    Plug them into HDMI and run them off your WIFI. Brilliant for box sets and films.

    Not watched any sport on it yet but there's plenty of links avaliable .

    I've got Mobdro pre-installed but it needs updating. I can't even work out how to do that. I've somehow managed to get the download to start twice but twice it's failed (yes I'm connected to internet).

    You can google info/tutorials on how to download/install apps.
    I downloaded IPTV Stalker which was brilliant and then stopped working. I Was told that there is now subscription charge now. However, I've been told today by my brother that someone who he knows can now access it again. You might want to try googling install IPTV STalker on Kodi (I take it you have Kodi) Simply follow the instructions. If you have an App called Genesis pre-installed it's good for the latest movies.

    Not got that installed, but I guess there's info out there on Google perhaps.

    Already wasted an hour and half of my evening getting Mobdro to work.

    Think it'll probably end up being one of those things I put down as an experience and never use it.

    Been thinking about getting one of these for ages, can you actually watch telly on them without an app, ie just switch it on and off you go like a sky box? I've got modbro on my tablet and it's annoying with an advert every 3 minutes !!

    Ice Films and a few other apps stopped working at the weekend but I'm reliably informed I just need to change the URL. I'll try it when I can and let you know if it works.

    No you can't. Unless you want to spend hours of your spare time setting it up I'd say don't bother.

    Edit - they are great really. I've got one for sale if you're interested.

    They're a piece of piss once you get the hang of it. Remind me tomorrow and I'll give you some simple instructions

    Any guidance appreciated. I might find it a bit quicker to do stuff once my keyboard is charged.

    I've got 4 in the house all setup and working. Once you know what you are doing you can get the full sky package on it with a TV guide, couple of images

    Yep. Everything you need is there. Use YouTube and the net and you will soon be up and running

    Install Ivue TV Wizard, for the guide. Just a tv guide but if you install all the addons you can set it up perfectly:

    Addons i am using are:

    IPTV Stalker
    ZEUS
    Pear
    ISraelTV
    Sports Devil
    Operation Robocop
    Revenge IPTV
    UKTurk

    Search for Total installer in google and download that 1st and then search for these addons and install them
