    Got it 2 days ago. Its got kodi and aload of addons. I can watch movies fine. Live tv utter *****. I watched a thing live yet. It either comes up with nothing or plays for a few seconds and goes to black screen and i have to press backup. I have great fibre speed. 50mbps after 8pm and about 25-30 all other times.

    Anyone help or suggest as im pissed off with this little blackbox

    Not great for free live TV to be honest.

    Mate, the trouble with these 'android boxes' is people think they can replace their 80 quid sky package with one. You just can't, and people should stop thinking they're the same thing.

    I watch live TV all the time, in fact I'm watching it now. I just plugged a bent metal coat hanger into the aerial socket on my TV.

    Best to buy a sub from a reliable IPTV provider. I will post a video of my setup later to show what can be done with these boxes. Like I and others have said previously, before you buy do some research to make sure its for you. Not just a case of plug and play like people think

    I have a zgemma and an iptv. Zgemma is by far the better option
