Used to put kodi on stuff, would like a service there are mainstream apps that you can use, most servers have their own apps to use though, mainly for security reasons, they require only username and pass rather than a full server address. a lot of servers will not give out their full server address. on the original subject of the thread a lot of suppliers no longer support mags, they are linked by mac address which can easily be hacked and duplicated if you know what to do. 8 minutes ago, superjohnmcginlay said: Edited July 30, 2023 by lamblamb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted August 1, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2023 I also want to talk to someone about this. I currently subscribe to SkySports but it’s expensive as fuck and also doesn’t show Bolton games often enough. I’d need a home visit to help with the set up, I really am a technophobe and my wife is 3 O Levels worse than me. How do you find out where stuff is on? Wife watches a lot of niche sports; netball, etc. which would be on Sky but how do I find out where it’ll be on on a fire stick? Is there a dedicated shortcut to SkySports? I intend keeping SkyQ basic pack so not getting rid of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sometimes if I'm travelling for a few days, I'll take it with me so I can stick it in the Hotel TVs and watch what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamblamb Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 3 minutes ago, Casino said: Yes, but until i have cataracts, ill find something on sky you must have eyes like a sh1thouse rat 😁 the framerate on some of the FHD streams available run at 60FPS UK satellite broadcast a maximum framerate of 50FPS, no UK satellite provider does 50FPS these streams are certainly comparable to what UK satellite can provide but do require decent internet to ensure a faultless stream. Simply saying "i have 200mb internet" is not enough.If you are aware of jitter, ping and packet loss they all play a part in how well your streams run. For those quoting prices the following applies - As for how much you pay that's entirely up to you, there are many out there who will sell you a service that gives them enough profit per year to buy a pint, there are also others who care about the service they provide and charge a little more for their time and effort sorting out issues. If i had a £ for the amount of people who use "perfect" servers i'd be a rich man 😁 Perfect servers simply do not exist.When you can control the data centre your servers are hosted on, the internet infrastructure of each country en route to the device you are using, the UK communications network and the weather and guarantee that all of them are perfect 100% of the time, then and only then can you get anywhere close to having a perfect server.You also have to make sure that all of your hardware never breaks down and the electricity supply of every country on the route is faultless. What makes one server better than another is generally the developers, coders and stream suppliers they use plus the ease of contact when things go awry and they can with any server. Good luck to everyone this coming season whoever you use, what i will tell you that most won't is that this season may well be one of the most challenging in terms of supplying a decent service 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
