Hey nerds: Your streaming rigs

Going to dip my toe into the waters first I think before spending the money on slightly better stolen TV. Papa's spending 6 grand on a fucking camera shortly (and another 3 on a new lens ffs) so it'll be cheap baby steps instead of my usual approach of diving in head first with my wallet wide open.

With all that, the Nvidia will be cheap. Maybe take a look on Black Friday... could be cheap(ish.) It's $199 and I paid $169 on Amazon days.

I'm a BTC guy, so I just used my desktop wallet to make the payment. Easy peasy.

Ahh, gotcha.

I don't really fuck with the electric scammy scammy money anymore. I think I do have a coinbase account still though, I can probably add add money to it.

I only fuck with BTC personally, but yeah any exchange like Newton or even Wealthsimple could work.
 
So it is normal for movie replay to be turrible? Is that the 4K firestick or internet speed? I'm currently on bullshit Rogers until Dec 1 when our neighbourhood finally gets fibre so uncompressed 4K movies while other people are using bandwidth could probably bottleneck. Everything else streams fine though, live sports and live TV (caught up on mexican natgeo last night!)

It just seems hit or miss to me. Some things seem look and run great... While other things just seem like crap. I was told it was not so much your internet speed as much as it is the quality of the processor.
 
The service from my IPTV provider (a guy based in Jordan) has become less and less reliable over the past few months. I'm trying to find another not-quite-legal, offshore provider. Any recommendations?

So with a shield pro I find I get much better performance. I also find hard cabled gives even better performance.
 
Google play has an app that generates IPTV codes for IPTV smarters

Xstream IPTV code generator.

So, Smarters is now available on most, if not all smart tvs. I'm sure a lot of IPTV players are available on tvs now.

It seems to run quite well, making my Nvidia Sheild box kinda pointless now.

Amazon is blocking 3rd party apps from their Firesticks, but to date, it hasn’t impacted their web browser.
