    I have sky go installed on my HTC phone but it won't run on my Acer A501 tablet (10.1 ") and I guess it never will - am also looking for Android HDMI stick (shame Chromecast isn't available here yet)

    Hi

    Ok let me weigh in with my opinion on a dedicated iptv box - namely the super iptv box (english) - it can be had for around £300 (maybe a little more if you get stung with customs & vat ) - and it has approx 90-100 channels - a mix of hd and sd - all are in english - some have chinese subtitles at bottom - but programmes all in english.

    The good thing about this box is it isnt just sports but also has film and entertainment and news channels as well........it has fox, hbo, universal channels etc - the picture quality goes from poor internet stream quality to very very good hd quality.

    There are a range of sport channels which show epl including 3pm - new channels are added all the time - at beginning of last season 6 new channels were added for all the epl games.

    No dish required - just a broadband connection or wifi - would recommend min 4meg bb - but obviously the faster the better.

    No monthly payments - it comes with 12 months viewing activated - renewals are approx £75 a year - system been around for a few years so offers some security that its not going to just disappear.

    Major thing to be careful of when importing one is that you get one with a remote control in ENGLISH (!)

    Overall its a really good box with a good selection of channels that you can take anywhere (even on holiday) - even without the epl channels.

    I also have a second box arriving later today thats a different iptv system - so will report on that in the next few days - hope this helps some people.

    I have also seen a uk/ireland based iptv system thats approx £400 - £479 to buy and then £250 a year to renew - its main selling point is the al jazeera channels - but it just seems too much money to be honest - and has no movies etc on it either........but will keep an eye on it.

    i had a mess about with a pi a month or so back running xmbc, it worked fine for viewing the films etc , but was just way to slow getting there .

    it may have been the sd card it was on as came pre loaded off the bay.

    did not stay connected for very long :001_07:

    I have been keeping my eye on this box.

    Is it better for XBMC on this box against say XBMC on an Android TV box ?

    haven't tried xbmc on an android box,however tlbb is runs xbmc natively,and works really well,Granted there's a couple of little niggles but the team are well aware of them and are in the process of fixing them,bearing in mind this is the first product from them,they have done really well

    I've run XBMC on Winblows, Mac, Linux, Pi, Dreambox
    It's slow and clunky
    It's a personal thing, but me no like!

    These are on IP. I think they cost $135 a year about £93 at the mo. You need a middle east proxy to sign up and something like s openplay smartDNS at $5 a month. Quality on my lappy looks good and I can play it to my TV thro' my HDMI output

    considering this now,is it in HD quality or thereabouts ?,so i basically pay monies to join up and can stream to my PC from the website .eliminating the need for an iptv box or other streaming device,,do i need the proxy just to sign up or do i need it to veiw also ??

    checked out the website,,only thing for me having been a bit spoilt by HD footy the match they are streaming free looks lower than SD quality wise

    i think you are mixing things up with the online service.

    I know satellite have launched the HD channels, but i was just wondering if those with a set top IPTV box has also
    had their channels updated to include the HD ones.

    I have an IPTV box from last December & at the moment its still just +1 to +10 still just in SD.
