SoxFan

I know someone that has Ilox upstairs and Telmex downstairs. Iptv works on firestick just fine with Telmex and nada with the Ilox. 100% this is Ilox. I suspect Ilox is throttling speed with iptv because they offer a tv service. Think you need to request a public ip.

I own 2 LGs and zero complaints. They work great.

Seemed normal this morning. I do feel robbed for what I paid for an ink cartridge though.

Derek recommended doing that when we purchased one from him.

Would've been easier if others had followed that advice.

Biggest problem I have found with a few Derek did was the stick was associated with his account and Amazon would not allow me to download needed programs. You may have to create an Amazon account and register the stick under your account.

Does this mean Telmex fiber coming to Riberas eventually?

You'll need a VPN and factor in your internet speed will be cut by half at best while using it.

SoxFan, can you explain what you mean by fixing the sticks? I also have one purchased from Derek. Thanks. 

Mostly it is removing and updating outdated apps.

Could be your apps need updating. I have fixed quite a few sticks that Derek sold. My advice is look up the apps on youtube. Many tutorials, it's not hard and no cost to you.

Just a guess here... Ilox offers streaming tv and likely has a deal w/ Netflix. Sounds like they are throttling any competition and also explains the starting out with a private ip. Guess count your blessings they aren't doing the data cap yet.

You need to buy an Amazon Firestick HD model.  If you have a "smart" tv you can install some of the services available from major providers.  

By HD model they mean buy the Fire Stick 4k. The cheaper priced fire stick (which gets sold a lot around here as" jail broken") is 5 or 6 year old tech.I am seeing lots of positive reviews of the new TiVo Stream 4k. It runs Android Tv like the Nvidia Shield does for $49.99.

Hey SoxFan, what model numbers are these receivers, 500s 600s or 800s?

The actual model number if it were a 600 series might be a 600 or 605 or 630 or something. The numbers change to show whether they can record one channel while you watch another, etc. or you can just watch one channel at a time

Thanks in advance for this information.

HDDSR 600

That is because you had one of Shaw's old  receivers. The 600 and above series worked and still work just great. I go north three times a year to Seattle and Vancouver Island. With Shaw I can watch home town stations from both Victoria and Seattle be I up north or down here, lakeside. I love it

I have the newish receivers (still have them if anyone wants to buy lol). Probably was a matter of repositioning the dish. I'm saving $100+ per month now and get the good ol' MeTv, Cozi or whatever I'm in the mood for. I'm good.

Directv go  streaming,  and DIrect TV are both available and legal in Mexico. No VPN needed 

Like Amazon prime Mexico or Netflix Mexico the  content is different than the content for other countries. 

Correct. Meant the US version of those apps.

How do you get TVO and Knowledge on Shaw? I used to get them, but that ended months ago. Am I missing something?

Yeah, when Shaw went all digital, I lost half my channels. Wasn't worth it to me so I went straight chord cutter.

I installed trial directv go, only english channel I see is CNN. Many american shows, but spanish is dubbed in. What am I missing?

 You need a VPN for legal streaming services from the US thus not on the up and up. You may as well save some money and pay for iptv. I have used Area-51 for 2 years and have no complaints. There is a guy on youtube that reviews iptv services... here is his link. Btw you'll need internet speed over 10 for most streaming to work well.

I'd just search youtube for Plex or do a google search for your issue. This is all anyone who is going to charge you will be doing anyways.

I got one of Derek not long before he passed. I guess if the box does not say 4k I must have the old one?

Easiest way to tell is by the logo on the remote and stick. The old stick says Amazon on it.

Can you explain why the 4K is necessary?  

The fire stick 4K is the latest tech and faster. The other fire stick is 5 year old tech. Both work. The 4K just works better and worth the extra money.

Good sources. I also like https://troypoint.com/ . Excellent presentation and easy to follow instructions.

I like TroyPoint. I would have included his youtube had youtube not taken his content down.

SoxFan would you be willing to share the name of the paid iptv that you are using? You can pm me if you prefer. Thanks.

I'm using Area 51 but it has a subscriber limit and is hard to get. This youtuber does iptv reviews and has a site. Here is his youtube channel.

CableKill

Plenty of youtubers with Firestick tutorials. I pay for an iptv that works great but there are a few freebies like TvTap. You really don't need a vpn for apps you sideload, just for official Firestick apps that only work in the US. Anyways here are a couple of good youtube channels with the good stuff.

Where do you get passport photo in Chapala or Ajijic?

I had my photos made at the new Farmacias Guadalajara at the new medical building between Riberas and San Antonio for 20 pesos. The Consulate accepted them.

There's no point even doing business with them without the option of iptv streaming. I've done concluded people living outside of Ajijic and a few fracs aren't going to get decent net. Not serving 90% of the local population makes sense.
