Off Topic Android Box

Yeah thanks just noticed that myself, do you think that's good value ?

 

you can use your smartphone or tablet as a remote with this.

it runs using openelec which is linux based and not android based. the same as the maizbox u mentioned earlier

 

Ah okay, so this box will do the same as the Maiz box but is £70 cheaper, sounds like a no brainer then

 

mine cost 30 for rasp pi - i had an sd card hanging around and any android phone micro usb charger 5v 2amp

looking at the list of things supplied - i reckon you could get then cheaper off ebay if your bought them separately £45-50.

cases are cheap as chips on ebay - if you can hard wire to router then thats better than wifi

 

Well for a tenner extra I could buy something predone which is good for me, and the router would be connected via Ethernet as its right there

 

if you don't fancy getting xbmc/kodi onto the sd card you can get them on ebay already configured

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8GB-Class...c-XBMC-KODI-/291418316460?hash=item43d9e29eac

buy the box £30
case £3
sd card £6
hdmi £1
ethernet cable (cat 6 if you can )£3 or edimax wifi £7

 

You know the cards, can you record onto to them? 8gb seems a bit small

 

get up to a 32gb if you like - you can record movies onto the space left after the operating system - you'll have about 25gb - movies are under 1gb normally

 

Thanks for the tips and help will have a look at Kodi on my PC tomorrow

 

any time - nbc sports extra is the way to go - a us vpn and you'll get every game

 

Cheers I will take a look at that

 

if you a need a hand with nbc pm me

if you take a look at

http://liveonsat.com

and click the english flag you can see which tv channels around the world that is broadcasting the swans games

you'll can then find them on kodi

 

Cheers will do

 

I'm off now pal, much beauty sleep is needed

 

Cheers me too

 

Kodi and Wookie are great, hell of a lot different to what I had previously

 

Glad to help matey

 

Been using Maze Box for nearly a year. Have to say it's great for TV series and films because you get to see stuff well in advance, but lately it's gone really poor for sports. Not sure why. If I can't get to a game I usually watch a feed through the PC.

 

Well it is for the sport I need mine for, the maiz box is £130 and the ones on eBay are around half the price for the same thing. So if I can't get sport very well I can still get films and series, I'll be happy with that. I only need football feeds for the away games though

 

It was great for sport when I bought it Jager but less so now. Highly recommended for everything else though.
