West Ham Online

"My Phoenix has somehow disappeared When I say disappeared, the main title Phoenix is there but the sub title Phoenix under it has gone Has anybody else seen this? It's my main repo for watching streams, so I'm a bit gutted Cheers"

"You can actually run Kodi on the new Apple TV 4, but given that the box is much more expensive than the FireTV, not sure why you would"

"bruuuno 12:25 Wed Feb 24 If you're clueless, then install Kodi on a Windows computer and play with it there to begin with. It's free and exactly the same as installing it on a box (only easier as you'll be using a keyboard that you're used to!). That way you can see which addons work for you - accessing 3:00pm matches, movies and other things that you might find interesting. You'll start to learn how Kodi works and how to install addons and then move on to installing it on another type of box plugged into your TV. If you get hooked on it and can manage the install side of things then decide how much you want to spend on a dedicated box. Personally I wouldn't get a stick, but a box with an Ethernet (network) port so that you can connect it directly to your router - or use Powerline adaptors to connect, rather than connect with WiFi. Some people get lucky with sticks that can only use WiFi, but it is typically the biggest cause of buffering, especially with HD streams. Like Mallard, I've got 3 Raspberry Pi's in the house - all connected by Powerline adaptors. Avor - if you go the Pi route, don't get the starter kit - buy the components mallard says separately. I've got the older Pi's and they handle 1080p HD with no problem at all."

Gentile 12:23 Wed Feb 24 Re: Kodi XBMC £45? You can get an MX box for ten quid cheaper on eBay. So many horror stories regarding MX boxes and the different suppliers providing crap gear. If you have a recomendation for a specific version and supplier i am listening! Also how easy are they to clear down all the shit that is loaded on them and reinstall new versions?

You can install it without a pc too. You can do it straight from the stick https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv7OTNN0ifo (Mobile link)

"Bruno yeah I have the firestick and can watch any prem game free, no buffering. Just YouTube 'how to install kodi on a firestick' it's simple and doesn't cost"

"Bruuno. Don't need to pay more, but there is some setup involved requiring use of a PC on your home network."

For that money Duke and Nvidia Shield is the way to go.

No probs yo!

Good info def cheers I'll keep me hard earned back in the biscuit barrel!

"DukeofDevo 12:31 - Don't get an ATV, KODI stopped updating software on them about a year ago. https://kodi.tv/farewell-to-future-appletv2-development/ Mind you if you do want to splash out 150 shekels then you can buy mine! ;-)"

I have no idea!

Jailbroken just means they have XBMC which is mostly pre installed when you buy online anyway isn't it ?

Anybody got one of the jailbroken Apple TV boxes with all this gubbins loaded on it! About £150 on eBay gets all the football and films sounds tempting!

If I get an amazon fire stick can I plug it in my telly and watch HD premier league games at 3pm etc? Do I have to pay extra to have a kodi? I'm clueless

£45? You can get an MX box for ten quid cheaper on eBay.

"AVOR 10:20 Tue Feb 23 I have 3 Raspberry Pi's running in my house, all hard wired to Cat5 to minimise buffering. Buy the Pi and case for 25, a 8gb min. SD card and a mini USB (Android phone) charger. Easy to upload operating system to card via PC"

I've used both successfully. Biggest difference...can get a VPN up and running on the PI through OpenElec. Conversely the Stick is a nicer remote/package if you don't need VPN...although arguably slightly more tricky to get Kodi setup on (although neither are hard).

Northern Sold ~ Thanks for the advice much appreciated I hadn't been doing that. I know that when ending a session everything must be properly closed down (1st thing I learned that I'd been doing wrong!)

"See the Raspberry Pi starter kit is available for £45 at the moment, anyone use this? How good is it when compared to the fire stick or fire tv?"

Jack.... just remember every day before usage go onto mainteance/Services and `purge packages' and `delete cache' and that's half the battle...

These boxes are absolutely the nuts I'm still finding my way round (& still have lots to learn) but I haven't yet missed a West Ham match on a good stream & watched dozens of great movies Well worth the Ôø?50 I paid for it Thanks Far Cough for the advice

"Ordered one of these today just shy of 80 notes to watch on my new UHD Thing is I've already got Sky+, BT, Boxnation etc in HD Mainly bought so I can watch West Ham 3pm games and the Quigg-Frampton fight on Sat Is it worth fucking about with for all those extra links, add on's etc if i'm already paying/subscribing to the above ?"

Is that stand alone then?

"Thanks Far, but I was talking about Showbox"
