    I got a Droidbox and I thought I got all the footy free. It has loads of apps to click on and when I tried the ones for the footy it came up that I had to pay some subscription fee. When I was googling for an android box they said these were free but it seems since then they charge.
    Is this box you linked a sort of plug and play, just click on to an app and choose your game or do you have to go through some procedures and load other things in.
    With this Droidbox I was just getting nowhere slowly.
    It was pre loaded with some stuff but (to me) it wasn't straight forward.
    What I'm trying to say is, is this box you recommend one I can plug in and click onto an icon then choose a game.

    If you've got an android tablet you've got an android box. Just need to connect to your tv and run your tv apps. I went for a tablet instead of the box because it doubles as device for my lass to use so I'm never kicked of the laptop.

    Yes, its as simple as clicking on the app then picking which game you want to watch, the quality is not always brilliant but watchable. Its never something you pay for.

    Sky in a heartbeat for me.

    12 months into the godawful virgin "we'll record everything you've ever watched " programme, with added tosspot suggestions recorded and very little HD. Channel opportunity is poor also, but mainly I don't want a system that will record Spongebob Squarepants for me because I once watched a documentary on dolphins
