54_and_counting Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Got all the add ons mentioned now, still find it all very hit and miss. When I connect it to the TV the pictures ain't great but if I'm getting it for free I can't complain as most are certainly watchable. what pictures arent great mate? the addons i use are picture perfect unless its recent released movies and its a cam copy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Streams of live sports are generally poor, movies range from cam copy to OK. On the whole though everything is watchable but certainly nothing that seems to be in HD. I have ordered a new HDMI cable, I still get the cutting off and on problem I was getting with showbox so think that may be the cable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParT Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Installed The Beast and still can't get a decent stream of BT Sports, for example. Brilliant for tv shows and movies, but terrible for live feeds, unless I'm going about it all wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Got the replacement HDMI through, it hasn't stopped it cutting off and on when connected to the TV. Not sure if there is a setting I could change to fix this. At least I can watch things on the hudl now and it can stop collecting dust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried going into kodi settings - system - video output and change it to screen 2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Have you tried going into kodi settings - system - video output and change it to screen 2? Someone mentioned doing this, I had a look and couldn't find how to do it. I will have another look at it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Still can't find the screen 2 option. Is this the right menu I'm in? Edited August 23, 2015 by thomas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davi3j Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Still can't find the screen 2 option. Is this the right menu I'm in? yes, the top option is "display mode", when you're plugged into the tv, use the up and down arrows on the same line as "display mode" and there will be an option to change to screen 2. IIRC you will need to be connected to the tv for that option to show up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Couldn't change the display mode at all, even when plugged into the TV. Had a look into it and it seems my problems may be from a fault in the hudl itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty79 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Been thinking about getting one of these but have read they work best with fibre broadband, at the moment my area only has 8mb at best, would one of these still work ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Been thinking about getting one of these but have read they work best with fibre broadband, at the moment my area only has 8mb at best, would one of these still work ? It will work but it will take longer to load feeds and you might find they buffer while watching 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
