Good Morning
Just wondering if anyone has any experience of having a "Openbox4u" - is it worth it!
Thanks for any info.

    I would recommend looking for advice on a specialist forum rather than here. It is definitely worth reading up on, as there are a lot of rip off merchants on ebay and amazon.

    I bought an openbox last year . I got the gift code from ebay .The seller had 100% feedback and had been on ebay since 2004 .I thought what can go wrong . In my case I used a wifi dongle to get the signal .
    Gift code worked well for 3 months then ,server off line .
    I went back to origional seller and all the recent feedbacks had been bad .I emailed the seller no reply .
    Last week I bought a new gift code from ebay .It lasted one day. I can claim from paypal for this .There is a guy on facebook selling them as "dreambox " he supplies and fits the box and he is local . May be worth a shot.

    A Raspberry Pi, Internet connection and Kodi software will access many tv shows and movies for an outlay of around £35. However, access to specific shows is NOT guaranteed - sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not! Good fun to play with........

    KODI is probably the way to go now. Ebay for £55 Search for Amazon Firestick
    I started out with nothing......And still have most of it left:p

    Better off with a 2gb Ram android box (any M8/s model) which will run faster and bypass having to side load kodi onto a firestick ;)

    The M8 box will do so much more allowing access to bakebook, skype etc… I got mine with a free wireless hand size keyboard remote too. All for a round £45.

    After that youtube is your friend for channel, football etc…
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:
