What specific channels are you looking for. I got one called Big Media, it is excellent. The member cockdown supplies them.

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

Did you buy the box off the net ?

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)

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

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..
