    Our IPTV provider gone down a few times in the last few months and becoming a bit unreliable, if anyone has one they could recommend would love a PM about it as don't not what we would do without ours now!

    Amazon are selling firesticks at discounted prices at the moment, if anyone is after one.

    Have you tried one of this mate?

    I was wondering about them, if they'd the same memory available etc.

    Think they are £20 on Amazon.co.uk at the moment, convert to euro and ship with Parcel Wizard or Parcel Motel, and you should be fine at €30, or a tad less.

    Jesus I’ve had no issues with him. When there was issues with the IPTV he updated the group and any time there is maintenance he always updates the group.

    I can’t fault him, and I don’t know the lad, so it’s not as if he is a “mate or a friend” im sticking up for.

    Same as the lads said, I got onto KK after my post above and within an hour I was set up with a login and ready to go so can't fault the speed of reply or the level of support he's given.

    Had a couple of Providers over the years and KK by far the most responsive and reliable service.

    Not very well up with IT equipment at all.

    Reviewing how I pay for TV and what channels I can get or what channels I like.
    Have sky. The whole package.
    Entertainment
    Movies (which I hardly watch)
    Sky Sports
    Sports extra ( which gives BT sport)

    What's a firestick?
    What can I get on it?
    Is it legal?
    Etc .... Etc ....

    A fire stick is an Android device and is perfectly legal. You can buy them in argos now, they wouldn't sell them if they were illegal.
    You can put apps on to it that allow you to access iptv.
    You'll get all the channels you're currently getting and more.

    Just another way of watching live tv, similar to cable, digital, satellite TV but there's a bit of a delay.
    Basically like netflix etc only you're streaming live tv.

    Bought a fire TV cube the other day, very impressed with it so far for the iptv.
    By all accounts it's a good upgrade on the stick for streaming and it was 33% off the other day on Amazon so pulled the trigger.

    Do you mind me asking what the upgrade is? Faster system or something is it?

    Not sure of the exact technical bits but I've had my eye on an Nvidia shield for a while now, apparently they're the dog's bollox when it comes to streaming and gaming but they're expensive. I'm not arsed about gaming and having read a few reviews the cube runs it pretty close for streaming.

    Does it only run of WiFi or does it have an Ethernet port option?
