar with what the connection looks like? Tiny wee hole about the size of a large pin head.

Its a great app. I like my American sports too and it never lets me down. Kids watch the soccer and it has all the enlgish and most of the Spanish and Italian stuff. There are channels up there that I'll probably never use as I won't have time. not into boxing myself but it is well covered. Have it running through kodi on a MXiii and also get it it on the move on an android app. 26stg for 6 months - a steal !

Thanks for your help.
TV about 10 years old. Hasn't got the optical. However, I removed the red and white cables from sky box and inserted them into tv in audio out port. And hey presto I am getting both the fire TVs and my sky through the surround sound. So alls well that ends well!!

Anyone know anything about using VPN on Kodi? Trying to use the UK Turks add on and it seems to have all the UK channels in HD like I want, but a lot of them are geo blocked.

Is that Sports Mania via Kodi?
Do tell us more Gallsman.....
I've noticed the football streams aren't as good as they were a few months ago, so I was wondering whether a subscription based way to view would provide better quality streams.
-
You've basically answered it yourself! Sports mania add on, can get it from most of the large repos or builds. I'm currently paying £26 for six months and it's fantastic. BT, Sky Sports, BeIN, NFL, NBA etc

Last week I watched Armagh game on Woody add on. (Premier Sports)
Now I see Woody has disappeared.
Anybody know what the craic is here. Will it be back?

Has anyone directly loaded Kodi to a smart TV or is this even possible?

Someone asked previously about a TV running Android TV. If you have an Android TV (Sony, Samsung, LG and some others all offer them I think), it should be as simple a matter as downloading from the play store.
For a regular TV, I doubt it's possible, certainly not with an official build. There would simply be too many different platforms to try and support.

Will have a look tonight. Is premier sports a TV provider or a KODI add-on?

By the way, I've signed up to a DNS/VPN provider called SmartDNS that allows access to BBC iPlayer, ITV layer, All 4 etc. With the iPlayer, you can steam BBC 1-4 live in HD. Also gives access to US Netflix, Amazon Prime US (or whatever region you'd prefer). I'm about a week into a two week free trial and it's been great.
I've read about Netflix closing holes to stop people accessing it through VPN, so I'm not sure how it'll work in the future.

Website says they have it in HD so should be OK.

Am I to understand that the only live English football that can be seen on it is the football that is live on either Sky or BT at the same time?

No. American channels like fox have games and premier league pass has pretty much every one I think.

I was looking at that sports mania tonight with the intention of signing up for a month to see how good it is.
The only options I can is for a 1 day to 1 year news packs.
Are the sports channels in these packs?

About to take the plung here I think !
Are all the sports in 1080 HD?
Would the picture be same quality as you would see on Sky HD or BT sports HD?
-
Ok took the plunge. Went for 3 months as it wasn't much dearer than 1 month and will bring me nearly to end of the season.
Watching PSG Chelsea now in perfect HD,it's about 2 mins behind TV3 though where the match is also being shown.
-
Jesus Christ lads, just try it out for the sake of 12 quid for a month. Sometimes you will get proper HD quality, sometimes it's 720p though, or what RTE would call HD. Noticeably "more HD" than your usual streams off SportsDevil or something.
On all the major channels - BT, Fox, Sky, BeIn etc you will generally find a link for a HD stream, a backup HD stream and an SD stream.

You beat me to it, was posted in response to Gaffer asking more questions! Like all streams it'll occasionally have a few bad moments but it really is a no brainer with the price.

Have just got Firestick with Kodi added on.
On first quick tests very slow/buffering on sports links like Sky & Bt.
What broadband package do u need in North for this to work best?

I have BT internet infinity and it works a treat with it although sometimes the links just aren't as good and nothing to do with net speed
-
It's been happening the last five days or so. Works fine all day, come match time though, all HD channels are all over the place. Dunno if they've got me on some shite overloaded server.
-
Anyone heard of Smoothstreams.tv.?
It's a paid subscription but you can only join by 'invite' only. Similar price to sports mania.
They issue invites maybe twice a year and people are crying out for them.
The pictures are top class with no buffering.

Any used it yet? any recommendations on a new build/repo?

Any addon with an unblocked version of the RTE player on it?
-
i've been using UK turks to watch RTE FL/Mayo
-
Thinking of investing & I really am clueless in this area.
Can u get all the dodgy links (for want of a better word), on an Amazon Firestick? I mean getting free sports etc.. or are they all blocked? I think i read it comes with KODI built in.
Any recommendations for a stick or box?
-
You can get all on a firestick. Make sure you have unlimited broadband.
Basic firestick sold out in Argos branches when I went to get one on Monday. Bought the one with voice activation at 10 quid dearer. You can buy the firebox at 80 quid. Bigger processer I think.
You can get the sports and films you want.
Best to invest in a sports add on like sports mania.
Cost 26 quid for 6 months and you can get sky sports Setanta and BT sports in the one 'add on' rather than searching through different 'add ons' for free streaming of events. Also better chance of little buffering as well.
Then you need to get someone to install 'Kodi' on it for you or check YouTube for tutorials.
-
Imo the firestick isnt at all user friendly compared to an Android TV box.
It's so much easier install apps and use kodi on the Android tv. Also you can get far more powerful android boxes for not much more money than a firestick.
-
i've been using UK turks to watch RTE FL/Mayo
Live only though, not the player?
FL/Mayo, if looking to use the player a VPN or DNS host probably your best option.

Thanks lads, looking to get the Player working without the geoblock on it. RTE have really cracked down on VPNs lately, I can't find one that works on RTE. Castaway addon has RTE on it also. Modbro can be sideloaded onto the Firestick as well it had a ton of live channels.
Whats the advantage of the bigger Android box?
-
That Exodus add on is excellent.

I've been trying to download a build to my firestick and ever time i put in the http: etc I get a message saying "couldn't retrieve directory information. This could be due to network not being connected." I know I have a good signal and speed. So anyone know a cure?

It was Dec right, but not sure of date. Wats the best build to install now? Would you have a link or where would I find it?

I've given up using builds and just take add-ons from superrepo.

No worries. I've managed to download exodus which is top class. But I've been trying to download a lives sports one. Tried to download sportsmania but no joy. Got the same message as above!!

Sky Sports Sportsmania stream for Liverpool game was rubbish for me today. Found another stream that was Bein Sports and it was top notch.

Put Exodus on the fire stick last night. Great job. Unlike Genesis the 1st stream I clicked on worked perfectly.

I've been using Exodus recently and it's an excellent addon.
Unfortunately the favourites and library feature which Genesis had has been removed.
I've set up a Trakt account and have just started using this now in Exodus.
The benefit for me is that if I do a Kodi rebuild the favourites are stored in Trakt so I won't lose them.
Has anyone else been using Trakt?
-
I need to start using Trakt, sounds like the solution for me.
I just stick to the Dad Life builds atm, does the job for me - watching boxsets & the odd sporting event. Although by looking at reviews there are some better builds out there now.
I have trouble using the iVue TV epg, none of the default streams ever work. I can go via the addons and get the live stream I want, but it'd be so much better if it always worked via the EPG

I do only be here an odd time now and occasionally I see the posts about Android Boxes. I have imported a fair few of these, some good, some bad. My main business was CCTV and my main use for them was for people to fit them to their bedroom telly and using an app they could watch their CCTV or the cow calving. For what it's worth, here are a few of the lessons I have learned over the years:
Some of these boxes are copies of "other" boxes that come in plastic housings with little or no heat sinks on the circuit and are a potential fire risk, rule 1 get one that is CE Approved, RoHS compliant and ultimately - safe.
In my opinion, again for what it is worth, the main pitfalls are that the developers of the addons fall out with each other from time to time and what is a good add-on today is bad tomorrow. To avoid this, buy a box from a company that provide access to their own server for continuous updates.
Boxes on AliBaba claiming to be X manufacturer are plastic duds if you can buy them for less than the Trade supply cost from the manufacturer - or - they are being sold cheaply because the importer has had the supplier lower the cost of the shipping invoice to avoid Vat and Duty and when he is in jail along with someone for changing the rate of duty on onions to garlic you will be left with a useless product.
Low bandwidth. CCTV, Android boxes etc have been for a large part using MPEG4 decoding but this was then changed to H265 just around now. H265 uses 60% less disc space than H264 and for obvious reasons is much faster. Zoomtak are completely out of K5 boxes at the moment because they are clearing out all their H264 stock and will now release 4K boxes with H265 encoding - their T8 PLUS product already has it.
As the version of Kodi changes, next one being V16, they change their software and you simply clear your cache and data, log on to their server using the tool on the box and upgrade to the latest version with all the compatible add-on's and you are away in a hack.
To buy from Zoomtak you need to bring in at least 5 boxes per order, you can ask for a small amount of sample product but 5 people together paying DHL for 1 box each is going to cost you €200 for delivery and €250 for boxes and €10 each for customs clearance charge whereas you could get 5 boxes for €250-260 all inclusive if you group together.
Zoomtak also have Teamviewer installed so they will log in and help you if required. I have no interest in Zoomtak, I am merely saying that from my experience of importing over 200 boxes that I found them to be the best, the main reason being that if you want a complete upgrade you simply log onto their server, click on update and go to the pub. When you come back you can turn on most films in full 1080P streaming in H265 - even if you are too pissed to see them.

I have been using android boxes for quite a while now and generally use it to watch sports (GAA, Soccer, Golf), TV shows and movies.
Below are the recommended addons i would use which are great quality
Sports:
Operation Robocop. This will allow you to have match selection on all premier league games live. These will all be played in HD and are great quality. Last night was the first night it did not work for me. Add on tutorial below:

NJM Soccer - Usually watch GAA through this. Great for Setanta Sports and Premier Sports. Watched the Frampton V Quigg fight on this over the weekend in full HD. Should have McGregor on this weekend. Add on tutorial below:
https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-njm-soccer-kodi-xbmc/ (https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-njm-soccer-kodi-xbmc/)

I'm still hanging onto my blackbox skin, kinda like it, but is there any way of adding in these other addons?

Not using the blackbox skin unfortunately. The skins make Kodi run a bit slower also. Better off clearing your box and just using the addons that work as this frees up more space allowing kodi to work better

Aye, but its not as user friendly for the less tech savvy in the house!!

Yes. You can install other add ons, regardless of the build you have.
The process is the same as the steps set out in those SEOMichael links, ie you define the source address. You then install from zip file etc.
The main issue is that Black Box skin (and other builds) change your menu structure so it can be difficult to find the "System" option etc.
All I can say is to keep playing around in the "Maintenance" or "Add Ons" section and you should find a way of adding individual add ons.

I have been using android boxes for quite a while now and generally use it to watch sports (GAA, Soccer, Golf), TV shows and movies.
Below are the recommended addons i would use which are great quality
Sports:
Operation Robocop. This will allow you to have match selection on all premier league games live. These will all be played in HD and are great quality. Last night was the first night it did not work for me. Add on tutorial below:

Yes I have. I thought maybe there was a specific one just for kids as it would be handier for the wife and children to navigate.
-
OK fair enough. Exodus and Phoenix are def the safest if you're letting your kids navigate. I've installed a few other similar repos but there's some seriously dodgy stuff on Kodi. On the side scrolling menu to the left you can set parental type controls i.e. no adult movies, but be warned, it's not foolproof. If you're unsure what's in there, don't let the kids navigate as they will work it out in the blink of an eye!! ;). Less is more in that case, stick to Phoenix and Exodus.

you will need to turn off your smart set up if you are with BT as this will not allow a lot of add-ons to work.
Any other internet provider you usually need to disable the internet security

Anyone any ideas?

I find the open subtitles is a bit of hard work at times. For subtitles, use local cast to cast and select the subtitles bit. I've done it in the past without any bother, I'm not in a position to test now and post better instructions. Give it a rattle
-
Cheers Jog, I'll give it a blast. I don't want subs for the whole movie just the none english bits
-
It's dependent on the file. A lot of torrented files don't have the hard-coded subs for non English speaking parts that you'd see in the cinema. If the file's like that, a 3rd party sub provider is the only option.
-
Anyone ever sign up to any of the paid TV subs? eg IPTV stalker, Dexter TV or channelUp? worth it or not?

A few months ago i was running The Beast build 1.4 on my firestick. I have long since updated this and i dont believe that particular version of the build is still available. Anyway, there was a section on it titled UFC and it basically had streams listed for more or less all of the past UFC events over the last number of years. It's not on any of the new builds i have used. Has anyone any idea what addon that would have been?

I've had about enough of Sky after hearing today of another £5 a month or thereabouts increase. Does anyone know if I can transfer recordings on a Sky box to some other medium.

First of all, despite various builds looking nice, don't install them unless you are happy to start from scratch every time it develops problems.
Secondly there are tons of new repositories all the time - you just need the right to find them. To that end the 5 will get you everything that's popular or mainstream. Phoenix. SALTS, Navi-x, Vdubt, Exodus (Genesis is no more btw) should give you as much as you need. Navi -X I find particularly good as it shows you what's the most popular over the past 24 hrs / week, which by large means the links are the best and most stable and you can find working links to the newest releases quickly.
For tutorials I follow a guy called Raybans and Fedora on YouTube who is easy to understand and directs you to most up to date stuff. I find u can't go wrong with him and he shows you how to filter out stuff that's no suitable for kids.

What build do you have on it? I found mine kept crashing with The Beast, but as soon as I put separate apps on it like Exodus, Castaway, Phoenix, Bulldog it has worked brilliantly. Theres a few links for it on the previous page and is very easy to follow. You can do it yourself rather than pay someone to do it.
-
youtube has a wealth of video's on how to do it. I usually clear data and stick a new build on once a lot of the addons have dropped off. I probably should just put the addons on that i use most but i'm a sucker for a build with all the work done for me.

Thanks for the info.
I remember you tubing it a while ago and thinking this is a bit too complicated for me but I'll try it again tonight and see how i get on.

Lads felt really proud of myself last night and updated to the latest version of Kodi by watching youtube video only to realise that the same problem I have is still there even with new update.
What happens is - I launch kodi app have a look around for something then within a minute the app fails/crashes and takes me back to the fire stick home screen.
Anyone any ideas or links to youtube videos to fix this problem. Thanks

Is it Kodi 16, Jarvis? Usually when i launch it for it's "first run" i leave it for a few mins as it usually applies some updates automatically. It occassionally did get snagged doing these and would crash. I never found it a major problem though so i dont really have a solution unfortunately. Before launching it again, make sure you "force stop" maybe?

Mine started playing up a while back, I had the beast build on it. I tried installing a new build (can't remember which one) but it still kept crashing. So I restored the firestick to factory default (there's an option in the System menu) and then reinstalled Kodi with the Nemesis build. It's now working better than ever
-
My advice is throw out the firestick and get a proper Android TV box or dongle.
The firestick is very user unfriendly for running the likes of Kodi imo.

I've never used the remote that came with the box. Get yourself a wireless mouse - can pick them up for about 15quid or less! Much easier to navigate through kodi I find
I'm currently running the wookie build - grand job!

The Android boxes are no different navigate that your android phone or tablet. Far easier use than the firestick imo.

Anyone got any links to good instructions of how to do this or good addons they use?

Look up Exodus on SEO Michael. If you have Kodi already set up, all you need is your fire tv remote. Follow the step by step instructions exactly. It should take no more than five mins.

I stuck with this mantra for a long long time but finally relented some months back and took out a sub and haven't regretted for one second. Its worth it for the quality of streams and ease of use alone.
Its true that most stuff can be found free but there'll always be that one day where nothing feckin works or you can only watch with Ukrainian commentary or more more likely the add-on you use becomes obsolete..

Says who? Watching all the sports I require in one add on with no buffering on high demand sports eg PPV sports, and no searching about for add ons which are not buffering at that particular time is well worth the £4.50 per month/ 15p per day!!!!

If you want HD quality go for the Openbox. About 70-90 quid on eBay and no more than £10-£15 per year thereafter. PM me if you want a link. Superb.

Anyone know of a fix?

Tried clearing the cache?

Tried clearing the cache?
I've cleared the Kodi application cache any number of times - it's only about 60mb and it's on a new Fire TV so there should be more than enough memory for it. Have been trying to figure out about whether the add-on had its own cache?
I've only a few add-ons installed and its holding approx 1GB in data. I've a Fire sick with the same applications holding about 20mb in data.

purge packages? i know the likes of exodus will save all the wee thumbnails as they appear so it does eventually fill up.

I have to set up an android box for someone this evening. I don't usually put builds on them myself as I think they slow the whole thing down, this person however won't be able to navigate around without a build on it so what are people using at the minute? It changes so often I don't want to put something on for them that is now nearly obsolete.

For most stable builds and best repositories I'd recommend Raybans and Fedora on YouTube. Easy to follow and only recommends the best of what's out there.

I still use the beast build at the minute and i dont really have any major complaints. He has loaded a few paid sub addons to the build in the hope you will join i suppose but apart from that, everything you need is there in a decent layout.

I used Sportsmania for the second half of last season and had very few issues with it,gonna sign up again in next few weeks with the Premier League starting up again
EDIT: Just signed up now actually to watch the PGA.
I notice they have Android app now,maybe they always had it but I use to access it through Kodi.
Just tested the app on my phone and it's working perfect. Easier than navigating through Kodi imo.

Sign up soon there'll be a huge increase in new members as the season approaches and sometimes they close it to new members for a time. There were mumbling last season they'd let too many on and the quality wasn't as good but I think I'd only ever problems once..
I think you can even access it through a browser now

what hardware would you recommend ? there seems to be loads of options !!

Where are you most likely to be able to see a recording of Frampton's fight first thing Sunday morning (our time)?
I have a SportsMania sub, but I don't think I've ever been able to watch a recording of an event within a few hours on it.
-
I have watched fights before from the sportsondemand section on SportsMania but not sure how quick they get put up after the event. Twitter will usually guide you to a link quick enough in the morning if its not there.

Watched fight on the new ultimatemania IOS app. Brilliant picture.
Go to App Store and search for 'Matrix Tv Browser. Inser username and password and bobs your uncle. Also available for Android!!

Yep, the Frampton fight and the UFC picture quality was perfect. HD streams on it are generally 720p rather than 1080 but that's only minor quibble. Not a hint of an interruption in the stream all evening either.

heading into the new football season and i'm contemplating signing up for on eof the paid IPTV services for sports only. There seems to be a right bit of choice though e.g. future streams, sportsmania, easy streams, dexter etc. Which is best (and of course cheapest ;) )

sunscribed to overlordsTV last night as they were doing a deal of 12.50 for 3 months sports. Thought it worth a punt. Got it loaded on and have to say i was very impressed. HD and no buffering. I'd say last night would have been low volume so bigger tests still to come.

do you have an android phone? if so download the kodi app to it and then download an app called apps2fire. use this to sync your phone to the firestick using the IP address and you can then send the kodi app to the stick.
Also works for sending the likes of Mobdro to the stick.

Thanks for the replies.

I know I started this thread a long time ago but never got a box. Was wondering what is the best box to get for the football season starting. Does sky eir and BT sport. I'm gonna get one this time just looking for a good one. I live in South dublin and have decent wifi. All ideas welcome.

I've an MXIII for about a year now and its been fine. Good value and has a physical ethernet port (much more reliable than WiFi). Use if for Netflix and sportsmania. Can't sing the praises of sportsmania enough. More sports channels that you can dream of for about 30 euro per 6 months. Always the danger that it will get shut down but I've had it for over a year now and its still going strong. Before that I used all the free stuff but once you move to this you'll never go back. It always works - that's what you're paying for

Either through Kodi as an add-on or by downloading the sportsmania Android app (not in the store). It's not complicated, just f**king google it.

Is there any difference in quality for Sportsmania between running it through Kodi (as I tend to do) or just watching it directly through a browser window on your laptop?

I found it worked better in KODI than in a browser.

Anyone else have bother with Sportsmania today? Mine buffered on any of the hd channels ended up watching a poor sd link that took me back to bad old days of searching for links.

Yes. They are saying on FB to avoid the 3pm section until they have it sorted. I am watching the Arsenal game on Astro

Not on today but had problems a few weeks back, I read on a forum elsewhere that blamed early season overload as they let on too many newbies but it usually settles down.

Lads, ye've probably already answered this, so don't go mental. I'm a Sky subscriber, with multi room, Sky Go etc. I find it brilliant, but I don't like the fact that multi room is €15 a month. I bought an Android box off of Groupon for the craic. I don't want to do anything too fancy, but I'd like to try and stream TV stations onto a TV in another room, so I'm planning on just putting it on our wi-fi, plugging it into the TV , and letting it off. Will I just be able to download something like Mobdro onto it and work away? Or is it more complicated than that?
I'm completely new to Android boxes and the like, so be gentle!

Yeah Mobdro is a pretty good, simple start to the world of Android boxes before we introduce to you the full power of what you can do :-)
A word of warning though it can be a sometimes frustrating pastime and if its the "Sky" experience you are looking for it won't replicate it. Have you thought of the dodgy box route as per the other thread? I have both going side by side but I'm a bit of a nerd..
-
Not really the 'Sky' experience. I have Sky for that :) I'm not planning on getting rid of Sky at the moment anyway. This is more of a supplement to Sky, and for tellies in other rooms. I'd obviously like to be able to watch some of the Sky Movie/Sport Channels, but the big thing for me is the channels that are not on Sky. American ESPN, NBC, ABC etc showing college football in the States. Things like that.

Anybody up to speed on all the leatest with regard to these sky replacement boxes? My da has a dreambox the past 4 or 5 years, gets every sky channel as well as sky sports box office and boxnation. I haven't checked but wonder if he gets the box office movies etc too?
A friend of mine is offering to set me up with a zgemma box that will give me basically the same as I have mentioned above, it can pause and record too though. He is looking £70 for the box and £20 a year subscription. Thinking of getting it as fed up with the bother when trying to watch a boxing fight really. Are there still Dreamboxes or are the zgemma the new leader? Or are there others that are better?

I've a zgemma and they're miles ahead of the dreamboxes in my opinion. The user interface and EPG can be set up to mimic Sky rather than the basic menu of Dreamboxes. At £70+20 hes giving it to you at cost but I'd imagine there is no hard drive included for the record/pause etc at that price. You can buy a 1TB hard drive though for about £50 or use an even cheaper memory stick but that will limit the amount you can record.

We have sort of merged two topics here
The Android boxes are streaming content from the internet, I'm sure you know this if you have a Sportsmania sub. The zgemma/dreamboxes are satellite receivers working through your dish and only using the internet to get a 'code' to allow the box to work.
What will you gain from having a zgemma? Nothing, if you just want it as AZOffaly does back up the page what you currently have is fine. Its more of a Sky replacement

Boycey you may start doing homers.

Folks I have cloud ibox. Have had it about 2 years. Pay £65 a year for basically every channel under the sun. Have to say I think its brilliant value for money, but wondering if the couple of issues Im having is just something you have to accept or is there away around it? Obviously without getting sky!
1) No HD channels, which is fair enough. However BT sport hd was working up until this September and now is off. Same thing happened last year but it came back after a month. Is it gone for good this time from dream boxes or is it likely to return?
2) All the live sport is perfect bar the very odd time it freezes for 2 secs. However I notice that the big football games on sky sports, generally on a Sunday seem to freeze quite a bit. Never happens with BT sport. I think I know why this is. Its to do with the amount of people switching on and off that are on the dreambox providers server.
3) Never any issue with any Sky box office events or other pay per view events. But I cant seem to get Sky box office movies
-
OK, so my android box arrived and I got it up and going. Kodi Isengaard came preinstalled on it, and I put Mobdro on it as well. I've added the Exodus plug in to Kodi, which looks great for TV and Movie downloads. Is there anything else I absolutely should have on it, particularly in the live TV streaming/EPG areas? Looks good so far!

Phoenix, UK Turks, NJM Soccer. Toonmania very good for the kids as well.

Phoenix is preinstalled, but a lot of the channels don't seem to play? Mobdro seems much more reliable..

I use Phoenix and Turks for documentaires, lot of good sporting docs. Havent used Mobdro.
-
Mobdro is live TV streaming, and there's a few pre-recorded movies and TV series as well, but it looks as if they are just constantly streaming, so you don't actually get to pick the episode you want to watch. It's like old time TV where you turn on the channel and watch what's on. I use it for live TV because basically I know what I want to see and what channel it's on.
In Phoenix the Live TV streams seemed to be less available.
-
Mobdro is just live streaming, most of which come from filmon.tv.
I thought phoenix had died, no?
Exodus and sportsmania are the only two you really need AZ.
-
Cheers gallsman

Try sportsmania out for a month to see if you think it's worth it (although for 56 quid a year or whatever it is, it'd want to be shocking for nobody to think its worth it). Think you're a game pass subscriber so if happy, you could cut that out immediately and it will have "paid" itself back. It'll have all games live as well as red zone and the network.
Another thing that might be worth looking at is paying for a proxy/DNS service that is reliable and won't impact your speed the way something like Hula will. I think I paid 7 dollars for SmartDNS that allows me to route my internet from Spain through the UK to let me use all the TV players like iPlayer, as well as Amazon Prime Video. Will also you get things like US Netflix.
-
What's the quality of stream like on Modbro? It used to be terrible.
Sportsmania is the only way to go imo.
Download Matrix TV and watch it through that. I find it easier than using it through Kodi. Also if your Kodi came pre loaded with a custom build then I would do a full reset and clear them all and just load Exodus and Sportsmania if you want. You have no need for anything else if you want sport and all the latest movies/TV shows. Pre loaded repos or custom builds will only slow it down in my experience.
-
Can you delete repositories rather than reloading the whole thing?
-
Can you delete repositories rather than reloading the whole thing?
Has your Kodi a custom build?
-
No idea. It came preloaded on the box. It's called isengaard I think, from LOTR. There's a pile of add ons there alright, but I added Exodus. There's stuff there I'd like to delete to simplify the interface for others in the house, but I don't know how to 'delete' an add on.
-
Adding back sports mania and exodus takes less than ten minutes combined.
I'd go into the application settings on the android box, delete all app data for kodi. Go to the Play Store and make sure app is up to date, then reinstall those two add one.
Google "seo Michael *name of add on*" and you'll find step by step instructions. Once you get used to it, it's handy.
-
Sportsmania actually have their own build on their repo which is decent. Needs Kodi 16.1 to run though. Within the build there are place holders in the menus for the likes of Exodus, Phoenix, UK Turks - but these aren't installed originally. If you click on say for example "Exodus" within the sportsmania build it will prompt an install and then does it automatically.
As Laoislad says, a lot of the builds clutter up your box / stick and the majority of addons you won't use.
-
Can you actually delete an add on that you've added, or is already pre-installed?
-
I'd stay away from any programs and just go with the direct installation of any add ons needed. Depending on the box you have, data and cache can fill up very quickly.
-
Can you actually delete an add on that you've added, or is already pre-installed?
Yes, if you running stock kodi you can long press on the add on or go into the settings and "add on information" you van uninstall.
However, if it's a particular build, this option might not be included. As I said, I think best option is to clear all kodi data and install fresh from the play store.
-
I would do exactly what gallsman is saying.
-
So basically uninstall ?Kodi completely, reinstall from Play store, and add only the addon repositories and addons I actually want?
-
Have you a link to the item you bought AZ? Might jump on this bandwagon as Sky is getting too expensive and I only really use it for sport. Cheers
-
I just bought a cheap one on Groupon. If it works out (and it looks like it will) I might get a better on (assuming such a thing exists) later on. Take a look on Groupon. It was 57 euro, 'down' from 177.
-
I use the beast build, have for a while. Whats sportsmania? I have started noticing a lot of my links on sportsdevil etc not working anymore too.
-

Custom builds are shite and completely unnecessary. Plenty of chat about sportsmania in this thread. Paid subscription to every sports channel on the planet basically. Everything you want in HD.
That's exactly what I mean AZ. Given you got it on Groupon, its capabilities are probably quite limited, so not risking overloading it is a good idea. If box is running android, sportsmania have an app you could install directly without using kodi.

Sportsmania is a paid subscription add-on with access to all the sports channels you'll ever need around the world.
All 3pm kick-offs, box office, live sports etc etc. You also get movies and boxsets or whatever.
It's cheap too.
Various options.... £12 for a month, £17 for 3 months, £27 for 6 months. £50 for a year or whatever.
It's the only thing I ever use.

I use the beast build, have for a while. Whats sportsmania? I have started noticing a lot of my links on sportsdevil etc not working anymore too.
Custom builds are shite and completely unnecessary. Plenty of chat about sportsmania in this thread. Paid subscription to every sports channel on the planet basically. Everything you want in HD.
That's exactly what I mean AZ. Given you got it on Groupon, its capabilities are probably quite limited, so not risking overloading it is a good idea. If box is running android, sportsmania have an app you could install directly without using kodi.
I have the app for sportsmania and find it great. The one I use is one that was recommend on here by someone. Matrix TV Browser.
I only use Kodi for Exodus.
-
I use the Nvidea Shield, its $200 but worth it, if you're going to go down the Kodi/IPTV route it would be advisable to get a decent box otherwise buffering etc will be an issue. Also I use Smash IPTV (paid subscription) through Perfect Player and get over 900 channels including all the Irish and British channels, it also has an EPG guide. Does Sportsmania have other TV channels besides the sports channels?
-
It does but it pulls them in from 3rd parties like filmon
-
Some of you hoors should just offer a service selling and configuring these boxes and save a lot of the pain.

That's half the problem - people are too scared of the technology will gladly pay 40 or 50 quid to have someone do something they could do themselves in 10 minutes simply by following a YouTube video
-
I've learned with android boxes that you are as well figuring it out yourself because the add-on that is must have now will be obsolete in no time...
Sportsmania being the honourable exception but I suppose that's because its a premium service..
-
Long story but I also have Smoothstreams TV as well as Sportsmania. Anyone else got Smoothstreams? It is as reliable as Mania and about 7 quid per month. It's invite only though. It's closed for most of the year to new subscribers.
-
Cheers lads. Was about to pay for a 1 day sky sports pass. Thought I may as well try out sportsmania for a month. Great stream of the liverpool match - will be subscribing for the year when the month is up.
One thing that did annoy me was that they sent my password in email - good job I use a different password for every site.
-
It's not what you'd call the most professional of setups...
Payment processing is secure as they use Stripe but beyond that, don't expect much. Any issues with them, getting onto them on twitter is usually the best option.
-
They also have a very good Facebook page. It's for their subscribers only and it's very active, mostly with people praising their work but also for people who are having problems with streaming.
-
I've been trying to load sportsmania onto a firestick but when I go to install it keeps saying no dependancies or something. I've tried to do it a few times to no avail. Anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong?
-
I'm coming towards the end of my subscription with Overlord TV which in the main has been decent. The only time it struggled for me was during the GGG v Brook PPV night. How does sports mania handle big events such as this? any issues?

What have you been trying to install? The apk for their dedicated android app or have you been trying to install the Kodi add-on?
-
I was trying to add the Kodi add on but that's just cause I thought that was the way to do it? I'm going to give the paid version a go, so what should I be doing? I tried looking at the SEO Michael boyo online but then kept getting the dependencies error.
If you having already guessed I'm not very IT...... :-[
-
Have you managed to install kodi to begin with?
-
Yeah I have Kodi installed and had a build on it but thought it was fairly slow when watching some of the live sports. Great for movies but seemed to buffer a bit on sports. It actually gradually got worse so I got rid of the build and downloaded exodus for movies and then was going to get the sportsmania subscription up and running. I never really used it for anything else. But struggling to get Sportsmania downloaded.
-
Do you have the sportsmania repo installed? Follow the SEO Michael tips step by step and it'll work.
-
I need some help folks.
I subscribe to SportsMania, and I watch it through Kodi on my Firestick. But having read the recent threads I wanted to try watching Sportsmania through Matrix TV Browser; I think this is the way that was meant when people said "watch SportsMain through its own app".
I downloaded the Matrix TV Browser and sideloaded it onto my Firestick. When I open the Matrix TV Browser app I get a message telling me "Please install Player for streaming video", but it then tries to open a link on the Amazon App store that takes me to MX Player. However, when I try to get MX Player I am told that it is incompatible with my device.
Just to be clear, the pop up message I get upon opening Matrix means that I cannot enter SportsMania's URL.
Am I doing something wrong? How else do you guys watch SportsMania on the Firestick without going through Kodi?
-
Try downloading the MX Player APK and installing it. Google should find it for u.
For what it's worth I know other people have found it different but for me sportsmania works best on Android via Kodi but on IOS MatrixTv is class...
-
When I say watch sports mania through its app, I mean exactly that. They have their own dedicated app for android that you can install on an android device. Theoretically you could install it directly on a Firestick but I doubt it would be compatible.
-
Just buy an android box. I can't see any advantage a firestick has over an android box. There is no faffing about with side loading this that or the other.
It will play anything you can throw at it. Exodus and Sportsmania work excellently on them.
A decent box can be got for €40. I have the mxIII and it does everything I want it to do.

They're ok but you'll get the same box much cheaper if you buy directly from Ebay.
They probably come with a KODI build - I guess that's why they are charging a premium.
You can install your own build for nothing.

Most android boxes are pretty much the same just rebadged with a different logo. A decent one with good specs can be got for about €50. I think mine cost €75 but the same can be got now for less.
Geoff is correct, you are better off getting one without a custom build. It's very easy put the stuff on it yourself. They are all basically the same thing as an android phone software but on your TV.
Just get one with decent specs and it should handle any of the sports or movies sites.
-
And are they reliable - why do they say you don't need to save anything that it can be watched on-demand? Is that not the same thing, or do you save to a cloud account or something?

no nothing needs to be saved or downloaded. it's all streamed from the internet. It's best you have unlimited internet from your providor
-
A point to note Billy as I'm not sure you understand. The android box is simply hardware with the Android operating system on it. What services you use it for and their capabilities (e.g. kodi and its addons) are separate.
In general, you won't need much hard disk storage on it. You want a good bit of ram and if you want to future proof, maybe make sure it's capable of outputting 4k.
-
Is there such a thing as an android set top box that has a freeview tuner in it? I want a box that can record Emmerdale every night for the wife and has Kodi built in? I'm looking at the BT YouView+ box but obviously you can't stick Kodi on it.

There are combo boxes alright but I wouldn't know that much about them. I know the zgemma box I use has a kind of Kodi 'light' installed on it but I've never used it for Kodi. I suspect something like this might do ur job either http://www.satworld.ie/amiko-a3-combo-android-spark-2-satellite-terrestrial-receiver.html

maybe the wrong place
but whats the best apps to use on IPTV player for Films?

The zgemma box can be setup with the IPTV player and within that a load of different apps can be used for tv shows and films. As Boycey mentioned, there is a version of KODI called KODI Direct that can be installed on the zgemma boxes too.

I've been using Exodus for the TV shows and movies and Sports devil for the live sports streaming and both still going strong after quite a while..

Laoislad, is it the MXIII you have? A mate of looking at it and asked me to help set it up for him but it ships with Android 4.4. Are there OTA updates?
-

It is yeah. Don't think there are software updates. I've never looked into it but also I've never been prompted to download one by the box.
I've just bought an MXIV to use on another TV. Gets good reviews also. Was $29 on ali express.

Cheers. I read a report that next Kodi release won't work with 4.4. If needs be I can flash a newer version of android on it for him but he's absolutely hopeless at anything like that himself so was wondering about maintenance.

Yes sorry I'm going to load Kodi onto a FireStick for the younger bro, I'll start with Exodus/SportDevil then see how that treats him. Is SEOMichael still the bes tplace to get instructions for loading Kodi to a FireStick?

YouTube is also handy.
I installed one of the Pulse builds via Ares Wizard and it does the job for me.

Any kind of streaming device isn't right for you if you don't have unlimited usage. A 2hr hd film could be several Gb on its own. Also for that kind of money you will get a box rather than a stick, it's much better..

Boycey is right. I got a zgemma box last month and I now have all channels and there is the IPTV service which is for streaming all the shows and films I want too. Again though, need unlimited internet but for an extra few pound its worth it.

I have found the tv shows to be generally not as good a quality, but the movies have been great. As for buffering etc or bad kinks, I find it pretty good as I get no buffering or bad links. I was always using KODI and Movie HD before via chromecast and the amount of links prohibited by googles software made it a nightmare, it was pure trial and error to get a good link up and running,
-
Yeah they are still perfectly watchable, they would be standard definition quality I guess but I find it strange that the movies are full HD quality and they're not. There is probably a tweak somewhere for it.
-
what app do you generally use to watch the Movies and Boxsets etc
-
what app do you generally use to watch the Movies and Boxsets etc
on the zGemma I generally use yify or watchseries, the beauty of it is that the Iptv player plugin updates almost every time you turn it on so it only contains working apps.
If I'm on my android box it's still good old Exodus..
-

Hard to beat Exodus on Kodi.

Exodus when on KODI. Movie HD is very good too. As Boycey says, the IPTV plugin is brilliant as nearly everything is working as it's constantly updated.

No reason other than handiness... I have zGemma on main tv and an android box on second tv in kitchen (where I'm usually banished to), using the zGemma for movies/boxsets just saves me from having to move android box the odd time I'm allowed into the "good room" :). However I do remember the firestick being prone to buffer/run out of cache this doesn't happen on zgemma which has much more processing power..
I'd say you already have the IPTV plugin installed if you used that wooshbuild we talked about before as it comes as part of set-up. Check your plugins, there is nothing to do other than run it.

So you run it from the green plug ins button each time? Once in IPTV do you need to click on anything to find sources or do you literally just search?

That's how I'm going into it anyhow as I've not come across another way yet..
It'll ask you to update and will restart the box. You definitely will need to update it as you've never used it before, I sometimes ignore the update as I'll have used it fairly recently. Once updated you will be in a directory of working IPTV apps so search and browse to your hearts content. I tend to use yify because I'd heard of it and watchseries because it sounds like a good place to find series :) but as far as I know they all work. Once your in it its pretty much like using kodi.

Got one of these android boxes, set it up with Kodi and Exodus, noticed the audio is very slightly behind the video, doing by head in any ideas of fixes?
Also is there decent plugin or app for sports? tried Mobdro but the links all seem down or its awful quality

When playing a movie click ok, you should see a range of options. Click the the volume/speaker icon and a menu opens, scroll to audio offset, click and choose synchronise..
Another vote for Sportsmania, worth every penny.
-
Sports Mania for me too. I had previously tried Overlord TV for sport but SM is a class above that. I think it was 17 quid for 3 months. Sure their coverage of the PPV boxing was almost worth that alone. I do mostly strugge to get the HD streams to work and almost always have to use SD. Not a big issue.
I used to put builds on the kodi app such as The Beast but now i have no need. All i have on it is Exodus an Sports Mania.

If you have a sportsmania subscriptions can you use it on a firestick and a phone? Or are you restricted to one device
-
You can put it on as many devices as you like, even watch it through a browser. You are limited to using it only on one device at a time though.
Lurganblue - I've no bother with HD maybe ur internet speed not good enough.

Are you using a wired or wireless connection?
No problem with HD on mine with a wired connection. I have 300mbps with Virgin though so it would want to be OK!
-
Out of that 300 what are you actually getting if you do a speed test. I have 100 with Vodafone and tend to get between 57 and 66.
-
I've never actually bothered to check. It's about 90 over wifi.

Yeah i would assume that it's an internet problem for me rather than anything to do with sportsmania. I'm with talktalk, but i havent ran a speed test. HD would tend to play then boot me out after a short while. SD never buffers or boots me out so cant complain.

It had a major outage on St Stephens Day during the footie, I used it a few times since to watch darts with no trouble. Is it down again today??
-
It's back but was down for about 90 mins. Suspect they took on a rake of new subscribers as Christmas presents and don't have the infrastructure to support it.
-
Twitter backs up ur thoughts... not taking anymore new members. It seems some people got away with it today, the earlier you were logged in the less problems u had. Might be worth remembering that as a quick fix in the short term.

I tried to get on at 4pm today and it wouldn't work for me at all.
-
Dunno ;D I never even knew about the group til today, I saw it on another forum and thought it might help a few out. If I have a problem I usually search on twitter if it's a big problem you can be sure others will be tweeting about it too.
They got some abuse today, I wonder what people expect for the money they're paying? It's bound to go tits up at some point?
-
It's the lack of communication. I accept the risks of it going tits up, but for them to put out a tweet effectively saying "we've already tweeted that we're down, leave us alone" is unacceptable. They never explain the problem or give an idea of when they'll be back online.

I'd think this crowd are a garage operation so don't be going expecting any great customer service experience.
-
Like I said I only saw that group today and he does seem to try and explain himself and admits that it's unacceptable that it's down. I'm sure they're only couple of guys operation and hardly have the time to try and explain themselves across multiple social media platforms. Much better that they try and fix it? 1st time in over 12 months of use that I've had any problems with it.
-
I have been a Sportsmania subscriber for most of this year and I have to say they do offer a fantastic service. It hasn't been going well for them the past fortnight or so but they are genuine guys who do their best to correct any issues as quickly as they can on the few occasions they have run into problems. Works out about £4 per month and for that you get all the sports you would want including the PPV. They also have an app as well for both IOS and Android which works brilliantly. Despite the past fortnight I highly recommend them.

https://youtu.be/x4qSJlxhW0c At the end I get to video addons and click into sportsmania, click on install and it takes me back to the video add on.
Someone said on another forum that sportsmania doesn't work on the latest build of kodi (17)
-
When in Video and then Add-ons, is there an option listed 'Get more...'? If so, click it and hopefully Sportsmania will be listed there. Enable it from there.
-
Sportsmania isn't working on 17 yet. If you've installed 17 (Krypton), roll back to 16 (Jarvis).
-
Sounds feasible what Gallsman is saying, I'm way back with Kodi 15.2 or something. Try an older version as suggested
-
Sorted! Installed the 16 version of kodi and got sportsmania no bother. Cheers lads.
-
Im quite new to this but dont most sports channels work through zem anyway why the need to subscribe to sportmania or is the quality much better
-

I dont know much about Zem but i used to use other sports addons like sportdevil or Tuks etc and the quality doesnt even compare. also i found i had to search for decent streams before but now all of that work is already done for me.
-
ok cheers lads just bit wary of the paid stuff because previously I got all the sports through oober.tv and all of a sudden it stopped it got shut down probably only a matter of time b4 the sportsmania lads have their garage raided.

Obviously a risk but at 50 quid for a year, including PPV, I'm sure everyone will survive without cancelling Christmas if it goes tits up.
-
There are others as well. Smoothstreams and HD subs. Both very good.
-
I had a Sportsmania sub on Jarvis v16. The brother in law was over and stuck on Wookie lite but his wain was yapping left before adding Sportsmania. I have done a search for it in add ons and can't find it albeit I have no idea what I'm doing. Help please otherwise I'll have to reload Jarvis ;D
-
Sorted. Appreciate the help ;D

No. Different problem. I was looking under Program Add-Ons instead of Video Add-Ons!

I bought a zgemma h.2.s box and its just landed here. Anyone have any recommendations for the annual subscription or just go with anything on ebay?

Don't go on ebay.
Techkings is a terrific resource: http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/
and if you put a request on here http://www.techkings.org/general-satellite-discussion/114970-anyone-recommend-good-server-satellite-january-february-only.html#post649984 you will be inundated with (hopefully) reliable sellers and you will be able to get a 24 hour test on the line (which is the subscription).
-
Or register on here http://www.cs-kings.biz/ and use one of the sellers with the most positive feedback. some of them will have 1000s of subscribers
-
Cheers lads, thanks for that. Will most likely be back in the next few days with plenty more questions

I have a firestick with sports mania add on installed.
So far it has been a great job.
I particularly like the matrix player part which means you can use it like sky go.
Now at times I have had issues with the firestick because of the poor memory it has.
Can anybody recommend a box you could upgrade to ?
-
I'd say you struggle to beat that for £50ish, with a keyboard....

I've a much older version and it works great even over wifi..

Amazon Firebox tv is a great job.
-
+1 on the fire tv. The stick did my head in. With the tv the UI is more responsive. Stream load very quickly. Even possible to resume programs/films in the middle which was more or less impossible with the stick.
-
Running of wi-fi okay for the firebox ?
-
All good - I've had no issues with wifi. Only issues I have are the shitty bt hubs, but that affects all connected devices not just the fire tv.
-
I have a Fire TV and find it useful as I've a Prime account. If you don't, there's no point in paying more for the Fire TV then a higher spec box.
-
What do you get the most use out of with the prime account? Been looking into getting one recently.

If you know any university students are staff who aren't interested in prime you can use their details to get a 6 month free trial and then half price prime after that.
-
I know there are other benefits to having a Prime account but are you not just paying for movies and TV that is just free on other android boxes??
-
I use Prime for its delivery speed, not for Prime Video. However, as I have it, i use it to watch videos that are on it rather than exodus. Anything else I just go to exodus.

Got an MXIII box today thanks to LL recommendations and have set it up and having a play about with it. As I'm in London the aim is to try and catch the gaa on RTE during the summer. Whats the easiest way of doing this? Tried castaway but can't seem to have any luck. Ill subscribe to sportsmania once I get my head round the whole thing. Cheers lads.

I've never had to look for RTE from an out of Ireland perspective so wouldn't be an expert but I do know that RTE and TG4 are included in a Sportsmania subscription so that'd be pretty reliable (currently :) ). I'm sure RTE can be found on free add-ons but is likely to be hit and miss and wouldl likely let you down just when you really want it.
Gallsman is probably the man to answer the question best I'd say..

I'm in the North, the problem you'll have is getting an RTE that is showing the match, like the iPlayer for "international" viewers sometimes they show something else I'm guessing for copyright reasons, although I've much less bother with getting matches on TG4, generally I use either the stand alone app Modbro or UK Turks on Kodi.
The matches that are on both RTE and Sky Sports I normally just watch a sky stream as you'll be more likely to get a good quality dependable stream.
If anyone else has better ways of watching I'd be interested myself.
-
I used sports mania for rte for the championship last summer. Can also install rte player and use a DNS provider to get it as if in Ireland.
-
Cheers lads. Still getting used to it but seems fairly user friendly. Have the full sky package at home but if I even get a few rte games on SM it'll pay for itself cos we won't have to spend the day in the pub watching matches.
-
Since they overloaded a couple of times, the SM service has been absolutely perfect for me. They're adding more channels in HD too. Rte was hit and miss but should be enough to get by
-
Any good addons for sports coverage on Kodi?
Sportsdevil is OK but not brilliant, just wondered if there are any better out there.

As has been said endlessly on the thread, pay for Sportsmania.

Am i right in saying sportsmania is closed to new subs? only sportsnationHD for new ones?

Yeah I think they might have closed up for new subs after the hassle over Christmas, scroll back a bit on this thread and there's a link to a Facebook group where you will get all the latest info
-

Correct. You get same service only from different servers.
-
Free 10 day trial, I haven't tried it myself but it might be worth a shot on Kodi. Looks like the Irish channels are on there.
https://youtu.be/unT-Mx0nHI0
-
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=btm90OfAPrw
Hd subs. Good streams as well. Has a 7 day free trial on its website. Only drawback is you can only use it on one device only.
-
Had anyone else's sportsmaina just stopped working?
-
Its back working now.
-
Ur man Wilo was on Twitter there taking responsibility for the problem, says he upgraded it today and configured something wrongly..
Must be lifting some money, he put a poll up an hour ago asking customers where they were from and has had 3k responses since then. 3000 times £50 is £150,000.

Working perfectly. Did you do the update?

Do you mean on kodi? Didn't know I had to. Though I do have it set to auto updates so I presume it did.
Can't log in on kodi or matrix apps or on laptop. Matrix app telling me it can't download channels
-
The sportsmania lad on Facebook asked people to update their SM version. It's working perfectly for me. Watching the Liverpool game. I did the update in kodi

Lads, technical question here. One of the lads in work explained IPTV to me, and I can't believe I didn't know about it already. He uses RapidIPTV and he gave me his account to take a look. I think it costs €90 p.a. I configured it with Simple IPTV client on my Kodi box, put in the URL etc, and all looks good. I'm able to watch US TV Channels, HBO, Showtime, NFL Network etc etc. I have the Kodi box plugged into ethernet, so performance all looks good.
However, there are a couple of issues that I wonder can I solve? You Tube/Google hasn't given me the answers so far..
1 - Too many Channels. The EPG is almost unusable, as there are thousands (5,000) channels, and my box is really struggling to handle it. I have a cheap android box, but I'm not planning on replacing it, so I was just wondering is there any way you can just filter the list of channels that appear on the EPG?
2 - Again, related to the amount of channels. Every time Kodi starts, it beings loading guide information for ALL these channels, which takes about 20 minutes. Now the box is usable when that is going on, but if I try watch live TV, it does seem to freeze the box, and restarted Kodi a couple of times. (Which restarted the fecking process of downloading the guides again!!). Can I limit the guide download to only the channels I want?
Cheers lads.
-
I'd imagine the answer is with RapidIPTV, if they are worth their salt they'll have a user forum or Facebook group with tutorials? I only use free IPTV stuff for movies and series, Sportsmania still covers all my sports needs but my mate has an iptv sub in his pub and I regularly see him fighting with the EPG to get what he's looking for..
-
What's the free IPTV you use? From my brief exposure it seems that the m3us go out of date as quickly as they end up getting posted.
-
Not signed up to sportsmania but can you use your login details on different boxes (not at the same time)
-

I've a zGemma box for Sky, there is a built in IPTV player on it that I use. It is constantly updated and deletes dead links. I've never tried to add a IPTV subscription to box but I think you can.
-
Ah I see. Sound.
-

Yes, no problem at all.
I don't know how strictly they actually enforce the one amount usage at a time. The other night the girlfriend was using Sportsmania to watch something on channel 4 on our Fire TV and I was able to have Liverpool-Chelsea running on my phone.
-
Does sportsmania have channels other than Sports channels???

It is in there though as are all the local channels plus some American stuff. Look u always come across as a good guy message me and I'll give u my username and password and u can have a look around it if u like..

Has anyone streamed sportsmania or kodi via chrome cast to their TV? Going to be away for work in the next few weeks and if it would work I'd buy a chrome cast to use on the bedroom hotel TV.

Haven't had a Chromecast for a while but casting video via a browser never worked well for me.
Also, the hotel WiFi is likely to be a login with username and password job. Don't think the Chromecast would be able to get on it.

I was in Donegal last weekend and downloaded the Kodi app for my phone. Signed into the hotel Wi-Fi and got on Sportsmania no bother to watch the Frampton fight.
I had the firestick with me too, but her majesty left the remote at home so I couldn't get trying that.

There's an app that acts as a Kodi remote - it's definitely available on Android, not sure about iOS
-
Aye, I have the firestick remote app on my phone but it wouldn't seem to connect. You may already have to be on wifi before it can connect or something like that.

The Fire remote app only works when the device is on the same network as the phone.

Hi Lads, I'm using Xtream Codes to stream live TV, and the channels and all look great. It was working fine, but today it seems like every live TV channel plays for about a minute, and then kicks me back to the EPG. Is there anything I can do about that, or is it my stupid box/provider?
When I say 'using', obviously I mean since yesterday when I was on here asking other daft questions!
-
What box have you got? Have you tried clearing the cache?
-
It's an ABox, A1 plus. got it on Amazon for €60. I have it plugged into Ethernet over Homeplug, and it's working very well with exodus etc. As I say, the Live TV plays brilliantly. For a minute :) But there's no buffering or slowness.
I think I did clear the cache, but I'll try that again. The little one is watching BFG at the moment :)
-
Sounds like it might be the add on(x tream codes) itself is the problem then rather than the box or your internet.
-
I'd be tempted to get the ultimate mania, what sort of payments do they accept I don't fancy putting card details into pirate TV site lol
-
They use Stripe it's as safe or safer as PayPal
-

I wouldn't bother with ultimate mania. Anything non-sports you can get in it will be on exodus.
-
You can't get live tv on exodus can you?
-
Rumour that the guy who runs Exodus has quit? There are others of course but it was the best.
This might be covered already i suppose but can i watch sportsmani/sportsnationHD on my PS4? (even better, is it possible to get Kodi on my PS4)?

He has, but Exodus is remaining. Apparently he coded in a Denial of Service attack which affected other Add Ons, because he was pissed off that they were using his code as a baseline.
He was caught when someone looked at his code, and all hell broke loose, so he walked away. I think TVADDONS are going to keep it going.

I am thinking about getting one of these services, my needs are access to the Irish channels (RTE, TG4 etc) and GAA coverage during the year. Also if I could access geo-blocked content on the RTE player it would be a major plus. Which service would be best?

This service for streaming live tv feeds is excellent https://www.firstonetv.eu/Live
Both Eir sports 1 and Premier are available and is a good standby for the geo-blocked Irish channels.

Has anyone any experience with Plex? is it the same as Kodi? I noticed that my smart Tv has an app for it. I've heard of it but know very little about it.
-
Plex is a media server. I've used for streaming local files of my own to various devices - TV, phone etc. Decent but these days, to me it's more or less defunct. Not sure if there are add-ons for it like Kodi.

My kids got me kodi for Christmas, I'm using it with an Amazon fire stick. It buffers quite a lot, I got my line checked and it's working fast enough. The man recommended that I try a broadband extender which I would plug into the wall in both rooms, my hub is not near my tv. Has anyone used one of these? Are they any good and do they work. Thank in advance sorry for what's maybe a silly question.

Is there a free EPG that will work with Ultimate Mania? I used Perfect Player when with a different provider. Is On-Tapp the only one that works?

I was gonna tell ya to buy something else ;D but since you have bought it I'll change my approach a Bit.
They are a decent reliable box, a bit dated in that they have very basic EPG so are slightly more difficult to navigate but it won't let you down. I've one at my work this 3 years and it's still going fine..
-
Yes. Thanks for that. Was going to get a zgemma but the guy talked me out of it
-
And my MXIII lives on 8)
Decided to give it one last chance last night and it still wouldn't work :'( .
I then thought maybe it was the Bluetooth dongle I've in it for the remote causing it to switch on and off as it was the only thing apart from the power lead plugged into it. Amazingly enough as soon as I took it out the box stopped switching on and off and worked perfectly.I've a spare remote for it so all is good again.
-
What remote do have? Does it offer much more functionality than the bog standard one that comes with the box

What box would you recommend? I see people locally advertising these for £160 with recording functions, boxsets, cinema movies and 3pm games. They are specific in saying that it isnt Kodi and is a satelite replacement.
-
I upgraded in the last 12 months from the open box type tHING to zGemma specifically a zGemma h2s. There is a bit of a learning curve with them but the benefits of them is a much better user experience. Record, pause, watch one thing record another, 7 day EPG. There are also IPTV and Kodi plugins that make it a streaming box too..
That £160 sounds about right for one already set up. I've seen them here locally for around €200 but beware they were an older ZGemma box with only one tuner meaning some of the above functionality is lost.

Good man Boycey. Thanks for the info

I've one of these setup Boycey but I find the recording a bit hit and miss - maybe I'm doing something wrong. Do you find it reliable if you set it up to record the same thing every week (like series link)?

To be honest I don't really use the record function with live tv that much, actually I probably never use it. I tend to stream any series I'm following or download multiple episodes all at once using the IPTV player on the box.
Heres what looks like the same problem on a zgemma forum http://www.techkings.org/zgemma-star-h-2s/119411-series-link-recording-problems.html . If it doesn't help have a look around in there for another solution or register and ask your question they are a helpful lot generally
-
I record a lot on the Z Gemma.
Shoot.......
The first thing to do when selecting a series link is to until the day of the week. If the program is on Monday, it will default to just looking for that program on Mondays. So deselect the day of the week and then it will look for the program ever day of the week.
Also worth noting that it needs to find the exact title otherwise it won't find it. For example if you were recording Celebrity Big Brother it won't know that "Live Eviction: CBB" is the same program. So you need to record that also.
It also only looks for a specific time slot (but you can widen those as required).
So in essence, it's not a true series link, but rather it will record a program when the title, teh channel selected and the timeframe returns a match. Once you appreciate that I think it becomes more intuitive.

Lads, what's the difference between a zGemma box, and an Android box for €50 that I bought on Amazon? Is it far superior, longer lasting? Better processor?

A zGemma is principally a Sky replacement box that connects to ur Sky Dish, it has the added benefit of being able to steam stuff like the android box u have.
-
Ah, ok. If you are a Sky Q customer, there's no benefit to getting one of those boxes? Might as well just stick with what I have?
I'm thinking of getting another one for the bedroom. The one I have, an A1 box, is doing grand plugged into the Ethernet Cable, using home plugs. Should I just get another one of them (about 45 euro on Amazon) or is there a better one I should be looking at?

I'd not bother with a zGemma unless you are doing away with Sky. (depends on how much u paying Sky I guess)
I've no experience of that A1 box I have an old MX something or other that I use when exiled from the main tv of the house (most nights) I don't even bother with the homeplugs it never misses a beat on either Exodus or Sportmania. The newer MX boxes are not far off the price you paid for yours.
-
Are MX the best?
-
They are a budget one like the one you use, they are the only one I'm familiar with and the one I see most often coming up on ads in Facebook and the like. If ur happy with the one ur using get another one of them as u will be familiar with it?
I think nvidea shields are supposed to be the best but I'd be fcuked if I pay over 200 quid for one. A few on here have highly recommended the firetv before as a good box, they are about £80 and I think u still have to sideload Kodi onto it
-

I think alot of them are the same box with different branding.
The MX box I have has been used constantly for almost 3 years and apart from a minor near death experience the other night it's still going strong.
-
Cheers Lads.

Just downloaded the new 2.0 Sportsmania App to the auld MX box, saves going through Kodi.. The matrix tv one never worked right for me on box but works brilliantly on iPad
-
Have tried the new app out on my phone. Still only in beta but appears to be working great.

I was able to get Kodi onto my firestick without sideloading did the whole thing through an app called ES File Explorer and following instructions from SEOMichael really handy and pain free.

Guys anyone interested in a zGemma h2s, new and fully ready to go, including a 32gb flash drive for recording. I got it for a friend of mine whos now changed his mind. I'm looking €150 which just covers what it costs me..

Hi Boycey,
What would I need along with the box? Do I need to have a satellite up already? I'm moving to a new house and would be keen to get one but haven't got a satellite up.
-
Yeah would need satellite and internet...

The main guy behind Sportsmania has said on his Facebook group that it's virtually impossible for them to do this. If they ban a domain name, Sportsmania just open a new one and point everybody st that.

Decided to give Real Debrid a go. Great yoke altogether.

I had multiscreen with sky so I cancelled and put in a zgemma to see how it would work out. Delighted with it - the odd time it does freeze for a few seconds (even with a hardwired BB connection) but that's a small price to pay
-

Yeah, signed up a couple of weeks ago, the difference in the links is incredible. I added a trakt account at the same time which is great for keeping the stuff you follow easy to find.

Boycey, re the "crackdown" on 3pm games......
As a SportsMania subscriber do you think that I will need a VPN to view the games or will SportsMania take care of that so I don't have to worry about it?

Boycey, re the "crackdown" on 3pm games......
As a SportsMania subscriber do you think that I will need a VPN to view the games or will SportsMania take care of that so I don't have to worry about it?
Here's what the guy running Sportsmania says on his page
Right this is my 1 and only post about this guys so please refrain from making new ones.
Yes i've seen the news "S*y have permission to try to take down streaming devices,
Will this affect any of the services i run?
No not in the slightest,
As i have said in the past i already have about 10 backup plans.
So hypothetically lets say something on SM/SNHD/UM was blocked what would be the downtime?
Honest answer: about 5 minutes.
Why not longer than 5 minutes? well if i told everyone then it wouldn't be a plan would it but you guys have trusted me for coming up now 5 years and we are still here so stop worrying if there is anything that concerns me you guys will be the 1st to hear it.
Now enjoy the service you pay for and stop worrying and leave that to me and if i'm not worrying neither should you!
A few FAQ answered:
Q) If you do get blocked will i need to do anything?
A) Only thing you will have to do is update your addons / apps and if you have bookmarked our site then unbookmark it and follow the instructions we set.
Q) How likely is this going to happen?
A) Unlikely
Q) Will i need a VPN?
A) No
Now i hope this puts it to bed guys and you all stop worrying as thats what you pay me for ;) so just sit back and enjoy.
-
Thanks Boycey.
One other question that came into my head......
Can you add your Real Debrid account to any of the IPTV services on the zGemma?
123movies seems to have gone dead on the IPTV the last week or so; hence my wondering how to get good sources on the IPTV as it is more convenient than Kodi for me
-
Kodi 17 is pretty slick. Takes a bit of getting used to but I like it.

I don't know but would doubt it, I had to go into Exodus setting to add real-Debrid account details and don't see where you would do that with the iptv? There's an add on installed on my zGemma which claims to remove services that aren't working, try updating that if ur not using it currently.
I completely stopped using zGemma for streaming since I got the real Debrid account. I fished out an old fire stick I'd given up on and put it in a spare hdmi slot on tv. Exodus works brilliantly on it, live stuff from Sportsmania it still struggles with.
-
No problems yesterday anyways..

There are big changes on Sportsmania today, worth checking its working for you now and save you farting around with it when you are looking to watch a game...
UPDATE:
Ok so we are going to go with the domain switch,
New domain name is http://sportsmania.rocks,
ANYTHING you see with http://sportsmania.eu will no longer be us,
Now here's where we need your help guys.
If you were brought here by lets say a forum, Facebook page, Twitter, club chat site etc etc etc then help us out by telling them the new domain and also here's what now is going to be a long day for myself and the staff:
We are gonna need to do the following:
1) Update the Kodi addons (first on my list)
2) Update the apps
3) Update the sites urls
So while we do this if you can help us so we can do everything a lot quicker then that be great.
Otherwise sit tight we are going as fast as we can ok guys wont be more than a couple hours.
A bulk email will be sent out in the next hour or 2 guys letting you all know about the domain change as well guys so when you receive it let me know on this thread.
-
Switching domain because of being blocked?
-
assuming that this has no impact on sportsnationHD
-
AZ - He says no its not because of being blocked
Lurganblue - I'm not sure mate, if sportsnationHD ends in .eu I'd suspect it is affected.

sportsnation seems fine

Mine too. I was getting thick because I've just put in homeplugs because I was so happy with it. Started watching stuff using showbox now.

-
Just checked. All working fine. Also have a Real Debrid account.
-
Boys Real-Debrid is €16 for 6 months I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The quality of the links is phenomenal almost anything you want in full 1080p HD. (Can be used on some other addons too)
On a related note, the 'dodgy' box world could be about to come crashing down too with Sky having removed some channels in the last couple of days..
-
Cheers all, I'll look into signing up for an account

What's a dodgy box boycey?
-
What's a dodgy box boycey?
The boxes (zGemma, Openbox) offering the full Sky packages that we talk about from time to time on this thread. There is actually a separate thread but this thread is more active so most of the chat happens. Basically Sky have started fecking around this week, all low tech stuff so far, moving channels, removing a few. The 'experts' seem to think it'll be easily cracked and a fix will available within days but the question most people are asking is why would Sky bother unless its a precursor to something big.

I was having issues with Exodus, couldn't get links and when I did they wouldn't work. I was using Kodi 16, so I deleted everything and installed Kodi 17, I then reinstalled exodus, Phoenix, Turks etc and they are all working fine now.

Came on to post the same. I have Kodi 17 on one TV but Kodi 16 on the other. Checked last night and Exodus on Kodi 17 was working fine. Must update the other now.
-
Problem I have with Kodi 17 is that my IPTV provider's plug in in Kodi doesn't work with it, so I have to wait for them to catch up.

Its being a while since Phoenix updated their new releases section. Always great quality movies in there but nothing new in a couple of months.

Daft. It's open source - if they try to shut it down (legally dubious), ten versions of it will pop up in no time at all. Chasing Kodi and chasing the add-on developers are two different things. Seizing the Kodi domain will do bugger all.

I'm not quite sure I'm understanding you. You can go into say Homeland series 6 and see all the episodes but when you watch one you can't see the rest, is this right?
-
Could be the end of the dreamboxes... sky appear to have altered their encryption method and some channels have gone. Sky atlantic, eurosport etc
You would imagine they will roll that out across all their channels fairly soon.
Watch this space...

I can see IPTV being the future for pirate TV there's no way they can stop it one person legitimately getting all the channels can be replicated out to a million different sources

It sounds to meet like your "Hide Watched" box is ticked. Click the left arrow on your remote it should bring a menu down the left hand side of screen. If the Hide Watch box is ticked just untick it.

I see there's an updated version of the Fire Stick coming out with slightly bumped up hardware and a new interface (I presume this will be the same as the interface the Fire TV was upgraded too recently). Will give it a go and test it out.

it seems that most people here are signed up to a paid service for soccer streams. SportsnationHD for myself. Think it was 26 quid for 6 months. Well worth it for even even if i dont watch a massive amount of games. I particularly like having the boxing available at the weekends.
-
Same here. I'm on Sportsmania. Haven't had too many issues with it and have watched lots of games. As long as you do the general maintenance it's fine.
They have a catch-up type thing with most major events being available within a few hours if you missed them.

Do they have SD streams or purely HD as my broadband isn't the greatest and whilst its not big dough I'd hate to buy it and it buffer like hell.

I'm with Talktalk and it is complete sh*te. I would struggle with the HD myself but the SD works no problem.
-
I've got into the habit of just picking the SD streams because I know there'll be no buffering issues.
However, sometimes, the games I want to watch are only on HD channels and they aren't a problem. Buffers maybe at the start until it gets going but no real issues.
Worth it for a £1 a week!

Anyone offer any advice on an app to use to alter my IP address? I used tunnel bear last week to watch a match on tg4 but now its not working.

No you don't need Kodi. Download Matrix TV on the play store.
Type in sportsmania.rocks for the URL when you open the app. Then log in with your normal details.
Works great on Android and I have it on an iPad also and works great.

I use matrixtv on iOS, I think it's also on android get from your App Store. I tried the Sportsmania app on a android box a few times and didn't think much of it. There is a Sportsmania Facebook support page, they'll have the App apk there if u really want to download it..
-
On a slightly different note, apparently Sky Sports Box Office has been taken off the 'sky' boxes, i use a zgemma. Anybody know if any of the apps in the IPTV player do live sports?

A right few channels gone off the dodgy boxes today, and no sign of any breakthrough in solving the original problem. It looks like the writing is definitely on the wall at this stage. Time to try out IPTV I reckon..

What channels have gone today?
-
SS3
SS4
SS5
SSN
SKY Atlantic +1
All Disney channels.
Some of sports channels are available on other frequencies I think but it doesn't seem too positive

Boycey, as you are my go-to guy............
What's the differences between IPTV and the likes of SportsMania on Kodi?
Do you need a really good broadband speed in order to enjoy IPTV?
-
I'm definitely not an expert when it comes to IPTV. I'm hoping it can replicate Sky in some form. My Sportsmania sub is essential as is kodi but I use them in an 'event driven' way if there's a match or series on I want to watch I find it and view. I really like though being able to channel hop and surf on a Sky type platform.
-
I would say you are less likely to need good broadband for iptv. It uses adaptive technologies which basically mean poor broadband just means lower quality stream. Kodi from what i can gather is constant meaning poor broadband poor download rates.
-
I totally agree Boycey, the Sky platform with the planner and recording function is essential.
That is promising news Tommy. Sportsmania plays fine for me on Kodi; so on that basis hopefully the IPTV would be a real option for me too.
Having just learnt about cardsharing 6 months ago it looks like it's time to learn something different!!
-
The guy who done my box told me tonight that they are done. Defo the end of them and it won't be a quick fix, possibly a fix at some point but it could be expensive.
-
Sportsmania is an IPTV, I have a different IPTV subscription think it costs me about 25 quid for 3 months. My Broadband Speed is alright nothing special and it seems to work 100 % bang on all sports HD channels with all Box Office etc I couldn't be happier with it.
Theres an EPG on it as well if you like your channel hopping, does Sportsmania not come with the programmer?
-
MoChara, the difference is that SportsMania is only really for watching live sport.
Whereas I think the thing with "proper" IPTV is that it works pretty much the way Sky does where you can get the movie channels, the Kids channels and all the silly Kardashian type channels also.
I presume your IPTV sub works this way?
-
I have IPTV player on the zgemma - is there anyway of watching the like of sky sports box office through it?
-

There appears to be, although I think you need a slightly different setup. You need to get an IPTV sub, and from reading on the excellent techkings forum there is a bit of set up required.
I'm just waiting for Boycey to make the leap and then he can educate us ;)
-
UltimateMania is run by the same crowd that does Sportsmania but does the rest of the channels as well plus the Sport. £75 for the year and the quality is great as long as you have good broadband. The 1080p streams for the Sport are excellent at the moment. I run it through the Amazon FireTV and absolutely no bother.
As for as TV guide, the only one that works seems to be OnTapp but its a bit of a pain and I have never bothered to set it up.

No, with SM you can do either - watch a live channel or select by event.

Have Sports Mania stopped taking new subscriptions?
They did after there was uproar at Christmas when, i think, they didn't have the infrastructure in place to handle the masses who got boxes and a subscription for presents combined with all the sport on at the same time. Not sure if it's been opened again since.

Whereas I think the thing with "proper" IPTV is that it works pretty much the way Sky does where you can get the movie channels, the Kids channels and all the silly Kardashian type channels also.
I presume your IPTV sub works this way?
My IPTV sub works this way. Sports, Movies, American Channels, Sky Channels etc...
€25 for 3 months.
Is this IPTV you talk off an app of some description?
It is also a generic term for TV source over the interweb.
Yes I am aware of that. Technically my IPTV app then.

If a close personal friend of mine wanted to get this IPTV up and running, how would they go about doing it? This lad currently has a Sportsmania sub which is watched via Kodi on a fire stick.

No I have Team Expat. It is an add on in Kodi (Xstream Codes or something like that) but is also available as an apk. Their support is excellent.

Maybe slightly off topic but I am considering switching from my awful android box to Zgemma box wit 24 month subscription with Sky Q skins. I still used my android box for kodi and exodus app for series links but is this available on Zgemma or IPTV available on Zgemma sorry for the questions I'm a complete novice when it comes to technology

Do you need to buy a box for it and if so from where?

No, I have it on 2 Android boxes (both approx €50) plugged into a homeplug wired network (getting about 60-70 mbps) and into a telly in the sitting room and the second one in a bedroom.
You can then install the apk directly, or as an add on to Kodi. It only allows me view on 1 box at a time, but if I add a second 'line' for €2.99 a month I can watch on both. No need for me to do that because I tend to use it for American channels, and that's normally only me watching, so that's fine.
Also works (the subscription) on phone/tablet etc, subject to the 1 viewer at a time restriction,

When I talk about IPTV, I mean an option accessed via the blue button on the ZGemma that has up to 20 'apps' such as 'Watch Series', 'HD Cartoon', 'iPlayer' etc.

Yes, I guess the last page has been about a subscription based IPTV service that effectively replaces Sky (including the EPG etc).
How you access that seems to be different (I assume) from the IPTV plugin via the blue button.
As a guide, I seen this posted on a forum this morning:
Installation Guide – Enigma2
Installing IPTV on Enigma2 Devices
As with any changes on Engima2 devices, it is recommended you take a backup
of your device first.
What you will need:
Putty (for Windows) or Terminal (for a mac)
A form of text editor – Notepad++, Wordpad or Notepadqq (Do not use
Notepad)
Epgimport – This must be installed on your device before you start importing
our service. If not already installed, please go to Menu >> Plugins >> Download
Plugins >> Extensions (You must restart your device once installed)
IPTV Script – Download here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ny3zpgoymwjq6se/IPTVScript.txt?dl=0
Installation
Open Putty, and in the ‘Host Name (or IP address)’ box enter the enigma2 boxes IP
address, and then click the Telnet radio button and click open
Then log in using the word, root
Now open the IPTV Script you have downloaded in your text editor and replace
the word ‘username’ with your IPTV username and the word ‘password’ with your
IPTV password.
Then save your file, select all and copy the entire contents. Once copied, paste the
contents straight into Putty. Once is it pasted, press enter.
The script will now run and re-boot on its own. You will now have our service added into
their own bouquets.
Adding the EPG
The EPG files were automatically added when the script was run. Open Epgimport and
select sources. Then import the following sources by ticking them and then saving.
UK IPTV, Canadian IPTV, Canadian1 IPTV, USA IPTV and USA1 IPTV, International IPTV,
International1 IPTV, International2 IPTV, Rytec UK XMLTV and Rytec Middle East XMLTV.
Once saved, it will take you to the next screen, click the yellow button ‘Manual
option’ and that will scan all the options you have just ticked to your attached HDD or
USB.
After you have run the initial scan, you can then set Epgimport to scan whenever
you want to update the EPG information. Setting it to scan daily and at boot up is
the recommend option.

UltimateMania is run by the same crowd that does Sportsmania but does the rest of the channels as well plus the Sport. £75 for the year and the quality is great as long as you have good broadband. The 1080p streams for the Sport are excellent at the moment. I run it through the Amazon FireTV and absolutely no bother.
As for as TV guide, the only one that works seems to be OnTapp but its a bit of a pain and I have never bothered to set it up.
[/b]
This is the set up I use. Ultimate mania integrated with OnTapp for a TV guide. It does the job.

I watched the whole undercard fine, but I lost it when the ring walk started for the main fight.

Had it on from about 8.30, crystal clear not a single buffer..

Yes mate - Ended up going to 5live ffs!

Yep. Was a disaster. Ended up finding some online stream.

Shite, I seem to be in a minority of 1 on this. For what it's worth I watched it on my iPad and picked one of the SD streams (although it was top class). Anyone a member of their Facebook group it'd be worth looking on there to see how widespread the issue was..
-
Mine was fine (1080p Showtime stream) but it went down in the 8th and 9th for a bit.

Worked well with me. On FB Willie willo advised subscribers to use the Sports extra section.

My sub on sportsmania is up and i haven't renewed yet . I got a zgemma box and that has been great until i recently lost ss4 and ss5 (haven't missed anything yet because of it but I'm sure I will soon). Is sportsmania still worth it?

Coming into the summer months I don't think I'll be using it much.

was thinking the same myself - sportsmania is really good for NFL and that doesn't start till september. Also a cheap way of getting gaa if you're away on holidays

Have an openbox and this last month have started lossing stations at least 20 gone and word is the movie channels going next week. Sky have started to change their encryption code and it not lookin good.

You will be missing more than that. Sky Atlantic and all Eurosports are also gone. Will they find a way around the encryption or will sky turn more channels off is anyone's guess

Thanks folks

The Disney channels are gone as well I believe plus some others..
Hard to believe Sky would go to the effort of turning some channels off unless they going to do them all? The early talk on the itk forums was that this was a 'low tech' solution from Sky and would be easily worked around but it doesn't appear to be working out like that..
-
Yea see today most of kids channels gone today. Still no mention of a fix yet. Where is Fintona when you him......

Loads of channels gone now. I'm going to go the IPTV route. I could live with what's went so far but was raging with sky sports box office going.

A neighbour has asked me to configure an Android box for him. He just wants Ireland and UK TV channels and any sports channels available. I'd like to throw in a movies add-on as well for him. I don't know much about these boxes/Kodi.
I could read this whole thread, but just wondering is there a quick answer to best TV, sports and movie add-ons - and their URLs, if possible. Can I get everything I need from Kodi or should I install other repos?
-
For movies you could download Showbox or MovieHD. These aren't through Kodi but rather stand alone apps.
You wont find them on the play store so you need the apk for them. Just google showbox apk or MovieHD apk.
You could also install the Exodus repo on Kodi. This guy is your friend for that.
https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-install-exodus-on-kodi-krypton/
Sports is more tricky. I think you'll find most will a agree a paid subscription to sportsmania or similar is the best route to take but there are other options like sports devil that are free repos. Once again the site I linked above is your best bet on easy ways of installing repos.

Thanks laoislad.

Loads of channels gone now. I'm going to go the IPTV route. I could live with what's went so far but was raging with sky sports box office going.
I was in the local corner store the other day and the Indian owner had his TV going with a rugby game on. He told me he uses IPTV and watches sports/shows/news and movies from all over the world. His setup is a MAG254 with the provider charging less then $100 a year and the MAG254 box cost under $100. He went through a lot of channels showing me all the features which were pretty cool and cheap compared to cable/satellite TV.
My question is- anyone using this in the states and which IPTV provider are you using and any problems?
Thanks,
DH

For TV Shows and Movies, I've been using MovieHD for years. Best about.

I use Ultimate mania integrated with OnTapp. I get 100's of channels including most of the Irish, English and U.S channels. You can use it through Kodi, so if you're familiar with that set up it is easy to install.It works well most of the time.

Maybe go into settings and clear cache or force stop app.

Yeah has happened to me a couple of times, It probably didn't close down right the last time. Force close the app and you should get straight back in.

I'm struggling with this Kodi Android stuff. The whole setup is whatever is the opposite of intuitive and whether it works or not seems to depend on the direction of the wind or something.
As I was saying the neighbour gave me his new Android box to set up. I spent most of yesterday f*king about with it and finally settled on Phoenix, for two reasons - (1) it seems to have loads of everything he wants - UK and Satellite TV, Sky Sports and a whole lot of other sports, and loads of movies. (2) It worked great. Watched any TV I wanted. Watched the Players golf on Sky. Gave him a ring, said I'd drop in this evening and set it up for him.
Came home tonight - checked again - all TV channels working grand but no sport to be had anywhere. All of the places I could get Sky Sports last night, I just get a whirring wheel for a minute and it comes back to the menu. Then I go back to Live TV - nothing. No BBC. No UK channels. Now I have to ring him and tell him I'm not coming and I have no answer when he asks me what's wrong, because I have no f*king idea.
What do people do in a situation like this? (After the throwing stuff at the wall, etc.) Reinstall? Is there a vital bit of info that I don't have/understand? Is this what I can expect all the time with IPTV? on Android.
Help!

Seems sky, bt, Virgin, etc whave being doing a bit of work together to block the kodi boxes as well through their broadband.
VPN was needed over the weekend and tonight to watch the football.

Heard this but dont really know much about it. I watched the boxing over the weekend and had no problems but them i'm with talktalk. What does a VPN do? is it like a proxy IP or something?

Fella in work is getting this IPTV in, apparently it's the new thing.
Anyone get their box from a fella Owen on Facebook? He was constantly changing his Facebook page (seemed to be any time he got a few bad reviews) and claiming he had been shut down. There was a private facebook support group, and he would post stuff but always turn off comments to stop any bad reviews/comments. Funnily enough, since all the channels started disappearing he has dropped off the group and became uncontactable - his wife says Facebook has banned him and we will have updates soon. Nothing!

I follow him on bakebook as i was interested but never bit the bullet. He's safer just putting up a post saying that the ass has fell out of it and there is no fix.
-
Yeah that's it, I have been added to another group with a view to getting the IPTV from them. The fellas on that group have told everyone straight from the start that it looked to be the end for those type of boxes.
-
Looks like IPTV could have it's problems soon too though with the Sky, BT and Virgin broadband blocks.
-
Some people were holding hope for the channels to be made available again, but at the end of the day they never recovered the HD channels when they went so was always looking the same for the latest ones that have been going.
I am going for IPTV, but going to hold off for a month or too to see how stable it is with a lot of people going to go to it now in big numbers.
-
I've noticed channels gradually disappearing alright. Not good but then it was never probably going to last for ever and the level of evasion is now probably starting to affect the bottom line for Sky, BT and what the rights holders are able to extort.
-
Ultimatemania, sportsmania and sportsnation had major issues.
The football games could only be watched by using a VPN.
When the football was on the rest of their stations were down.
Seems to have been a court case that is forcing the major broadband companies to take action.
After the football was over all stations were fully working again .
The mods of the mania stations say they have a work around which will be in place for next season.
The VPN is a pain but they still work.
Long term I would say if you want to watch via IPTV then you will have to have a good VPN.

Sportsmania acting the p***k tonight. Trying to watch the Sheffield Wednesday Huddersfield game and it's stopping and starting every few minutes.

It seems all IPTV are under attack at the minute from DDOS attacks and the likes definitely has to be Sky etc fighting back, a lot of IPTV providers are actually resellers so if the source is getting affected then all the different reseller products will be as well. More talk of with my subscription of them moving to new servers and improving this and that but at the end of the day Sky just needs to know where the new source is and attack it instead of the old one.
-
Also looks like they are attacking the Payment Engines. Trying to lobby things like Paypal to not take subscriptions for IPTV.
It's harder to nail down the IPTV providers because of the nature of what they are doing, and the flexibility that the internet provides. Easier to scramble your own signals.
-
Working fine tonight. Watching Luton Blackpool playoff game and the stream is perfect. Great game btw if any one is interested.

Yeah i had no problem last night with the Spurs match, although i am with talktalk and I havent heard mention of them causing problems (apart from their usual shite service of course)

Apparently it's grand with the Kodi add-on through the firestick if you avoid the Sky channels, which I tend to do anyway.

I'm with BT and just used firestick and had no problems.

Decent not better cause I only have it on less than an hour ;D. I also am running it on a box I have at my work where although the internet speed is decent (about 50meg) it does tend to be inconsistent

How much did you get the year for Boycey? Did it take long to do the install?

Is there a minimum broadband speed needed for the zGemma?
-
I'm not an expert but I read that the zGemma is not great for IPTV.
It's got a pretty small processor. The H2S was made as a satellite box, not for streaming. So I guess anyone who doesn't already have a H2S should look at getting something made specifically for IPTV.

Aye Joe if you didn't have a zGemma box you wouldn't buy one for this job, that said it seems to be going fine and from what I read plenty have them.
IPTV can be put on most devices Kodi, firestick, mag, android box even straight onto Samsung and LG TVs without the need of a box at all. I've an LG TVs at home that I'm going to try a trial line over the weekend. Mind you I never get near the tv in the house so it's a bit pointless ;D
It'd need decent broadband, I've seen 10meg quoted but I'd reckon more. Obviously you would need unlimited usage too..

agree with that. I have a MXIII box running sportsmania and I have sportmania on the zgemma for the channels that stopped working (other room). Picture is better through the MXIII box. It does work though on the zgemma so if you have one don't throw it out.

Sky have a court order regarding the PL so they were disrupting the services, everyone was getting shite connections even paid for subscriptions, since the end of the PL everything seems to be bang on.

I got the IPTV from a crowd on Facebook, Elite something or other. Sent a USB in the post to update my Zgemma box, but it isn't great. The sky sports are back on, BT Sport isn't on it. Most of the entertainment on it, no Sky One or Atlantic though. Movies are inconsistent as well.
I messaged the fella the first night, he said they were updating servers. Messaged him again yesterday, no reply. Good job I only paid £10 for the first month.

Who are you with Boycey and how much is he charging? Now that you have used it more and obviously say its very good, I wouldn't mind getting in touch with him. I have a friend who does them and is giving me a months trial tonight though, but not entirely confident on how good this will run via him as I ad the zgemma through him initially years ago and it didn't run well.

I use the website techkings.org as its a been a great help to me learning about zgemma builds and the like. Register on there and scroll down the forum to IPTV and in there under IPTV Guides, Support and Discussion you can request an IPTV server. I was messaged within 24hrs by up to a dozen suppliers and tested a few lines free for 24 hours and picked a fellow I thought sounded the most plausible.
I was advised to pick someone who had plenty of feedback on the site which I did. It was a simple process to set up, with easy to follow instruction and good email help with an unrelated issue I had at the beginning. They provide IPTV also for a wide range of devices too. I'd be interested to know how it works on a smart tv as I have one. I chose the zgemma option as I have that box and have supplied them to family and a few friends also

Thanks Boycey.

Must give that forum a whirl later on.
The Elite TV fella responded to me there saying 'The guys are working on it mate'.
Great service altogether.

I use Team ExPat. So far it's very good.
AZ, are the Irish and UK channels on Team Expat? I have Ultimate mania but I might get the second subscription for the GAA as a backup for the summer.

I see Kodi are under pressure again. Phoenix been shut down as part of a law suit. Will this be the start of a real clamp down?

I'd have my doubts but suppliers will give you a 12/24 hour trial so try a couple of them out first and see how it goes?

The better ones are premium. Sportsmania for example is something like 56 quid a year and, I imagine, has tend of thousands of users.

It's addons like Genesis I dont understand. They obviously require a lot of time and upkeep but i fail to see the reward.

I used Flawless IPTV over the weekend, got the $2 two days subscription, have to say it was excellent. GAAGO had a nightmare during Mayo/ Galway game, I wouldn't rely on it for big games again.

Any suggestions as to what is the best box for IPTV. I've got an Openbox V8S but thinking of changing. Want something that's easy to record on and has menus as close to the standard satellite providers as possible. Got a 24hr trial on a Firestick which wasn't bad but was a bit fiddly, might suffice for a second TV in a multiroom set up.
-
Looking to go for IPTV and the guy has said I can download an app on Smart TV and put it through there or I can buy a box from him and he can download it on that.
Any ideas which is best?
-
in response to the 2 previous posts. I've been messing around with IPTV for about 3 weeks now and the provider I got gave me simple instructions for all devices (enigma2, android, mag, web browser, ios and smart tv) and told me I could use whichever I liked as long as I only used one device a time a bit like Sportsmania.
Thus far my zgemma wins hands down for functionality and quality of picture (superb), epg, recording etc. The smart tv option is by far the simplest (no boxes or wires obviously) and still miles ahead of anything you would have got with the cardsharing boxes but the EPG is a bit more basic. I've also just been running the smart tv off wifi rather than hardwired with no problems. The android app works ok but was a bit slow I thought..

EPG is?
The guy is looking £90 for the year to tun IPTV through the app
-
Electronic programme guide, your channel menu basically..
£90 wouldn't be that far out of line, I'm seeing prices from £50 up. If he's a lad local to you hes probably buying it off someone else and adding his own few quid on the top for himself for his own time..

Thanks for that Boyce. If IPTV is going to last then I think l might go for the Zgemma. SatsNI in Cookstown offering Zgemma and 12 months sub for £180 or thereabouts I've a Panasonic Vieta Smart TV with the latest BT home hub but it's not connecting to the Internet any more. Using an Ethernet cable but it won't connect. Any suggestions there?

Does it connect wirelessly? If it does then Laoislad is probably right you should try changing your lead.
-
Cable is fine because it had been feeding the Openbox. It's one of the ones that works through the electric sockets. Also bought a Panasonic dongle but it won't work either. I think it's a common problem

I got iptv and it was all working fine through my firestick. However, since last night anytime I go to load a channel it won't load. The wheel which shows it loading goes red. It still shows the TV guide etc. Any ideas?

Zgemma is a Satelite box. Yes if you have one already use it for iptv but why would you buy one for iptv? You cannot record on iptv unless your sub provider permits it and I don't see many that do. Buy yourself a mag256 box for around 100 euro. Simple to use, easy to set up, easy to navigate and very portable. Most importantly designed for iptv.

Yes, I used it again this weekend, the stream was excellent. It also has the Ivue EPG integrated so you see whats on all channels. Plus they have Catchup that lets you watch back over the 3 previous days.
-
Slightly off topic but what is the story with Gaago?
I'd have assumed if you have paid for a stream on it that it would be top quality is this not the case?
Have never used it before.
-
Got IPTV in.
Pretty good - freezes the odd time but no big difference from the original Skybox.
Far more channels on it though with UK, US, Hong Kong, boxsets, library of movies all available.

They had problems during the Mayo/Galway game 3 weeks ago, it was working up until 10 minutes before throw in then it crashed, I presume it couldn't handle the amount of subscribers. I haven't used it since.

Right so how does one go about getting IPTV in?
I have an android box with Kodi installed although it Exodus and the likes don't seem to be working well at the minute.

I have an old MBOX and deleted Jarvis to install Krypton, box was too old and diddnt support it. Got Jarvis back but it wont install any addons, it will do so will addons already in the repros. Tried rebooting, reinstalling and others. Any ideas? May just have to buy a new one?

did anyone here watch last saturday night's football qualifiers via IPTV? got my subscription a couple of weeks ago and was OK up until that point with the odd freeze here and there but during the 2 games there was a lot of freezing and buffering. only took the sub out for a month so can change providers easily enough. just wondering did anyone else experience this?
-
yeah, same as yourself, only had it about a month and works really well, but during the games last week it kept stuttering and freezing
-
I did a wee trial with showbox iptv there during the week. I had it running through the smart iptv app on my LG TV. I have to say it worked really well but then i was trying it during a period of time with little volume of traffic. All HD channels seemed to play no problem with no buffering issues (i get lots of buffering on HD with sportsmania). I am reluctant to fork out 70 bills though for a year when the whole thing could turn to turd once a big match is of for example. Anyone else use it?
Also what other IPTV services are there and do any of them offer shorter term agreements?
-
Is there much difference between the Mag 250 and Mag 254/256 boxes

I have one provider on a box at home and a different one at work, the one at home froze as you describe during those matches but the one at work (a cheaper sub) never missed a beat apparently. It's been pretty damn good other than that in fairness.
I've read that all the streams are coming from the same 2 or 3 guys anyway no matter who your provider is..

First game was fine - second game was terrible. Freezing all the time.
Couldnt imagine there was much difference in traffic between both games so dont know what the reason is.
Overall well worth the 70 quid which is what Sky were getting and more each month

I think the channel EPG comes from your provider, maybe yours isn't providing one or you don't get access til you buy a sub? On mine if you press the ok button while viewing, the blue button then allows you to select the groups.

Downloaded this apk as an alternative to Exodus which has been terrible for me lately.
Has an option in settings to just display HD links and also to hide dead or broken links.
You can also link your Trakt and Real Debrid accounts to it.
Seems very good so far bar the odd pop up advert

It's just some small provider - got about 50 offers so went for a trial with the first.
It's not a menu option I can see anyway and I asked the vendor and he said he's have to check.

I've a Now Tv box. kids use it mostly but I use it for GoT and Walking Dead.
I would sometimes get the Sky Sports Day Pass for times when I can't get a decent stream on Kodi or if there's a really good Super Sunday and I don't want to risk losing the picture.
Now TV box also has the Sky Box Office app available which is good for the boxing, again if I can't get a good stream elsewhere.
It's completely reliable.

From BBC website:
Premier League wins anti-piracy court order
By Bill Wilson Business reporter, BBC News
The Premier League has been awarded a High Court order for the forthcoming 2017-18 season, which will help it combat the illegal streaming of games.
The blocking order will require UK Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to prevent people from illegally accessing streams of its matches.
It will allow the league to combat the illicit sale and use of devices such as pre-loaded IPTV and Kodi boxes.
A similar order was obtained for the final two months of the 2016-17 season.
That saw more then 5,000 server IP addresses blocked that had previously been streaming Premier League content.
Sky and BT Sport hold the live rights for Premier League football. The two firms paid a record £5.136bn for rights to show live matches for three seasons.
What are Kodi boxes?
Kodi is free software, built by volunteers, that is designed to bring videos, music, games and photographs together in one easy-to-use application.
Some shops sell set-top boxes and TV sticks known as Kodi boxes, preloaded with the software.
The developers behind Kodi say their software does not contain any content of its own and is designed to play legally owned media or content "freely available" on the internet.
However, the software can be modified with third-party add-ons that provide access to pirated copies of films and TV series, or provide free access to subscription television channels and programmes, including sports events.
The English top flight League is currently undertaking its biggest ever copyright protection programme.
Its anti-piracy efforts have also contributed to a range of prominent apps and add-ons being closed down as the law catches up with them.
"This blocking order is a game-changer in our efforts to tackle the supply and use of illicit streams of our content," said Premier League Director of Legal Services, Kevin Plumb.
"It will allow us to quickly and effectively block and disrupt the illegal broadcast of Premier League football via any means, including so called 'pre-loaded Kodi boxes'.
"The protection of our copyright, and the investment made by our broadcast partners, is hugely important to the Premier League and the future health of English football."
A recent poll of 1,000 people for BBC 5 live Daily found:
Nearly half of fans say they have streamed a match online through an unofficial provider - just over a third do so at least once a month and about one in five at least once a week
The main reasons include a friend/family member doing it and they just watch; the quality of the stream; and because sports TV packages are considered not good value for money
Just under a third of fans do not know whether it is illegal to stream live Premier League matches online from unofficial providers, but another third believe it is always illegal.

VPN or DNS service will fix that.

Would streams from America also be affected by that? Fox sports etc?

I took out a subs for vpnarea and it works good.
If I want to watch rte or tv3 content on ios, then the tv stations player web page says I have to use a separate player which is only downloadable from the Irish Apple Store.
As I don't live in Ireland, that's not possible.
Is there some other way to install the players? or do I have to subscribe to the Irish apple store in order to downl the players?
I could use the irish server on VPNarea, plus a different email address and register using the name from a friendly credit card not currently reg with apple, that seems a lot of work just for a couple of small free apps.

It's the court orders, all IPTV providers in U.K. are struggling with it but it's not affecting ROI... I know the crowd I'm with are actively pursuing it and have been testing a workaround, I'm on their mailing list and although not affected I receive updates as to what they're doing.
I presume not being able to set up a payment system is also down to nobody being willing to take Sportsmania on?

Who has the best deals for iptv for either a zgemma or a mag box. The deal I am with is ok but buffers a lot and channels don't always work. I have tried to contact my providers but am getting no joy and I have also tried to sort it myself but when I have codes in it says my box is down

Diffucult to figure out whats going on with Sportsmania. Payment processor has been down for quite a while now so cant take on new subscribers. Meanwhile current subscribers whose sub is running out are being given free week at a time subs until payment issue has been sorted.
On top of that they arent able to show the PL games as they did last year. They have however told subscribers that the matches can be viewed on their Matchday section on Kodi. That worked last week but the 3pm games arent working this afternoon. They also took down their FB page this week which was very useful for advice/assistance but became populated with ones complaining about the service of late!!

It's the court orders, all IPTV providers in U.K. are struggling with it but it's not affecting ROI... I know the crowd I'm with are actively pursuing it and have been testing a workaround, I'm on their mailing list and although not affected I receive updates as to what they're doing.
I presume not being able to set up a payment system is also down to nobody being willing to take Sportsmania on?
Diffucult to figure out whats going on with Sportsmania. Payment processor has been down for quite a while now so cant take on new subscribers. Meanwhile current subscribers whose sub is running out are being given free week at a time subs until payment issue has been sorted.
On top of that they arent able to show the PL games as they did last year. They have however told subscribers that the matches can be viewed on their Matchday section on Kodi. That worked last week but the 3pm games arent working this afternoon. They also took down their FB page this week which was very useful for advice/assistance but became populated with ones complaining about the service of late!!
Mobdro wasn't working too well for me either today. Don't know if it's a coincidence but streams were very erratic
-
Mania are saying they'll have all sorted in 3 weeks!! Here's hoping!!

My stream for the Liverpool game today was perfect. Buffered a bit for the first 10 mins but was great from then on.
-
Ur man Willo who seems to be the boss man at SM passed comment on the difficulty of getting a new payment processor on their Facebook page some weeks back. I took him to mean that being illegal companies were reluctant to take them on.. Any IPTV crowd I tried have simply being using PayPal friends and family and the guy I settled on has told me never to renew without checking the payment details are the same ;D

Who did you use for IPTV and does it work? My ManiaHD runs out this month. I see a few IPTV subs being listed on twitter ranging from £35 to £70 for the year.
-
I'm reluctant to share mine because I'm afraid the more users it gets, the more issues there'll be :) Team ExPAt is who I use. $25 for 3 months, $2.99 per month for an extra 'line'. It has a significant Video on Demand section, and the Live TV has sections for NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, 'Live Now' Boxing etc, Premier League etc etc.
They had problems with payment renewals a few months ago, but now it's fine with Stripe, Bitcoin and Paypal.
-
I use Sportsmania.
Downloaded a VPN for the Firestick last night and it's working grand now.
-
Which VPN did you yet Gs?
I am on BT and also use Sportsmania. I've found it more difficult to find a good stream, but I've always found one. Definitely not as good as last year as you have to search around a bit more, but I still always get a good stream.
I am in the North btw.
-
I'm in the north and on BT too. Everything had been perfect for me up until the weekend.
I downloaded IPVanish. It's on the app store on the firestick so it's easily found.
You do need to sign up for an account first using your phone/laptop or whatever. It was something like $8 or $10 for a month, but I'm hoping Sportsmania will sort their issues out and I can cancel it in a couple of weeks time.
Watched the game last night on a Bein Sports channel. Some of the others buffered a bit.

I saw on another site for anybody wishing to sign up to IPVanish, there is a code to get 50% off the full year package. Think it works on 5 devices. The code is "PRIVACYFIRST" and expires midnight on 23AUG. Should bring it down to 30 something dollars for the year.
I haven't any VPN myself, but might look about getting this one to see how it goes.
-
Good man. Must check that out.
-
Yes. Got that deal yesterday. Tested out last night on city game. Set my address to Netherlands and got the match.

I think the blocking is really only during Premier League games so be the weekend before you get a true test Gaffer.
-
Aye but the City game was Premier League.
Mania hoping to have problem solved shortly though.
-
The block has been affecting me the past two weekends on zgemma, but then after all channels are available again. I could see the City game on Monday night so I'm wondering if they just didn't bother with the block for the one game.
-
The block should affect the McGregor fight should it? just expect high volume on the servers.
-
The block only applies to Premier League games
-

The block, as I understand it, blocks the servers that SM runs on during premier league games, possibly all weekend. My on demand section wouldn't run last Saturday afternoon.
-
Never had a more frustrating night with sportsmania. Can't get a single link to play for more than about 3 mins for the villa match. Maybe it's because of the matrix tv app.
-
Mine is working perfect.

Dont get it myself the football is perfect tonight but couldnt watch 2 seconds of the golf last night - strange
-
I've been trying this week to get my head around how when the block is on a server like Sportsmania they manage to differentiate between UK and non U.K. traffic??

privateinternetaccess.com is $39.95 per year. there were good instructions on the web for installing it on my enigma 2 box.
currently trying out a few IPTV trials as my previous supplier did a runner when the sh*t hit the fan on the first EPL weekend of the season. thankfully I was only paying monthly.
-

It's the UK ISPs blocking access to the servers - that's what the court orders.
-
Tested out in Belfast today with the DNS service I use in Spain to access iPlayer/Netflix etc. No good. Works on my phone though, so will hotspot it to my Fire TV for the fight tonight.

Is your subscription up?
Ah maybe. I will check
Yep it's my subscription. But when I go to renew I don't see the news pack offer I usually get. Only a subscription for 10 euro for 14 days. ? Anyone subscribed lately?
Type the words 'Imwaiting' in the voucher code box.There is a problem with renewing subs at the moment. That code will get you two free weeks.
Cheers Laoislad your a legend. That worked. Thanks.
Anyone know if this has changed. A mate is looking it for the Utd game. Imwaiting isn't working now
-
interestingly i hooked up my openbox again today for the first time in several months and you can still get all the BT channels plus Eir Sport. just watched the Utd game with no block whatsoever.

Is anyone else having issues with kodi. I can't access tv shows or movies on covenant. It lets me into the menu but won't bring up anything after that. It's the same on bennu.
-
Working ok for me
-
Think my router was blocking it. Changed settings and its working now through the search menu but won't give me any options when I go into the people watching section.
-
I see the latest code from Sportsmania is "Standbymania". Wonder does that mean they still hope to get back up and running?
Anyone here able (and willing) to recommend an IPTV provider?

It's hard to know alright. That latest code hasn't worked for me. I'm not on Twitter or Facebook so if anyone gets another can you post it here. Cheers.

Ive been asked by a friend to update his firestick kodi for him. He wants a build put on it. Any recommendations? i havent used a build since i put sports mania on mine so i'm well out of the loop as to which ones are good.
-
I had the Beast Build on my firestick, but it took up so much space and crashed quite a bit.
Basically I just stripped everything off it except the add-ons that I use. Works great that way.
So, I'd recommend no build....
-
I no build on mine either - just runs Exodus
-
I no build on mine either - just runs Exodus
Same here, had the beast and another fancy looking build and whilst they were easier to navigate they kept wiping Kodi and themselves off the firestick
I just run Exodus and Sports devil on their own, no fancy front ends and its better for it.
-
I 100% agree but this lad is a tube and wont listen ::)
He's used to a build. He's also as tight as a crabs ass and wouldnt fork out for sportsmania. Would rather search through the free streams. The pulse build is my current thinking for him.
-
One that takes up the least amount of space on your firestick for defo!
-
I remember a while ago The Beast had a firestick specific build with less crap on it. Might see if that is still available (or something similar)
-

Spend time searching through free streams which will probably buffer anyway rather than pay £4.50 a month for mania. Christ he is tight. I d watch him when it comes to buying his round!!!

sounds like you know him ;D

Update: I googled "best kodi build" and it came up with one called Fire TV Guru. I decided to install this for the lad. When doing so i noticed that they have a "lite" version so that went on. Looks death. should do him nicely.
-
Anyone have a Real Debrid account?
I have one, but every so often my firestick seems to "forget" my Real Debrid account and I have to go through the process again of reauthorizing the account on my Firestick.
Anyone know why it's doing this?
I'm not updating my Firestick or anything like that.
-
Just got a firestick. Any easyish steps to get it set up with Kodi etc for movies, sport, tv. I'd be decent with technology but haven't a clue what I'm at here and there's a lot of pages to scroll through. Thanks in advance for any help.
-
Use Apps 2 Fire from an android phone or tablet to install Kodi. Google whatever add ons you want.
-
I’ve drifted away from Kodi a bit since I got IPTV but this guy used to the go to man and I assume it’s still the same.

It's a two week code this time but is a week old so hurry as they limit them.
They were on Twitter taking about it yesterday and looks like the solution they're trying to set up might be bitcoin based.

What exactly is the problem anyway? Can they not just use PayPal or similar.
-
I imagine it's that the service is illegal and a massive copyright breach so no reputable payments provider will enable them.

I just used this code myself despite not having used the previous codes. seemed to work ok (will check if it plays when i get home). My sub ran out a couple of months ago and tbh i had sort of given up on sportsmania. have the streams still been of a decent quality? is a VPN required for football?
-
Yep still decent. Prob a minute delay on the real thing but does that really matter.
-

iptv and streaming can be anything from 30 secs to 2 minutes behind 'real time'

If the quality was good enough would that really be a dealbreaker? Mine tends to run about 30/40 secs behind.
Publican up the road from me recently got a box in and couldn't figure for a good while why the bets he was attempting to place for his customers were constantly being refused for being late :)

What’s working and not on Kodi? I’ve not used it since I got IPTV as it has all the Live sports/boxsets I need. The mrs however who’s not a great tv watcher in fairness just can’t figure it out ::). She was able to use Kodi on the android box I had so was going to update it for her to catch up with her series over the long winter nights. Do Real Debrid and trakt still work?
Thanks in advance, it’s only a few months since I used it but I know it’ll have changed considerably
-
Covenant is the new exodus, that’s all I know!
-
Kodi hasn’t changed for me. Films and sports working normally.
Sportsmania is having trouble with streaming premier league matches and their payment system is down so they can’t take on new subscribers.

Covenant , exodus, terrarium TV. Take your pick
In other news Sportsmania have finally got their payment system up.
You can only pay by Bitcoin and it’s 10 dollars per month. You can only buy a month at a time. Subscribers are generally up in arms. Price has nearly doubled and you need to purchase a VPN if you wish to view Premier League games.

And how does one acquire bitcoins?
Does that VPN rule only apply to The UK? I've had no problem watching Premier League games up to now.
-
VPN - there is a court order on behalf on the Premier League that blocks the internet service providers in the UK to prevent access to sportsmania during designated periods. This is generally during Saturday and Sunday PL matches. If using a non-UK ISP, you should be fine. For now at least.
BTC can be bought pretty easily these days. Coinbase.com probably the easiest but there'll be transaction fees on the purchase of the BTC from euro/sterling and then BTC fees when paying sportmania.

You re not the only one saying this. Time for another premium sports app. Anyone know any?

I’ve said it on here before but there’s no need for anyone to be relying on Sportsmania as their go to source for sport anymore. Numerous IPTV tv providers provide similar/better services at comparible prices.

The best TV Box to buy is Zoomtak. (Zoomtak.net) They are updated from the Zoomtak server so even if you mess up the configuration they just log on and download the latest configuration. If you are using WiFi to connect (from your router to your telly) you need to get the latest version 802.11AC and not 802.11n/b/g. Why? Because in a few years you will need to be streaming in HD / 4K resolution, if not already.
802.11ac is the new kid on the block and any other is a waste of money.

thanks for the share Bud - they have a lot of different versions for sale - what are your thoughts on the best one to buy?
My original raspberry Pi is dead and buried and I'm in the market for something easier
-
What sort of money are they? I spent something like 50€ on the ones I have now, and they have worked great for a year. I notice one of them is calving now, so I might have to replace it, but I don't want to spend €100 if I don't have to.
-
Of course, if you are connecting direct into your telly from an Ethernet (LAN) cable/socket the issue of WiFi does not arise and in which case the Vplus is a good buy. Generally, take the amount of dollars quoted, do the euro conversion. Then add 33% (to allow for 23% Vat, Duty & Freight) You will need a minimum of 5 people to order a minimum Qty. of 5 units. That;s all the help I can give. Ordering some tomorrow so let me know.
-
Cheers bud.

Ok, I have put some of the goings on here on a webpage for you to see. Breaking all the rules by disclosing trade prices etc but , really I care more about you being ripped off than the trade. I have an old Zoomtak and I watched Katie bate your wan last Saturday. Any match or film. The best thing about Zoom is that you can mess around with the configuration, install your own dashboard, follow videos on YouTube with Confgurations and then, if it all goes pear shaped you are back to log on to their server and just click on Upgrade and you have a perfect dashboard again anyway.

The price quoted is probably based on minimum order qty of 50 or 100 units
Cheers BW. Is there a minimum download speed you need for this? My speed is pretty ropey!

I’ve not been on myself but did see a few posts on another forum I frequent asking a similar question to yours..

I’ve said it on here before but there’s no need for anyone to be relying on Sportsmania as their go to source for sport anymore. Numerous IPTV tv providers provide similar/better services at comparible prices.
On the look out for one. If you know any that you know do the business well can you post here?
Starting using fabiptv tonight. Saw it recommended om a thread on reddit.Bought the £2 48hr pass to see what's it like. Watching Liverpool game here and it has been perfect so far.
I like the fact you can just subscribe to a sports package as I wouldn't be bothered with any other channels.
I reckon I'll sign up to it for the long term and give sportsmania the boot.

It’s only £20 extra a year for the full package why would ya not take it? I’m not sure what it covers as I use a diff crowd but I’d imagine it should have a full VOD service you will hardly ever need Kodi again. If you really just want the sport I can point you in the direction of a decent one fir £30 a year

had the same problem, I just cleared the cache and providers in the settings part and that has done the trick

That iptv I signed up for can be used via an app on my smart tv. Tried it out there last night and it works perfectly.
Don't even need to use an android box now as it will all be controlled via my TV smart remote. Very handy indeed.
Only works on Samsung and LG tvs apparently.

Have the same on my Samsung - it's great

I can do the same with the IPTV I subscribe to. It's very handy.
What app are you using?? The one I use is SIPTV. They give you a free weeks trial. After that it's a one off payment of 5:50. Well worth it.

Yep i've been doing the same for over a month now. I use the smart IPTV app on my LG TV. No problem with the football last night and no need for a VPN. I just searched for a few providers on Twitter (seems to be loads of them). Did a few trials and then picked one.

Coming back to the question I was asked, (I am well aware Laoislad that you dont need a box with a smart TV, Fair observation on your part) the tech from Zoom came back this morning and provided the spec for the latest release as below:
Note: The throughput/bandwidth of the Ethernet connection is 1GB so if you have good broadband, ideally fiber and a 4K TV then this is the job for you because streaming a 4K film through a 10/100mbps TV or over WiFi will not give the same results, especially as the quality of streaming, including 3D becomes more advanced.
Also, for the record, I am not trying to sell these here, I have given the information that I am aware of from years of selling boxes along with the cost price from the supplier so whether you don't need a box or you do need a box I couldn't give a flying. If you do need one then form a group of 5, and buy 5 minimum Qty or if you wish you can buy one off me at the same price as I buy it for.
Main reason for Pic: Lady confirms that the model I suggested DOES have 802.11AC Wireless protocol and that being so it is 5 times faster than the oldeer versions that are becoming redundant, and will be in 2018. You may need to upgrade your router = GOOGLE "Krack Attack" or see new thread

Yeah SIPTV that's the app. As Geoff said I had to pay a small one off fee.
Delighted with it as I never knew you could do that. I've an LG also.

For a house would a single Cat 6 cable at each tv point along with coaxial cable be sufficient to run this system?

Would be carefull about something like that as companies get shut down all the time. I went for oober tv a while a go and got stung 150 as it was soon shut down. Livetv is a free apk on android and works really well even more so when im abroad.

Seems OK but I can't see the full spec. An extra €25 for the mouse that comes with it is rough.
I'm with Zoomtak 5 - 6 yrs now. I don't have any problems, buffering is non existant etc. Like I said, if the spec does not have 802.11AC then if you are moving it from room to room/telly to telly it will not be a great buy. After that it is down to chipset, making sure it has aluminium housing (heat sink to stop heat build up) and a decent chipset.

The next protocol to be released. or is released is 802.11AC Wave 2, so, whatever about not having it, if you buy something with older wireless than 802.11AC as close to 2018 as we are you are not buying a product that will give you the best return in a years time if you are depending on WiFi.

Anyone got a link for epg to work on iptv?
What device you using?
Perfect player via firestick
Sorry, not a device I’ve used for IPTV so could be talking out of my hole (not for the 1st time) but did whoever you provided you with your m3u URL not provide an EPG url? I know you can download EPGs online but would have no clue what might be a reliable source..
Yeah was provided initially but now has stopped working and can’t get in touch.
Don't know if this is any help but it came up on another forum I use
There is a way to get epg on the cheapo sub via perfect player but it takes some fiddling about.
On perfect player go into the settings, under the bit where you put in your playlist is a box saying EPG1.
In this box enter the following http://tvguide.uk.to/epg/uk.xml
Go back to your channel list and you should see the epg start to download.
It will connect with a few channels but not with all, for those that it doesn't you have to manually assign the channels as shown in this video

Couldnt get covenant to play anything for me at the weekend there. Resorted to casting from MoviesHD on my phone. Should i now be using a different movie addon?

Signed up to fabiptv and have got it working on my smart tv-great job. thanks for all who recommended.
what's the best way to configure the epg?

Covenant , exodus, terrarium TV. Take your pick
In other news Sportsmania have finally got their payment system up.
You can only pay by Bitcoin and it’s 10 dollars per month. You can only buy a month at a time. Subscribers are generally up in arms. Price has nearly doubled and you need to purchase a VPN if you wish to view Premier League games.
Sportsmania are now going back to card payments today (and six month subs) as droves were leaving due to price increase and the Bitcoin payments. Interesting to see will they revert to previous prices
-
I left sportsmania as I got fed up waiting for them to sort themselves out - don't be put off by that though - when its working its very good and its v flexible, ie. work well on phone/laptop/android app/kodi etc
I moved on to a dreamlink T1 plus and an IPTV sub. The EPG is miles better than anything I've had so far - recording works well as well.

I’d say Sportsmanias goose is cooked, people have had 6 odd months to look at the alternatives a lot of which are superior... Any good IPTV sub should be every bit as flexible as Sportsmania

http://www.techradar.com/news/kodi-add-on-covenant-and-others-shut-down-in-face-of-legal-action
Addons have always come and gone but if the underlying 'magic' that holds it all together is being hit its definitely bad news!
A number of high-profile, hugely popular Kodi add-ons have been forced to shutdown due to legal threats against a developer in the Kodi community.
Add-ons including Covenant, Bennu and DeathStreams have ceased to function properly, as the creator of their underlying Colossus repository (the software that allows them to source and make sense of videos hosted across the internet) ended operations on his part of the chain. This includes the development of the URLresolver and Metahandler software which many third-party apps rely on.
The developer, known as jsergio123 online, was said to have been hand-delivered a cease-and-desist letter in the UK from the MPA/MPAA's Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment. Among the content providers cited in the letter threatening legal action were Disney, Sky UK, the Premier League, Netflix and Amazon, as well as a number of movie studios.
The action has been called for by the rights holders as the likes of Covenant can be used to easily find pirated entertainment materials, like films and TV shows, through Kodi. And, while Kodi itself as an open-source piece of software can legitimately and legally be used as a home media center, the likes of Covenant are built with the almost sole express purpose of giving access to copyrighted materials.
It's unclear yet as to whether another developer will take up the mantle left by jsergio123, but it's not the most attractive project given the legal risks. Following a series of similar takedown notices and legal efforts, it seems the tide may be finally turning against the Kodi pirates.

Ha, was trying to install Covenant last night and the repo was down. Some googling revealed all that which was disappointing. However, it also pointed me in the direction of Poseidon, which is a pretty good movie/TV add on

Hasn’t it been said here in the last page or so that they dropped the bitcoin scheme and are taking PayPal? Read back a couple of pages other options are mentioned..

Card payments were up for couple of days. Couple of mates were able to sign up. Taken down then because they had been ‘ reported!!’
