Android TV set boxes
Anyone tried them I was recommended by a friend. Watch all the latest movies just out at the cinema and all the latest tv shows.
Been watching Breaking Bad from the beginning and seen Gone Girl . Even has the latest Terminator movie on and its not been released yet ! Mind it sticks a lot due to streaming , buffering all the time which gets on my nerves. But surely they are illegal. Going to put cinemas and sky/netflix out of business. Everything is free ! Just buy a box and thats it . One payment. Anyone tried them> Mines an MX android box, loads on ebay for sale so i summise they are legal for now ! |

If you are able to find a stream of the latest Terminator movie (Terminator: Genisys), then that stream/provider is definitely not kosher (and could be a leaked copy). According to the article linked to below, it's not due for release (in the US) until July 1st, June 25th in New Zealand, and possibly 3rd July in the UK.

As for the buffering, it's less likely to the box and more likely to be the speed of the host's servers, or maybe the internet speed from your ISP, or maybe if you're using wireless in the home. I have an MX box too. I'm in the process of ripping all my DVDs to a NAS drive doing it in 1:1. File sizes vary between 3 and 5Gb. That's more than highly compressed HD file. My own files stream perfectly from the NAS via wireless, so my guess is it's issues with the data over the net. |

Haven't seen sky sports, but has NSBC american sports channel which also shows all the premiership matches and cup games if you have a VPN code which you can buy from Google play for. 23 quid a year which is a lot cheaper than sky etc. |

Everything is "free" in the same way that the same content is available on the internet for "free" - in that it's not actually "free", you're just downloading it illegally. |

It's got all the sky channels, but you don't need sky movies because Genesis is there and has loads of movies, all the latest one!

Just download the KODI apk |

If you are, go to the add-on settings and choose "General". There you can enter the URL you want to use so just find a working proxy and it'll work fine - works perfectly for me. |

In answer to original question, well duh of course the streams are illegal. |

When the government released details of the Digital Economy Act, it said the first response would be to send out letters aimed at educating alleged infringers, informing them that what they were doing was illegal. How we all laughed - how could anyone not realise they were breaking the law by downloading free movies, software etc ? I guess the educational letters were aimed at dudes like the OP. He believes there's a magic free shop. I bought it on eBay is not a defence. |
