crunchy frog Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It's very easy to use and has been unbelievably reliable. I think the price is back up to ?75 on Amazon however it's well worth that as well. 65 brick at Curry's ATM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyp Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Silly question time. Apologies in advance. I subscribed to sportsmania (seems I got in just before the block) and am using the matrix app on my iPad. I don't have a box or stick for my tv. I subscribed for a week to make sure it worked and I understood how to work it!!! I must say, it's fan f u c k I n tastic. I'm well impressed. Now the stupid question, can I run ultimateMania on my iPad through the matrix app??? I can't see anything on the webpage that links to an iOS option? I'm happy with just the sports but if I could pay a little extra and get movies as well, I'd be delighted. Thanks in advance. I have been trying to use the matrix app on iPhones but no joy. I can log in using my ultimate mania account no problem but then there are no channels listed? Any ideas? Edit Fixed it by using the ultimatemania address instead.

Cyprus Jambo Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Finally managed to upgrade to fibre broadband, what a difference, I can now watch in HD. Graygo - where you stay (I'm sure it was midlothian). Looking to upgrade to fibre purely for KODI so just wanted to see if you are near me (I live very close to the 3rd worse street in Scotland for Broadband). Download at 2MB and KODI works not bad but was terrible for the darts the other night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hit n miss! It's a case of trying a few and hope you get lucky. Not had to do it for a while tbh but I had the same issue. Not only that but you'd get English subs and then they wouldn't display anything for the foreign language! There should be quite a few options to try. Thanks as usual fella! Just to clarify, am I trying a few different streams or a few different subtitle downloads...?? Can't wait til my wee boy's 8 and can do all my tech!!!!!!!

Can't wait til my wee boy's 8 and can do all my tech!!!!!!! I'd try streams first tbh. I've got lucky with trying different ones however most cases it didn't. If that doesn't work then try different subs. I should add that I generally don't have this issue now as Real-Debrid seems to have the subs spot on.

[emoji1303] If you haven't already done it then robbo's post below is about as easy a way you'll get of putting it onto the AFTV. The easiest method for getting Kodi or SPMC into a Firestick is firedl, just download that from the firetv store, and you can enter the URL for any app and it will download automatically. There is even some cheat codes to make it easier, these change everyday so you need to go to http://aidymatic.co.uk/firedl-.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Religion Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Is anyone else having problems with SM? Sky sports has been unwatchable the past few weeks, constantly stalling and buffering. I have BT fibre, have tried resetting everything including rebooting Kodi. Very few devices on my network. Anyone got any suggestions? Doing my tits in.

Can you hardwire your box? Use the tools section to clear your cache etc and maybe try again. What I tend to do is use calendar and try various streams. Matchday tends to have the same commentary etc anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Mackerel Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I've got BT fibre There's been problems with Virgin over the Festive period. I've got an AFTV box, hard wired, BT Infinity and have had zero probs over the Christmas/ NY. All darts, footy etc have been fine. There's lots of reasons, even the SM Facebook group posted a link on their page saying fairy lights on trees can interrupt wifi signals in homes. Probably best to contact them.

Space Mackerel Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Here's my advice. Go out and buy a decent streaming box. 75 notes buys you a 4K AFTV, I just upgraded mine the other day from the old one which I'm giving to my dad. Even Netflix looks crisper with it (courtesy of Rudolfs Mate login over the Festive period) Hard wire it if possible. Do maintenance every time you log in to Sportsmania and pick a stream for the match that you think is being used less by others. I go to the calendar like jack D does, there is usually about 5 to choose from. The US ones have been 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
