Anyone know how to put a line on an Amiko mini combo box??? Seems a totally different set up than zgemma.

Was going to get my folks an android box - but they have a sky dish so wondering should I look at a Zgemma instead?

Any advice more than welcome....

Any advice more than welcome....

I have got an android box and had Flawless IPTV on it, always been abit wary of the Zgemma with Sky Sub and not sure why but finally took the plunge and ordered a Zgemma H5.2S and set it up myself, got a sky sub for £15 for 12 months after a recommendation from a guy on here and haven't looked back.

I had a few problems setting it up but with help from guys on here and from the tech kings forum I got there in the end.

Nothing against gays, but if there was ever a gay fighter David Haye would be one. He showed nothing! He had all the talk beforehand and he went in there and acted like a bitch!"

If you get a the cable box, you should research in cable boxes, you could be paying 80 a year for every channel in HD.

Nope. More like a Zgemma H2H - around about £85 for the box and around about £50-80 for a cable line.

My set up is a Zgemma H2S (Which is sky dish) I pay £10 a year for a sub which is all channels (Bar HD) and IPTV which I use Flawless - Which is all UK, US, Movies, Few other International Channels, NBC Sports, BEIN Sports, Ace Sports all HD for around £60 a year.

All in all I'm paying about £70 a year, for all UK, US, French Channels, as well as other IPTV services such as Watchseries and Icemovies, 4k Movies for free built in.

I couldn't be happier.

Wow that's amazing mate, how do I acquire one of those? Do they connect through the cable that's connected to my virgin box already?

Ebay/Amazon. Yes, you just need to plug your cable into the box, and bobs your uncle.

Look on Techkings for more information.

Working perfectly. I'm not on computer at the moment, but they've changed Facebook addresses. So look for a PM later tonight. I'd sign into your account on a computer make sure it's still active first and foremost.

Been perfect since I've had it.

Hopefully this is the right thread.

If I pay for BT Sport HD, do I have to also pay for the non-HD versions of their channels? Looking to cut back on my payments with regards to sport in general.

Pretty sure if you pay for HD then the SD comes with it. Don't think you can just cancel SD and keep HD

He's responded last night. Apparently went missing for a few days. I've renewed but still have not received the details from him!

Cheers mate. It should be fine, just got worried as others were looking for him on there too. Hope he never goes missing as it's a great line.

I renewed my line with techguy over the weekend.  I tried contacting him for a few days an never rec'd a response.  I think it was the third day of trying to contact him, he replied explaining how much it was and where to send the payment too.  I sent the money via paypal, tho he didn't collect the money for a number of days.  I was worried about the lack of contact from techguy, listening to peeps troubles on here has me a bit worried.  Hopefully hes not going to take off!  I'll give him the benefit of the doubt tho.

As far as I know mate. I gave my box to my brother so will find out. He'd normally say something though

Shit. Just logged into cs kings. My line is with devilfish, not techguy. Apologies
