crunchy frog Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 What are people using to watch the Hearts game? I've got it on UK Sports through Pheonix then Woody, though not a great picture. Acestream is showing cricket on SS3? I've got SportsDevil aswell but again not a great picture.

Tommy Brown Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I renewed to Sportsmania and got a good picture. There was a couple of jumps and one 10 second bit of buffering. Overall good enough. Strange thing was that it was 10 minutes behind Real Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babertonjambo Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 My Fire Stick has arrived this afternoon so I'm looking to install Kodi tonight.

Captain Sausage Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I've got a fire stick, cracked it as per YouTube, added on all my channels but cant for the life of me get anything to play. I click on a film for example, it just buffers then never loads, or very occasionally works but buffers every 2-3 seconds. I have 28mbps connection so it must be something else. Really frustrating.

Who is your broadband provider. If BT there's a thing called Smart Setup which ****s with Kodi and prevents most things playing and others buffer like he'll. On Sky I think it's called Smart Shield and also Virgin has it. Bottom line is you need to log into the routers admin and disable. Restart the stick and try again.

Rudolf's Mate Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Cheers. Will give this a go. My broadband provider is BT. Is it easy to get around the issue above? Yep it's easy mate. Simply log into your router via PC/laptop by typing 192.168.1.254 into the address bar and hit enter. Click on advanced settings and grab the card with the admin password from the Hub. Once entered click to continue to advanced settings and then select home network. The option for Smart Setup will appear just below, disable and select apply. Reboot the stick and try again. Pretty sure this will solve it. Just remember if you ever have the issue again then check the router. Occasionally Hubs auto update or reboot and this can turn back on. It did for me. I have Sky and I disabled the shield but just can't seem to get things to run seamlessly. Got a weekend to myself this week so I'll Mess around with it and hopefully get it working! How long have you had it? Just bought it or had it a while and always had these issues? If you've had it a while do you carry out regular maintenance and delete cache and packages? Peas has Sky so he (or someone else with Sky) might be best placed to comment if it's the actual router. All I would say is also double check that shield is off.

I was never a fan of adbfire in the first place as it messed up for me and was a nightmare to correct.

Do I just type in the http address on a Web page? Managed to change router settings fine. If you scroll down to settings, along to applications and then manage installed applications it's in there. Clicking on the link should download the apk however to get it onto the box you could click on it on a laptop, stick it on USB and plug it into the box or follow the below. If you go into ES Explorer and click on add and enter in the URL address for JKB into the path and give it a name and click to save. It'l appear in the left hand menu, scroll down click on it and navigate to the this thread and click on the link it should install it.

I'm not keen to pay either but if it provides a more reliable stream then I wouldn't mind. Ultimately I want to cancel my BT Sports and Sky Sports subscriptions, which will save me a fair amount, but won't do so until I see what the quality of the streams are like. Also, is the streams pretty much in real time or is there quite a lag? I'm not keen watching live games 10 minutes behind the actual game.

Some streams lag further behind than others but never more a couple of mins. If you are ready to pay a sub you may as well go get IPTV STALKER. You will get all the channels plus 3 o'clock kick offs. You can get it via premium builds such as the beast or get it direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneySports is a good one.Mania is good but a wee while back the quality of the free streams was really poor and that's why I bought in. If originally had a premium Sports Donkey through droidsticks but the guy is a welt and he's pretty difficult to deal with if you couldn't get the streams working. I've seen others like HQzone basically take people's money and vanish as well so it can be a little bit dodgy. I don't like paying for stolen tv either if I'm being honest, it's reliable though and has all the football, 3pm Saturday EPL games and all PPV events.

A build is something which has been made by a certain individual with specific apps and layout, such as Wookie. There a many other builds which all differ from each other, A wizard, such as Ares, holds all these builds in one specific program for easy access. It also holds specific apps...Just makes it a lot easier than having to search around for all the specific locations or repos of these builds and apps.
