DogFox123 1,379 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I received my MX Android box that's running Openelec yesterday as it's supposed to run better than Android. Genesis was a top quality add on with great picture quality. Tried the live sports app Sports Devil and the quality was shocking, 90% of the content didn't work and the ones that did were unwatchable. Switched it on today and it was froze on the homescreen, did everything the seller told me, stuck a pin in the AV slot at the back, cleared the cache and rebooted the system and still locked on homescreen. Looking like a refund, what a waste of money. I wanted a streamer that was super smooth with no crashing, is there any out there or are they a waste of money? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogFox123 1,379 Posted June 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I haven't got a PC and don't really want one tbh, I want something that is reliable that will play on my TV with good picture quality, like I said the Genesis addon was working perfectly.

Tiercel 6,986 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I went to watch the rugby last weekend and sky had blocked the usual site I used, it took me about a minute on google to find another. As the article states there will always be a way around the blocking. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
