You can download a free trial for a few days - try it, and i don't think you'll be disappointed.

:offtopic:


Chillax (or anyone else who can answer), you seemed to be switched on re XBMC.

I bought a pre loaded Minix box which I am more than happy with but I do rely on the knowledge of the supplier for any changes or updates.

How do you get catchup TV ? I have Live TV and Expat TV but only live so not much use because of the time difference.

Also does your BBC Iplayer work still ? The BBC updated their app and now it doesn't work on my set top box. I also have STV player which works but not ITV player...........

I also use Hola which enables me to use the players.

Yes, works fine with many stations to choose from. Setup is a bit tricky unless you are familiar with XBMC/KODI.

One problem I have with Kodi is that it never plays what is displayed as the 'current program' under the channel - always something different, usually before or after what it says is "currently playing". Would be great if it showed a schedule for each TV channel as Expat-TV does.

You must adjust the Time Shift to UTC/GMT Time, in Thailand it is 7 hours.

Find “PVR IPTV Simple Client” and select this.
Press “Configure”.

– EPG settings tab:
“EPG Time Shift (hours)” – set the time difference to UTC/GMT with the arrow keys

Put it to +8 which is the difference to GMT and it still plays something completely different!

Well, tried it both ways +7 and -7 and it wont play anything. Set it all back to default and it still wont play ... not the most user-friendly system, and that's coming from a techie.
