I use a really good Plex share. I pay about £4 a month. Don’t know how that compares but it’s fast and reliable with dedicated discord support.

You actually gave me the name of the last one I had, it was great. But the website is gone down. Kw so I can’t resub. I wonder if it’s still going.

I used it in the past as well and found it very good.  Like yourself when I went to subscribe again the site had changed, but the link that Graeme has posted works.

Shame that they don't allow downloads,for the price you'd expect them to and I also expected to see more content to be honest.

And this has to be a typo (from the discord)

To be fair I’ve never failed to find anything on there that I’ve searched for. The reliability is spot on, support is fast and friendly and there’s loads of 4K HDR content as well. I’m paying for content and reliability, not really bothered about a typo on the bandwidth requirement.

Netflix says 25mbps for 4K HDR and I think Amazon say 15mbps. Unless he just trying to cover himself for other people using the connection at the same time in your house

Play a file, click the 3 dots, Playback Settings, Quality. It'll tell you how much bandwidth it's using to play the file.

I doubt it's even close to 100mbit. They're probably just picking a number that allows them to blame the customers connection if it buffers.

Same, I didn’t mind paying an extra quid or two a month for decent content and reliability.

I queried the 100mbs download for 4K content when I first signed up ages ago and it’s not a typo, it’s just to cover themselves as there are too many factors to consider if someone starts buffering and they said most of their content plays fine on slower links. Any content that I played had no issues on my 70mbs link.

Probably just covering in case all device spots are being used.

I've taken the one week trial up, do they automatically add you to the Discord group? I've uploaded my ID and username to my profile on the AxFury site.

The trial is limited to 3 devices but when I try to play something on my mobile it says "Activate Plex" and then either Not Now or Activate.

Is this something I need to activate as well?

From what I remember I think I was automatically added to the discord group.

Have you installed the plex app on your phone and logged into your account? That’s all you should need to do, it may ask to activate at first logon, but never used it on my phone to be honest.

Yeah I've done that on my phone, logged in. Videos play for a minute and then stop and it asks you to pay a one off fee of £4.99 or to sign up to Plex Pass.

Will trial it all out over the week and if so might just do that if that means I can switch from TV in the morning, tablet on the train to work etc.

Just been having a look and it looks like the plex mobile app needs to be unlocked otherwise there are playback limitations when streaming from a Plex Media Server, which is probably what you are seeing. 

Have a look here.

Thanks a lot Graeme and jonnypb. So far, liking the look of it. The Plex interface is a lot nicer than Kodi.

I haven't used CinemaHD in absolutely ages so need to read through all the messages in the Kodi thread as there seems like there's some good suggestions in there.

With this Plex share, it's just VOD right, no sports/movies channels streaming etc?

Some of the streams on there are 4K blu ray rips so need way more than Disney/Netflix would for 4K streams.

I believe it’s tougher through plex since that guys server is where it all coming from. I can stream larger ones through real debrid but prefer doing it through plex since the app gives a more Netflix like experience. You have to pay a bit more but I think it’s worth it. Haven’t used cinema hd in ages because of that and because vod from IPTV providers is very usable on tivimate.

A big plus for me is watching older stuff on plex. I find it far more reliable for that compared to cinema etc where the links are shit or there are none.

Plex service I use is just properly intergrated now as my on-demand option.

Started a rewatch of the Wire, my first watch was downloaded and solid but eh arsed mate, this I plonk my arse down and hit play with subtitles and it's HD, neat

f451.cc

Art loads instantly, media loads instantly, maxes out my connection. Has absolutely everything, 4K 4K movies, 2K DV, 70K regular, 17K TV shows.

It's a Sherman Tank service but they have an EU service should one subscribe.

There's a few options with Plex services but my cord was cut and subscriptions cancelled long ago. Between this and IPtV I consider my viewing needs solved.

Plex is great, I use two, one is a shared account I got through my iPTV provider, cost £30 for 12 months and it's restricted to just the one TV.

The other is my own Plex account and it cost £10 per year and I can have it on as many TVs as I want but can only watch it on one at a time, they do have other options though that allow it on multiple TVs for a higher cost.

The first one has more films and TV series but the second one is growing and they have a discord service where you can request something and if it's available they will add it.

Love Plex
However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.

Yeah you're right & you still have to rely on the base app for RD,which up until the past week (found new Cyber and CHD) were beyond hit and miss.I love it due to the DL option on your account page.

It's the same as any IPTV really (as in reliant on their server),just called plex share because of the app.

Most iptv subs say that the vod is a bonus but there's a few VOD subs now that have added iptv as a "bonus",not tried one yet but will be doing when my RD runs out,the one I've looked at has over 70000 movies

The one you've recommended has so far been fantastic. I did the free week trial and have now taken up a month with them. I've found everything on there I've searched for and also the quality has been excellent.

Now dreading the day I wake up and it's gone.
