Nvidia Shield TV box, it's a lot more expensive than the usual Chinese shite boxes, but it's excellent, there is also the Amazon Fire TV box which is also very good.

They are all much of a muchness I use the MXQ,although I use it less now as I discovered the Mag 250 it's the dogs bollocks just like using a normal remote and the iptv sub for the year was something like 70 dollars for every conceivable channel including a good "adult" section

BT Sport are all there but only SD for me.
I can give you the frequencies but kingofsat.net is good for all frequency/transponder changes (ps I just did a rescan when they went and tried all the BTs to find out which ones were active)

Hi mate, if you don't mind me asking where did you get your sub from? I'm looking for another cheaper sub for the bedroom. Cheers. PM me if needed.

Yea I know about kingofsat.net tried manually changing to get LFC back but still didn't work,that was a couple of weeks ago so might try again.Mind I'd rather have ESPN back than LFCTV though...

I've got an AMiko Mini Combo, it only has one HDMI port.

Wondering is it possible to connect up another TV to it? Maybe by splitting the HDMI into two or something? Anyone any suggestions?

Theres also a USB port at the side but I use that for WIFI antenna.

I've got one mate. £220 I paid and it's supposedly a £100 a year after that?

I'm not too up on technology so you may have to read between the lines of what I'm saying as I'm not up on the lingo. What I've found is that movies that are put up whilst on at the cinema and of poor quality don't seem to get updated. For instance, I've just gone back to December 2015 when Creed was added and the one that was originally put up is still on and still poor quality. I'd expect this to have been updated. Some stuff is great. Sky TV, is set out easily as Sky is with BBC1 on Channel 101 and so on. I've watched the boxing on PPV and not had one problem. BoxNation tends to be jumpy for me, though. The 'other' football channels vary on picture as expected but I can honestly say any game I watched on them before  the season ended did not freeze more than once, if that. Speaking to users of Kodi they've said that games jump/freeze for them but I'm not too up on Kodi, although, I installed it yesterday to my Firestick with Pulse. Will compare in time.

Back on the Blade, it does a lot of good stuff and has lot of content but it's little things that can annoy me like when I started watching Fresh Prince some episodes were unwatchable due to poor quality. I went to watch last years TUF and it has just been left and not updated so the last three or so episodes aren't available. End of the day, though, it's cheaper than Sky.

Is the Blade worth getting ahead of Kodi? From just looking at the set up of Kodi at this early stage and from what I've been told by a few Kodi users, probably, yes. That's from my personal preferences of set up.

I've said it before here but for iptv and vod get a Mag box for £60 and a decent sub for £10/month and you're laughing.

100% agree with dikwad on this one. If IPTV is all you want then get a Mag box and a decent sub.

I'll be honest mate, no idea what all that means. I can watch Sky, BT, Box Nation, SSBox Office and movies that are on cinema aswell as all the usual surrounding TV from UK and the world and foreign sports channels. If that helps?

Which service are you having problems with? If it's Sky, remember that BT Sport is now only available in SD on unofficial boxes now. VM is still showing in glorious HD though :)

Do you think these subs and boxes will be around for a long time or do you think they will eventually be shut down?

They've been around for a fair few years already and see no reason to indicate that situation will change.

My philosophy was that if my first box and sub lasted more than 6 weeks, I was still going to be in profit considering I was forking out £114 a month at one point for a multiroom package from VM :o

Zgemma H2 with 12 month VM: £155* (or £175 with VM and Sky sub)

I have a few zgemma boxes in the house running sky lines.  What does VM offer that sky doesn't?  Are VM lines added to the boxes just like sky lines? Wouldn't mind having sports in HD again! :)
