    Default the test of iptv and cable

    Well guys has you know sat on the openbox and others seems to be coming to an end, so i had a look at the v8s and the iptv on them you can get all that you have lost most of them in HD, but its not easy and the v8s tend to freeze if you are channel flickering alot, so its unplug the power and restart , a bit of hard work, but yes its all there what you have lost, the other way is to go with is cable. so i put one on test today to try it and the quality on that is fantastic and very easy to use, but very hard to set up took me 3 hours, so there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel for the v8s, hope this helps people

    You're trying to eat your soup with a fork there mate.. You'll manage with the world of frustration and you'll just about achieve what you set out to, but really got iptv the v8s is useless. Constantly crashes, channel names don't show properly.. Only my personal opinion, I tried nut ended up with mag 256

    Read the Rules here; they apply to EveryOne.

    if you have a smart tv you don't need any box. otherwise, a cheap option is a amazon firestick or a roku stick
