HDPrime....the new Ilikehd

[KhonKaenKowboy]

So if you have Ilikehd points you need to transfer them to www.hdprime.TV.   it was very easy to do.  Now you get more channels, but it looks like 380 per month....has anyone tried it?  Ilikehd was kind of sucking lately, hope it is improved.  I would rather have 10 good, reliable channels than 600 that are nowhere near reliable.  My US credit card just worked to buy exactly the amount of points I needed for the package.  Three ESPN....If you have any programming questions, as far as what works, just ask, and I will give it a try and let you know.  (provided you aren't a known Marxist.)

I think you can get a 7-day free trial via their Facebook site.

I'm pretty impressed by it, however the Formula 1 race in Monaco was nearly unwatchable with constant hangups. Other than that I have no complaints.

[KhonKaenKowboy]

I am watching one of the natgeo channels at 720 HD. I was wondering g if it is better to use the Flash or the HTML.....and if certain feeds are more consistent.

[EL159]

Wow. Sounds really (Not) good....."I was pretty impressed by it however the Monaco Gran Prix was nearly unwatchable" What a recommendation !! Truevisions might be expensive but at least its reliable, whereas the rest are pretty much crap by comparison.

 

I guess "you get what you pay for", pay cheap cheap, get crap, pay more, get full HD on Rugby, Football, Golf, Tennis, Formula 1.....I like it reliable, not buffering and freezing all the time!

[Bassosa]

Yep Monaco GP was a fail but other than that its been flawless.

 

I'm only here once in a while, no point for me to sign up with True. I travel a lot.

An alternative that has been working well for me is Players Klub. It costs $5 per month. They have a stanalone Android app for it but also a Kodi addon, which works much better. Most of the channels work without buffering for us using AIS's 50/10 Fibre Internet package.

I have to say they have not really developed a glitch free service at the moment and all I got was freezing and stuff when they really sort it out it's goodbye LAZY true with all their repeats etc.

Are you using RJ45 cable or WiFi to connect your PC to router?,

RJ45 cable will give you better results than using WiFi connection.

especially when trying to stream Movies ect.

My wife usually watches Thai TV via ILIKEHD but this morning we tried to access the site but has been shut down. A message said for Thai TV we should change to U Play, this has now become a paid service for the basic Thai channels, what do other members do to watch Thai TV.

I haven't used it for the purposes of watching Thai TV, but doesn't the AIS Playbox Android box that they give you for free when you sign up for AIS Fibre give you Thai TV for free? You can install Kodi and most other Android apps on that thing too.

I was looking for the same today, and found several including Thai TV, but they are all intended for touch screens so you can't scroll through the menu with a remote. You need a wireless mouse or air mouse for that.

Yeah, I have a wireless mouse, and yes it works fine, thanks.

My remark was actually because I would like to find such an app that works with the remote, same as IlikeHD did.

I noticed the "Warning! We are experiencing network issues in Europe, UK and other European channels may be unstable until this situation is resolved." 

 

Not for me. I've tried a few and they're okay. They must have ironed out their difficulties in the last few hours..?

I switched from IlikeHD to the new, improved HDPrime and the first week or so it worked quite well. All the live TV channels seemed to work much better than the Ilike site. A few days ago the live TV channels stopped working or buffer constantly. An email to them and reply says their supplier in the UK is having issues and it may be 3 to 5 days to sort it out. Has been 3 days already and the TV channels are really horrible now. The movies and series part is still up and working ok

[DPGumbypgh]

I have credit on Ilikehd that i have transferred to the new HDPrime. will eventually use it after the teething trouble are over and the football season starts again.
Does anyone know if the new service includes all of the true/bein premier league shows? Have they manage to make the catch up TV work reliably. Always was poor using Ilikehd5 app.
I have  been using two new paid addons to kodi that work very well in thailand. Players Klub that was mentioned before in this thread, very good for USA channels but only British sports channels for $5 per month. Boom Boom Room is the other which is better for all of the UK entertainment channels and a lot of USA channels as well. Boom Boom has a better EPG than Player klub. Boom Boom is $9:50 a month but allows two logins at once so you could share a login with a friend. I share with a friend in UK and it works good there too.
Both can be set up to work using IPTV players like Perfect Player or GSE IPTV and work better than with KODI. Having two different ones costs about the same as HDprime now and gives more reliability as never had both go down at once.

Agree. I have two others providers that are cheaper, more flexible than HDPrime and work without a hitch. I was a member of iLikeHD before it switched to HDPrime but wont be going back.

Can you please enlighten me what the other 2 providers are? Links or something. Thanks as I am not thrilled with HDPrime

This is the current message posted on the screens of the HDPrime web pages:

 

Latest News (03 June 2017)

• The situation with our network in Europe is proving to be more complicated than we anticipated, it may take us until 15/06 to have all sorted out properly. We will extend user TV packages to make up for lost time when this is back to normal.
• Additionally, we are sorry to announce our facebook page has been shut down, please contact us by email for any assistance. As we are all hands on deck to work out the Europe streaming issues, e-mail responses may be delayed by several hours.
• Lastly, our credit card payment facility is currently unavailable, we expect this to be back online in a week. Please use TrueMoney from any 7-11 shop, or contact us for alternative payment options.

The other poster mentioned Players Klub and Boom Boom which I have never tried but was just agreeing other services can be better than HDPrime. I am using Flawless and Over The Top which I have been with nearly a year each and no complaints generally.

[stevenl]

Hd prime just shut down for me, message saying it has shut down indefinitely.

 

Looking for alternatives now, preferably through the mini box I have.

[Somtamnication]

They just closed shop! 5 minutes ago.
