Ah, I've been looking at one of these for a couple of weeks now [Link] But I assume this thread relates to a DIY version, which sounds much cheaper???

Wouldn't bother.Not many channels ever work on it.Decent for sport I suppose if you have the right add ons but if your looking for a Sky, Virgin etc replacement you'll be disapointed.I've got Kodi installed on the laptop now purely for sport and just hook it up to the tele for Palace games.
initially I was pissed...can't view this or that channel. then you realise...anything that is being shown on those channels live...is totally viewable on demand whenever you want. whether that be movie or tv show. why look out for sky Atlantic or movies stuff when you can simply watch any film whenever you want? football's not great. not clear clear...but for free...its great. abd plus you can view Saturday 3pm games...its never go out shopping on a sat anymore. ..

Confused as to whether all units are Chinese made, or there are Chinese copies on the market which are a bit duff. Definitely think the DIY approach is better than an expensive, bloated box
