  1. Now you have lost me. Could you please explain? If XtreamTV are too expensive for you that is fine by me as XtreamTV are nothing to do with me. FYI: XtreamTV are £5/yr cheaper than my main supplier who has recently increased their price from £60/yr to £80/yr.
  2. Here are two such discussioins:- https://aseannow.com/topic/1286174-your-experience-with-the-tot-nt-thunder-sim/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1273022-your-experience-with-sim-card-routers/
  3. There are many options..... Trials:- 24 hour free 24 hours with sports £1.99 48 hour pass £2.99 7 day pass £4.99 Subscritions:- are for 1 month, 3 month, 6 month or a year at £75 All info and prices can be seen at:- https://xtreamtv.live/
  4. I have an annual NT SIM that I use in a D-Link DWR-M930 router for streaming. Using 3BB 5G Wi-Fi on a pc I have a download of 81Mb/s and with SurfShark enabled and set to Thailand location I have a download of 71Mb/s
  5. If you use one of the apps to test Wi-Fi you may see that many signals are on the same channel which is why it is always better to use a LAN especially if you are experiencing buffering as the solution of can be a nightmare. Once it took me over an hour to resolve a buffering issue and I almost gave up. I could list a dozen different reasons as to the route cause of buffering. @superal You will not experience buffering on a FHD stream if you have 30Mb/s+. If you have buffering try reducing the resolution to SD. I am also using 3BB fibre and most say 3BB are the best ISP for streaming. I have a 4 year old Android phone that is fine streaming without a VPN. I have a 1 year old Android tablet that will continuoulsly buffer without a VPN. Go figure! I use STB's with the Amlogic range of CPU's ie S905x4 whereas the T95 uses the Allwinner H616 which should be more than good enough:- https://gadgetversus.com/processor/amlogic-s905x4-vs-allwinner-h616/#google_vignette I would suggest your first port of call is to try a LAN connection between your STB and the router to see it that makes any improvement but please be aware than any speed test is only an indicator:- If you have a 5Mb/s speedtest result you will definately have problems If you have a 500Mb/s speedtest result you may have problems Also read the post:- and you will see that many Wizz customers are having issues Just click on the "Access Denied" ling above but please ignore the comment from:- @CallumWK on page 3. I am not a reseller, just trying to assist. p.s. If you want me to TRY to assist with your buffering please DM me. Sorry, I have just changed my mind as so many are complaining about Wizz i suspect Wizz servers may be the route cause though I had no issues when I tested them but since then they had to change their stream provider. p.p.s. I recommended trying a free test in the link above but I was accused of being a reseller. I have no connection to XtreamTV whatsover.
  6. Sir: A reseller has no use of both a main and a backup provider! Please explain why, if I am a reseller, I have been looking for a bckup to my main source for the last 3 years and wasted a not insignificant sum of money checking suppliers that turned out to be of no use but then again, this is the story of my life:- I try to assist others and am kicked in the teeth for my troubles. C'est la vie! An aside:- I said I have a main supplier. Maybe you would like to check out:- http://bestiptvuk.me/ but don't waste too much of your time as the website is no longer used due to the safety issues I mentioned in my post. My 10 second review suggested you took the free trial so that you could make up your own mind but you prefer to accuse me of being a reseller whereas all I am trying to do is pass on my hard earned experience gained over 3 years. Thanksk for nothing.....

  8. The 10 second review & recommendation: Take a 24 hour free stream at:- https://xtreamtv.live/index.php?rp=/store/trials and wait to be impressed 🙂 Advice: Now for the rather boring but detailed review however, my advice would be to skip the details below and take either the free or paid trial in the link above. You have been warned..... Introduction: I have been using my current stream provider since the start of the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa in July 2021 which coincided with the Covid outbreak when the local authorities advised they were going to close all bars in order to stop the Covid spread. I urgently needed a stream, with sports, in order to be able to watch the B&I Lions Internationals. I only had a few days to sort and though rushed, I came up trumps on the very first attempt with my current provider. For the 3 years since then I have been looking for a backup stream, I have taken many trials (many being 20 or so free trials). I even paid for many a months sub to those trials that seemed to pass muster only to have been disappointed when detailed testing uncovered many issues. Now for the good news; I took a trial with Xtream and I was so impressed with the free trial that when they offered a one off discount I jumped at the offer and took a year's sub. After extensive testing I can say that I have been way impressed and I am sure that if you take the trial, especially the paid trial with catchup, you will be equally impressed 🙂 Details: Xtream provide 7 days of catchup on almost all of the UK main and most sports channels that I could wish for. One of the benefits of the Xtream catchup streams is many of these streams have two catchup streams per channel i.e. catchup on BBC1 is available as both FHD and SD. Best of all, not only do Xtream provide their own apps but they also provide the URL (m3u) of their servers to those of us that require this info. Background & Recommendation: In the early days of my streaming I had been using a stream provider for many years that were good but they were taken down when they decided to add sports to their offering. No names mentioned but I am sure you old timers amongst us know who I am referring to. With my many years experience of using good stream providers and my dismissal of so many streams during testing that just did not come up to par, I feel I can offer sound recommendations hence I have no qualms in recommending Xtream as either a main or backup stream provider. No doubt others on this forum will agree that it is not easy to find a source that provides high quality live streams with at least 7 days of catchup that have little to no buffering on either live or catchup whilst including the server URL so please allow me to suggest you take either the free trial or even pay the nominal fee for the 24 hour sports trial with catchup using the link above and see for yourself. What have you got to lose? I can assure you that you will not be disappointed! !!! Search: My search for a backup has taken me years to find a provider that has come anywhere near being close to my main provider in the quality of their streams to act as a backup. Xtreams are not only close but they may even surpass my main provider. Believe me, this is high praise indeed and only time will tell as this is early days but to give you a clue, the overflow Galagher rugby matches are being streamed on TNT Sports 5. No stream provider I know of offers catchup on this stream so I use Xtream as my stream of preference to record the match, (with only one paid sub per provider I have to choose which provider's stream to use for recording whilst viewing on the other stream). and yes, Xtream really are that good. Closing Comments: If you have any questions feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer. If, perchance you doubt my review just take a gander at:- https://www.trustpilot.com/review/xtreamtv.uk p.s. I can no longer recommend my main provider for two reasons:- i) I posted on here many years ago that my main supplier were good, many took my advice but failed to complete a transaction due to my provider playing silly buggers ii) For security reasons my main supplier will only take new customers from personal referrals and knowing potential customers from a forum is not enough

  10. Please allow me to add my ha'penny worth:- @Tony M You sound most knowledgeable and have given sound advice. As you are no doubt well aware and I have tried to highlight here with myn experiences, there are many pitfalls so I understand your OISC recommendation. I have personally dealt with the UK immigration authorities in both the UK and the country of the lady whom I married so had no need of an OISC registered agent and certainly a lawyer would have provided no useful useful assistance. I currently have a long standing Thai girlfriend and have arranged both UK and Schengen visas without incident though I must admit the Schengen visa was fraught with difficulties due to my previous marriage and divorce. From my experience it is imperative that @sidjameson registers the divorce with the UK authorities otherwise a visa application would be a non-starter.
  11. and to put the cat amongst the pigeons:- https://thepattayanews.com/2024/10/13/legal-corner-the-new-2024-tax-laws-in-thailand-implications-for-foreign-residents/
  12. The web site ststes 12m are availabe but if you try to buy only 1m, 3m & 6m are available
  13. Oh you are so WRONG!!! Since when has 4G LTE been fixed point? I use one SIM in my mobile for music, grab, voip and one SIM in my tablet for streaming IPTV. Siganal strength is the same, or beter, than True, download speedtest to Europe exceeds 60Mb/s and monthly data is a genuine unlimmited as I use about 250GB/m
  14. https://www.ntmobile.in.th/th/OtherPromotion/969.aspx Only works on band 40 and is data only so then you can use a cheap 7/11 SIM for phone calls but most people use voip
  15. Agrred, x96 max is good, max+ is better and then you can go to x96 ultra. All are more hassle than a Firestick but leave the FS standing as long as you get an x96 with 4GB RAM. Storage is not so important as you can always use an SD card.
