Matrix is available on the Google Play Store and if you've got another android device (tablet or phone) use Apps2Fire to send and install it in under 30 secs. When I tried the standalone app it was ages ago and there was no need for a VPN so can't confirm how well it'll work with one though I suspect it'll be fine. By the end of my subs (2 weeks ago) I'd reverted to using Mania on the kids gaming PC which is connected to the lounge TV. I've got a VPN setup on that and it was back to having flawless streams.

Since then, my phone never bloody stops...this won't work, can't get this to work, can you load a new build for me, can you load one up for a friend/family member etc. As you say jack, I'll be keeeping my mouth shut next time. Btw, you know how to get a hold of me if you do find the next amazing breakthrough though I spent at least an hour yesterday updating a mates box and getting him sorted out with Flawless only for them to have payment issues. Added his mrs to their FB page and have spent another half dozen messages this morning explaining what he’s got to do to sort it, raising tickets etc. Then another dozen long texts explaining to another mate who’s now subbed to ultimate mania and cos he uses a build I’ve been explaining how to get it on his main page plus the guide. Added to me sorting out all their VPN’s a wee while ago it does my ****ing head in What annoys me the most is people just expect to keep coming back to me over the slightest thing and never bother their arse to try learn anything for themselves. I’m talking about people who have had these boxes for about two years now btw and they still don’t know what they’re doing.

The exchange fees bumped the price up a couple of quid so sky high fees is surely an exaggeration too.

Defo been a few saying thats what its cost in pounds. Even in dollars thats fees of around £6, which is more than half again of the monthly price. Wish I got 4 months free. I paid out 6 months just as payments went down. Some paid out a year and the mods got really huffy when it was pointed out those folk didnt get any free service at all. I agree that Bitcoin might end up the only payment option though. Edited November 11, 2017 by Chester™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Can anyone using the add free Terrarium TV app stop and use the official app. Apparently the developer behind it has announced that if people keep using it he is going to stop developing the app. I mean...how much of an inconvenience can a few adds be when your getting all this content free. People as always want everything for nothing. The developer deserves a bit of reward for creating this amazing add-on otherwise why waste his time?

Coburg Hearts Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 For anyone interested. (from Troypoint) For those of you who have been in the "streaming game" for awhile, you probably remember a lawsuit that was filed against TVAddons in June of this year. When this ocurred, numerous Kodi addons were taken offline and it appears that the same thing is happening again. We were informed yesterday that two well known Kodi addon developers have been given cease and desist orders by the MPA/MPAA which is the Motion Picture Association. These two people were responsible for the popular Colossus addon repository that includes Covenant and Bennu to name a few. Due to this order, the Colossus repo has been removed. Another popular Kodi tool known as Ares Wizard has also been taken offline since this news broke. Ares did the same thing earlier this year when TVAddons was shut down and they came back a week later. Hopefully the same thing will happen this time around. Fingers crossed. What does this mean for you if you use Kodi? We still have options...lots of them. Don't be sad. Last night, I updated my Covenant and Bennu tutorials which will allow you to install these addons from a different repository. These addons will still work, the question is whether anyone will update them in the future which is mandatory to receive new content. But, they should work long enough until the dust settles and there are other options available if nobody updates these. See links below for these updated tutorials.

In this day and age people don’t want adverts. If faced with a few ads or paying for something to not have ads I’ll pay. I might like my free stuff but I ****ing hate adverts! I’ve no issue with people giving devs support but what would your take on this be if the guy was making a fortune and his gripe wasn’t about covering costs and was more about profit?
