Did you check the speed of your internet ?

There were big problems last week with Iberdola shutting off power etc.

You can usually get a faster speed on your internet if you ask your provider to bump it up but this may cost more.

If you want to check try www.speedtest.net/, this has been recommended by a number of major players e.g. Netflix

  I get 35Mpsl on Grannet

[steve watson]

Is that good

[llamedos]

It's not bad, you can do most things on half that amount but it was playing up over the last day or so.

Bought the Wizard box in UK, brought it out to Spain and I'm now a convert. Get all the channels and it's easy to use, currently going through Game of Thrones from Series I as we couldn't get this in UK as we were with Virgin. Had a few initial issues but on their site the FAQ section is very thorough and fixed the problem.
You can also download other links/sites e.g. http://rainierland.com/, where you can watch latest movies. Don't know how they get hold of them but last week saw "Sully" (with Tom Hanks) which isn't released until Xmas.

After seeing Mikes Wizard Box this morning I'm buying one, I was impressed!!
I nipped to see Asun at GATV to see if I could get 10mbs from my "internet dish", I can.
Asun informed me that the small mesh receiver I currently use to watch TV on will not be supported by them for much longer.
I don't want a 1.3 metre dish on my roof so it looks like this is the way to go.
Thanks Mike

Regards all

Hi john my wizard tv box is great the best bit for me is that i can take it in hand luggage back and forth to Spain in the uk we use it for films box sets etc and mainly the live 3 pm football
 If Gatv are not going to support the microwave system much longer I will cancel it next time I am out

If you want to get a Wizard box you may have to act sooner rather than later. As these units effectively allow the transmission of copyrighted material there is a court case pending where they may be deemed illegal, see http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37474595. Albeit I'm sure they'll probably come out with a workaround to the sale of the units.

Cheers Guys, on your recomendations I bought a Kodi box from Amazon, only £30.00

Took about five minutes to get it out of the box and up and running............I thought what a load of tosh!!

Apart from lots of pornography that worked great sod all else would let me watch anything at all, it nearly went in the bin.

I spent an hour on the internet reading various pages and watched a few videos on YouTube, I then deleted virtualy all the add-ons and installed 123 Movies, Exodus, UK Turks playlist, FilmOn and a few more...........the result brilliant!!

We only have about 5Mbs here in the UK, but we are watching the latest film at HD quality with no buffering

At the £30 price I'm going to order another, one for Spain and one for here.

My internet provider here in the UK blocked my access to rainerland, I'll have a go at getting it in Spain.

Regards all and thanks to those who made me aware of Kodi!!

You can just buy a fire stick from Amazon which you then just put Kodi and add ones you want like exodus , sports devil etc. All you need to do then is plug the fire stick into an HDMI slot on your TV. The firestick is very small and easy to just put in your pockets.

You can also download Kodi onto your laptop which is quite useful if 'someone' is hogging the tv
