MAG254 New Purchase

[manfredz]

on IKS were you getting full 1080p HD? Much of IPTV is still SD but more going 720p, and some services starting to dabble in full 1080p

Most IKS channels are awesome HD quality. I couldn't tell the difference compared to Shaw cable HD

What is IKS? Sorry am new to this format and really don't understand a lot of the stuff.

I look on the internet for alternative boxes to the Mag254 but all I get is Android boxes which apparently are not the same as the Mag is based on Linux.

So what are the realistic alternative's, as tallman said I want a proper channel list with good quality picture and catch up with a program guide and I cannot see that in the KODI system no matter what I do with it.

Internet Key Sharing. For satellite television reception. You need satellite dish(es) to receive it

Thanks Captainkangaroo for explaining IKS.

I already have a 1.9 metre Satellite System but its part of our community installation and is set at 28.2. I wanted to watch the football but the only way would have been with a Sky subscription and at 75 euros per month way over my price, hence looking at an alternative and iPTV was what I was looking at, knowing the picture quality would never be as good as a Sat system.

Hence looking at the Mag254 or alternatives.

Thanks again

That's pretty much what you need Mate to watch Real footie!....Lots of SKY english ch's in their lineup!

I changed my hdmi cable over the weekend and the quality is much better. Not as good as IKS. I'd say depending on the channel 80-90% as good.
