If I buy one of these and stick Plex on it can it play rtmp links? Like if I stuck them in a .strm file? Cheers!

:edit:
Looks like it can't!!

Have you restarted the telly too ... completely, plug it out for a few mins. Try another hdmi port and try it in someone elses telly to eliminate telly problems.

Seems to be sorted now again, I unplugged the box again and left it off for 5 minutes and it all sounds good again thank God

Is there any free DNS services around (with daily limit for example) for BBC iplayer or are they all paid for?

I use UnoTelly. There is a months free trial and after that you can usually extend the free trial for a up tp 6 months (i think i'm on about my 4th or 5th month free now). I've found it really good. Great customer service. You can set up different areas too. I have my tv and laptop set to UK for the UK players through the tv and NowTV through laptop. And then my Netflix is set to US. HTH

Paid for the sports pass on Sunday to watch the last day of Football with all the family around for the day. Service went down 20 mins in to the game

Just got an email for a full refund and a free days pass to use in the next 12 months
Email reads

Our service went down yesterday during the final day of the Barclays Premier League. We know this is unacceptable and you deserve better. We're incredibly sorry for this disruption and have refunded the last payment of your Sky Sports Day Pass. It will be in your account within 3 to 5 working days (depending on your bank). We'd also like to offer you a free NOW TV Sky Sports Day Pass valid for the next 12 months.

In fairness that's pretty decent off them. PITA that it was down though

How much of the box will work in Ireland without a DNS service?

4od seems to work without DNS change.

Also these parts:

Plex
Sky movies/sports streaming
Vimeo
Vevo
Sky news

You could also watch any of the filmon channels (BBC etc) via the playto app. Works well with the now tv box.

Is it possible to get the hd to play on the now tv. Playto works great on my wifes smart III very very buggy on the moto g, thinking of putting a custom rom on it at this stage anyway.

Have to say its an impressive box, the channel 5 app doesn't seem very reliable though, tried using it last night and it kept having to buffer every 2 minutes, my connection speed was fine and 4OD and BBC worked flawlessly.

Anyone else had this issue with the channel 5 app at all?

Yep pretty much unwatchable here while the app on the telly is fine. If I restart the app I get another a ggod few minutes mins before it starts hanging so it seems like a memory leak or something rather than anything to do with the connection.

Tinie · 14-05-2014 3:07pm

ya Channel 5 app is very slow and laggy. nothing good on C5 anyways.

Haha! Found a way to get an extra month free on top of that, so two extra months for free.

Use the code "AFFMOVJLP10" then use "AFFMOVJLP20".

Got that by changing the number :pac:

EDIT: And another :P Although I couldn't add this one, it is valid. AFFMOVMS10

You need to add the unsupported app store for Plex and its in there.

this is getting silly now, just used the third voucher code expecting it not to work but it did, three months free for no reason! Thanks for the repost.

I get "Sorry, a voucher has already been applied to this subscription, you cannot add another at this time." when I try to use the third code.

sh*te: just looked at my account there; I got excited when it accepted the third voucher and didnt look closely enough; false alarm, sorry, the 'special offer' the third voucher granted me is £8.99 for a month. Is that not what it is normally? Anyway, i got May and June free with the first two codes so can't really complain.

I applied it earlier too and it was accepted but it hadn't given me a free month. It gave me a month for £8.99 which is the normal price anyway. Got my hopes up same as you. Still, two months for free ain't bad.

Any way of bypassing the ad's on the 4OD app?

I got the same thing initially, I think it just won't accept more than two vouchers concurrently. I waited for the first of the two free months to end and then added the third one and it worked fine then.

i wish! my wife id driving me potty with it. she watches come dine with me on 4OD in bed and usually falls asleep halfway through, but then has to go through 2 or 3 ad breaks to get to the 2nd half of the show the next night. :eek:

Ah fair enough its not just me then, I don't mind for some things, bit of gordon ramsey for example ad's are fine, but for some of the dramas it really interrupts at annoying spots.

Sure I guess thats how they can afford to make it free.
