manitoubass2 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 You can stream HD video with 5 mbs if its hardwired (ethernet) is prefered....if you're streaming to a laptop you can get away with less but don`t know the quality of your internet up there....I recently doubled my speed and I see no noticeable difference in quality... Id be willing to try. Afterall I can stream sports in HD and its literally zero difference in quality vrs satelite. I went off randys word because he knows what hes talking about and he sets up alot of boxes. Perhaps I should just go ahead. Worste case scenario it sucks and I can resell it
tb4me Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 Forget android boxes..If you have a laptop or computer with HDMI out just install kodi then add on any of the hundreds of good builds available out there..Easy peasy Lemon squeazy....
Steve Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 I forget. Ill test it again. In theory its around 20 but when I tested it a few weeks back I was only getting 3-7/second Just retested, 3.85 mb/s. Randy recommends at least 15 Is that speed 3.85 Mb/s or 3.85 MB/s 8b's in a B 3.85 MB/s isn't bad for HD streaming. 3.85 Mb/s is quite low, and I wouldn't think be best for HD streaming.

Worste case scenario it sucks and I can resell it I have. 6 megabit line (max 550 kbs or so) and I stream 1080p movies to my android box with no issue. Install kodi on an old laptop, add Exodus manually, and do a test stream if you're not sure. Then buy a android box, they're awesome.

My android box is awesome. Sure you could use a laptop, but even a used one on Kijiji will be more than the hundred bucks I paid for my android box.

Steve Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 you can stream with that speed. they suggest 5 MB/s as a min speed, but that is still quite good.
manitoubass2 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 you can stream with that speed. they suggest 5 MB/s as a min speed, but that is still quite good. Well then... Id think it would measure higher if other devices werent running??? Guess its time to get android box
Steve Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 yep. it would. it would also run faster if you connected your laptop/device directly to the router, instead of going wi-fi.
manitoubass2 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 yep. it would. it would also run faster if you connected your laptop/device directly to the router, instead of going wi-fi. Ah ic. Not an option though. Im watching through my phone
dave524 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 yep. it would. it would also run faster if you connected your laptop/device directly to the router, instead of going wi-fi. this X2 , even with our 25/5 fibre service it makes a difference.
manitoubass2 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 If I go android that is connected directly to the router would it not be?
BillM Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 Really does depend on the router/laptop but hardwired is the way to go if you can.
manitoubass2 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 Thanks folks! Ill get back to randy. Now back to hockey!!!
tb4me Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 My android box is awesome. Sure you could use a laptop, but even a used one on Kijiji will be more than the hundred bucks I paid for my android box. Im just recommending the laptop option to those that have one already..Id get the android box over a laptop if I didnt have either..However why spend a red cent if you already have a laptop with HDMI
Raf Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) you should still be able to stick kodi on your phone (if it's android) and cast it to the chromecast. google it. no laptops, no cheesy android boxes. ..or get yourself a raspberry pi if you like to tinker, and stick a linux based kodi build. these android boxes on the market these days are generally pretty poor devices.

I have literally nothing bad to say about mine. It works exactly as advertised.

GBW tried to explain this to me and I was lost. Perhaps I need to revisit the messages or get another tutorial
