This might be better - more freeview channels

do you have to buy passes for thatsecond one ??

[murraymints]

will that second one give me the normal range of freeview channels without the need to purchase anything other than the box itself ?

There's simply no way to get the full range of Freeview channels (or even a good selection of them) over the internet. All of the various sticks and boxes are designed to supplement Freeview reception, not to actually provide it. Sorry!

Do you have a laptop? You could use this website http://www.tvcatchup.com/ and plug your laptop into the TV

The Amazon Fire stick. - £35.

You can add a range of apps like iPlayer, fimOn. You can sideload Kodi onto it if you have a computer. This lets you get fims, TV series, Sky and BT.

Filmon isn't a direct download, but there is an easy way to install it. Or ask an IT savvy person to help you.

I want a stick to leave in the room here for mum so do not want one that incurs her any further charges..only want to get main channels plus itv2 5USA maybe really and pick...

[Gromit]

All the on-demand and live channels are on available apps on Amazon Firestick. You can expand on that if you want.

Does anyone know if firestick works outside of the UK?

[chelle7272]

From Amazon
ou can take your Amazon Fire TV device with you if you are moving or travelling to certain countries outside of the UK. Your Amazon Fire TV device will work in the following countries:

United States
United Kingdom (UK)
Germany
Austria (Fire TV Stick only)
Japan

In order to use your device outside of the UK, you need to change the Country Settings for your Amazon

Just to note that you can't always access live tv through iplayer / itv / c4 on the firestick, some programmes are not available live but will be on catch up

Do you mean buy one on (in my case) German Amazon?

By chance I have just found out that Now has a new box - the Now TV Smart Box. £40, it has 60 live Freeview channels and 15 HD channels, plus the apps that the other Now boxes have.
It will also pause and rewind live tv.

Please ignore my last post - it needs an aerial.
