Title: UK TV via Internet
Post by: mikehoward on May 06, 2017, 09:22.: Hi, anyone else experiencing issues getting UK TV. Our Wizard box was working fine (all of April) until the middle of this week when it just drops the stream after circa 3 minutes. I know someone else who has an Amazon stick is having the same issue. The feed is via UK Turks. Believe they know there is an issue as they have added a fourth link but this is no better. Sent a mail to Wizard who initially asked for more information, but to date haven't received a response. Connection is not an issue as we can watch Films etc. in HD via the box.

Try "Mobdro" or "Live NetTV", these are obviously dependent on your internet speed.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if this has anything to do with streams.

I can trash someone's house, steal their worldly goods, strangle their parrot and get 40 hours community service, yet if I watch a movie on the Kodi I'll get 10 years!!!
You couldn't make it up could you

Regards all

Is that the full name?
As an aside UK Turks must be working on the issue as this afternoon a new link was added, unfortunately this is intermittent.

Post by: llamedos on May 07, 2017, 11:40.: Of course streaming is copyright theft, the problem is that a lot of the streams come from outside the UK and short of someone stood behind you witnessing you watching the latest movie, you are pretty safe from prosecution.

Post by: llamedos on May 07, 2017, 21:50.: There are lots of other providers streaming UK TV apart from Turks, so I imagine it won't be such a problem, you can also use Mobdro to stream TV.

Post by: Sookie on May 11, 2017, 09:58.: This app has all the uk tv channels on it. No idea if it still works as we only have it on the box in Spain.

Post by: mikehoward on May 12, 2017, 12:43.: I've read a comment on the Wizard Facebook site that so many people are trying to stream UK TV that the servers cannot cope. So if you have a stream at the moment that works you are lucky. Because if everyone migrates to that site they will then go under due to the demand.
