Netflix versus ShowMax

[bwana]

Because of the DNS settings.

It's my understanding that if it's not something covered by unotelly it get routed to another dns (google iirc).

I read somewhere that Android boxes - not sure if all - can't have HD?

Yeah if you are referring to Netflix I am not sure, it does 1080P HD quite nice from other sources though.

Starting to think this may be the way to go.

Bit of an expensive layout though and I will have to find a way of making one of the cellular companies that let you watch for "free" to work at my house.

Showmax is not an option for me, only way I can watch it on my TV is via HDMI cable.

 

[ngwe23]

Do I understand this correctly? I cant run Unotelly DNS and SHOWMAX at the same time?

You can. I alternate between Netflix US and Showmax

Do you watch Showmax on your TV? How?

If Showmax doesn't get their app onto the Roku/chromecast/xbox I am ditching it next month.

As a temporary solution I connect my laptop via HDMI onto the TV.

Nah - they just hold onto your details and if you don't cancel at the end of the trial they charge you for the following month.

THanks.

Not an option for me, so no Showmax either.

Still no Showmax Apple TV support - they did say it would happen before the end of 2015.

Why not just buy a Android box? Get some of your old stored pc parts and mash them all together and build a pc to hook to the tv? What hardware do you currently own to watch video content on?

What RPM doesn't know won't hurt him.

I use my WD TV Live that has the Netflix app on.

Ohh ok. Nice device that. Hope Showmax supports it soon. But yeah these cheap chinese android boxes looks like crap, especially at the price, but trust me they perform quite well. maybe something to look into, just for the fun of it.

Pretty neat.

How do you use this?

Install it and use it to access Netflix instead of the Netflix app it seems. Except it has all the content, not just regional.
