mrtoad Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Maybe a different set up, but mine has BBC, ITV, SKy all the rest of the channels for drama, sports, movies and also movies on demand. Last night I watched Wolf of Wall Street and Walter Mitty, after watching Cricket on Sky Sports earlier in the day. It's a good system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel2183 Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 I was looking for something like a roku box http://www.roku.com/uk/what-is-roku. I don't want to sign up for a service or something like that. Just want a smart box to connect to my tv .

GinBoy2 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Not sure I understand your comment "don't want to sign upfor a service". Most set top boxes like Roku or Apple TV enable access to services like Hulu, Netflix, Vudu etc most of which require some kind of service agreement. One point to note, the firmware is different by region and therefore the apps, so for example a US Roku is unable to get the BBC iplayer, and so far as I am aware there is no way round that. Also in general, you cant buy direct from companies like amazon and have it shipped to Thailand, you need to buy through an ebay, or get someone you know buy you one in the region you want and ship it to you. On the merits of the boxes, I have both Apple TV and Roku, both work great (note you'll also need some Geo masking service) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using uno telly which is really good but always connecting my laptop to my tv to watch netflix or bbc iplayer ect. I might look in to getting a roku box posted from the uk .

Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app One last geeky point. On the latest Roku firmware you cant change the DNS address (you still can on the Apple TV), so you will have to enter the UnoTelly DNS address' into your router. That's what I do and it's pretty seamless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly what you are asking for with no sign up or no monthly fees .. so where did the idea of a sign up come from .. You buy it and just watch TV .. simple enough.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
