The IPTV Crackdown Continues: A Thread For Customers Not Resellers

[Toddy2]

Firesticks are junk anyway. Terrible UI, full of ads and awful memory/storage

I'm not a big fan but they are great for taking abroad and on holidays.
Mine was perfect in a Turkish hotel.
Don't think I would have taken the Shield Pro with me

You should have left it there 🤣

They’re ok if you’re only after basic use and not interested in watching anything super high quality. Try running implayer with vlc player and it’ll spontaneously combust.

Plus it’s a take that they don’t have a usb-c port. Although it’s the only Android non-tv device with channel 4.

I didn't want all that , it run Tivimate and VLC no problem.
I don't like imPlayer , it all fitted behind the hotel TV without them knowing.
I don't use it apart from traveling so not defending it's use as a go to device.
Hope you do well in the playoffs 😃

Thanks, but my team did not make the playoffs, they are already in the Prem

It runs fine with the internal player, but when you use the external player, i.e. VLC, they struggle. Implayer has a timeshift function and that struggles on a firestick.

That's why you should have left it there

so not defending it's use as a go to device.

It's good as a go to device if all you are doing is running tivimate. The shield pro is overkill for those 25fps ifollow games, you'll need the firestick in 25/26 again.

I'm not a lover of the stick even though I use one on the TV upstairs,it does a turn.The one thing I thought was a p*ss take was the official ethernet adapter they sell for £15'ish.
I bought one thinking I'll get full wack now 300mbps but the adapters throttled at 100mbps

Easily enough for streaming though and I personally prefer Ethernet connection over WiFi on a streaming device.

The homatics stick device has that ethernet slot

Yes rip off cheap one from ebay will do the same job.

 

[mike123]

Makes you wonder how they sell so many if they are that bad🤔

Because the are cheap probably

 

[manic01]

Not particularly

 

[mike123]

Probably advise a chromestick over a firestick all day but what ever works for you works.

What vpn do you use for this please?

 

[Toddy2]

What vpn do you use for this please?

I used Express to sign up Egypt on Tablet then Stream locator app, but it's a bit hit and miss ATM, I think it works better for those with Stream locator hub!
Work in progress
