CollyWolly Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yeah wondered the same. Sometimes you have to request the games... Unless there's been no interest in their matches and he's not kept a subscription going. Possibly they didn't start the stream until after kick off right enough. I watch Hibs games now and then if there is nothing else on. Occasionally its a bit of fun, like last night. They were winning 1-0 and cruising when I tuned in.17 minutes later they were 3-1 down.....................lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjambo Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've only just heard about Kodi but thinking about getting a box. Looking at this, it seems people are having some problems recently. Is it still worth it? I genuinely know next to nothing about it although I've started reading reviews and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmarkus1981 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If you can afford it, I'd go for the Amazon Fire TV BOX Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Cheers. I have heard good things. Is there a certain box that's the best to get or are they pretty much all the same and it depends on your broadband?For about ?80 you can get either the AFTV or T8-4 boxes. I have both and both great boxes however you have to install kodi on the AFTV yourself plus the addons and lately the kodi icon has disappeared from the main menu making it a slight faff launching the software. It's not a big issue tbh and it's about as good a box as you'll get for the money. The T8 comes with kodi installed but again you will have to manually install a wizard or some addons manually but plenty help on hand here and it's really not difficult to do. Any other questions fire away[emoji1360] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjambo Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Cheers for the advice folks. I had seen a couple of boxes on Amazon with good ratings and I'm not that technically minded so I liked the reviews that said they were easy to set up. I'll have a think on what box to get but definitely seems the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of people have had cheaper boxes which haven't caused them issues however if you really aren't that technically minded then you really want something that is the least hassle possible. I personally think only 2 boxes fall into that with them being the T8 and Amazon Fire TV. I'd personally say the AFTV of the two however that's only because I've got 2 of them and they run faultlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kodi you are only streaming whatever it is you are watching and not actually downoading, it is more like a BBC iplayer streaming on demand type thingy. If you use Real Debrid to stream what you watch on Kodi then you can download from the Real Debrid account what ever you like from kodi, Realdebrid costs roughly ?13 for 6 month and is totally worth it imho.

Fraggle Rock Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 any limit on storage ? As in storage on a android kodi box or kodi on a pc ? .... no need to download to kodi as it is all on demand. Having a Realdebrid account will allow you to download anything apart from live tv from kodi on to a phone , a pc or tablet like device so you can watch it offline any time you like , and no limit on what you download. Having Realdebrid also gives you more stable and better quality links to movies and tv shows that are on kodi. Hope ive not made a pigs ear of explaining it to you, if so just say and one of the others on here who use it will explain it better than me...

Rudolf's Mate Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So we can have the game streamed from Malta but not Perth Obviously we show our home games however games away from home we're dependant on other providers cameras. SJ don't have the same setup as us therefore I'd guess it's the BBC or Sky's cameras. There may also be something preventing us from broadcasting away from home/cup games such as another provider having the rights to the comp.

Do you get most of the English 3pm games? I would highly recommend it however the sticks aren't the greatest for dealing with live TV. You might get lucky however just be aware that if you get buffering it's the stick and not the service itself. On the plus side you can access it via web browser as well and it works brilliantly with laptop/PC & tablets etc. For ?26 for 6 months it's a no brainer and you'll be blown away with a lot of the streams.

You use it with your SportsnationHD login and access the streams directly. I personally would say the Amazon Fire TV as I have 2 of them. If not that then the T8 is what I would go for however it would take something monumental to get me to budge from the AFTV box.
