January 5, 201610 yr I'm trying to use Turks, Robocop and Mobdro and it's jerky as fook. I've cleared the cache but that hasn't made much difference. My only thoughts are my internet connection is a bit shit. Plusnet are saying I'm on 8mb but a speed test tonight is saying 11mb. Either way, is this a bit slow? What speeds are others on that use android boxes with smooth pictures?

January 7, 201610 yr It's wired to the router, which I assume is the best way. Films work fine using showbox, but streaming sports are shite. I've cleared the kodi cache but that makes no difference. Even if it did, mobdro has nothing to do with kodi (does it?) and that's rubbish.
January 7, 201610 yr can you record stuff a la virgin/sky? Apparently this zgemma box I'm picking up tonight can with a memory stick.
January 7, 201610 yr Apparently this zgemma box I'm picking up tonight can with a memory stick. It can indeed.
January 7, 201610 yr Apparently this zgemma box I'm picking up tonight can with a memory stick. Do you need a satellite dish for that?
January 7, 201610 yr Do you need a satellite dish for that? Yeah. If your house has an old sky one the feeds are the same.
January 7, 201610 yr BOOM! That's 80 quid a month I won't miss disappearing out of my account. SD channels but I hardly watch owt anyway, it's just background while i'm on here!
January 11, 201610 yr Apparently this zgemma box I'm picking up tonight can with a memory stick. Got an Openbox V8s but i've been looking at Zgemma for the dual tuner, SkyTV skin etc. Struggling to see what the difference is between the H2/2S/H.2S/H.2H boxes though - the specs on their website seem to be very similar and I can't work out what's better about the £90 box compared to the £75/£65 boxes. Any advice appreciated.

Any advice appreciated. No idea pal. Not sure which one I've even got! I'll have a look when I can later
January 13, 201610 yr I really do not know why you bother, go get a Skybox F5s, if will be another 12 months at least before they stop working how do these work? would I need a dish?
January 14, 201610 yr Mines an openbox v8s 35quid on ebay 12month sky gift warranty for 15quid ebay You need a sky dish (not a subscription) and connection to the internet Signal is via dish Unscrambled via internet 10 mins to set up And you can record via USB Sports SD, Movies SD and BT Sport HD all included. Had mine since October no issues Zgemma mentioned above seems to have the Sky skin which is probably better. Not sure of the other differences
January 14, 201610 yr Author I've got same setup as bigtoe but with F3s box. No issues had it over a year you have to do a channel update every so often. I've also got a now TV box that has plex on it that has full sports in HD and works via broadband and being connected to someone's server. I also have a mx android box for all films and boxsets probably cost me 200 quid for the lot that's it then.
January 19, 201610 yr I've got an openbox, which was installed whilst I wasn't there; six months later I have fuck all channels. How do I clear and retune- is it a simple download on to a usb? Am I better downloading some apps to my kindle and connecting it to my tv via HDMI?
