Sky up again

[Howsie]

Freeview along with an HDMI stick . 70mb broadband via virgin media.

 

[newcastle phill]

Freeview and for entertainment netflix.
Used to have sky and think its great but far far to expensive.

[PlumbBobBob]

which is better fire stick or mxq box please or are they very much the same ta muchly

 

[kay-jay]

I have firestick. It's great. My apprentice is a bit of a computer whizz so I bought it from argos for 35 quid and he loaded kodi on it for me. Absolutely everything is on there.
It takes a bit of getting used to and can be a touch frustrating when some of the links don't work.
Also if watching lice sports with a high demand lime pay per view boxing the streams are perfect for the under and but when everyone comes in from the pub for the main event and demand skyrockets the image suffers enormously.
We watch movies and tv shows mainly and for that it's awesome

I use Mobdro on my android phone then stream to my tv with google chromecast no setting up required just download from their website and watch straight away I use it for BT sport to watch Moto gp, I've got Kodi on my phone still trying to work out how to set it up!

 

[macackau]

I'm with Sky and my bill was about t go up to £66. Rang them and said I'm off to plus net and now TV. They said what about if we make it £31 a month!! Obviously I stuck with them.

have a look on ebay for android tv box, which will have kodi already installed.

 

[PlumbBobBob]

now got my box and it is looking good. have ditched paid for sky and gone to freesat from sky and gone to fibre broadband with them. mainly gone to freesat because the tv feeds on live tv weren't that good on the android box, however that could be my normal broadband is only about 2.4mbps.

 

[mutley racers]

I ditched virgin and have gone for the fire stick and installed kodi on it. Pretty good. HD quality on most tv programmes and some of the latest movies. Watched captain america civil war the other night and it was not bad

Missed this thread!!

I am on Virgin with 150mb broadband

I have an Amiko A3 box running android and Spark

I pay about £200 per year to a IPTV supplier and have all the channels you could ever want through a bespoke Kodi addon, every 3pm KO, all sky box office, all movies, foreign channels. They host them all on their servers so channels going down is really quite rare and its only a small set up so you can Facebook or tweet them and they will help you with any issues

I tried all the free add ons and got annoyed with all the crashing and broken links, found a month trail with these guys for about £20 and thought why not, and I'm about to renew for a year now

They have now even linked up with these guys: https://www.on-tapp.tv so it can look very pro! I have took this minor plunge yet mainly due to having the time

How much for the broadband Tom? I used kodi and just installed all add ons from husham. Great links I say. Watched a 3 pm kick off the other day but not the best quality. I have been looking into IPTV, you say it is worth it then?

£30 odd per month fit just broadband. I don't use a land line so no line rental. I did have it half price for 6 months as well I think.

IPTV is worth it IMHO. Do what I did and take a month out. Try it

Do you use the virgin media modem and wifi router? If so is it the super hub 2 and what is the connection like. I have the super hub 1 and it won't go through 2 walls. Only works in the room it is located in.

Yeh. Super hub 2. I'm in a 3 bed semi and it works all over including drive and garden. I sometimes have to use a VPN as virgin block some websites but all ISPs do that
