    blusoop i recken the box should work on hdmi 1 or 2 , you say you have two hdmi outlets on tv , when you press the source key on tv remote you should get list with hdmi1 / hdmi2 plus other options , put hdmi cable from box in to hdmi 1 turn on the box , press hdmi1 on remote source if no picture unplug hdmi from tv and plug in to hdmi2 and press hdmi2 on remote source , you should get box logo on one or the other hdmi sources ,
    ps make sure your tv source is set on hdmi1 or two and not on ext6
    cheers

    Hi Paulie
    Had a bit more of a fiddle around today. The source options outr TV gives us are TV, DTV, EXT1, EXT 2, EXT 3, EXT 4, EXT 5 and EXT 6. 5 and 6 relate to the HDMI ports. However I have managed to get the box working on the tv today using EXT 3 which uses the 3 coloured plugs, currently used for the Wii. I'm frustrated it still won't work through HDMI on this tv. But at least we can watch it. Now it won't connect to the wireless...even though it connected to the wireless upstairs, so i had to connect to the etherport. But I did managed to download a couple of movies tonight and that was a novelty in itself. Thank you for the help Paulie I really appreciate it. Hopefully after a bit more thorough investigation I will solve it! Thank you for your support x

    Blusoop the boxes do run better thru ethernet cable , if you go to settings on main app page and open , it gives option for wifi or ethernet , you can tick which one you want ?, but as I say it's best to connect hardwired
    Cheers , happy viewing ......

    is anybody using 1channel in UK? I read it's IP blocked in UK, so I tried it without a VPN and not much worked, I then downloaded cloudvpn and switched it on, tried 1channel again and still not much worked... just the same with or without VPN it seemed. is the add-on not working?

    Ichannel working over here , but I think tongs posted that ichannel, is blocked by some servers in UK , I think you have to keep changing url to get to work , to be honest don't use it that much as there are a lot better working addons than ichannel

    Hi, this may have been answered already, apologies if so...
    But what's a good site to find the up to date URLs for the repos etc? Apart from someone giving the URL for say fusion on here, how would I find that myself?

    I am trying to find Game of Thrones season 6.
    It's on Salts but doesn't work...I assume I need to update.
