Let me introduce KODI to you...

[Stretch]

If sport was mega important..I would use one of the paid services where you pay like 10 quid for the Eurosport and sky streams

[carbon29er]

if you have DSTV can you not use your code to stream for free from DSTV ... ?

 

Can't recall the details, but I know it is something along those lines 

Yes, DSTV comes with up to 4 devices in use simultaneously. SO get you auntie or granny's account details.

 

It's just a pity Mobdro doesn't stream HD.

Hi Guys, 

 

New to the Kodi app, and loving it so far. Just been streaming through a tablet, but looking to get the Mygica android box. 

 

Anyone used one, that can comment. 

[Rocket-Boy]

I have used various android boxes and they are all quite similar in performance.

A little fiddly at times but they get the job done.

Is anybody else battling with streams buffering recently? I have checked available line speed and that is fine. (between 7-10,5 Mb/s) Buffering is happening in Exodus, SALTS, Phoenix, RedBull TV and Mobdro so I wouldn't say that it is any program in particular. Thought that there may be an issue with international connections at the moment. It's starting to get really irritating and I am looking at going back to downloading series again....

I have been solid and running a 6mb line on the best of days. Occasional buffer, but nothing noteworthy. Using Exodus 99.9978% of the time.

Thanks. We can't get through anything at the moment without buffering every couple of minutes... Even RedBull TV has a few glitches as it adjusts the stream quality based on available speed.

My home ISP is Afrihost.... and now that you mention it, I have been battling a bit with WhatsApp messages going through (MTN) or maybe it's just the cr@p S5 Mini that I am using at the moment....

There's a Seacom cable problem.

It may be affecting your ISP.

Yes also battling a bit. Especially with sports TV streams on Sunday. I see cfcjim mentioned the Seacom cable.

Afrihost claim they dont use seacom

[cfcjim]

Afrihost claim they dont use seacom

They do, but are not completely reliant on its service. From their website:

 

Global Connectivity

We have improved our international capacity to multi-Gbps connections on the WACS, Seacom, EASSy, Sat-3 and SAFE cables. The Durban IPC breaks directly onto EASSy while Johannesburg and Cape Town's IPC traffic is routed onto a guaranteed multi-Gbps WACS cable.

when I asked them why there was no notification of the problem - this was there response to me:

 

That is because we do not rely on the Seacom infrastructure at all

 

you can never know can you  - lol
