    How To Set Up DIY OTT IPTV for Sky Channels?

    Thanks for your suggestions. Yeah, I'll be able to find son Ebay, maybe on Gumtree as well. I don't want to use a PC , cos I want to set it up to watch on telly. With Slingbox, I can connect my tab to TV HDMI port and let it play. I can leave it on 24x7 and it'd be just switching telly on and...

    How To Set Up DIY OTT IPTV for Sky Channels?

    Hi, I'm back with a quick question.....what is the basic Slingbox model name/number? I mean a very basic one, without any fancy bits. I'm happy with something without the option to control Sky box/receiver on the otherside. Cheers

    How To Set Up DIY OTT IPTV for Sky Channels?

    Now this is getting more complicated lolz! Thanks . I'll stick to your first advice of using EchoStar box which comes with Sling. I think I can live with using a tab and then connecting it to telly. Can I say that I don't have to Sling for using that EchoStar?

    How To Set Up DIY OTT IPTV for Sky Channels?

    Thanks for you replies guys. I've got a receiver box which I bought on Ebay. It's not actually from Sky box but using that satellite to watch channels. I'm happy not to go through software route. That Slingbox sounds straight forward though. Would it be like simply connecting freeview box...

    Hi Hope you guys are well. I'm here seeking some help to set up a TV networking using internet (similar to cable TV system). This is not for commercial use and I don't want to use Sky Q or Go, but just out of interest. I could take the IP set top box with me during holidays abroad. So What it...
