TV set top box?

mardatha

My daughter says there's a tv set top box that gives you loads of free TV channels and even American tv. Is this right?

yes often sold on ebay and amazon , although the legality of some channels or content is questionable


do a forum search for the words "kodi" and XBMC , then hit ebay /amazon with those words , and see what "tat" you are offered from china

You will need a good fast internet connection

2 meg or greater, unless it has to travel uphill to Scotland




OP , you can buy a Amazon fire stick @ £39.00 and spend some time , with free downloads to do what your daughter has asked

Free as in you don't pay but not free as in you are getting something that is free its not most are hijacked paid for channels .

It doesn't sound like anything worth having, it sounds complicated..

it can be , but fulfilling once set up correctly , can also be used to stream audio/video from your computer to your TV as well


the one I quoted at £39 , can be bought fully set up on ebay etc for about £55 , no work needed then

Ok we think we'll forget it, we aren't technical or clued-up and the internet here in the outback isn't great. Thanks all xxx
