    Are these any use? Seen to be about €80...

    Would be class if they actually work and you can get Sky Sports, etc. with them?

    Any thoughts anyone?

    There is to be no discussion of whether you can get Sky Sports or any other pay TV channel on these boxes.

    This is a pre-emptive warning and as such a straight 48 hour ban without further warning for breaking it

    I have a couple of Amlogic 905 devices and consider them great value hardware for the price.
    In addition I can use LibreElec/CoreELEC on them if I want to repurpose them.
    So they will run Android or Linux.

    Whatever box you seen for €80, I 100% guarantee that it's about €20 as it's real price.

    They just import them in and triple the price they paid.

    The hardware itself is legal. It’s what might be loaded on them. If the maker or retailer of the box sells them with the explicit claim or purpose of pirating television, then we don’t allow discussion

    If it promises “all box sets, all sporting events, all movies, free of charge” or something similar, that is the usual cue

    Yeah, I guess 10 euro/month is as close to free as makes it clear what side of the line it's on.
    Now 10 euro per day for a NowTV Sky Sports pass is obviously legit .... I sure hope as I've paid them for the odd once-off event.

    That's still very expensive, sky really should be trying to bring their prices down, or the illegal game will continue

    Now tv offers 7 day's for 15 Euro, or the month for 50 Euro for sports packages.

    I don't think it's much more expensive than the satellite package for sports, considering you get 720p HD also with Now tv.
