Gone off air here in Argèles. Receiving it through Samsung Blue Ray DVD etc. Get as far as choosing the channel from the block descriptions and that's it. Anybody else experiencing same. The 91 year old downstairs only lives for Coronation St. etc.
Strength of internet signal is same as usual. Any help - Thanks.

I used Filmon for live TV from a laptop to an hdmi tv with their HDI player when I was down in Feb/Mar. The picture quality was poor and it was, to say the least, very quirky. Exactly what you'd expect for free.
I tried a 9.99 punt on their HD quality which resulted in a better picture but still very quirky and this time a lot of buffering which I suspect is from the Filmon server because we get a pretty steady 7.5 download speed.
I've now gone with a pay as you go IPTV provider and I suspect that it will be the future, it gives the Freeview line up, 14 days catch up, good quality picture and sound, different package options and only needs 1.2 download.
It took a while to move on from getting it free and accept that it has to be paid for and now it will be the way ahead.

No problems for us in Argelès using the FimOn iPad App., hard-wired to the television via an Apple digital AV adaptor.
However, on Monday & Tuesday evening this week, a slow-down in internet speed DID cause a screen freeze but it was only temporary.
Having said that, we're delighted with FilmOn, especially as we're no longer using the Apple TV Box. The hard-wiring of an iPad Mini to our Sony Bravia via an Apple digital AV adaptor & an HDMI cable seems to have cured previous issues of buffering and screen freezes.

I have a feeling that all these sites which offer to stream live TV channels to your computer are operating without a broadcasting licence and are almost sure to get closed down or restricted in the near future.
I've now adjusted my life to watching "catchup" programs via BBC etc and this week I've subscribed to Netflix which I have to say is brilliant.

How much does this cost and what do you get for this price. I've heard that I can download as much as I want, within a certain time. I knew it was getting better here in France and we're going to take a look at this system.Santiago wrote:I have a feeling that all these sites which offer to stream live TV channels to your computer are operating without a broadcasting licence and are almost sure to get closed down or restricted in the near future.

On what information are you basing this?Santiago wrote:I have a feeling that all these sites which offer to stream live TV channels to your computer are operating without a broadcasting licence and are almost sure to get closed down or restricted in the near future.

Filmon has been operating for 4 years and it is my understanding they are now based in CH where 're-broadcasting' isn't against Swiss Law....
However the 'SUbscription' IPTV Services are mainly based in the Spain and with the state of the Spanish Economy i doubt there will be any problems....just so long as they pay all their 'Taxes'.

Re: filmon
XBMC (X-box Media Centre) is available on a Windows Computer as well as Android Based System (Tablets/Smartphones and IPTV Boxes) and even the likes of Iphones/ipads.monsans wrote:Thanks for all the replies. But Montgolfiere what is 'XBMC? How do I find it on my set-up which is the Samsung B.R. DVD and a Sony Bravia HD etc. plus a strong WIFI connection.
Basically in the Android App Configuration it allows running 1000's of Addons which allow Streaming of the likes of Filmon for 'Live TV, and also many others that give access to Libraries of Series as well as Movies. In my (Humble) opinion it is pretty awesome!!

You can't use XBMC. On a BluRay player. Do you still have the problem? Does it work on your PC or your Android box?montgolfiere wrote:XBMC (X-box Media Centre) is available on a Windows Computer as well as Android Based System (Tablets/Smartphones and IPTV Boxes) and even the likes of Iphones/ipads.monsans wrote:Thanks for all the replies.

It is possible that Samsung has updated their software and the web browser isn't working properly. Try using your remote to start the Smart Hub and check for updated applications.

To be honest, Interiors, I think the guys in the know here have done their best to put it in the simplest terms possible. It's a complicated subject. I know it takes some work to understand. I'm an ex IT engineer and it took me a few hours of reading the posts and checking out the links.
But it's worth it because I think the "simple solution" being offered to people at the moment is poor value for money and not guaranteed to work in the future.

Again thanks for all the help. It has come back mysteriously and as my client is 91 years old I am going to let sleeping dogs lie. I have printed off all replies for future reference.
