…i typically don’t watch tv from my computer…so if i want to watch NFL football from my 4k tv…i will need an android box?   Other than the box, do i need to buy/pay for anything else or pay for a streaming service??? …or is everything free after having the box?

Not if   it   is a smart TV

Yes sorry if you need an invite or want one let me know I have some to give it's a private torrent site

Hey Larry,

With the paid membership on “iptorrents “, are you watching free tv & get movies too?

How about NFL football games? Is it only available “real time” or can I watch the games at my own leisure?

in regards to internet service - i was thinking about 3B. Is the base plan adequate or do I need a larger internet package?

I have a friend in CC he has 3BB and is very happy with it. I use True 50 DL 20 UL and Cat 100 DL and 50 UL and they are both very steady and speed tests show I am getting what i pay for. Having 2 IP providers insures that if one is having issues i am still connected and both services are less than 1200 baht a month combined. IPTV runs Buffer and freeze free 95 % of the time.

While IPTV is good here there are times when it will act up because after all its IPTV but those times are few and far between 

If I were you I would get the fastest connection you can get as Speed with a IP Provider is like memory in your PC 

You can never have enough

If I had not taken my Minix box with me to Scotland I would not have had any TV for my period of self isolation. It turned the "well used" but working well TV kindly provided by my Daughters into a "smart" TV.

I am using BT hotspot  ( good signal but expensive) for temporary wifi whilst I wait for my permanent internet to be installed on the 24th June.

I subscribe to HDPrime which is working well through the box and enjoyed watching the golf, footy and Netflix most of yesterday. They extended my HDPrime account until the end of the month whilst I sort out my UK bank account on Tuesday. Netflix does not appear to realize I am no longer in Thailand.

A much clearer, sharper HD picture in the UK than I was getting in Thailand once I remembered to switch the server to "Europe".

But if your TV is android you can just DL and install IPtorrents and VLC directly to the TV no box needed.

I get over the blocking here in Thailand by using a VPN on my PC but my Smart Tv's are a problem and my lack of Com/TV knowledge is an even bigger problem lol.

My Samsung Smart TV's use Tizen as an operating system not Android and i've been unable to get Pornhub to work but i'm hoping that by using an Android box all will be fine, wifey's distraught lol

I suspect you will need help.

A problem with cheap Android boxes, I have one, is the sound and video can be out of sync by several seconds particularly on streaming services. From memory the audio leads so you're going to hear her oo-ah while in the video she hasn't even got her pants off.

Thanks a mill, No doubt i will need help judging by the link you so kindly provided, hopefully BM Miko will rally to the cause 👍

Your second paragraph had me and wifey in stitches but as you say it could be a big problem. I'm hoping by using the Android box and downloading Pornhub on it it will be ok providing i don't get the problems you say.

Here's hoping...........

Some players, VLC and maybe PotPlayer, allow you to advance/retard the audio to get it back into sync.

I reckon I will do a review of all this when I return. I've never been much of a tech guy, but have learned how to get by.

 

The past couple of years (most of the time in Thailand) it seemed every place I stayed had a SMART TV and good strong wifi. Every now and then there would be a hiccup with the internet, but generally worked pretty well. Streaming usually decent, etc.

I always had something to view or read on the internet, especially with Youtube after I got the hang of that. For a short period I signed up with HBO to watch a couple of their programs.  Here in the states I watch some MLB. 

Always have more than enough to do. I suppose many are more into the tech thing and watching programs than I am.  But, the "basics" seem to be all I needed.
