I'm with Sky and my bill was about t go up to £66. Rang them and said I'm off to plus net and now TV. They said what about if we make it £31 a month!! Obviously I stuck with them.
There are some good videos on youtube, to tell you how to work it.
My resurrected sky thread ........ I started this and then went on holiday , back on it now lol
Thanks for all replys , it generaly goes over my head does all this stuff.
So have I got it right , I ditch sky , I presume they will still supply broadband and phone line
Buy an android box and buy a kodi stick and is that it ?
Thanks again guys

now got my box and it is looking good. have ditched paid for sky and gone to freesat from sky and gone to fibre broadband with them. mainly gone to freesat because the tv feeds on live tv weren't that good on the android box, however that could be my normal broadband is only about 2.4mbps.
I ditched virgin and have gone for the fire stick and installed kodi on it. Pretty good. HD quality on most tv programmes and some of the latest movies. Watched captain america civil war the other night and it was not bad
Missed this thread!!
I am on Virgin with 150mb broadband 🙂🙂🙂
I have an Amiko A3 box running android and Spark
I pay about £200 per year to a IPTV supplier and have all the channels you could ever want through a bespoke Kodi addon, every 3pm KO, all sky box office, all movies, foreign channels. They host them all on their servers so channels going down is really quite rare and its only a small set up so you can Facebook or tweet them and they will help you with any issues
I tried all the free add ons and got annoyed with all the crashing and broken links, found a month trail with these guys for about £20 and thought why not, and I'm about to renew for a year now
They have now even linked up with these guys: https://www.on-tapp.tv so it can look very pro! I have took this minor plunge yet mainly due to having the time

How much for the broadband Tom? I used kodi and just installed all add ons from husham. Great links I say. Watched a 3 pm kick off the other day but not the best quality. I have been looking into IPTV, you say it is worth it then?
£30 odd per month fit just broadband. I don't use a land line so no line rental. I did have it half price for 6 months as well I think.
IPTV is worth it IMHO. Do what I did and take a month out. Try it
Do you use the virgin media modem and wifi router? If so is it the super hub 2 and what is the connection like. I have the super hub 1 and it won't go through 2 walls. Only works in the room it is located in.
Yeh. Super hub 2. I'm in a 3 bed semi and it works all over including drive and garden. I sometimes have to use a VPN as virgin block some websites but all ISPs do that
Another one for kodi
They just held on , I am with them for another year .
This months payment is. £101 , is for everything , all channels, broadband and phone .
I rang up and moaned on Tue , got it down to £87
I rang up and moaned ( and said I was leaving ) on Wed, guy tweaked it lost a few channels we never watch and got it to £63.
I pay nothing. Pm me!
Will do , thank you
Hi Tom
Just looked at the mbox facebook page and like it. Just waiting for my android box. Thanks for the useful info
Is most stuff with mbox HD? Im looking for football, movies and tv boxsets
Cheers

I just checked this site but couldn't find prices. Any ideas of cost for above
6 months ago prices were:
1 month £20
3 months £55
6 months £110
12 months £180
They do sometimes have offers on, in June you get 13 months for the price of 12 which what I will do
I just paid for a month of the on Tapp service so mine now looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-Yn_Oi7K8U
Yes, most is in HD, I would say compared to friends the quality isn't as good as full sky sports HD for instance but still looks great on my 50"

Do you use husham that has all add ons?

What build is on it jules?
The latest is only a month old and the issue with kodi is as soon as new software is released the developers optimise the add ons for the new software which means anyone running old software can get a bit buggy.
Let me know if yours starts to play up and I will sort it for you. I can talk you through it over the phone.
