XBMC and Live Streaming Sites
- Thread starter SONIC
- Start date
I tried Navi-X last night for the first time and most of the content is crap, almost all the live stations worth watching were dead, i couldn't get FX anywhere to watch SOA. Of the live streams i could get it just kept buffering, expecially anything good quality.
Any of you experienced users have any idea of what gives?

Really? I tried it last night and thought it was alright. Lots of garbage to sift through, but within 10 minutes of testing I was watching scrubs on fx, oblivion, and this is the end. Quality for all was as good as I'd expect.

+1 Nice setup but trying to find decent channels is a crap shoot. Too much junk you can already watch on youtube in better quality as well. I prefer to download a show. I do not like the stops and starts of streaming plus if you hit a bottleneck you have to reload the entire thing.
Can't remember exactly, but it said FX. I'm sure it was live streaming. I started watching it and it jumped into the middle of Scrubs (nowhere near the start of the episode)
How does sickbear work exactly? Looked it up but don't get it....
Haven't tried it yet with Match of the Day but it looks like you can change your VPN settings pretty easily on the iPad to a UK one and watch Match of the Day footy live on it easily from a few different UK TV streaming sites. I tried watching a a few other BBC and iTV progs and it worked fine.
It's a little complicated to setup, but once it's running you don't have to do anything and all your favorite shows get downloaded to your computer as soon as they're available.
Its a software PVR that gets shows from the internet, a lot like a hardware PVR in your living room that gets shows over your cable TV connection. You have to install it along side a download client (SABNZDB and a payed newsgroup account are recommended, or a torrent client). Once its running you tell it the shows you want, and it grabs a schedule for when they air. It then runs in the background and when new shows have aired and their files are available, it tells SABNZDB or your torrent client to download them. When they're done, it renames them and organizes them into your media library however you want.
Once it's running properly its amazing. You just wake up on Monday morning and the shows from Sunday night are sitting ready for you to watch! You don't even have to know they aired.

Sabnzbd, Sickbeard, and XBMC is an amazing combo. I have a mini linux computer (Pogoplug) running Sickbeard and Sabnzbd, Sickbeard automatically tells XBMC on my AppleTV2 to update it's library. All I have to do is switch on the Apple TV and I have a nice menu to watch all of my saved shows. The Pogoplug also functions as a NAS so I can access my saved stuff from any computer in the house, and theoretically from anywhere if I ever get around to setting it up.

No problem bud!. I found it comical as I was watching it at the time!
Sorry again, I was silently being sarcastic about being a noob.... I actually know a lot about Apple products.
It is known worldwide that when you use the term jailbreak, it translates as an Apple device. Root is widely used by Android.
Plus you don't have to root an android device to install xbmc.
Google TV runs android, but xbmc is not supported Yet???
