These Small Black Boxes for TV

johnizere i got quoted £80 and he said he can show me how it works etc , so im going to get that , was thinking of a dreambox , then i was going to get sky again for £80 a month , then i seen these £80 one for fee , ill take that thanks.

If i buy this android box unlocked i wont need to use laptop also will i? do i just connect box to internet and tv ad start streaming

one of fee*

Check out Mobdro.com on your Android phone (not available on the play store)

You can the "Cast" the pictures on that site to a Chromecast (costs around £18). Not hard to set up but remember you are getting the same streams as you'd find online and quality drops when it's on the big TV.

An XBox 360 and PS3 can also act as media streamers via Plex.

Chaser, no you won't need a laptop. The droid box sits near your tv like the skybox or whatever.
The feed comes off your broadband router, cable or wifi. Some say it's better with a lan cable connection,
but I don't know.

cheers for reply , the guy said it comes with a lot installed apps etc , tbh i dont care about all this memory and apps etc , as long as i get the sports im ok with tat but it seems like it comes with a sh1t load of stuff on it  , 80 quid cant go wrong , hopefully have it by saturday.

whats the quality like on the streams johnny

I've got a spiderbox.Its been great for over a year but its currently down.**** knows why

Sky trying to combat these boxes, they got a team of experts working on it.
Hope you all get caught and get 10 years n jail.

That night not be a bad thing actually as you'll get Sky for nowt in prison.

Miserable twaat

they have been trying to combat them for years

this box is just streams of the internet and lets be honest how many streams is there , one goes down 10 go up

they can never stop it completely

h does spiderbox work , via the internet or connect to sky dish?

just saves me having to search for best streams if i get this bix and at £80 its a snip , the boy stays in glasgow akabula if your interested lol

It plugs into the dish but also runs through the broadband router mate.You deffo need a dish.The picture is far better than a stream for that reason I guess. It's all a bit beyond me but It relies on the person running the server.
I've actually had the box for around 3 years but the first fella stopped doing it so I had to pay someone else.

Reminds me of the story of one of the girls I worked with.
Bought a box in the pub for £100 that would allow free phone calls.
She thought it the solution to her getting large bills from being on chat rooms.
You plugged the box into the phone socket and then the phone into the box.
"Don't use it all the time" the guy told her "Or BT will get suspicious".
So she only used it for the chat rooms but staying on much loner than usual.
She was in her glory until a bill for nearly £2k popped through her letter box.
All the box was was an extension

You would never know it was a stream by the picture but it sticks momentarily from time to time. I just prefer that to £100 per month .

As long as she got plenty of cokk action on chat rooms I guess she got her doughs worth.

As long as she got plenty of cokk action on chat rooms I guess she got her doughs worth

I doubt that.

chat rooms are old school that must have may a long time ago , or do people still use them

hitman i have a dish so that would be ideal for me , i was going to get sky back in but £80 a month and you dont even get bt sports , with this streaming box im sure ill get games all over the world not just english p1sh

plus should get all the boxing

Was a while ago chaser, probably more than 10 years ago.
BTW it was bought in an Edinburgh pub, so beware.

In the early 70s I bought a state of the art radio that was made in Russia. The best radio I ever owned, way before it`s time. You could listen to most radio stations anywhere in the world. Reception was best in Winter and if you opened the window a little, you got Chile.

You can get all sorts if you can be **** to tune it in. I just stick to sky and bt but yes you can get boxing in demand.

mac did you ever get one of these

reason i brung this thread  up as its only one that i could find with droid box in it in the search

Yes mate, I bought an xbmc loaded box on Ebay for forty quid. Brilliant but at times the feeds are not available. Thousands of movies and tv series available in HD quality. Sky and RUK I only get audio?

[i]Yes mate, I bought an xbmc loaded box on Ebay for forty quid. Brilliant but at times the feeds are not available. Thousands of movies and tv series available in HD quality. Sky and RUK I only get audio?[/i]

That's a feckin radio you've bought.

40 nicker for a radio

im going to get the £80 one comes pre-loaded with all channels apparently , 14 day money back he says , but you cant trust those ebayers

theres is plenty im trying having a good scroll through to make sure i dont end up with a radio though

ebay jailbreak droid box thats what your after

i think my subscrtiption runs out at start of next month for my box so insted of phoning the guy for nother year can i get it online, a guy at my footy team does this but wont ee him till next week as no game this week

bhoys im going to order the android box there only £80 and its a one of fee , ill let you know when i get it if streams are decent quality , i cant find any dream box in my area and the guy i was going to get dream box off now does these

mate whats the difference?

not sure , i think it could be the same except you dont pay a yearly fee

has dreambox got sky italia and the american channels etc

has fast forward rewind etc , i think it has youtube and you can check emails and download apps etc

all i want is sports dont care about the rest lol

these dont connect to dish you connect to phone socked , they are wireless but he said a cable is better for speeed

no it doesnt have sky italia and all, i can get youtube and youpo rn tho but never used them

this has adult channels not sure what ones , just saus if you dont want adult channels may take longer to come as i have to delete them

hopefully have ti set up for saturday and ill find out what i can get , could be  lot of p1sh

if it is then its ill need to try a dream box of ebay , how much do you pay a year?

happy days, i think mines due to run out sat or around that, pretty sure i got a years subscription last november, i paid 150 quid for a year and 30 the last time as he said i deleted my line, not sure i did but was 30 for a year anyhow so expoecting something simailar again

what you mean deleted your line , did he give you it £30 for a year

i duno mate, i downgraded my internet and 2 days later my box stopped working, perhaps the caught onto it and deleted it but whatever happened i had to pay 30 pound for a year and has been no problem since

how long was it down for after it went down

its unreal that not many people have them , well not over here anyway , i think ive only ever knew 2 people with them and that was pirated virgin boxes not dreambox.

i think if i get it a few mates will also as i dont think many people think it will work

was down for about 4 days and decided to phone him, they are a great job but my internet is fu cking steep, i really should downgrade mine but where i live it s hard to get a great signal which is why im on bt

talk talk is cheap if you can get that , line rental 17-18 quid and inter is only about 4 quid

unlimited? can stream?

aye unimited mine is £323-£34 all in thats coss i dont have DB set up so extra £4.50 and  i pay £5 for 1000 mobile minutes and £5 anytime uk calls , dont even use the phone hardly but just have it as i know i will need it if i dont have it at some point.

£32-£34 a month*

i pay 37 quid a month which doesnt seem to bad now

plus they lob in talk talk tv for like £2 now , never had that offer when i joined but dont want it anyway really

is that unlimited calls to mobiles and landlines aye

if you dot use phone at all you can get talk talk unlimited for £20 id say

no mate just free landlines at weekend, i have 11 pound a month mobile conract, 1-0 drogba

fu ck 20 pound would be brilliant, but im in a years contract i think, plus im not exactly sure how strong the signal is where i am

i ordered talk talk when my bt was in and cancelled direct debit , talk talk just changed it over , never even told bt lol

thin i owe bt a few bob

you can get mobile with talk talk also when u joun them , they are cheap as fook if you have the phone line with them also

£5 a moths  for some of them and thats unlimited texts and so many calls

that is good, i must look into it, only problem is my mates r all on o2 so it would cost them 10p a text to text me lol

line rental is 15.95 internet is 1.75 for first 6 months then 3.50 after

do they not get unlimited texts to any network

https://sales.talktalk.co.uk/product/broadband/v-simplybb?portalId=GOO_BBKW&v=1

check postcode see what you can get

not on pay as u go, they could use watsapp i suppose

I`ve got one of those dreambox thingies but don`t know how to set it up. Do you connect it to the satellite receiver by usb or to the modem by ethernet

to the dish i think , bhoys has one and bergkamp they will know best

Thanks chaser, I would like to try it.

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 live in a flat mate and we use a communal dish, but my box is connected to a sattilite connection in the wall using a coax cable if thats any help, maybe bergys is differnt

Thanks Bhoys, I`ll buy a cable and try it.

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

will do bhoys

the m8 android core is meant to be faster but there about £100 fully loaded so i went for the £60 one to test, if all good i can easily upgrade later on

thanks

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

this should last until box breaks as its all through the internet

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

Thats great mate i will keep using mine until it goes then i will probably go for thsi

just tuned into sky sports1 and loaded no bother

excellent, can u record?

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

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

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

superb mate, sound great

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.

its like apple box but pirated to watch all channels

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

its also got all you freeview channels in a folder which are normal quality also

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

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
