Unknown user Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 Dunno why everyone is in a rush to quit Mania. They've given you free TV and a guide last few weeks. Quite like the fact I can watch any sport, like the Open, through Matrix when I'm doing "paperwork" It was absolutely flawless during these 4 days. No rush but my sub is nearly up and I hate the pissed attitude I'm their support page. I have no brand loyalty, that only suits the brand.

reidyq Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Still trying to get my head round this. Got bigsams build and it's working fine but not paid fir anything yet. Do most people use builds (and if so which ones?) or just install the various addons themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Mackerel Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 No rush but my sub is nearly up and I hate the pissed attitude I'm their support page. I have no brand loyalty, that only suits the brand. It's IPTV and it isn't Sky or BT. Personally, I've had a ton of support of Rudolfs Mate on here early days and once you know what you're doing there is no need to go greeting to them.

The panic sets in as the stoners and housebound can't face the modern world without 24/7 meaningless tittle tattle sport and mock courtrooms.

Poseidon Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 The invoice for my ?2 from Ace was addressed Darlington I think it was. My personal experience is that it isn't as good as Mania so hopefully they get their payment stuff up and running again soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not with you, I don't get what you're trying to say. I know what I'm doing, I started this thread, but I also like to know when there are issues, outages, news etc so I'm a member of their FB group. Their customer service is shite and there's a baying mob waiting to pounce on any newbie questions. Ace's FB page is markedly friendlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've given out the code so you can keep watching their content. I'm struggling to see what is so hard to understand unless you want them to come round and type it in themselves? They're on Twitter,Facebook and do mailshots, plus quite a few on here keep you up to date, what else do you expect? Smacks of laziness on users behalf.

robbo010 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Another option for IPTV is Smash IPTV. I used them before Mania, only moved as mania had hearts TV. ?30 for 6 months or ?45 for full year for full package not just sports. Can pay using card or PayPal, I found them just as good as any others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reidyq Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Is it the SM bigsams build. When I first started with Kodi, I had build after build, I was bloody obsessed with trying one after another...dont know why The best build I've ever had is bigsams though. No not the SM build. Just the Easy Tiger classic build on a tablet for the time being. Trying to suss it out before sky ends later in the year so not ready to pay for any subs just yet. I'll stick with bigsams just now then. Works perfectly for everything I've watched so far and seems pretty easy to navigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obvious what has happened to their payments, no one wants to touch them with a barge pole. That's what happens when you have a customer orientated business with well over a million and a half a year turnover, that's why I don't do customer service any more. As for it being obvious, I had a brief chat with Willow who told me they'll be sticking with Stripe but wouldn't give anything else away. Still none the wiser why you were getting humpty with me, and you never took the opportunity I've given you to make peace, so feel free to ride yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obvious what has happened to their payments, no one wants to touch them with a barge pole. That's customer service for you. If your running a business then you must have a form if customer service without people being rude and arrogant. Not everyone will have access to knowledge such as this board or be a tech savvy as everyone on the Facebook page. Sometimes people need to be walked through it. Ace seems a friendlier community, less well known as well so less likely to encounter problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries pal. As soon as the payments go live I'm sure it will posted up by someone. You might want to try that ACE tv for a month seeing as the footy season has started. Remember, although some people like to kid themselves on they're getting a service on par with Sky or BT, it does have wee niggles that are easily overcome if you know what you're doing. I've kept my BT Sports up, think I pay ?10 or ?15 pcm as I have their broadband. 1. I like their Scottish Football coverage 2. Moto GP 3. Murdoch doesn't own them.
