Hello all, There is another thread about the game today, so i wont mention that, but i would like to get a response about an idea we are currently working on which could replace your sky+ box. Due to the planned upgrades in broadband in most areas of the country we are seriously considering bringing out a "flashsportstreams TV Box" These boxes would have all channels from flashsportstreams programed in and would come with a 12 month subscription built in, so you could view flashsportstreams on your tv. This is in response to a very large among of requests to enable stream recordings on our service, these boxes would have a pvr option so you could set recordings for your favorite shows. Of course there would be all the sky channels, and most importantly be Stoke 3pm games enabled on your tv which you can access without having a large tv, hdmi ps3 all you would need is a scart cable to hook up your tv, but there would be a hd optional connection of course. This is something which we hope to have up and running by pre season. We would like to know your reviews on this. Do you think this is a good idea? Would you buy this box with a 12 month subscription on it? Terrible idea? Your thoughts are very valuable to us, so be honest  |

the problem you will have is the quality.
HD is so much better than streams (obviously) but depending on price you might be on to a winner, if it was cheap enough im sure many people would have both anyway

Thats the chance you take....I reckon the Starview 7 will be ok for a couple of years yet. Ok i will answer this, Starview uses cable, Dreambox, Technomate boxes etc... use ccam/cline satellite feeds, both types of connections are of course using official uk transmissions therefore have limited lifespan. An IPTV box would be using nothing more than your internet connection, there would be no aerial/satellite/cable connection needed and would last as long as flashsportstreams stays online which dispite peoples views of a few years ago which were amusing saying we "would be closed inside 6 months" we have never been more legally secure and stabilized. so are going nowhere. As for the price, the box itself will not be a money maker for us, the iptv box will be as budgeted as we can possibly do it. The aim of it is not to earn money, it is to enable members to get even more out of there subscription. happy members = successfully website |

You can't scramble an internet connection. You can cut it off for breach of terms of conditions but they can't scramble data packages without intercepting at the very least and thats a pretty big load of ballache for an ISP to do on behalf of sky.

So say we paid the 12 month subscription. What happens with the DDOS attcks which are becoming more frequent?
Sounds a good idea as long as we wouldn't be left with a slab of plastic but no service.

Sounds good, I think I would get one as it would be much easier to hook up to the tv than my laptop also I could do work on the laptop whilst watching the football.
Keep us updated marra.
