Direction for Media Player

[Rafellasmom]

Hi all

So I am looking at getting ADSL at home (finally) and am looking at getting a media player to stream as opposed to watching the wonderfully repeated (to death) shows on DSTV.

Unfortunately I'm absolutely clueless at everything streaming. I would like some advise on media players that are relatively easy to set up at home - that we can watch a variety of kids and adults shows on - and something that is not going to cost any body parts to obtain. I don't have a smart TV - and only one laptop (which I would use in my room for streaming) so just need something for the TV room setup.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hello new "girl"......check out the Mi Box on gearbest.

Would you mind posting a pic so we can decide which box would suit your skin tone and personality? In the mean time I'd agree with beens on his recommendation..

That is such an interesting suggestion.

Although I really don't think my personality shines through in photos...

But your best bet is to suggest the type of IT equipment that even that "blond girl" (you know from all those jokes) can relate to.

Thanks so much! Is it relatively safe to order from them? I see shipping to SA is "free - with no tracking number" - should shipping insurance cover any non-delivery?

I've ordered both mine from them and the service is very efficient and fast.

Use Priority line shipping, it's via Aramex. It's a few Rand more, but will be here quicker.

EDIT: Check this thread for people who ordered there, some info etc.: https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/905414-How-to-import-from-GearBest-and-more/page26

Awesome thanks Beans! Is this easy to set up (plug in and use?)

Another stupid question - is it EU plug we order?
