Friend says you can buy Android satellite receiver box, and get good channels.
Has anyone done this here?

https://droidbox.co.uk/ bought one of those android the x7 been a fantastic buy so far all uk channels sport and film channels takes a while to get your head round it but once you understand it you will wonder why you put up with other systems

Have been recommended the Droidsticks box which runs through the router box from a shop in London and will be getting one when I go to the U.K. next month, they are £95 including delivery.

Will all these little boxes work In Cyprus? Don't you need a vpn to watch the likes of bbc iplayer etc. how would you put a vpn on the box? Just being subjective. Jock2. What sport are you watching? I hope I'm wrong about the need for a vpn because it would be great to be able to use one..

We bought one, fully loaded, from Ebay in UK. We now have every tv series known to man, more films than we could shake a stick at, live UK tv, and best of all for my hubby, all the Sky, BT, and Setanta sport channels. With the multimax internet provision winter here could be quite pleasant.

its so true - British friends here have them and just love them sooooooooooo much!!
if I lived here it would be in the top ten of must haves!!!

Hi yes you need VPN for I player but you can download one from Google apps from the box that cost me £14 for a year but there is 1000s of channels on it it comes pre loaded and constantly updates it self. The company I bought mine from is a British company and have good forum which is a great help and links to u tube to talk you through problems all British sports channels are on it and hundreds more so if one site is down there are plenty of links to others

Cheers I've ordered one

Silly question,
I assume you need good internet link for this to work?
What about data allowances?
So does it turn your TV screen into a big PC display?
Assume not from satellite dish
Or ????

How188 in your original post you enquired about internet/satellite boxes - all the replies point to internet only - There is one that does what you require - speak to Acip he supplies and installs them - sorry, left my phone at home so dont have his number to hand.

We got one of these ( see link ) below ) a few weeks ago. FANTASTIC bit of kit. Movies TV shows , Box Set Series, Football etc etc etc.

Hi stevie-d,

Do you use it via Multi-Max internet and where did you get yours from.

Thanks.

Yes I use mine through Multimax. I got mine from the UK from http://www.droidsticks.co.uk/shop/rk318 ... id-tv-box/ Ffriends brought it over with them. Watched a few episodes of Spooks last night, there are 9 series, which is a lot of viewing.

Is this not similar to the box being supplied by Arriva Ltd for £119 . I would like to hear from someone who has one of these please?

Can someone please be kind enough to add the contact name and numbers for various companies and people being mentioned, as people who can make this work, links even better. Need time to get arranged before I leave!! Howard the Swallow!!!

Click on the home button on this website, http://www.droidsticks.co.uk/shop/rk318 ... id-tv-box/ for the contact details, the same one we have bought is also sold on eBay. also sld on http://www.amazn.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/DroidBOX-X7-RK3 ... dia+TV+Box But we went straight to the supplier as the back up if you have any problems is fantastic, only had a coule of small problems, which were my fault, emailed them, they came back to me the same day via email, and told me what to do, they were Brillant........ PS We bought a cordless mouse from Laconic 35TL you can also buy one from Stormax for 29 TL which operates the Andrid box far better than the remote which is supplied with the system.
