Where are you downloading cyberflix app from?

cyberflix.me

It also has huge movie catalogue including new releases in theater but the few we've tried are either low resolution and/or have advert chryons

The television episodes are hi def and 100% free of adverts

Just spent past many months binging The Closer/Major Crimes and The Shield

Now resetting Justified

He already has it on box and had to show him where. Those are free apps available to the public sharing servers all over. He has two premium VOD apps tied to our servers. If you plan to use free apps like Cyberflix and Cinema HD... highly recommend getting real debrid and pairing it with their links. If you need help pairing it with any device... I will help show you how.

Going to try Prodigy, probably with something like Hulu too

Let me know when you order and I will add Hulu app for you as well.

1) best hardware for full house quality coverage, maybe up to 4 TV's
2) purchase DVR's separately? comes with the service?
3) Want local channels, ESPN, Fox Sports, Fox News, plus all those cooking shows, and house hunting and reality TV my wife likes (Don't think her channels are an issue anywhere).
4) Want to be able to purchase stuff like Red Zone
5) Want on demand library
6) like watching old movies, giving up all the movie channels Cox offers

Initial research pointing me towards YouTube or Hulu Service, maybe with a Netflix subscription?

Startup costs not an issue, looking to significantly reduce my monthly bundle service of about $ 331 per month

Obviously will need to purchase internet services

Should I have BestBuy come give us a consultation? Not even my kids giving me much help

TIA

1) best hardware for full house quality coverage, maybe up to 4 TV's Depends on sq footage of home and how many stories home is. Once I have that information I can help.
2) purchase DVR's separately? comes with the service? Depends on what exactly you want... some providers have what we call catchup. It records 4 days back without you having to do anything. We can't add every channel but we cover all the major ones and still adding more once storage space comes available.
3) Want local channels, ESPN, Fox Sports, Fox News, plus all those cooking shows, and house hunting and reality TV my wife likes (Don't think her channels are an issue anywhere). Most have all those channels if looking for IPTV.
4) Want to be able to purchase stuff like Red Zone Most IPTV's have it... I have 3 providers on each box just as insurance reasons.
5) Want on demand library I have over 11k movies and 2500 tv series for main VOD and backup has over 5500 movies and 1500 tv series.
6) like watching old movies, giving up all the movie channels Cox offers Not sure what is considered old movies but I can check if you give me a few titles.

Initial research pointing me towards YouTube or Hulu Service, maybe with a Netflix subscription? All are good but most likely won't need it once you learn the box

Startup costs not an issue, looking to significantly reduce my monthly bundle service of about $ 331 per month

Obviously will need to purchase internet services Speed works by lets say you have 100MB download and 10-50 upload. When streaming...download is all you need to worry about since upload is only if you are uploading pictures etc online. If you have 4 devices using 25MB each running at same time, that means it is using all of your 100MB speed. If you plan to watch 4K on IPTV...you will be pushing 40-50MB each. Netflix, Hulu, etc have billion dollar servers and can run on 15MB speed. Only advice I can give you is to stay away from ATT... they are the worst and they like to block content when streaming. Yes there are workarounds but its a pain. I can't stress enough the boxes are only as good as internet going to them. I highly recommend running Ethernet to boxes if you can but I understand sometimes that's not an option. I am a big fan of the google wifi mesh system (the old ones) due to the satellites have Ethernet ports on back of them if you wanted to place satellite next to boxes. Let me know if you need more detailed answers and will get info to you.

It's up to you... I wouldn't be paying for the subscription and only be adding to the box for customer to add their credentials. You can find it in Aptiode TV app if you want to download it.

Definitely something I need to look into, I pay zero now, but just have 2 tv antenni facing in opposite directions, no WiFi, bought I bought a laptop on B-Fri.
Essentially I couldn't refuse a 15.6 laptop, for $149, will o
Use it eventually, but no service now !
It's free but an unreliabe PIA !

I know there is a better way to do this. I get lost when you start talking about download speeds and such and what would be necessary to stream stuff or use some kind of possibly pirate box ?

I'm not opposed to sorta kinda stealing signals, done it many times before in simpler times...

If you have internet going to laptop, I can give you service to try out. It uses web browser on computer or can give you service to phone and you can cast to tv or watch on phone. Or if you have ps4 of xbox as well but all these need internet.

Nice talking to you Willie. Here is an article I post on my support group explaining differences between wifi and ethernet. Hope this helps understand the differences.

In this article, we’ll explore the main differences between Ethernet and WiFi connections. You’ll also learn which connection is best for your needs.
Some of the main points covered in this article are:

• 
  [*=left]What is WiFi?
  [*=left]What is Ethernet?
  [*=left]Ethernet vs. WiFi
  [*=left]Speed
  [*=left]Reliability
  [*=left]Security
  [*=left]Latency
  [*=left]Interference
  [*=left]Portable devices

[h=3]WHAT IS WIFI?[/h]WiFi is a wireless technology that connects devices to the internet without any physical wired connection. Introduced in 1999, it is the most popular type of connection used today.
[h=3]WHAT IS ETHERNET?[/h]Introduced in 1973, Ethernet is a way of connecting devices in a LAN. Consisting of an Ethernet cable, hub, crossover cable and router, it enables devices to transmit data over a network.
[h=3]ETHERNET VS. WIFI[/h]If the question was asked some time ago, the answer would be a bit different than it is today. Because Ethernet uses cables, it tends to work slightly faster than a wireless connection.
Wireless connections are a bit slower, but provide the convenience of using it within range. Today, WiFi hotspots can easily be found in many places.
Thus, the choice lies between speed and convenience.
[h=3]SPEED[/h]WiFi was initially based on the 802.11g standard. The maximum theoretical speed was 50Mbps.
Mobile phones could be connected to the internet with this connection, but the speed was much slower when compared to Ethernet – which could easily provide 100Mbps-1,000Mbps and beyond.
802.11ac is the latest WiFi standard, offering speeds of up to 3,200Mbps. With this new standard, WiFi is in much better standing next to Ethernet in terms of speed.
[h=3]RELIABILITY[/h]The speeds discussed above are theoretical.
An Ethernet connection delivers a consistent speed. You’ll notice this fast and stable speed if you download large files. Ethernet connections are also suitable for streaming HD videos.
WiFi suffers from signal interference due to many environmental factors. The atmosphere can cause issues, and WiFi often produces inconsistent performance. You’ll observe sporadic signaling when you move from one place to another in your home. This issue can be minimized by placing your router in an optimum position in your home or office, but it’s still challenging to achieve the same stable performance of Ethernet connections.
[h=3]SECURITY[/h]This is another primary factor.
Data sent over an Ethernet connection can only be accessed by devices that are physically attached to that network, and thus there is no chance of data loss or hacking.
These devices need to use a firewall for their security.
WiFi, on the other hand, is an open network so its data isn’t safe. When transmitting sensitive data, be sure to use WiFi networks where the data is encrypted is secured. The most secure encryption method is the WPA2-PSK, while WEP is the least secure.
Free public WiFi is the most unsecured. Learn more about its privacy pitfalls here
[h=3]LATENCY[/h]Connection speed and quality are not the only things to consider – latency matters, too.
Latency is the delay with which traffic travels from a device to its destination. Also referred to as a ping in the online gaming world, latency is vital when playing games. Reaction time must be quick, and the same goes in the IoT data world.
If you want to avoid irritating lags or delay while posting data, then an Ethernet connection is the right choice.Wired connections offer lower latency.
[h=3]INTERFERENCE[/h]We have many devices in our home or offices that can interfere with WiFi, causing various problems.
These issues include:

• 
  [*=left]Dropped signals
  [*=left]Greater latency
  [*=left]Lower speeds

Thus, Ethernet is more reliable in terms of interference.
[h=3]PORTABLE DEVICES[/h]Obviously, no one’s connecting their smartphones to the Ethernet.For portable or remote devices, WiFi is the clear first choice.
[h=3]WHICH CONNECTION TO CHOOSE?[/h]

• 
  [*=left]If you want a connection for everyday use, then an adequately configured WiFi router will give you a suitable connection.
  [*=left]But if you’re a gamer and can’t risk an unstable connection, you’ll want to go with Ethernet.
  [*=left]Similarly, if you need to stream HD videos without issue, or connect several devices to your network, you’ll undoubtedly see better performance with an Ethernet connection.

Wireless routers also have Ethernet ports so you can configure devices individually without any issues.
[h=3]FINAL WORDS[/h]Both WiFi and Ethernet have their pros and cons. These depend on several factors like interference, medium standard, protocol standard, latency, etc.
WiFi is more popular these days, but Ethernet connections still offer some significant benefits. As such, you should choose your connection based on your needs.

Diago knows his shit, no need to look any further. I trust he can answer all your questions

 

[Knightrofins]

Daigo,

may I send you a PM regarding a problem that I am having with my tv’s and WiFi connection on a specific tv in my house? Something has been funky for a few months.

thx

 

[Mobdeeper7239]

I'm out in Tribeca baggin' up yay
Paint all on my North Face, the worst case, I'ma be rich
Collina Strada my bitch, I'm on the yard on my drip
I had the Audemars wrist, the Phillipe tucked in my Timbs
You better have my commissary or you gettin' that biz
Jewelry out with my kids

Best a/v investment ever. May take a little time to figure it out and/or troubleshooting issues yourself.

 

[Willie99]

Started using it this morning, and I think I'm going to love it. It's mindboggling to see what they have available, like everything in the world. The basics should be easy, understanding and using everything is going to take some time.

Novice question, seems like I'm downloading a lot to enable different apps, do TVs have memory sticks? If yes, does it make sense to get one? Never thought about the memory on my TV before. Or is it all downloading to the prodigy box?

 

[seldomseen]

What do you mean downloading a lot? I use prodigy iptv to stream live tv and cinema for movies and already aired tv. Are you referring to when you open prodigy iptv?

 

[Willie99]

Yes, when I'm first setting up the box

 

[HarryCaray]

Yes, when I'm first setting up the box

You don't really need to download anything.
Use the Prodigy IPTV app (small icon) for live tv, use VOD for on-demand.
Suppose you can add Hulu/Netflix type stuff to the box if you want, but I've always found everything I need in VOD anyway.
You should have Tony remote in and get you all set up properly.

That said, anything you download on the box will go on the box, not your TV. I expect it has sufficient memory to handle anything you are trying to do.

 

[HarryCaray]

BTW welcome to the revolution. Only thing you will regret is waiting so long.

 

[festeringZit]

I have poked around my box a bit. Mine is running
Android 7.1.2 with 2.7 GB of memory and 28.91 GB disk space

If you go to the "settings" app, you can confirm if you have the same...
