Techno newb is cutting the cable

Toronto Pimp

I also have the mygica and got rid of all my bell tv services two months ago. Don't miss it one bit. I picked up the remote control that has the full keyboard on it and it is idiot proof.

would never go back to bell or rogers tv.

Borrowed a box to try and convince the wife we should go that route. Strange thing is it randomly turns the tv off and I have to unplug the HDMI to get the TV back on. Very strange.

Doing some research, but might be either the HDMI cable or a problem with older Toshiba TVs

I honestly think you guys will love it Hobbes. I have no idea how long these things have been around, but they're great. I wish I had one a long time ago. Be sure to get a wireless keyboard though. Makes life much, much easier.

I have the MyGica ATB 585 and it works great. We still have cable just due to the bundle we have but it is great for watching movies are rewatching SOA. Movie network for $$$ not a chance.

Noticed that Icefilms had a standup comedy category. Tried the addon, most of the links are dead. Boo. Not funny at all.

Edit: Still having buffering problems every now and again. I can't even remember if I went back in to change it again after the last time. I remember finding the advancedsettings.xml file to be a bit of a pain. Just realized this thing has 2Gb of internal ddr ram so I'm just gonna make the cache 1Gb or something and see what that does. I haven't downloaded any apps so I can't see myself running out of RAM any time soon.

Edit 2: For some reason, the last time I did this the xml file never got saved. Spent some time fiddling and managed to get it saved with the following values.
Buffermode 1
Cache mem buffer size 314572800
Readbuffer 20

Been letting a 1080p movie run with AAC2.0 audio for close to 10 minutes now with no buffering. Hope this lengthy search is over with at this point.

Did you know that your dog can only flip your coffee table over spilling your drink all over your K400 keyboard 4 times before some of the keys won't work? Better not need to search for a show/movie with the letter O in it, or go to the home screen.

I'm pretty sure that puts my dog's tab for wrecking my tech toys over $1500 at this point. I kind of hate him today.

My dog can only do that once...

i paid a geek $25 to set up my android TV box and now I get everything without buffering and all the live TV etc.For $25 it was worth every penny,Why dont you do this?There are lots of geeks on Kijiji who will do a pro job.Just my 2 cents worth.

You can still get buffering with a perfect setup if the source has bandwidth challenges.

I may have neglected to mention I got the nexus player from amazon at a very good price. Likely because there's a new one coming out. The remote is shit for Kodi but with a wireless keyboard mouse combo, it is as smooth as silk. Just amazing.

After being ripped off by Cogeco Cable just to watch the WSOP Main Event on TSN2, is there any better idiot-proof way to get rid of cable than a pre-configured MyGica 1800E? My better half watches in the living room with cable TV and an LG Blu-ray player with Smart TV, while I have a 42" LG HDTV that I use as a second poker screen with my laptop. Do I simply connect MyGica to my router and HDTV? I have rarely watched TV for years, but interested in shows such as World Poker Tour (FSN) and Game of Thrones (HBO).

Will I need a second MyGica for the living room TV? Should I buy a MyGica remote control with full keyboard? I may need to hire chaimr1924 the geek to teach an old dog new tricks. :wink:

When you go that site download the Kodi app for TV you might like that and it is a no brainer you wont need a MYGICA :-X

BlondeFish

Thanks to chaimr1924 for telling me about Kodi for Windows and I have started watching new movies. Has anybody found World Poker Tour episodes from FSN Season 13 such as WPT Fallsview?

you mifgt find that on you tube make a search therehttp://www.tvaddons.ag/theroyalwe-kodi-addon/ read this link for a good new search engine

BlondeFish

I've searched & asked, and the WPT Season 13 episodes from FSN cable TV do not seem to be available yet. I'll bring your large-size poker hoodie next time I see you at GBH or other casino.

For my better half's TV in the living room, which of Amazon Fire TV, ROKU 3 or MyGICA is best to cut the cable TV cord permanently?
