The fire cube is more powerful so runs a lot quicker, easier menu navigation, it has more connection ports and you can control other devices using the fire cube remote. It also has a built in wired network connection as well as Wi-Fi I only pay for a vpn, with a few apps I can access more channels and movies than I have time for.
I’m going down to Blockbusters today to get a VHS if anyone wants to join me for a film and pizza later
Yeah this. I have just signed up to a new vpn, surf shark. Managed to get it for about 48 quid for 2 years. So mint deal. All services run better in a VPN. If anyone wants the referral code for the VPN to get free months I'll DM. Been really impressed with them. Just download the app, click VPN on and go to your device as use. Cube - good vpn - good service equals class experience.
I am still trying to get the Mrs to sack if paying for Disney, Netflix etc as our provider has them all. Just throwing money away. That said, been nice to have no sky for a couple of years.
I've never used a VPN for my IPTV - the guy who sold me my super duper fast fibre a few years back said they werent bothered what we do. never had any bother with it. We still pay for netflix and disney - despite me having access to newsgroups so I can download pretty much anything i want onto my server
I would get one, service providers are getting really pushed from sky / virgin these days and streams buffering, going down are nearly always down to ISP blocks. Vpns get round that. I was having an issue, got a good vpn, no issue at all. No blocks or buffering on a big game etc.
As has been said, 2 to 3 times more powerful than a firestick. I use ibpro player to get onto my account £70 for the year, all channels. I had to pay £7 for a lifetime vpn. Prehab26 I'm I missing out on something here?
Never had any issues so far tbh. If it starts becoming an issue then i'll look into it - not paying more when no good reason to at present.
I've never used a vpn either. There's one built in to my iptv which can be turned on/off as required, but I've never used it. I don't think my broadband provider (plusnet) are too fussed about it.
Decent that. The big ones are being canny brutal at the moment and I have noticed it loads with the quality of service. Ours has an inbuilt one but it's not great.
I know some in the group chat have issues with their service and need a vpn, but they're nearly always on sky or virgin broadband.
Yep the ones who have the odd problem with ours are sky or virgin customers. I'm with Grain, never had an issue.
