I'd have thought that UPC would provide the best circuit for streaming. UPC IMO provide the best internet service.

@ Rossieman - what is the latest version of firmware for the MK808B? and where do you source it from? I did look at this last night but any firmware links were to China and were old links too.

I will send you on a link later on HB.there are a few different firmware you can use.
Download showbox and see how you get on with it,its usually perfect for films/TV.

Can't find the XBMC video add on for showbox.

Just checked there and it's currently running v4.4.2 - 107k4 - 3.10.33

you can just download the apk file and put it on the box with a usb stick or use the web browser on the box and get the apk file that way.



did you do the speed test on your pc/laptop or on the android box?Try it on the box and see what speed s you are getting.

Do you have the box powered from the TV or from a wall socket ?

Its codes for card sharing.we would be buying Sky UK unless you had a motorised/large dish to pick up other satellites.
It's what makes a dodgy box pick up the encrypted channels.You use this code on a linux/programmable box and your broadband to watch paid TV.

If I had to make the choice I would go for a dodgy box.They usually come ready to plug and play and if you don't want a recordable box it can be done for around €70 + whatever the sub is (usually between €100 - €150 per year )

I don't have a satellite dish though.
Does the android box not give the same quality sky sports or are you just streaming off the internet?

android box can be good quality but not guaranteed and cant be compared to the quality you get with sky/freesat.
If you are allowed to put up a dish where you live I would go with a dodgy box.
I use my android box for watching sports that arent on live here and some films but its no comparison to having all the regular channels.

A mate of mine is using chromecast to display Netfix on is TV.

He wants to know how can he display an iPAD app called filmon from his iPAD to his TV?
