Correct no dish or cable just a reasonable internet speed

[roblfcx5]

This Would be just another option as sly & vermin would still be going

Or this the future instead of them both ?
It sounds decent enough!

Why buy an IPTV box if you already have something like an ipad/Tablet/laptop etc... this way you save the cost of buying a 3rd party box and subscribe yourself through a proxy to official iptv services like Fox Soccer, ADMC sport etc... instead of these cheap android ?30 iptv boxes that have cropped up all of a sudden with channels for ADMC and Al Jazeera which are streamed from the continent using similar technology as to what is known to many as a Gift for a satellite receiver.

Or put it another way if the so called 'Gift' for every single source stopped tomorrow so would 99% of these so called iptv receivers and screens would be black apart from official sources such as the ones i mentioned and others such as Viasat Play and Nova play which you need an official sub from the provider to use.

I am not saying the Blade is the same as these 3rd party offerings out now at prices from ?300-?400 but read the marketing blurb

Sign up to third party providers and get all your favorite, sports, movies and TV

with that i assume nothing comes with the box and its up to the individual to subscribe to an official iptv source and downlad the official app for it to work.

Just my 2 cents

[zee24]

im sure some chinese clones will be out soon which may bring the price down

[**OVERRIDE**]

Anyone got one of these,looks like a mag250 but rebranded

[popi110]

i have seen one but not connected it is a variant of the mag 250 but not the same i belive it uses middlewich software

[zee24]

what channels do you get and do you have to buy a sub?

[madmanuk]

iptv

thanks
