XBMC+HTPC+The best private torrent sites

 

[unique_gentleman]

I was looking to get the Amazon Fire TV but as I started searching I found some devices that already have XBMC installed which is my whole goal is to get XBMC on my main TV in the house. Does anybody have this device? Matricom G-Box MX2 Combo Dual Core XBMC TV Box 8GB Android 4.2.2 + Special Edition XBMC w/G-Mouse II [NEWEST VERSION]. If so let me know how it is?

Thanks in advance -

I have it. The remote works like a Wii remote, but not as good. The keyboard is ok. Xbmc runs pretty smoothly on it. It has frozen on me, but it's rare. I paid $109 and I would say it was worth the money.

I heard a lot of great things about the MINIX neo x7 .
for one thing its a quad core dual band unit with external antennas

i have a g- box clone , and I am impressed, but it spools and lags sometimes when starting movies and shows with wifi - when its wired its great I just don't like cables laying around.

got it fully loaded from the link below- they had it on sale for $64 with free shipping when I bought it
- the next time they put it on sale , I recommend it, get it for a starter unit, helluva lot cheaper than an HTPC

its the midnight gbox 2 , made in the same factory but they put different tops on the case because technically its a droidbox ( UK version same specs)

as for the vpn



I was using VPNs when they weren't even popular
see no reason to stop now

Does this company accept PayPal or Amazon Payments? I might rock with this if they do.

No they do not
But what happens is your money goes into escrow until you receive your item and give a review that the product is what you wanted.

I have had more issues with eBay sellers that in Ali express
Check out the beats by Bruce Lee thread in JBO. A lot of posters use ali express.

Mine is basically my media/gaming PC. I have it sitting in the living room hooked up to my 46 inch LCD. I do any work related stuff on my laptop.

Nice , I still havent bought the xbox one or ps4.

Might have to think about this some more.

I have XBMC set up on an Apple TV 2. Currently I use Sportsdevil to link to FirstRow and other streaming sites for live sports. It's not HD quality but it's good enough for personal viewing. The Mashup add-on is pretty nice too, some of the steams are in legit HD and if you like DragonBall/DBZ/DBgt there's a 24/7 channel dedicated to each of those within the screens there.

XBMC makes me feel like if I move to another area all I'll need for personal viewing is a good ass internet connection. If I want to watch live sports in HD I can head to a bar and have the camaraderie of other people who are interested in the event, if not I (usually) have a decent stream for the price of my internet connection. My home connection is a 50/25 up down connection on Verizon Fios, I'm thinking about upgrading to get rid of the buffering problems.

What does the Giddy Up Network actually do?

50/25 up down connection and you still get buffers?

It's my main PC. I only use my PC to listen to music or watch youtube and to stream sports events. I normally purchase DVDs from the store or buy digital copy through Amazon. So if I can get XBMC for my TV without hooking up my PC to it I am all for that.

I have a PC that is solely for XBMC (for now)

50/25 up down connection and you still get buffers?

i think i got 50/50 and mine buffers sometimes to with wifi. much less when it's connected directly to the router with the ethernet but occasionally it'll buffer. i think no matter how fast someones internet is they're gonna have some buffering in xbmc because of streams or the site the stream is from itself has too many people connecting to it at the same time, especially when it's live. xbmc is not perfect (it damn near is though).xbmc is going to freeze, crash, restart, and buffer sometimes. but it's not bothersome to me when watching movies or tv shows. it can be a little annoying when i'm watching a live event something big happens and i miss it. but at the end of the day it's free piff.

Wrestlemania 30 was just , one of dem iLive streams from mashup held a nicca down all the way through, only buffered like twice.
