For the people interested in android/KODI etc I installed WOOKIE on mine earlier.

I did the same and am very impressed. I have a slow Internet connection (cos I live in a wee village in Gateshead) but I can still watch football, movies, TV shows etc. Still trying to work it out but still can't get operation robocop to work very often. I'll see what it's like for the match tomorrow.

My genisis doesn't give me any streams, going to try this wookie on kodi. Usually I use showbox which is alright.

HT if your out in the sticks try dexter/daffy streams or other live tv addons in their sport sections if they have it or in the UK tv section they will have an sd or hd option. A great free app to test your connection through your phone is called ookla. If you are getting about 2mbs on the ookla test then go for sd if you are getting 4mbs+ you can give hd a go. I think robocop is hd which may have caused you the problem. Not all links are perfect on a lower bandwidth or at all. Jump between a few of the different links and you will find something.

{Ed007's Note - It won't help HT if he's out in the outback but I got that Virgin VIVID the other day and my wifi is running at about 59 mbps and my hardwired android box and PS4 are running at anywhere from 66 - 73 mbps, and that's me running a laptop, two tablets and two phones as well. If anyone's a Virgin customer get on their site and see if it's available in your area, if it's up and running it doesn't cost you anything to upgrade apart from £5.99 to get a new router delivered.}

Can't get Virgin sadly and I'm in shawlands! I've went for vodafone they have a decent deal of £10 a month for 72mbs if your an existing customer if you opt out of Netflix (haggle a bit) if you pay line rental up front for 12months it's about 13quid pm. I can't honestly recommend tho it's been a nightmare with faults in the line and I'm still not connected days after my date (bad for me but it will be OK for others) . Ookla is still a decent wee thing to do I'd say. If your unsure of your real connection speed instead of the quoted one you are sold and if an upgrade is needed . Remember any provider can legally sell any broadband as long as it is over 10% of the actual recieved.there are running battles with ofcom and other customer rep companies regarding this issue. I was previously on sky 16mbs, reading 7mbs. Faster the better and Virgin I'd agree are the best. No point buying a stream box you can't use and if you are limited due to location know what type of stream to pic (sd) . For any of you that are not tech savvy or older gen get a mate to check the best speed comparison/price site. Get the website quote etc phone up and don't budge.if you have had a contract for a while then you will be paying too much. Quote your years with a previous company,refuse set up/instalation charges and the wee guy will do it. A brass neck isn't a problem for the posters here ffs :) Get your box and enjoy

{Ed007's Note - It's Ookla I use to check it too, that VIVID is advertised at 'up to 200 mbps' but I don't know anyone who's had it over 80. Like everything else in Britain it's a bit of a rip off from what's adevertised.}

Meant to add if your a low Internet user 38mbs fiber optic will be overkill and plenty/future proof for what you need. Beware of the up sell!

13 Dec 2015 02:04:12
Yeah Dexter is my first port of call. Haha yeah here in the outback it's a bit hit or miss. I get about 4mb so movie quality is good but football is erratic. I appreciate all the advice. Cheers.

Upgraded to VIVID now getting 90mbps on wifi and 150+ hard wired.

To those who are having problems with Genesis, it is apparently not being maintained or updated anymore.

Ed any thoughts/info on the ex Dortmund player we've been linked with, Kevin Großkreudtz - call me a cynic but can't see him passing up the chance to team up with Klopp again and the opportunity to play in the EPL, and of course get the large pay check. He looks very talented and st just under £2m he would be a bargain. Wondered if you or your fellow Eds had any insight as to whether this is indeed a possible.

Cheers

{Ed007's Note - Grosskreutz has previously said that he wants one day to play in England and once noted, to the annoyance of Jurgen Klopp, that his dream was to play for Arsenal. Then a couple of years ago, to the annoyance of Jurgen Klopp, he told the press that it was his dream to play for Liverpool. Dortmund were open to a summer move as his contract was running down and he was injured for much of last season. He completed a move to Galatasaray in the summer which was not endorsed by UEFA as the paperwork was not completed in time. He is eligible to start playing for them (or anyone else) from January. He will leave if a suitable offer is made to Galatasaray and the player - right now Galatasaray said on December 4 that they know he wishes to leave but they have had no approaches. I have not heard anything since then.}

Klopp is portrayed by many as the greatest Manager of his time, however maybe not everyone is anxious to play under this dream manager.

Would be a great signing, if he really does wants to play for us and going by some of the pics of him at Celtic Park in a Celtic top with a Celtic scarf I'd guess he maybe would love to play for us one day. January is as good a time as any and it's also realsitic, for me he'd play LW so where Armstrong currently occupies which would be ideal as LW is a position we need to improve upon for the CL qualifiers next year and this guy would be ideal real quality.
