How do these services go with dodgy broadband access?

I struggle to watch a three minute YouTube video most nights without buffering. Can't imagine trying to watch an actual program.

Google xbmc or kodi as a start and go from there. Might need good internet access though.

everyone with Foxtel is in that boat....

Yep we've had it twice now for a year at a time and by the end of the year it's all the same crap so off it goes.

Kodi is great,

Kodi, Netflix and Youtube are our go to sources for our family, commercial TV only gets a look in when the BBL or 50/50 cricket is on.

Another vote for Netflix. My Internet connection is crap and is punishing when watching YouTube or most other streaming sites but I rarely have buffering or issues with Netflix.

I don't watch much live sports or sports in general. Some say they watch live overseas sport but don't know how much they get.

Linux. Easy. I'm Running Kodi on a raspberry Pi via retropi with touchscreen. Kodi Main menu. Programs. Addons. Add channels to your hearts content

If you haven't done so already check out youtube there are plenty of how to videos. When I first started using Kodi I used the TV Addons wizard as i found that had a heap of really good addons already built in to it. Google "TV Addons Install" plenty of info to start you off.

xcvator · « **Reply #37 on:** January 22, 2016, 11:13:34 PM »

KODI I love you

OMG

I think I like my tv set again

I had an old laptop so I installed the linux version, it ran semi ok but there were problems, now this really hurts, but I installed windows 7 then kodi and it ran perfectly

Just for fun, did a test viewing of "The Revenant" all 3 hours of it

and it ran flawlessly, tonight swmbo watched "Call the midwife" series 5, again, ran perfectly, is it legal

nfi, do I care

not really

I have MY choice of programs back

#jonesy · « **Reply #38 on:** January 23, 2016, 07:00:27 AM »

I have Presto running through the tbox.
Movies are broken into categories, action, drama etc.
they are in no order for example it has the Rocky movies a good think 2 appears first then a Bit later through the catalogue another pops up and so on. It can't be hard to list 1,2,3,4,500 one after another. The choice of movies isnt that great. A lot would have been in the bargain bin at the video shop in the old days.
TV has an okay list, it has Walking Dead but only to season 5

Need to get a new ISP then likely to get Netflix.

Careful

If meat weighing gets justified as having warrant less access to metadata, the movie production houses are a shoe in.

VPN's will not save you either. They will pick someone in this country and make a patsy out of them.

Have a look at the website Rainierland. It streams new release movies and TV shows ( Walking Dead, GOT etc)
That and Netflix for me

It takes a little while to get your head around but Youtube is your friend.

DaveR · « **Reply #44 on:** January 25, 2016, 04:30:49 PM »

All this info is really helpful.
We have free to air telle, and that is it. Don't have time to watch it.
Had foxtel years ago due to living where no TV reception, gave it up and swore never again.
This netflicks caper, do they have adds like foxtel?
