Read lots of good reviews for those ones, mine is an older version, does the job though.

Glebee · 04-03-2016 04:21PM

These must be completely illegal though. Can Sky and such other companies not get them take down???

I almost certain my local pub has started using these for matches. They got rid of sky a few years ago because of the cost and now all of a sudden matches are back but no pint icon in the bottom of the screen.

Pretty sure I have the same one.

One thing I'll advise for any of these boxes. Avoid wireless, you do not want another variable. Use Ethernet our get a set of homeplugs to get a wired connection to the box, well work out much smoother

Have the homeplugs and done a sppeed test, 30mbps download, and 8ms pings.. Looses a bit on wifi but not to much

Anything over about 8 mbit is fine, it's consistency and low latency you need. Wi-Fi it's a shared frequency therefore someone else in another room watching YouTube on their phone can have you fighting over bandwidth as your router will only talk to one at a time

Wireless has packet loss at a ridiculously higher rate than cables.

Always better to use cables where possible.

Isn't that a different kind of box though? connected to the Satellite dish where the other one is just streaming.

im running kodi through an amazon firestick and the likes of Pheonix/Uk Turks etc... is not connecting to BT Sports or Sky etc. Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't, very sporadic.Anyone any tips on improving the connectivity or additional add-ons to use?
cheers

Pochettino on Alli...He is an incredible athlete, yes but he is not a machine. He has a problem in his ankle and knee."

Then its time to rest him.

Clinton N'Jie is nearing his return to the Tottenham first-team after more than two months out with a knee injury.

Rumour: http://www.90min.com/posts/3017504-tottenham-hotspur-in-talks-with-nike-over-lucrative-30m-per-year-kit-deal?a_aid=35322

Us signing a deal with Nike?

It's a rumour which has been doing the round for a while, also possible naming rights for the stadium too.

Kiith · 09-03-2016 04:01PM

As someone who really likes the Under Armour gear that we have, i wouldn't be too happy with this. It must be a good deal though, so it may be a good deal for the club.

Yeah I love the current kit. I'd want to keep it for a few seasons but in this day and age it changes every season!

mass_debater · 09-03-2016 09:32PM

I would assume the future stadium sponsorship could have something to do with a change, there's been rumours of the Nike stadium

positivenote · 10-03-2016 01:16AM

with the NFL connections its going to be nike

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed he turned down a Tottenham approach in 2012 because 'everything became a bit weird'.

I think Arsenal should go all out for one of;

Simeone, Tuchel, or Pochetino.

Might be a little early to get Tuchel after just a season at Dortmund, but all three are potentially gettable I think with the right offer. Simeone has pretty much done what he can at Atleti, and the other two have already shown their ambition to move to a bigger project when the opportunity arrises.

I think the same for ManU incidentally.

Just spotted this in the arsenal thread.

Have to saw that watching Arsenlol TV on you tube these days after matches is a great laugh....:) Always guaranteed a melt down..

Their meltdown is even nicer when their owner came out last week and said if you wanted to win championships you wouldn't get involved. So they need a new owner and a manager.......at least Levy keeps his mouth shut

tippspur · 15-03-2016 12:02AM

Leicester had one shot on goal and won the game:mad:

irishmover · 15-03-2016 01:23AM

I've got two arsenal mates in work. I've found myself consoling them the past couple days.

Poor buggers.
