Android/Dream Box [ Illegal discussion = Ban ]

Kenjataimu

I'm interested in getting something like this but not sure where to start.

Anyone got a link for a noob like me that explains what you can do with these boxes?

Kodi have stopped supporting apple TV.
Android boxes are far superior to them anyways.

I have an Amiko Alien/Enigma2 box at the moment, but thinking of investing in one of these also.

^^ For that kind of price you will be better of getting Minix x8-h plus. Amlogic S812 Vs Amlogic S802 chip.

Down to your server. I don't think that kind of talk is allowed on boards though.

What was the question

That could have been the actual stream itself in this instance - live events get an unbelievable amount of traffic on servers, no matter where they are being sourced so it could have been an issue there. If you were getting speeds of over 2.5MB for SD and 5-6 for HD, then you should have had no issues. Did you try a different add on or app to watch something else? How did that work out? (Please don't name individual add ons though as the thread will probably be closed)

I've seen those Amiko boxes advertised a few times now, has anyone got any experience or feedback on them? Would be handy to have a satellite and XBMC/Kodi box all in the one device....

I got the Sab Android 1 HD which has android 4.2 seems good but you will want to buy it flashed already as I tried putting Enigma 2 on and it failed.

Box arrived today at lunch time just set it up very easy to set it up
option for windows 10 if you want
I bypassed that just using windows 8.1 for the moment getting used to it
KODI on the windows set up 10 min with a particular wizard which installs loads of addons and lots of repos which you can tweak later
Its a nice little box really quick and easy to use
going to have a look at he android part later

Just take the photos on your phone and when your typing out your message hit attach files look for them then and add.

Someone else might be able to tell you how to embed. I haven't figured that out yet.

what do people think of this one? http://www.ebay.ie/itm/251533810021?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

How would it compare to a Celeron dual-core mini Windows pc?

daytob

This the one? just need to load up some stuff onto it.

That is a fairly solid Android box, a lot of Irish and UK box sellers stock them. Some people say Kodi runs better on Windows but I have used one of these for a year or so with no issues.

My Sky got officially cut off Saturday and my Android box never buffered once before then but Murphy's law it was all over the place for the Liverpool game last night, i tried everything but nothing could make it rise like that bird from the ashes, it was far from Ace and the V olume was like it was Dubt 25 times? Even the powers of the Greek god of the sky were no good, i might aswel have been on a slow moving river in the Netherlands without a paddle!
Any other suggestions via PM would be greatly appreciated.

For fear of being accused back seat modding, can the lads edit their posts so certain app names are not visible?

In fairness, this thread is a great source of information and help for Android box owners, and it'd be a real shame if it got terminated due to a few lads mentioning the unmentionable.

BandMember

I'm not going to mention any names, but, free add ons are extremely unreliable - they come, they go and their servers get hammered during any major events which will cause buffering issues. Also, the quality is rubbish. I cannot discuss it further here because I do not want to get what is a very useful and helpful thread closed down.

P.S. Mods: Sorry if I've overstepped the mark here, please delete this post rather than closing the thread. Thanks.

I think we should start our own site.....notboards.ie and talk about all the evil things that are not allowed here
