Any idea if it can stream Hulu Plus from America with a simple change in DNS Servers?

I've got the g box midnight.
Fully loaded . From eBay. Paid £85

It's good. It's got Chanel's like Chanel 1 for movies , ice Chanel also for movies.

If you want TV Chanel streams go to navi x and in there is a list of live streams for movies and sport.

You can watch pretty much any game. But if it's a big game like Utd v Liverpool a lot of ppl watch so it's slow.

I have a sky account and a Netflix account.

You can access hulu but I don't know what it is lol.

Hope that helps

It streams loads of USA content without a DNS switch etc.

Some streams are slow though.

You can watch live USA shows.

The ebay description is shite to be fair.Without wanting to state the obvious is it HDMI or scart.And does Jailbreak mean you get all the apps free like Netflix? Again,i apologise if im stating the obvious. :thumbright:

Not clicked the link but are these run through the internet? Our internet up in Ton pentre is piss poor and im not sure what kind of picture we would get. I also take it you couldnt use the internet while watching the tv then?

If you buy the one with 'Free Gift' on ebay thats basicly full sky with box office, the lot. Think you need to pay again after the 12months, not sure how much? 40 or 50quid id say.

Re: Android tv box great bit of kit

Not on the one I got. The one I got actualy uses the Sky dish and satalite, Not sure how the others work. I think some are just streams from website etc.

Re: Android tv box great bit of kit

To get Al jazeera you need to move your dish. http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f1 ... ox-325462/

Too complicated. I think I'll go with the android box. Or just go down the pub.

Had this box delivered today, not too impressed with it to be honest, found the hand control only works when it wants to, and the keyboard supplied with no instructions on how to use,have the battery on charge at the moment so hoping I will be able to use it when it is fully charged.

Getting a lot of errors on it at the moment, which with my limited amount of knowledge on this type of product is quite scarry.

Had one for a month. Great to start with, give it a month and it won't get used. Most links are dead, the ones that work need to buff all the time. I have 16meg bband and it runs slow as....

I'm glad I have a sky account and Netflix.
