Ye expensive that

Oggy997 · Jun 21, 2025

£10/m
You lot are off your tits 😂 I don't even have panel access and it's £20-35 a year

Steve · Jun 21, 2025

Cheers, seeing as my Sky package is close to £120 a month with BB & that’s not the best.
£150 seems a bargain, seen it working & interface is very easy & clear

Oggy997 · Jun 21, 2025

They're all usually based on smarters, I use Tivimate personally as it had the nicest interface, and one of the providers I have uses a cracked version of that.l (I have a legit sub)

RSRowe · Jul 23, 2025

Save me trawling through 25 pages….. Anyone got a good link for iptv for my friend (definitely not me)?

Oggy997 · Jul 23, 2025

Wouldn't know where to look mate 🙄

adamlstr · Aug 22, 2025

I can put you in touch with a guy if you want, but make no mistake I'm not selling you a thing, so don't go complaining to me if your strictly viewing is interrupted for any reason.

Most common is XC actually.
However plenty out there, many subs dont give the URL/DNS out so if they dont, let me know ill sort you out to get a normal app like tivimate or such etc.

Oggy997 · Aug 25, 2025

Oh I have all the URL's for my providers.

Two months in & cannot wait to put through the full package cancellation to Sky.

Currently a company are pulling ropes through all the pavement boxes ready for fibre.

Sounds like city fibre.
My place can get 2.5GB for 40 pm.

Virgin is getting kicked soon as that contract is out.

The inspection was a while back, then another team pulled ropes through & last week the black fibre cables were done.

The Openreach site still has no firm date, just build in process

Is it Openreach or CityFibre?

As if cityfibre you wont find it on OR website, they have 0 control over it, so its even better.

Hmmm, bought one the other day and managed to install a side app for my dodgy box. You just need to press the select button 6 or 7 times to enable developer options

Fantastic Nostrils · 2025-10-15T15:35:30+0100

Its me again, with the audio lag....again.

Im beginning to realise this is a bit of a strange one. Ive done some more digging and this was after help from @rctempire (thanks again!)

If I use any app, other than 'my app', it doesnt have any audio lag. Youtube, Netflix etc etc, all fine.

However, with 'the app', it lags like crap. Its a way off and it drives me mad.

Interestingly, if I turn off my soundbar, and use the crap tv speakers, its flawless. So, all eyes point to the soundbar, or tv sound settings maybe?

Can anyone help?

Oggy997 · 2025-10-15T15:36:43+0100

Have you tried using mx player / vlc?

Install VLC for Fire (yep its vlc but on firestick) directly from the amazon store.

Then on the app you have, ill presume its XC rebranded, go to Settings, Player Type, swap the Movies and VOD(Or Series) to External Player/VLC.

Then when you are playing the item, pause and go to bottom and swap the audio delay forward or backwards in MS.

Generally just moving to VLC will sort the issues for VOD mostly.

Can anyone help me please 🙏🏼

If I watch any of the Channels from the ‘Guide’ I get Homes Under The Hammer sound over the top 🙈

If I watch through the dedicated channel app it’s ok.
Here I’m watching channel 4 or 5 I can’t remember.
