So what do people think is best: a homeplug (already have a TP-Link one spare) or maybe a cheap network switch which will take the CAT6 cable going to VF box as source and split it between the Shield and VF box?

Open bin.
Place vodafone TV box in bin.
Download stbemu on Shield.

Problem sorted.

Don't get me wrong.. I've got IPTV too, but VF sub is only a tenner more than my BB so not breaking the bank.

Isn't Plex on it out-of-the-box - thought I saw it in the menu. Need to look into it a bit as don't know a massive amount about it.

Yeah, I'm investigating VPN options at the minute though battling a Paypal dispute with StackSocial over dodgy VPN offerings.

Yeah, of course it is. Update to the latest though. The Shield server is meant to be pretty good, but I run it on a separate server.

Getflix is a DNS service, not VPN. It spoofs your IP to the service so it thinks you’re in a different location. It doesn’t have encryption of the data, but it also doesn’t have an impact on speeds.

Does getflix find work with a VF modem? I had express VPN ,worked for a while,then I player stuttered and stammered,can one change the DNS on the router?,if so is it easy to do? I'm a luddite,tnx.

Vf modem ? If that’s Vodafone you can change it on the router in about 2 minutes
You add a Dublin ip and a uk ip and then just enable us Netflix as and when you want it

That tenner is better spent elsewhere once you have saorview as a back up
Vodafone offered me their tv thing free for a year and I said no
The fella at the door was very confused

Out of interest what would you actually get on that VF TV deal for a tenner?

Got this gigabit switch for 12stg recently

Plug and play, and uses only 1.5watts.

The lineup is fairly decent. All the Irish channels and plenty from the UK. I'd say the basic package they were doing a deal on around here has 50+ channels including Eir Sport.

The problem everyone I know who got it was having was the box and channels crashing were randomly. The box would also freeze up and catch up worked when it felt like it. I've heard the same thing about the Eir IPTV offering.

3 people where I live got it and all 3 ended up unplugging it and getting a mag instead. I assumed Basq was having the same problems because he's in Sligo too. It might only be an issue in my area though.

Mine's been fine but it did take a couple of phone calls initially for them to sort it.. plus they're a no-go with homeplugs. A decent CAT6 cable and all has been good - bar some of the Irish channels (3e, TV3+1) being occassionally iffy but not enough to irk me too much.

Spent an hour or two last night setting up Shield.. Kodi up-and-running, RetroX up-and-running and Smart IPTV app.

Installed and downloaded a couple of PS1 ROM's for RetroX the other evening, when I click play on either of them, I just see a spinner in the top-right continually spin and game never starts. Anyone ever see this? Dodgy ROM.. I got two and both are the same though.

There is quite a long instruction manual for ps roms, they aren't as straightforward as the more primitive consoles such as an nes.

Did you read the 'readme'.txt file?

Edit, also, the smart IPTV app, can I just ask why your putting that on the shield?

Don't get me wrong, I use that app too, but only on the smart tv upstairs in my bedroom as it eliminates the need for an android device altogether.
