    It was just a promotion they ran one weekend. Haven't really used the second one that much but handy to have it all the same.

    Anyone know what the story is with flawless, my sub expired the other day and now when I try to log in to their site to renew my sub it's saying my username/password is wrong and it definitely isn't?
    Very strange

    Flawless is IPTV, this is their site.
    https://flawless-hosting.co.uk/clientarea.php
    Got a test for another provider last night, very good, £25 for 6 months or £45 for 12 months.

    Sportsmania have a very good video on demand section but they only take payment by bitcoin now, a lot of people have moved away because of that.

    Ah yeah that's way more hassle than I need. Not surprising they have lost customers

    First things first, you must have decent broadband.

    The Firestick is the budget option. It's cheap, works fine and you can install software on it fairly easily, you just need a HDMI port on your TV and a power socket nearby, to run it. Software is fairly easy to install, if you have an Android device. Otherwise, I think you do it via your PC (but I've never done this, just done the wireless option from an Android device). The key negatives to the Firestick are probably the slightly slower processing speed (compared to more expensive Android boxes) and lack of memory, or ability to record. You can pause, rewind etc. though.

    Personally, I reckon you don't need to look any further than a Firestick in the first instance. If you want to upgrade later then you can, but you may find that you don't need to, or want to.

    The new firesticks have an option to add an ethernet cable so you can connect it straight to your router.

    Do you need a box lads or do you know any good subs that you can use off your laptop?

    Reddit soccer streams is good but looking into more reliable options this year.

    Ended up going for something called Helix Hosting.

    Great service so far, watched the whole Palace game in good quality without a single hiccup.

    They do free 24 hour trials as well, well worth a look and from £4 p/m. I went for £20 for 6 months and I have all UK channels including sports and cinema.
