Privet Futubox! dobro pozhalovat'

Please advise on FX HD? I have been trying to get an answer for this for quite some time. Is it/will it be available in English?

Spasiba. Has been really good, haven't had issues with quality, but I did get the highest connection speed available over here. But same as the other guys on here, I don't speak spanish, so more English channels would be good.

than will do
 
Out of interest; what would Futubox offer me that services like hulu or netflix don't?
Besides sport I guess?
 
Havent logged in a little while because I was not having great experiences. So today to see if things have changed I logged in and tried to watch history channel. Just get a blank screen with the little loading icon. Aah well, you wont see my complaints here much longer. I guess this service is not meant for me. Wont be renewing. Ill try again in 6 months time when perhaps the tech is a little more mature.

I had the similar experience to you. It either takes too long to load or doesn't load at all. Tried all four servers (HD and SD). I've got a 10mb line, live less than 2km from the exchange and i'm running nothing at the time of trying to watch stuff. I've also not renewed my subscription and rather waiting until their system is a bit more mature. Don't get me wrong, I would love this service, but the only thing stopping me from renewing is the previously mentioned irritations.

But I'm willing to try one more month (especially now that EPL is starting again), then will wait a few months if it doesn't work for me.

They are doing updates on their servers as per their facebook page.
 
@Futubox and everyone else..

My biggest issue is the streams just randomly stop in XBMC. I'll be watching fine - then all of a sudden, it stops and goes back to the channel listings. I have had this issue on two devices and it seems it's not related to just one channel.

Any advice??

Driving me nuts here!

What internet connection do you have? Does the same thing happen when streaming directly from the site?

Carry on....... What are you saying or suggesting?

I have the same problem with XBMC when creating a .strm file with the rtmp addy of the channel I want to watch:
rtmp://s01.futubox.to/live?lp=aXZvcms6OnNh-MY-CODE-N2YxMDBlNTI1OT/z050241.stream

Breaks up and digitised, buffering, cans everything and drops out back to the XVMC menu...all the time no matter which server I choose.

But when I play via their website it's "almost" perfect when I select SD.
Which is a real pain in the @ss with a no keyboard, no mouse XBMC media centre with just a remote.

WTF??????? What stream are they giving via the web? Examining the source i see no RTMP, MMS, RTSP or HTTP embedded stream anywhere.:confused:
 
What kind of sports are offered on here? Are NFL (American Football offered on here)?

On their website, can you choose the quality you want to view at 480p, 720p? Or is it just SD or HD?
 
Do you have a copy of the guide? I'm having issues again, only have half the channels.
