    Hi

    I've just finished renovations on a holiday let rental. I don't want to install an aerial or satellite dish. I am getting fibre installed. The TV, a Panasonic HD plasma, is a not a smart TV. However, I would like those renting to be able to stream all of the normal Irish and british channels as well as have Netflix, Disney, prime etc. I'm not looking sky movies or sports just the bog standard stuff. Is there a streaming box that someone could recommend that is user friendly, inexpensive to buy and is not too laggy. Thanks in advance

    For most of what you need a firestick would do the job, for tv channels you'll need a tunner (arial required) or an iptv subscription

    Thanks. I considered a fire stick but the chances are it would go missing in a rental. An IPTV subscription might be the solution. An recommendations on a particular box (rather than subscription details)

    I just did something similar. Got fibre broadband installed just added Vodafone tv box included in price .Happy enough with Irish ,Uk and Netflix and record /catch up .

    Great idea. How good is the Vodafone box? Does it have Disney plus or Prime or can they be downloaded? Would you mind if I asked if you got a deal on this package?

    Its very good. I got the basic poverty pack sports ,movies etc can be added for a premium. Got the free to air kids channels not sure about amazon as I am not there presently. Easy enough to navigate and has a usb slot in front .Price is 45 euro https://n.vodafone.ie/shop/tv.html

    Just buy a smart tv, you'd pick one up for <350, most come with Disney prime Netflix preinstalled then add your own IPTV app if one is not already on the tv, no box to go missing then, less wires, its a win win,
