    Have a look on EBay mate. I got one of those quad ones, supposed to be one of the latest models and got a free wireless keyboard. Not happy that it was advertised as 5 G, but an only get 2G connection. I have 5 g capability as this IPad testifies. I downloaded the IPTV stalker app, and can get all the usual Sports channels and several film channels. Well worth the money in my opinion. They range from about £40 to £60.I Paid £55 for mine .
    Edit: Alll cables\connections and a remote provided. also, some pre-loaded stuff as well.

    still to look at all features, ill have a depth look tomorrow and get back to you

    Mine came from the cables, the tiny box, a remote which comes with headphones so if you dont want anyone to hear what you're listening to you can plug those into the remote

    Get one of these

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-MXq-A...a-Player-Kit-Kat-M8-MX-1G-8G-UK-/321355752462

    Bought 2 last week, 1 for my son and the other for my mum. Loads of videos and tutorials about on youtube to help you get setup, loads of free content, word of warning about IPTV Stalker though. It goes to a paid service from the 15th July

    That is the 1 question I want to know the answer to. I don't care about movies, foreign tv channels, American soaps/comedy, I don't even care about other sports channels other than the sky ones.

    Yes you can. If you take a look at my video I play ss3 and ssn. But you can get every sports channel you can think of

    Kektyke..

    Do you get much buffering an motion blur on the IPTV sports channels ? Last time I had a play about with em that was my biggest issue. Also, have you needed to use a premium pay server?

    I've used NTV and had trials with Ruya and others but found that I could get the same quality for free. I get buffering every now and again but a reset of the router generally sorts it out. Got 4 boxes on the house and at night all in use and work well. You do get motion blur, but I have found some hd streams which are not as bad
