Still nothing, watched on a Hudl.

Interesting

Can I just check something about the box you´re using, Fred?

Am I right in thinking that your ´home´ screen will have the various apps, such as filmon, bbc iplayer etc, and that you navigate from there? So for live streaming TV you´re using filmon or similar?

Thanks in advance.

Essentially, it's just an Android tablet without a screen. That means you can have icons for apps wherever you like.

For simplicity the home screen just has the appropriate TV icons. The 4 iPlayers, Filmon and TV Catchup plus the settings and VPN icons.

On mine, I have put other useful apps on the next screen such as Gmail, Facebook, music player and a few others. There is a selection of useful apps already downloaded onto the separate apps library and you can download any others from the Google Play Store.

Just think Android Tablet and then it is easy to understand and use. To get the best out of it you really need an "Air Mouse" which works just like a mouse, but you point it at the screen rather than roll it around the desk. There is a standard remote control like a TV control, but it isn't easy to navigate with it.

If you are likely to use it like a tablet and need to enter text, then you can get a combined air mouse/keyboard. Either option is around £15 or less.

got it.....thank you

My Macclesfield android box is on its way Fred. Wish me luck..

Luck?? you wont need that!!

Door have a link for the air mouse and keyboard please?

Google "Bluetooth mouse + keyboard.". Amazon, eBay, virtually every electronics retailer anywhere...

Our android boxes included one just like that. I prefer the mouse though.

I suppose the choice just depends on how much you might use the keyboard. If you are going to use the box like a big tablet it could be useful, but if it's only for clicking on a TV channel the mouse would be fine.

We have tablets and even a desktop, so we don't need the TV for email and document creation. But I think it's nice to have that option.

Fred, really happy with my andriod ( macclesfield) box.. had a bit of a problem with the VPN not working properly, just got in touch with David in Macclesfield and hes solved the problem by remotely accessing my box, excellent service, I wouldn't have had a clue how to do that by myself, might be cheaper boxes on the market but Davids help and after sales is second to non..

I'm liking Google's little Chromecast gadget a lot. You plug it into your HDMI slot on the TV and then any PC, laptop, iPad, Android tablet or phone, toaster (ok, not toasters) can stream to it. Worth a look.
