joebrown Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I bought a cheap CTH monthly package but maintained my Truevisions Platinum subscription when True lost the contract. I was always happy with CTH's EPL coverage, but their admin was abysmal. I see that True are offering the full sport/football package free to Platinum customers, although they have said the price will rise 1 year from now. I'm disappointed by this because when True lost EPL 3 years ago they effectively downgraded my package, but never offered a reduced subscription to compensate for the 3 year loss. Obviously customer loyalty isn't something that True are familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superal Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I subscribe to ilikehdtv but as already mentioned the buffering & freezing has got so bad that it is not worth watching . For some reason it is ok during the daytime but in the evenings the system does not deliver a viewable non buffering service , very frustrating . I have fiber optic from TOT 20 mbps down & 7 up which is not a stable signal on a speed test and despite 5 calls to their call centre they have still not attended my house to rectify . However the signal is strong enough on another free UK tv provider to transmit a faultless viewing all evening albeit on a 480p mode . I would be interested to know if anyone has switched from ilikehd to iviewhd/expat tv because of the poor reception issues , if so what is the quality like and would you recommend ? Anyone else have unstable fiber signal from TOT ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I switched from Ilike to Iview and found it more stable. I have also just switched from True fibre 30/4 to 3BB 50/10. Hopefully that will make a difference also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superal Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hi Eclipse , Many thanks for your reply . I believe that iview have introduced a delayed transmission to mitigate buffering , so this means that you're viewing is maybe 2 - 5 minutes behind live tv . This is not an issue to me if the programmes are good quality but the only consideration has to be if you enjoy sport and a flutter, live betting is not possible and has to be preplanned . You state that you have switched from True to 3bb on an increased bandwidth of 50mbps . Now I am no pc guru but I do understand it is the latency/ping that is the important factor for speed of downloading and hence uninterrupted viewing . Latency is hardly ever mentioned by the ISP companies , only bandwidth . Educated comments would be appreciated . Finally , I find it difficult to be able to find a technician who can troubleshoot my problems and TOT do not seem to care . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Try switching to another ISP if there is one in your area. As for your online pursuits, we are not allowed to discuss them here.

I think I´ve read somewhere here on TV that somebody posted about some of the boxes not being able to run future/upcoming version of the OS and thus rendering these boxes "more or less useless" for new apps etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a significant learning curve for using Android boxes along with services such as KODI. I suggest you search YouTube for Kodi and Android TV Box and watch some videos. There are individuals and dealers around who will sell you a box "all set up" but that does not mean it will work problem free. A lot depends on the quality and capacity your internet connection.
