I could do with some help chaps. All the above has gone right over my head. Yesterday I tried loading sky sports onto my fire stick via kodi using you tube clips and as predicted I would have had more chance screwing Linda lusardi. I did manage to get some of the sky sports channels but the quality was ****. Any advice lads or would it be better getting one of these things through Andy?
Sportsdevil is suppose to be one of the better 'thingys' (don't know the terminology). I had some success with it, but picture quality has deteriorated and sometimes even finding a working stream/ buffering. Recently even films have become unstable, which initially they weren't. The only change to my set up is moving onto lightstream! Sometimes I may have to try a dozen different streams before I find a working one. I did have a shortcut installed at one point, but I do find the number of clicks/scrolls to get to a channel annoying. Even if you at lucky with the first channel, its getting on for 20 clicks. When everything was working, was a small price to pay, but for a stream which is likely to disappear quickly, sometimes isn't worth bothering with. Was at the point of reordering sky, but I am determined not to line Murdochs pockets. Look Back in Ambers contact is looking good though. Sorry not much help there Over 18, all about me,me,me
Kodi is software for you pc, phone, laptop, firestick that if configured properly gets streams from the internet. Quality will depend on the capacity of the servers and your broadband bandwidth. Have a look on youtube how to download 'The Beast' build. Zgemma and openbox are totally different from kodi. They are satellite receivers that receive 'free to air' programmes e.g. BBC and ITV , freeview through a dish. They can receive SKY channels but of course these are scrambled. To descramble you need to have certain 'codes' put onto the box and subscribe to a pirate service sending these codes to your box every few seconds. The descrambling codes are changed every few seconds by SKY hence why you need the box permanently connected to your broadband to receive the codes from the pirate server. My understanding is the zgemma is better than openbox because the TV guide on the zgemma replicates the blue SKY menu. The openbox although cheaper doesn't have the blue sky menu. My recommendation is to get zgemma inc a years sub from the website mentioned in earlier posts. Remember anything of this nature is not guarranteed to last the full 12 months from anybody.
Edit : broadband suppliers have been told by the courts to block certain web sites streaming films and sport. They do block them. So sometimes making some kodi 'channels' unusable. A VPN service may help but that's a different story. It's all a game of cat and mouse between the media giants and the pirates.
Very true, I used a local service previously, purchasing a Technomate Twin OE box, thinking it would be easier if things went pear shaped. How wrong I was, it turned out she was a bit, well a lot actually, of a loony, her servers crashed and people obviously needed her help, instead she just went on her Facebook page and had a bit of a mentalistic expletive fuelled rant about people being worse than kids and that were bothering her too much. I'd paid her £300 for the box including a years sub, she was charging between £80 and £100 per year, as opposed to £20 from Andy! She has no website, uses Facebook under a pseudonym to promote her wares, and gives no contact number out. You live and you learn! Hopefully my bad experience will save others time and money. This was the point that I decided to dump the box - I still have it if anyone can make use of it - that she'd supplied and turned to Andy who has been providing these boxes, and his subscription service, much more reliably and at a cheaper price, for years.
Also have a zgemma , been fine until recently getting alot of freezing and pausing which the guys currently trying to sort out He uses the ccam line which like somebody mentioned isnt the most up to date
Give Andy a go when he's back from his holiday on the 19th, he'll give you a free 48 hour test line with no freezing, no lagging and no pausing. After that it's £20 a year.
