Stretch Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) My wdtv got fried by lightening... As did my TV... What do you reckon is the best combination... My TV was only 32" so the insurance payout will only be about 4k. Here's what I need.... Linking to my media server via the network... Being able to access services like Netflix Tunein etc... Added extras would be to link to filmon.tv and sports devil etc... Or just browse a website I was thinking roku3 and normal HD TV as per my previous set... Maybe a 40" Is roku3 xbmc based? Because then you can get all the Addons Edited October 25, 2015 by Stretch

Lexx Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Since Tuesday, I've got a problem watching Hulu through my PS3? If I watch on my PC, it works 100%, but as soon as I open the app, it just keeps on saying Loading....I did delete the app and re-install and my ADSL speed is over 2.5mbps.But, Netflix and all the other apps are working fine on my PS3?Does anyone have a solution? I tried mailing Hulu, but they just say re-install en Delete...

You add app which they call channels and there are a ton of them available. Stretch 1

RocknRolla Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Trying out netflix. Are the lates episodes available on netflix? I am not seeing the latest seasons of a lot of series. Is it because i am using the trail version? Seems everything is a season behind.

Will go and have a look, thanks Rocket-Boy
Joeboy69 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Netflix focuses more on having the entire history of a series available. If you also subscribe to Hulu you will find mostly recent episodes there. So the 2 compliment each other well. Lexx 1

Any solutions will be appreciated, maybe so ring like chromecast

Seems a bit messy but here it is anyway:http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://tvcric.info/khantv-to-live-cricket-channels-streaming-watching-on-the-roku-player/ I can tell you there are a million private roku channels that have everything you can imagine, I have watched twitch streams and even watched the whole TDF live on the roku through a channel a friend found.

Joe De Beer Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Excellent thanks for the links. Will give them a try when back home, will give feedback here or post questions [emoji106] Is there a specific site where you search through the private channels for the TdF etc?

kosmonooit Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I installed a very neat little Google TV Android 4.2 box for a friend recently, works a treat, adding apps etc from Google Play, lots of games for the kids, FlightTracker for dad... YouTube for mom. They have Fibre to the Home coming soon, I suggested 20 Mbps Uncapped for starters although it remains to be seen how provisioned that service is going to be upstream. Only limitation with this is no Flash, so one cant take advantage of a lot of the PC browser-based streaming thats doing down, or any Browser based service that wants Windows gizmos like Active X. It plays full HD no problem, I see most of them support UHD/4K now. Lexx 1
kosmonooit Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Is there a specific site where you search through the private channels for the TdF etc? Cylingfans.com is on the ball, follow Pete on Twitter as well @cyclingfans
