WorriedNoodle Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Navi-x has alot of channels too, try searching on xunitytalk as well. Its basically trial and error which channels works and which doesnt. Yes, I think so. No time for trial and error, life's too short. I'll pay for a reliable service like ilikeHD for live sports I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacnl2000 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Question: What do you recommend for live sports? For example how did you watch the F1 in HD? I have tried likes of Sports Devil and MashUp but quality of sports video isn't as good as your news links? Over 66 free (no need to subscribe to ntv) sports channels under P2P-streams in the xbmchub add-on installer sky, bt, eurosport, etc .. How do you get from p2p-streams which I have to sky, bt, eurosport, etc .. ? If I choose p2p-streams I have options -Addon website parsers -Addon xml lists -Addon favorites Acestream Sopcast Addvanced tools? All I can find for sky, bt, eurosport, etc .. is to choose the first options (-Addon website parsers) then search through some of the options? Is this correct to get to sky, bt, eurosport, etc .. ? My results have been less than impressive with much buffering or not link established at all vs your excellent news links which work very fast. E.g. select Addon website parsers > Arenavision.in > Agenda/Schedule. Compare time and dates listed to current time and date and notice the specified AV<number>. Then go back one page, and simply select the AV<number> of your choice. Stream of the event scheduled should be present and accessible. Sometimes it's sky, bt, eurosport, canal+, etc...

jimbeam1 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 As per your PM on xbmchub.com we are happy to help, bring your notebook over here and we will show you what to do and get you started .. Joncl, I am on the verge of going into IPTV. Not particually computer/ Hi-Tec savvy. Have you ever thought of running a seminar. Or printing an IPTV guide for dummies? I for one would subscribe. Would probably help save an headache or two. Cheers. jb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncl Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) To learn a bit more look at this FAQ or here on xbchub.com which also has many howto guides etc .. Sorry I have not thought of doing either a seminar nor iptv guide, as the later imho has been done to death. The only golden rule wither you get a free or a paid service, is that service will only be as good as your internet is regardless of any marketing spin you read. This springs to mind re the internet (spoiler alert - contains a bad word) For those of you that use addons on xbmchub, (I also host a few of them) the numbers are huge. For the FTV Guide (see image below) it has had over 2,400,000 download this month making it one of the most used out there.

I am not particually after a free service. Plenty of varity (as in channels) plus EPL and F1. The later I would imagine I will need to pay for? jb1 Just watched the vid. That I did understand.

taony Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I downloaded xmbc last night to my laptop as a test. I would rather get the dedicated box one day if I like it. I managed to get joncl's News add-on working properly (it gets loaded under Video category instead of programmes or live tv). I was able to get a few other add-ons to work, but many didn't. For example, Irish TV and Stephen Colbert. Both would say that it was streaming the video at 50% then say there was an error and to check the log. So I don't know what went wrong there, I can't find the log and probably couldn't read it anyway! Still struggling how to get an IPTV add-on to watch live shows! Also tried to add joncl's BBC add-on , but no luck at all with that one! Is the set top box the same as using the web application? Meaning I would be using a remote and going through the same screens on the set top box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning I would be using a remote and going through the same screens on the set top box? That's why I say a trustworthy streaming provider is the best. We get what we pay for. Read my post here about it.and Stephen Colbert. Both would say that it was streaming the video at 50% then say there was an error and to check the log. Technical This is because streaming link is down. Means the udp proxy link is dead and need to be updated links for free service use udp links from proxy servers . That's way it's buffer all time and links become dead. Because it can't not change the quality in the stream , you has to buffer all time. If you buy a service provider to stream you TV , it will change quality of stream depends on your ISP and downstream See here http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/755568-questions-about-iptv/?p=8316791 Edited September 3, 2014 by carstenp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbeam1 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Say you buy the M8 xmbc box. You are still able to sign up for services such as ilikehdtv using that right? You seem be be on about the same wave length as me. Maybe a bit higher? I also think I am edging towards the M8. This is the same cost as the guy on globalTV charges. Don't know if they are the same? Problem for me is I live in Bang-Saen so it could mean a visit to jsat in Bangkok or there is a guy in Pattaya that sells the IPTV boxes. Although quality unknown? best of luck. jb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taony Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) That looks to me like a different box. Where did you see the price for it? on the jsat site there is a M8 box listed for b8,000 and a 'Coco' box listed for b5,000. When I went to ilikehd and signed up, I like their package the best. (how do I see the full list of channels in global TV?) Global TV seems more expensive. ilikehd seems to charge b350 for the international package. Unless I am reading it wrong, does 1 point = 1 baht? On Thai X expat TV, they are selling an X7 Mini box for b5,500 for box only and b7,000 for box plus three months service. Sooo, I think the choices for boxes are M8 from jsat = b8,000 Coco from jsat = b5,000 M7 from thaiexpat = b5,400 global tv = ?? The X8 seems slightly more advanced than X7, but not sure it has an SD card reader like the X7 does. My question is, can I buy any of these boxes and sign up for the service I like, which seems to be ilikehd? (but their website is the worst of them all!!) If the X8 comes with xbmc loaded and gives me additional choices, it could be worth the extra baht, but not sure at this point .

If the X8 comes with xbmc loaded and gives me additional choices, it could be worth the extra baht, but not sure at this point . My two penneth for what it is worth. Jsat box was 7000bt a couple of days ago on promotion. So maybe if you jumped in quick maybe can still get for that price. Global TV box = 7200bt Which looks like an unknown quantity? Check the link for package details. There are 5 deals starting from 15 euros (631bt) rising to 25 euros (1,052bt). At first I thought it was pounds, so euros not quite so bad. Check link below. http://www.watchglobal.tv/ As for your question. Can you buy the box then do your own thing. Sorry that is also what I am trying to find out. Although I think the answer is yes you can. I don't really know. Have you signed up to the XBMC forum that looks helpful? I am about to check out the iliked web site. jb1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbeam1 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I just downloaded ntv mx xbmc onto my laptop. Thought I would take a look at an episode of fools & horses. Got message saying sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed within the USA?? Ok so I'll take a look at some sport, needed to register. Ok first two stages completed ok, stage three billing details? Hmmm me thinks I still have a long way to go with this. But he who dares Rodders, he who dares? jb1 So now about to find out how easy it is to uninstall the ntv mx xbmc toolbar. Piece of cake already done.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I did a recent review and recap of four of the major expat cable-replacement streaming services available here, in another related thread. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/754114-internet-web-tv-boxes-what-are-impressions/page-2#entry8323933 After looking at all of them, I ended up subscribing to ILikeHD's streaming service, done thru your web browser, for 500b per month.

For some reason, they don't make their full channel list particularly easy to find on their website. But it is there. https://secure.ilikehd.com/livetv/channellist.php AFAIK, in order to access their plans and prices list, you have to create a log-on account with them first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBangkok Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The M8 box can download XBMC and you can add ilikehd if you like. Digilife 3rd floor pantip plaza sells the box for somewhere around 4k. The x7 minix box is a lower spec so it won't play 4k video. Minix has a very good online forum and good support. I have a minix x8-h which I bought at pantip on the 4th floor ( a little shop on the way to the front elevator) for around 5000 baht. It's a great box. I have just bought an intel nuc i5 based mini box that runs on windows 8.1 and I'm setting up XBMC this weekend on it. It's overkill for just running XBMC but eventually I'll set it up as a full HTPC . I'm tearing my hair out trying it get my sky F1 tv stream to work but eventually I will get it done as the XBMC forums have allot of support. XBMC is at truly amazing entertainment system. It can be a little finicky to get it set up and personalize but once you have done it you'll be amazed at what programming you have access to. The only MAJOR issue with XBMC is your internet connection but that is the limiter on every internet based streaming system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorriedNoodle Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) For those of you that use addons on xbmchub, (I also host a few of them) the numbers are huge. For the FTV Guide (see image below) it has had over 2,400,000 download this month making it one of the most used out there. How does one get the FTV guide to work? Can someone point me in the right direction please? Is the EPG from this free, or tied to Dixie which I believe is now a pay service? I have also added the FTV addon - but none of the channels seem to work. Is it geo-location dependent? Appreciate any clues on the above 2 points please? Also a big up to joncl for providing the MX repo link on XBMC which all work seamlessly:-) Edited September 7, 2014 by WorriedNoodle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB300 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Had the minix X7 for a while now & high key recommend it, one tip is to buy a better remote control, I bought the A2 & am pleased with it (except it chews through batteries) though there's quite a few negative reviews.

The guy on the 4th floor at pantip threw in a free minix a2 remote when I bought the minix X8. I also found out that my harmony remote has minix support so I use that now. I also tried the m-tek keyboard remote but after a while it started duplicating keys like aaaaaaaa so I went back to the harmony remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low batteries of the A2 fly- or airmouse do slow down the X7 user interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
