    Why do you need a vpn for iptv ?

    I dont use one but I suppose it would stop an ISP from throttling your service if that ever became an issue.
    I don't think it would with there being channels coming from several different places.

    No need for one when using iptv
    Smart dns is handy for the uk channels, I use getflix and also gives me the option of Netflix USA

    My speeds haven’t been throttled and I’m using serious amount of internet here, all my viewing is via the shield online

    I’m trying to download an apk and it downloads (afaik) but I can’t find it anywhere after it downloads. Any ideas where it might go?

    There is also a Tips and Tricks thread in the Android section for general discussion of the Shield.

    Unless a user reports something or there’s is a link to something illegal then we are safe enough, it’s only chat and advice after all and it is probably best kept on the tips and trick thread

    Will they take it back no questions asked?? Do you know how long it takes to get cash back also I'm getting through parcel motel and it hasn't arrived in the north yet although it's been dispatched do I have to wait until I physically have it before I can cancel it.

    If it's Amazon just cancel the order. I've cancelled stuff that was already dispatched before. They'll recall it as long as it's not delivered, no hassle

    What this lad said. ^^^

    In fact I'd nearly say that getting on to customer care might see the more expensive one get the difference refunded, that's how much faith I put in amazon.

    Anyone that has been on the fence about a shield should really grab the opportunity now at this price.

    It's really really in a field of its own in comparison with other devices.

    Just running stbemu on it this morning here watching the All Blacks v Argentina on iptv in stunning HD. The kids will be playing fortnite on it later, and the wife will have it playing stuff via Google home later. It gets used by everyone in here.

    stop thinking about it, it will be the best 170 odd euro you'll ever spend.

    I might do that because when I go to the returns process it seems that there is no returns label provided and because I got mine delivered to parcel motel in the north it's telling me to go to a Royal mail p o. And they will print the return label

    Parcel Motel have received it then, if you want to return now you'll have to receive it and then pay parcel Motel again for them to put it in royal mail paying parcel Motel twice. Not worth the hassle now

    Just got onto live support I received mine yesterday and he said they couldn't return the difference but did say I could return my item for a full refund and order again. It's not worth that hassel so he then offered me 4 months prime membership I'll take that thank you.
