It's probably a supplier issue I have 2 subs from different suppliers and eleven is crap on both of them.

Going to America next month and am tempted to buy one. Does anyone know if the power supply comes with region-specific plug attachments or would it just be a US plug?

Just buy a US > UK adapter for 1€ in Dealz.

Just on that guys,

Check your plug to make sure it isn't a dodgy model

When you say integrated into live channels what live channels do you mean,is it just live iptv or over the air channels or cable channels.

That's interesting.

I bought my Shield from Amazon France, but from memory it came with both UK and EU plugs, so have never actually used the EU one. Will check mine anyway.

Pretty sure they mean the live channels app that is preinstalled on your Shield.

Ok but do you know if that app is capable of integrating a number of sources say something like wooshbuild on the zgeemma where you can have sat. Channels and IPTV channels on the one epg.

TVirl are working on grouping, it is expected to be introduced soon, although they have said that it will be ready when it's ready.
Import them in live channels app.

so I can get my FTA sat channels and my iptv sub integrated into the live channels app, does anyone know if saorview can also be integrated, I think it could probably be done by using the HDhomerun box but thats an expensive solution, is there a cheaper way?? it would be great to have all my tv sources in the one place

Forgive the ignorant question but if you have an IPTV sub what FTA or Saorview channels are you missing?

I was wondering the exact same thing because iptv has the full selection
I have saorview as a back up on the tv in case the internet is out of action

100% the same. I've a combo FTA and Saorview box but increasingly we use the IPTV app (StbEmu) for content not available on the combo box and stick with it when switching to an FTA or Saorview channel and often forget entirely that we're watching via IPTV.

The only thing I haven't figured out on IPTV is how to record programs and in particular a "series watch" type function where you can set it to record all Match of the Day programs going forward and just forget about it. That would be great but as many of the IPTV channels have 24 hour rewind (and there are other sources to catch missed programs) it's not such a big deal.

ahh look we all know IPTV is not perfect I mainly use it for the sports and can put up with the odd bit of buffering or temporary freeze but my missus can't especially if she has her friends over watching strictly or some other rubbish so fta and saorview does her fine

That’s a supplier issue I would say
I had a very bad iptv once with no epg and constant freezing so I got rid of that one and now have a flawless viewing experience and never use fta or saorview but handy as a back up

I have tried numerous suppliers and haven't found one that was flawless, so you know what might next question is. Can you pm me the details

Sure let me try anyway they might recommend someone else if they won't take on new customers

yeah didn't think so, there are only a few main suppliers left everyone else is a reseller they are all selling the same thing and none of them are 100% flawless anyway it is what is and you get what you pay for. Anyway I'm getting off topic I'm looking forward to getting the shield and setting up my TV sources in the live channels app.

Yes, when it is ready. Saorview may be possible too but I can't say for sure.
Yes, it is good to have them. I think flawless has different definitions here. IPTV is definitely not flawless. None of the main IPTV providers are selling true IPTV, so they are at the mercy of the providers feed. I think there was one main service feeding to a few others for a while but I believe that they are gone now. I prefer to have the backup FTA anyway in case any provider I am using decides to cram more customers on to their subs, and for outage issues. I am guessing many are on the same three services, possibly most.

Yeah totally agree, I have also found that there are some really cheap providers out there offering as good a service as the more expensive ones. BTW what do you mean by when it's ready, are there changes coming to saorview or something.

Off-topic, but is there a cheap, reliable HD freeview/Saorview box out there to put with an old but still very good dumb tv? It's for the ma, no way I'd get her head around the likes of IPTV!

gerrybbadd · 22-08-2018 10:26am

Has anyone played GTA San Andreas on their Shield here? How's the controller support?

LimerickCity · 22-08-2018 10:57am

So i setup TvIrl yesterday and after some long time trying to sort it out i gave up.
The problem i have is that it is importing all of the tv shows and movies from my IPTV sub. Over 18k in total so it goes so far and then times out.

Any combo will do fine (SAT / TERR). But you'll need a sat dish for the UK stuff and antenna for the local channels. The ideal would be Freesat (channels auto update) for the UK stuff and separate for saorview but that 2 boxes/2 controls.

Have you dish or/and antenna in place ?
