Disparate Dan 206 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Interested, because I've not heard of any of these options, I looked them all up and it appears none of the providers will actually give you a list of what channels you might actually be able to watch once you have subscribed. Pulse TV, mentioned by one poster, appears to be just an online-shopping website, which is almost precisely the opposite of anything I might want. I search for specific channels offering sport I need. Nothing else. But none of these options gives a clue as to whether they offer what I need. Why? I can only assume it's all a scam....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You assume wrong. You must be looking at the wrong places. Both Pulse and IPTV Eros have channel pages. https://pulse-tv.net/#channel-list https://iptveros.com/channel-list/ 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Saturday night I was in a hotel, just plugged laptop into the tv and watched The Voice with Kodi, all very easy. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Have you looked at Kodi? Takes a bit of setting up but works well, can get what you want, no adverts and no VPN needed. There is nothing offered just look for what want a variety of options available, channels,search, genre etc., both TV and Movies. Best of all it is free. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

recom273 1,457 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) Something that has received little attention - server shares - You can run plex / embi / jellyfin on a TV and then stream from a server. You can also stream from a web browser on a laptop or tablet. You can find plenty of server shares to smash Netflix - some are paid, some are donation but a lot are free. Most have (automated) request systems for TV and movies. You can find more by searching plexshares/ embishares / jellyfinshares on Reddit.

I know it sounds crazy, but for some reason TV manufactures’ have not updated the LAN port, its still on 2010 speeds the best option is to have a dedicated WIFI for your TV signal only, this will reduce LAG I am by far no expert on Smart TVs but IMHO manufacturers of TVs do not release the specs on the computer features of the "Smart" part of the TV. If they do it is in a very protected release of info. The computer in that TV is weak to say the least. Not the best processors and memory and so on and so on. That saves them money. The higher end TVs may be better but I doubt you will find many TVs that can compete with basic stand alone puters and other dedicated boxes. And? WIFI is still less reliable to any device be it TV or a Android box or a PC. A LAN cable will always provide a much more stable signal than a WIFI signal IMHO Link to post Share on other sites

WIFI is still less reliable to any device be it TV or a Android box or a PC. A LAN cable will always provide a much more stable signal than a WIFI signal IMHO TV companies MUST release specifications for connectivity For example, quote from Samsun One connect box 2019 model Q6FN ‘Q6FN, Q900R, also has a 100 Mbit wired connection, while 2.4 / 5 GHz wireless can achieve higher link speeds” LAN cable can transfer 10GB, but the port only handles 100mb is which is 0.1%, As you can see the LAN port is only 100mb whereas the WIFI is 2.4/ 5Ghz you are correct the cable can be more stable. but if the WIFI is 8 to 9 times faster then the choice can be confusing for buyers. I currently use a Fire Stick on WIFI 5Ghz and the house router gives me a connectivity of around 800mb speed. (3BB) I have LAN CAT 6 cables in my house, and 2 specifically at the TV outlet, but because of this LAN Port issue on the TV I found the WIFI is way better for me.

Exodus has now done the full circle, clones like Covenant, Yoda & Placenta have now been pushed aside by the latest version of Exodus. There is an add-on for BBC IPlayer which should theoretically get you the BBC news channels but I have never been able to get the add-on to work. For news I use TV Mucho which gives an hour a day free. Link to post Share on other sites
YorkshireTyke 124 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I occasionally use Live Net TV for listening to MTV, usually during the day. I had V 4.7 but it's forced me to upgrade to v4.8 and now nothing plays for longer than a few seconds then freezes. Anyone still using it or know a free site for MTV? I subscribe to HDprime for live EPL and catchup UK TV but it doesn't have any dedicated music channels. Link to post Share on other sites

It works OK, but you need to be in the UK, or have a VPN. But it's no different to the BBC iPlayer on a Browser. In fact I find the Browser is easier to navigate. I only use the Kodi version when using Bluetooth headphones, because of the audio latency delay, which can be changed on Kodi Edited February 25 by elfpattaya Link to post Share on other sites

Not really bothered, my point was in response to the poster that said there were no news channels on Kodi. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

BTW I can get CH4 to work on Cyberghost! Not really, other than using the Cyberghost optimised sever. I am registered with BBC but not sure if that would make a difference. Must admit I have not tried it since the last Cyberghost version change, will check that out first chance I get. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
