Assuming it connects to the box, Does Sky know you are viewing their programmes with dreambox, even if your system is not connected with telephone line? i wouldnt think so , but not 100% , ive ordered one of them android boxes its only £60 with delivery and it comes pre-installed with lots of apps et he said and i can watch bt sports and sky , not sure what the streams will be like though , but worth a shot it saves me streaming on laptop even if they are not great |

ill have it saturday so ill know then

let me no sat by pm chaser as i think my contract will run out sat or sunday with dreambox for year

and it has 100s films instaalled in it and it updates automatically with xbmc when you boot it up so films will change , im not really caring about the films tbh but might come in handy

Chaser, don`t want to disillusion you, but thats exactly what I bought but for only 40 quid. Thousands of films loaded on it but you spend a long time finding one that actually works. Wiziwigtv and the likes stream ok just like the computer but sky and subscription channels direct are blocked.

MXBox fully loaded with xbmc

only just set iv up and there is a lot of stuff on it so will need to play about with it to get the best out it
so far sky sports news is bang on time the clock matches mine , bt sports also works perfect its also got live tv bit . highlights but ( you can watch highlights from any game this weekend and perfect quality seems to have much more on it but will need to mess about with it , for £60 cant complain as reason i got it was to stop streaming on laptop , now i can watch and bet you can also surf the internet on it , so its basically a pc that connects to the telly |
|
By:
in the live tv bit its got all sky sports channels including f1 , fox sports, bt sports and more and all work. i seen ones at £40 also but i paid extra as i asked a few peple and they said sky didnt work so i bought one already preiinstalled.
if you click in sports its all sports channels in a list then if you want to watch say documentary go go back in click in there so you dont have to flick through all the every channel to find a certain channel. its got sky italia and all that also somewhere , cant be bothered readng the manual ill work it out myself  |
|
By:
theres france tv , german ,kazakstan and a lot more , all in all its got the channels i needed
just tried to load a few films and they loaded also the streams are in another file there is 12 different streaming sites built in |
|
By:
when you click in uk channels thats when it got all channels on sky basically , box nation eurosport, ss1-5 , premier sports etc , i think its got everything you neeed as een if a channel does go down you can just stream it of one of the 12 added streaming channels
|
|
By:
Where did u get this and how much mate? I think the streaming and sufing the net is great as my laptop has to go at some point as its overused already
|

ebay £60
im watching bilbao game just now and good quality ill send you link the one i got as was fast delivery ive tried loading films and all work , they are in year category or you can search for comedy , crime etc so easy to find. bbci player 40d etc all on it also , there is also lots of add-ons that i havnt had time to add yet , as i only really wanted for the sports. some links wont work but there is like 100 links for every game so you wont miss out on a game |

My box still going so will use it until it runs out, but how long does it last mate?
|
|
By:
sent pm bhoys . in hi description hes going n holiday tomorrow it seems and nothing posted unless order before 3pm i think , and hes off until the 12th
but there is many similar ones about if you cant order before then its got all the latest flms built in and in hd quality |
|
By:
this should last until box breaks as its all through the internet
|
|
By:
someone has obviously done a lot of work to get all the streams etc and make them all in one file , you can watch all the freeview channels etc on it also , i dont know what dreamboxes are like , but im happy with this at £60 as its just fr sports i got it and saves me streaming on laptop
there is no pop ups or anything like you get on streams online ,the bilao game was on canal+ and the quality was good enough for me |
|
By:
Thats great mate i will keep using mine until it goes then i will probably go for thsi
|
|
By:
just tuned into sky sports1 and loaded no bother
|
|
By:
excellent, can u record?
|
|
By:
i think so not 100% but im sure you can , not really read the manual just working it out myself, and control has fast forward rewind , ive really just checked the basic just now
you can connect mouse and keyboard to it , or buy it with it also , sots its like a pc in a way but with extra files in it but the control will do me |
|
By:
sounds grat mate, im pretty sure my box for a year will be 30 quid or less but i think that one u have is far more up to date, but im just worried what will happen if omething goes worng
|
|
By:
in highlights you can type in any team , i typed celtic its got highlights form liek 3 years worth of games
its got a-z tv programmes a-z films , new releases i seen mtv and that somewhere so will have all music channels , just need to get used to whats what , and make a file if favourite channels |
|
By:
superb mate, sound great
|
|
By:
with dreambox can you just flick through channel by channel or need to go back to menu to go into another channnel
fck knows how many channels are on this but its got arabic and all that , tbh sky,bt ,few films channels is all i expected box nation , premier sports also there also |

I've not read much of this thread, is it about the Apple box? My missus had one delivered this week so that she can stream films from her Ipad to to the telly. It was nice and easy to set up but it took a long time to get a film to play. I noticed other channels on there but I think you have to subscribe? I can't see it getting used.
|
|
By:
its like apple box but pirated to watch all channels
|
|
By:
well not even pirated really , just all streams been added into categortys
but there is hundreds of films in HD quality in another folder , new releases and older ones highlights from any game this weekend , ive only just set it up but for £60 ive seen enough already to make it worth it |
|
By:
its also got all you freeview channels in a folder which are normal quality also
|
|
By:
That sounds better than what we have.

lol i opened a winner account as you bet £5 you get £20 free bet
so im watching bilbao game hoping for 3 goals finishes 1-0 , i go into my account and i have £10.25 as i backed overs in osasuna instead plus got my £20 free |
|
By:
its got all your on demand channels also, channels on here i didnt even know existed
boz nation and premier sports i seen earlier but cant see them now as so many options , once i get the hang of if , it seems £60 well invested |
