    FFS this thread might as well have been posted in Chinese for all the sense it makes.

    BTW would they boxes work with my Specrum ZX?

    That's all I do. Once you have got your head round all the repos and addons it's a doddle.
    [MENTION=6844]andytyke[/MENTION] is your stalker still working?

    Yeah, not sure what's happening with it. Got it working on 4 boxes so not complaining, get the odd error message but just try the channel again and up it pops no problem. Seen a lot of posts from people that have paid for it through some dodgy account and not getting the service, been given wrong MAC id's and stuff and now £60 out of pocket. KODI/XBMC been around a lot longer than IPTV but still loads of decent streams out there, not complaining though while mine is still working free gratis

    You need at least 10-12 mb or it will constantly buffer and be very grainy

    Getting my dad one, he's not on fibre optic, think they get about 6mb.

    kids stream Netflix and kodi on their laptops over the wifi there so I'm hoping it will be ok. It'll be wired via Ethernet which is always Better anyway

    I am a software consultant and like to think of myself as pretty tech savvy but I haven't got a Scooby what he is on about!
