Stretch Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 How good is the streaming quality on Netflix? I have a 2mb ADSL account...not superfast. I streamed it on 2mb
Stretch Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I've been off DSTV a good 3 or so years now, only really watch sport, series and movies. Just acquired a 'decoder' from Dubai (50Dhms, about R150). Hooked it up to my old DSTV dish & LNB, chose HOTBIRD AND PAS7 and searched. Came up with about 25 free channels. However, these are all religious and not something I was hoping for!!!! I've not adjusted the dish at all, so I'm assuming I'm receiving the same satellite that DSTV run. I KNOW DANGEROUS LITTLE ABOUT THIS, I KNOW HOW TO ADJUST A DISH, EAST, WEST, UP AND DOWN and using a compass. Anyone here know more than me and happy to tell me what to do, or if I'm just wasting my time???? Is there anything other than religious on FREE TO AIR????? my neighbour yeeeears ago did this and he got some european channels too...im sure google will tell you where to point your dish to get the best/most free channels HeyYou 1
Wayne Potgieter Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 So you only load balancing the two lines? Not bonding them? Who's your provider? Decent speed you got there :-)Bonding is very difficult. It has to be done at source and at destination. My ISP is telkom. The load balancer works well for P2P as it is not one connection to one source. R600 for that load balancer and bobs your aunty.

Joeboy69 Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Remember the Red Bull app is streaming the XCO today for those without DSTV. Actually I don't know if DSTV is showing it !

Fire Engine Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Hi all I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this for me. I canned my DSTV about 2 years ago and get movies and series from mates. I have also bought a Popcorn hour media player which I basically use as a hard drive but can use it to watch you tube etc what is the best app or whatever that I can download to use to watch sporting event series etc. I'm probably one of the least tech savvy people so if anybody can help please explain SLOWLY. Thanks.
BeegMig Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Remember a few years ago when DSTV had this advert and actually said that it's your own fault if you don't use the TV guide to plan your viewing around repeats.
BeegMig Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Remember a few years ago when DSTV had this advert and actually said that it's your own fault if you don't use the TV guide to plan your viewing around repeats.Then a bit longer ago, when they had a big price hike there was this advert were they asked people on street what they would do without DSTV, mostly kids and teenagers. One had a answer : " Eish I will cry!"( Ja,,, wait til you have to pay that bill - then you'le cry! )
Lurch the stalker Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 One had a answer : " Eish I will cry!"( Ja,,, wait til you have to pay that bill - then you'le cry! )My favourite childhood memory is not having to pay bills... Not sure how anyone could say they need it, what with all the loadshedding nothing works half the time anyway...

When you use either of the addons for the first time it will ask for your filmontv login details. The UK channel ITV4 is covering the TdF live !

HeyYou Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 If you have your Pi up and running with kodi, make sure you have either or both Expat tv or the FTV addon installed. Go to the website filmontv and register, keep your login details. When you use either of the addons for the first time it will ask for your filmontv login details. The UK channel ITV4 is covering the TdF live ! British Eorosport showed the Giro in English. To find ITV4 and Eurosport go to myiplayer.com. Need a UK VPN to watch catchup, but that's easy enough.
