the stone rose Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Not wanting to defend SM's ramblings, but tbf my Sky has never been affected by wind or rain. Even in the storms last year it held up well, if anything a bit of wind or rain would render kodi useless for me because of the SHITE broadband that BT supply. Peculiar how opposite experiences are. Used to have sky and living at end of street meant signal loss a few times a year. Also switched to BT broadband after issues with virgin media and it is the best broadband I've had.

I've been with sky for 2 and a half years and never had to call them for any reason, always had such a solid service. Switched my broadband to BT (kept Sky TV) in March because my sign-up offer was running out and it's the worst decision I've ever made. It's impossible to describe just how hopeless and infuriating their 'tech' department are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Watched Gods of Egypt on Kodi earlier in the week. It's been on there in 1080p & 5.1 surround sound for a couple of weeks as well. Would just like to point out that Sky was not harmed in viewing of this film seeing as it only went into the cinema today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 If you Google seomicheal then the add on name there are comprehensive instructions for each addon.

robbo010 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi. Had anyone used the Sportsmania app on a firestick. I have the Kodi Add-on but would like the app as a back up. I have managed to install the app, but need mx player and can't get that to install, its not on Amazon store, and won't work through apps 2 fire. Any advice? Cheers.

Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk I've got MX Player anyway- I use Yatse remote to control kodi from my phone. If you have MX you can transfer whatever you're watching on kodi to your phone - I do it quite a lot when I go for a bath so i don't miss the end.

robbo010 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I was trying to get the Sportsmania app to work in my Firestick as a backup to the Kodi Add-on, managed to get app on but cant install mx player. Tried apps2fire but get error, and not in Amazon tv store. Can no longer use es explorer unless for zips, anyone know of another way to get the app working on firestick, tried asking on the sm forum and Twitter, but no reply as yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing against MX Player as I rated it highly that I paid for the pro version for my sons Galaxy Tablet. Its more me being anal about installing stuff on the box.

Sent from my SM-A310F using Tapatalk According to them the kodi addon just stops sometimes because of all the added complications of running within kodi, while the android app is very stable and reliable. I saw they'll have the PPV boxing this weekend but they're closing new subscriptions from 10 am Saturday so they can focus on the stream - they also explained that in general SD < HQ < HD. HQ is basically SD but using more bandwidth so it should be much smoother. Live and learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Oh really? Is it flawed or something?For me it takes an awful long time to to load. When you boot it up for the first time in the day it takes around 60 seconds to gather the data. On Tap loads instant Also, once you have finally got around to adding all mania channels favourites all the streams are jumpy as hell. Strange as when loaded via mania it is perfect. None of this with on tapp. It automatically loads mania Then when you ask for help in the Facebook page all the minions jump on you like your criticising it Maybe just my experience. However, on tapp is utterly superb and well worth the money. My wife can actually use it!!

robbo010 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 With regards to TV guides. I was using Renegades until it went down, do believe that they are close to getting it back up. Since then I tried Ivue which was OK, but as mentioned was slow. I have since been using DNA TV Guide, a lot quicker and also have their own channels addon which seem to work well with the guide.

Rudolf's Mate Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The guys with the Mania app. One of the main functions for me within Mania is the calendar and the fact that it brings up all the streaming options for any event. I use it for absolutely everything rather than having to search manually. Just been reading that the app has it (calendar) but that it doesn't link the streams to it? For me that would be a big negative tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a case such as that how do you know where to look? Curious more than anything. The calendar didn't work for me until I got my 4K box however it now works on both. Everyone used to go on about it on the FB page and once I eventually used it is genuinely couldn't go without it. Having it taken away would, after using it be a pain in the arse.

To show something that's on now. And once you select it. It then gives you multiple options if available. For me the ease of use is incredible and it's literally a click for another link if need be. Ok it's rare I need to click on another however you can't always just assume that ESPN or Fox will be showing a particular event. Those two have been absolutely spot on for ages now.
