Ok have a Sony Bravia Andorid TV and sky and as we all knw the extra Subscription service of Eir/BT Have a lot of sport coming up for the new season

I found out about this IPTV service for €90 a year and is it worth it ???. It will cost an extra €27.50 a month for Eir/BT on sky

Have had far too much hassle with android boxes and online streaming to last me a life time.

been using IPTV for about 18 months or so in my sitting room and I have had issues from time to time but it’s quite seldom tbh, have sky in the bedroom just in case it ever goes belly up, not sure I could go back to paying for all the sports again though it’s just too expensive. 

Looks like they are going all out to cut out illegal streaming of the epl in a few weeks but time will tell if they can stop it completely. If I was you I would try one out for a month and see what you think of it.

Try it out for a few months and see what you think.

It’s definitely not as smooth and reliable as sky/bt but it only costs 10% what they charge.

Every student world wide is streaming their movies and sport content so there is a massive market out there. 
The hackers move faster than sky/bt.

But if you are watching 20 hours of sport a week then get sky/Bt as you are making full use out of it.

Probably be best to also get a VPN to mask your streaming activity from your internet provider. Only costs a few quid a month. You'd still be saving a fortune on paying full whack for a legit BT/Sky sub.

IPTV's days are numbered I reckon. Samsung removed them from their TV's after their last updates, more companies will follow I suspect. Best get a box of some sort.

Yeah the same crowd that said they did a great job in cutting down illegal streams last year, while streams were easier to find and better than they've ever been in general. They will try but the won't succeed.

I got it on me phone recently. 40 quid I paid to a friend. For 40 quid for the year you can't go wrong having all the channels on the go. 
Still need to figure out how to chromecast it though, none of the players compatible with it seem to allow it. After me wedding in going to get a smart tv and can either move the account from me android to that or else get a second one. It's handy having it on the phone for when on the go (e.g. having it on me work desk during early kick offs at world cup) but would be better if I could watch certain things on the tv when I'm sitting at homd, for example, when I couldn't figure out how to cast I had to watch the ufc ppv on me phone

I haven't had sky in 2 years. Never got an android box either.
Get by with her mams sky go on the PlayStation, Netflix and movie HD on the android chromecast. But this thing is handy for BT Sports etc.

Have had far too much hassle with android boxes and online streaming to last me a life time.

cheap android boxes and free streams, of which ive experienced myself, are not a patch on a decent IPTV sub. €50 a year for my sub that is less than one month for Sky/virgin.

I have to agree as hackers will always find a way around it .
 Look first Prem game of the season always hard to stream then everything just frees up the next week , that's how it works at present .
I have never had sky and never will , look at it this way the lad who sits next to me pays €1680 a year to watch football / sport where I pay nothing .
Or think of it another way I get to see Ireland play away twice for what he will pay to watch TV , when you think of it that way what would you rather do ?

Tbh the only reason I have Sky sports is for the wrestling and formerly the Rugby.  The father would watch the soccer and Golf on it. We have 2 good tv's and want the best pictrue possible. The 4K soccer is outstanding but the HD sub is extra. from this year all the club rugby will be on BT/Eir and as much as I want to see them €27.50 a month is a lot for 1/2 games a week.

Prob try an IPTV for the a trial and see what it's like. Have the Tv connected to the internet through a powerplug and Ethernet cable so get very good speeds.

I have a multi-device IPTV sub and am very happy with it.
One sub is on a Vu+ Solo2 box, the other on a fire tv stick.
It's something like €100 for the year. It does freeze from time to time but far less than the card sharing did.
I only really use it for sports (gaa, rugby and the odd soccer match) as neither of us watches regular tv anymore in general.
For the price I pay I'm happy with it anyway but I wouldn't be one who sits down to watch the premiership on a regular basis every weekend either.

It’s a complete no brainer, thankfully I have the app on my tv so don’t need a box, if anyone has a smart tv with an Ethernet cable you’d be mad not to try out IPTV, it has saved me an absolute fortune in the last couple of years. 

Would hold off on any big outlay on any box or sub until the premier league starts and see if they have done anything to block the matches however.

Mentioned by someone earlier that IPTV apps are starting to be blocked on some tv's now ,may have no choice but to purchase a box.

Anyone who had a smart TV should get a free trial for a few days ,most of the sellers offer a few days trial.nothing to lose .

Paid 30e for a 6 months subscription at the last minute today, only to be told that they've disabled the web streaming and you need a VPN and a Kodi install to watch it.

Spend about 2 hours trying to get my old Kodi box setup to no avail and a window 7 machine too.

Ended up watching the match on hesgoals and the quality was superb.

Hi lads how exactly does this work as I'm rubbish at this kind of stuff. I'm going to get broadband only for the first time into my house but i don't have a landline or phone port to plug? What happens whenever i agree to the one year subscription to iptv.ie do they send out a box to set up or is it all done via your smartphone? Apologies in advance for all the questions as i was going to get the tv & broadband deal together but someone recommended just getting the broadband only and set up the iptv so again i was just wondering how it all worked.

Cheers.

Use a smart TV or buy an android box. 

You download an IPTV player app ,there are dozens on the Playstore and then you add the details of the IPTV subscription you have bought to it.

Go to YouTube,type "STB Emulator " into the seach and there are plenty how to videos. 
STB Emulator is a free app for IPTV,easy to set up and works perfectly.

Just takes a bit of research,there's nothing too complicated about setting one up.

What type of TV do you have? If it's Smart TV for either LG or Samsung, see if you have the Smart IPTV app on the TV.

If not, you'll have to buy a box as Rossieman suggested or Amazon firestick, which would be my reccomendation if you don't have a Smart TV (allows you to use NEtflix, YouTube etc on your TV)

What type of TV do you have? If it's Smart TV for either LG or Samsung, see if you have the Smart IPTV app on the TV.

If not, you'll have to buy a box as Rossieman suggested or Amazon firestick, which would be my reccomendation if you don't have a Smart TV (allows you to use NEtflix, YouTube etc on your TV)

I have a regular Toshiba 40 inch but just google chrome cast at the moment which i use to watch Netflix and the like. 
Before buying anything, find out what quality broadband you are getting.Is it fibre,what speed etc.

No point buying a sub and a box if broadband is crap.

If it was up to me, I would get rid of mine. It is terrible for your concentration and attention span. I even miss having a good old memory wank.


I read this as a reply to Ballycastle's answer immediately above yours. I was wondering whether you were talking about getting rid of broadband or the wife. The answer could apply either way.

Strange question I have a Zgemma box with year sub and it is working perfect any issues and the lad running it resolves it ASAP.
 
But for Eleven Sports it works perfectly up until about 7:30pm and keeps freezing constantly. It comes back to working perfectly about 12:30am.   All other channels work perfectly so provider does not know what the issue is as he says channel is working fine..  One of my mates has the same sub and he does not have any issues with the channel so I am wondering is the issue something on my end.
 
So eleven sports goes crazy for about 5 hours a day everyday at about the same time and back working normally at the same time. So it works perfect from 12:30am til 7:30pm then starts freezing constantly for 5 hours and in this period all other channels work fine.
 
Has anyone any idea what the cause may be. Or how to resolve it as most of the good Serie A matches are on at that time Saturday and sunday.

Sounds very strange..... normally everything is working or not.

Any major problems I’ve had require - deleting the app, reinstall and start again.

It’s not the worst of problems - your sky and BT are working.

Not sure if this is the right place for this? Have decided to get rid of Virgin Media for TV and broadband. Going to go with either roku/chromecast/android box or a sattelite dish & saorview as don't want to pay a TV subscription any more.

Just a few questions :
Which is better to go with?
How fast does the broadband have to be for the boxes?
Who does the best broadband after Virgin? Would like to go with Eir because of the free BT channels but their service and customer relations feedback seems to be horrific online.

Any help appreciated,lads.

Have a look at http://www.onebigswitch.ie" rel="nofollow - www.onebigswitch.ie for a broadband deal with pure telecom. I was with them before and theyre grand. Its through the phone line so youll get the same speed as with eir or any other provider.

If you want completely sub free tv you’ll still need to spend a bit initially. For Saorview you’ll need an aerial. Then a satellite dish for freesat http://www.freesat.co.uk" rel="nofollow - www.freesat.co.uk which is the British free to air channels. Sticking up a dish is very easy, id suggest buying one second hand on done deal or adverts. An old sky dish will do or you can pick them up in power city i think also. Also a ream of coax, again in power city and it comes with the connectors.

After that, if youre telly has tuners then happy days, if not pick up a twin receiver sat box. They start cheap and depending on what you need (pause, rewind, recors, store) the price goes up. Probably sounds a bit daunting but actually not a lot to it.

Alternatively, just get the Amazon Fire stick and go with an iptv sub for €50/€60 a year or so and get everything.

The only new smart TVs that will pick up official free sat (with guides and recordings) are made by LG. Otherwise you ll need a decoder box. Not to confuse this with free to air.

Best decision I've ever made on relation to the house. Saorvire, free Sat and iptv on one device without a single box hooked up to the telly and no monthly bill.

DO NOT GO NEAR EIR!!!! There are no Internet & TV providers with amazing customer service but theirs is downright atrocious and I've involved comreg in my current dispute with them. Saorview and IPTV/Smart STB is the way forward .I have the Smart STB app on my Samsung TV and it is mint. €2-€3 per month for the app and €12 per month for the sub. The sub gives me everything and I'm amazed at the quality. Feel free to PM if you want a number to contact, the interface is brilliant and EVERY channel is on it. The stream from US channels for the prem games is like watching a sky box for quality.

Chromecast is just casting from another device isnt it? You cant physically put apps onto it I dont think. With the fire stick the app is on the device and operates in the same way more or less as having a box.

Off topic here but wasn't sure where else to post. Used to have Sky about 5 years ago. After I cancelled it still had the free to Air channels on it but they all went last year. Is the box completely useless now or is there any way of getting back these channels?

After that, if youre telly has tuners then happy days, if not pick up a twin receiver sat box. They start cheap and depending on what you need (pause, rewind, recors, store) the price goes up. Probably sounds a bit daunting but actually not a lot to it.

Alternatively, just get the chromecast and go with an iptv sub for €50/€60 a year or so and get everything.

Cheers,Sham for such a detailed reply.Thumbs Up

Best decision I've ever made on relation to the house. Saorvire, free Sat and iptv on one device without a single box hooked up to the telly and no monthly bill. 

Sounds great.

DO NOT GO NEAR EIR!!!! There are no Internet & TV providers with amazing customer service but theirs is downright atrocious and I've involved comreg in my current dispute with them. Saorview and IPTV/Smart STB is the way forward .I have the Smart STB app on my Samsung TV and it is mint. €2-€3 per month for the app and €12 per month for the sub. The sub gives me everything and I'm amazed at the quality. Feel free to PM if you want a number to contact, the interface is brilliant and EVERY channel is on it. The stream from US channels for the prem games is like watching a sky box for quality. 

Cheers, TFP. I couldn't believe the negative feedback Eir have online, It's incredible. PM sent.




If you want a satelitte I'm selling my one, I also have a lad that said he'd install it too. Would do you a good deal on it Thumbs Up

Tiviar Alpha Plus is a triple tuner box ,costs around €130.

It can receive terrestrial and satellite programs and an IPTV sub can also be added.

Can add  a 2.5 hard drive to record saorview/sat channels.

My mate got one a few weeks back,he reckons its a perfect job.There will be some initial setting up but I dont think its too difficult.He got all the info/guide's from one of the tech sites(can get the info later on).

If you have a dish and aerial already you would be set up and running for less than €250.
€130 for the box
< €50 for HDD
€60 for IPTV sub


saorview/sat has 7 day EPG and can record/pause/ etc.I think the IPTV is also 7 day EPG but not sure.

Chromecast is just casting from another device isnt it? You cant physically put apps onto it I dont think. With the fire stick the app is on the device and operates in the same way more or less as having a box. 
Thumbs Up

As for Saorview I bought this small little aeriel in Dealz for €1.50 and its perfect

I've also got a freeview box for UK Channels Box and Dish can be picked up cheap enough Lidl and Aldi coming into spring sell them and they'll do the Job but If you already have a Sky Dish on the roof that will work too. 
 
When did you buy that in Dealz and which Dealz was it?
 
Was in Omni earlier but they haven't stocked them in about a year, I was informed. Hoping to get my hands on one rather than pay Power City €25 for what is effectively the same thing.

Sky may have rendered their box useless, but if you pick up a sattellite receiver you’ll get the channels back. Again as mentioned in other posts, you can go cheap and cheerful or splash a bit for extra features. Likewise if your telly has a tuner installed just connect the cable from the dish into the back of the telly and do a scan.

Bought a new Xbox one at the weekend and have loaded Kodi directly onto it. Works much better than it did on my firestick great having everything loaded onto the one device going to setup my iptv onto it as well

Co ax cable. The standard cable that runs from the dish itself into the sky box normally. It can be connected to any tv with a built in tuner or any satellite reciever box. It would usually have the little circular silver connection that screws insame as a upc/virgin cable.
