Was removed alright but will be back in some format soon he said.

If he's anything like a couple of similar people, it'll come back with adverts and charges.
I don't really agree with the installers, as it's quite easy to do yourself, but if you don't have the time, another one, is totalxbmc.tv

They have simple links to broken addons (Apparently very up to date) so no messing around trying to figure out why somethings not working.
Live chat also handy.
Also, they're not likely to point you in the direction of one addon over another to earn cash. They will just recommend their chosen favourites.

I haven't spent a lot of time looking at it, but it does allow the user to decide for themselves, which is something the others don't.

Tutorials there too..
If nothing else, it's worth a look.

Is the Kobimatic app offline for some reason?

I was about to be a smart ar$e and tell you there is no sich thing as Kobimatic but having checked Kodimatic it does look like it's disappeared or been forced offline. The https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUXeiMQL-ks&feature=youtu.be&a link on his Twitter account leads to a geological website who are obviously aware of the XBMC service as they refer to it on their homepage but the link they provide isn't correct.

A short but (in)glorious commercial venture to sell XBMC add-on's???

thanks...

i have a chromecast at the moment but im thinking about an android box because of xmbc and also because i could also watch rte player on my tv... i dont have a record facility as im not a sky/upc customer... very interested in this thread

I have UPC and to be honest at this stage I only use it for Cbeebies :-) and that is for my 1 year old to watch "The night garden"

Don't use the record anymore because I can just pull any TV series I want from XBMC. It is waste of money to have the UPC but on 12 month contract and the BB is tied into bundle and I got good deal so its not too bad.....

I think when contract is up will see what deal I can get on broadband only and then just install Saorview/Freeview in the house and use everything else via XBMC

IF outside Ireland you need to find RTE loaded into a ad on, I had it before but for the life of me I can't remember how and when

Will do a bit of looking around and see...

Otherwise if outside Ireland you will need to use a proxy server in Ireland or something like tunnelbear

thanks...

I had same issue, in the firmware update screen it was spelt wrong. I had serious issues with XBMC, getting ethernet working etc

The reason for this is Futeko have stock they take off the shelf but some of the boxes are shipped with the first firmware. I would recommend you update the firmware before you start to install anything. Otherwise you are going to run into problems fairly soon.....

Question is are you looking to run RTE player outside Ireland?

No I used the default XBMC for Minix for everything on my set up(a few posts ago) Not sure if it will work with Koditime as I don't use.

Have you run the firmware update over the air? in setting's. Just see if it is spelt right.....

For the saving of about €20 I think I would rather buy from Futeko.No saving made if its caught for customs and if there is a problem its only getting sent to UK and not China.

I get & agree with what you're saying. Its just that I had Pandawill open when I saw Dahat's query.:)

$148.00 on Pandawill.com. If you wish you can leave a note on the value matter at checkout. They have a range of delivery options. Check them out. I found Singapore Post offers the least chance of thoes pesky customs guys getting their mits on it. I got 2 phones through via them.

Futeko is the best place unless you want to take the chance on some of the sites shipping from outside the EU.They are cheaper if you dont get caught for customs.Plenty of sellers on amazon.co.uk who will be similar prices.

I ordered off Futeko yesterday on the recommendations here.
