Pennywise Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ready to give up on my firebox & firestick. Can't get anything to work.

But some Kodi builds has great skins which make me stick to the builds. I am using No Limits Magic on my laptop and FireTV Guru on FIrestick. Both are just awesome. OneAlliance looks great but it just made my device very heavy. Here are some best Kodi builds: https://www.thetechtoys.com/best-kodi-builds/ I put the latter onto my aftv box after this recommendation.

I binned Kodi weeks ago, watched the Cardiff City game yesterday on my Fire TV box. Perfect picture, no buffering. I watched on Live NetTV, Vigin Media broadband, ethernet connection to the box via a powerline adapter. My wife was watching a film on the other Fire TV box downstairs at the same time.

If you can, use an Ethernet cable from the router to the AFTV box, in some cases this doubles the gbps speeds, thus eliminating any buffering. If you connect with an Ethernet cable, you must go into settings in the AFTV box and change the settings from wireless to Ethernet. You can check the speeds in the sportsmania settings/tools facility. You've got all the hardware, no need to be binning it. Good luck.

I also find it helps trying different countires on IPVanish to get the best speed. As Old Blue Eyes said try the speed test on Sportsmania and select different countries until you get a decent speed. I use Copenhagen and all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that Fab is a reseller of Flawless, but Fab also source certain channels from elsewhere, but happy to be corrected on that . I would say Fab is better than Mania ,Flawless , OTTTV and any others i have tried especially when it comes the non sport channels. As Disco Dave says no vpn is needed but since i have one i requested that i be allowed to use it via the support ticket.

makateer Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I used Fab TV for the first time last night to try and watch the game. Before it kicked off it was fine, with a little bit of buffering, however after about a minute of the game it kept stopping all the time. I would open the stream again and it would work for about 20 seconds then kick me out again. Anyone else have these issues? Do they have an android app that would work better on an android tv, instead of using Kodi? I used to be on SM and had no issues, but gave them up when they went Bitcoin only. I remember they had an app which was helped with buffering/kicks rather than using Kodi itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were down to 2-0 at that point so I just gave up instead. I don't think SM have Celtic TV back. It was one of the ones that they said were managed the same as Hearts TV and blamed their new security on blocking their accounts all the time, which is strange how other IPTV people stream it. I think SM just gave up without really trying, as I presume the majority of their subscribers are in it for the EPL games anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use IPVanish as my vpn and they have an app on the amazom app store so it is a direct download from there onto your AFTV, some other vpn's also have a app on the Amazon app store, if you use a vpn that isnt on Amazon app store then download their app via downloader or something like that the same way you load kodi onto AFTV. With IPVanish vpn they have settings that allow you to have the vpn switch on every time you start your AFTV box or you can manualy turn it on when you need it , it is kinda straight forward to use and i am sure their will be vids on utube that will help you. Now for HMFC tv just download your vpn app onto computer and simply turn on the vpn for when you want to use it (HMFC tv) and select a country outside the uk and Ireland followed by a city in that country and then pick a server in that city and bingo you vpn will be on, then sign up to HMFC tv international (make sure your vpn is on) and then watch the game via computer/laptop or connect to big tv via HDMI cable.
