The PS3 controller currently doesn't work.. The PS4 Controller can be made to work, albeit with some tinkering.. The Xbox 360 controller works fine.. Then according to the Minix team... Geekbuying.

True.. However, there are downsides to one click installs..
*You don't control exactly what goes in and out.
*Hard to debug if a particular addon clashes with others..
*Most installs and use up huge spaces on the hard disk.. Folks with low memory boxes will get screwed.. Typically forcing a Kodi uninstall.. Thereby losing previous configuration.

Lastly, one really only needs a few addons, keep them updated, etc.. Easier to troubleshoot should bugs arise.. There is a comprehensive and active Kodi thread here on the forum..
Hypptv & Astro.. Obviously..  tongue.gif

Alternatively, buy one of the many IPTV services offering android apps...

i do not do gaming... can ask seller too.

and comments from other users.
for kodi, the best i found was Superbox build.
been using it for 3 months now.
the only drawback is it is BIG, takes up to 2GB of the memory! biggrin.gif
in english, kodi offer some decent links.
check kodi thread, look for adrian super tv, avengers, adrian sports, sportsdevil addons - there, u find skysports, tsn, bein, etc.
very hard to explain kodi, u need to read and try...

china channels - get addons that have cctv5 and cctv5+ - these are the best sports live tv channels.

Rough estimate puts it around RM1xx.. Can be purchased from online stores like Aliexpress and Lazada.. Do check around locally first.. Good to patronize local sellers and plus, it'll get delivered faster and no possibility of dealing with customs..  smile.gif
Yup, using the Neo U1.. Unfortunately, I can't comment too much about its wireless capabilities as mine's only a few feet away from the router and cabled.. I can say based on light reading, that it's got a decent external antenna, supports wireless AC tech. To address the network lag, I would advise you focus on improving the home LAN (wifi) connection.. Especially if still on stock TM's router.

TQ will look for local seller first thumbup.gif

I dun use tm ori modem router. I changed to dlink 2750u.

I feel my innacomm modem hang while using and having poor WiFi signal..im using streamyx 8 mbps...how about dlink performance.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Jul 27 2016, 10:51 PM)
While still a decent Wireless N router... Depending on the required coverage area, perhaps its optimal to upgrade to one that supports the newer standard & provides better WiFi coverage? Of course, doing so, particularly for a 4Mbps line, appears like overkill... I must point out that you'll still benefit from improved LAN performance.

Oh asus router like connecting to tm modem right..so this router able to solved my problem so I don't need to buy the all in one modem...

this one?

http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-suppor...h4-0-kodi-dolby

looks fine to me.
a matter of putting the right apps in and then maintaining them.
streamyx is known to have stability issues, unlike unifi which is a lot more stable.

routers... the popular brands are asus and tplink. however, u need to be sure if a model works with streamyx. best to check in this section:
https://forum.lowyat.net/NetworksandBroadband
generally, can say yes, will be ok.

but it depends on a few factors - your incoming stability, your router and the type/links of the "HD" video streams, if any other device in use.
ethernet connection will surely help.
*
But here Unifi just started but my area still not yet...yes I'm in network and broadband thread too last time they help me to disable the ipv6..I agree streamyx got stability issue but while streaming its like hang and the WiFi signal very bad that's the reason looking for new modem.. once Unifi available in my area will subscribe to it but hope in future Unifi wont start quota all

As long as problem solved.. Its all good..  thumbup.gif
Hey...first things first.. inform wifey that FB does not belong on the big screen... Later you kena and sit on the couch screaming inside, while she scrolls FB feeds..  tongue.gif

Next.. If referring to the box in the image below.. At that price point, its quite decent and should accommodate your needs. Of course provided you don't run into unforeseeable circumstances in the future like installing an IPTV app that refuses to cooperate with this hardware, due to a lock-down or whatever.. In which case, oh well! console.gif

Hmm, as advised... Things do get tricky when Streamyx is involved, you'd get better answers in the Network and Broadband thread.

Tip: When it comes to wireless routers or modems or combos, etc... The rule of thumb is to purchase the best performing router within your budget. This is generally decided by price. For example, as the RRP cost of say an Asus router goes up, the better performance it produces (theoretically). IMO, I wouldn't settle for anything less performing/featured than the Asus RT-AC55UHP.
For router and modem recommendations... Please see above.

Shopping from Aliexpress is relatively straightforward. Stick to the following basics and you should be good.
*Create a free account.
*Search for item you are interested to purchase.
*Take ratings and reviews into account.. Narrow down seller options to a preferred seller.
*Add to cart, select shipping option.. Preferably something express... I.E. Fedex/DHL
*Make payment... Order gets processed and shipped.
*Delivery.. Profit!!
A standalone Modem does a specific job, same as a standalone Router does its job too. They are designed to carry out dedicated tasks. The best router paired with a crappy Modem will still result in crappy Internet. Same applies to the best Modem being paired with a crappy Router. That's where Modem-Router combos come in.. Try to balance both worlds in one device.. Now, since you are all too familiar with the Networks and Broadband section.... You get what needs to be done next!  biggrin.gif

so far it works well. this is one of the few cheaper router + modem for dual band wifi.

But if you intend to upgrade to unifi in the future, this modem may not suitable for you. Unifi need other compatible router

Its a ac modem..price also cheaper...but streamyx only support N right or the N and AC is related to modem...in network and broadband thread member suggest me Tp Link WR841HP V3 high power router...still confused which model to choose 😋...sorry guys for asking about networking in this thread wanna njoii my kodi without buffering issue actually 😝

Meaning the streaming will be more stable by using better / more powerful router ?

Actually streamyx is not stable but I'm getting new modem for WiFi signal actually the ori tm modem without antenna is bad actually...so planning to change my tm modem caused some member ask me to add high power router and some ask to change the dsl itself 😊
