El Toro Furioso Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Anyone out there use this service? How would you rate it? Any clearly better alternatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Just make sure you can get a demo to know that it won't buffer with your internet service. I had 4 different services before I found one that worked with ILOX without buffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Just because it doesn’t buffer today doesn’t mean it won’t tomorrow.. The people that sell you these boxes and service know what times of the day these boxes work the best and which TV channels to show you to make it appear that it works well.. I use an android box generally speaking it works, but I never know if show I want to watch will work. It takes work to keep the box running well, updating, clearing the cache memory and other little tricks you learn to use But it’s free, The people selling you the box will want to sell you a service for a monthly fee. If you look around you can get what they are selling for free or for small fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Is 'someone' local Lakeside selling/maintaining this "Black Box"? Next question is.... is it legal in all respects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firestick 4k has great performance compared to most Android boxes at a better price. You can program it easily withing 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevalerieleigh Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I've been using the black box sold and maintained by Donald Stordahl for many years. We have been very happy with the performance of the box and the tech support provided by Donald. Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanRoy Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 The "black box" advertised in the paper requires a monthly fee. I'm not into that. Instead, Rich Richie on this board offers tons of free TV and movie apps on a pre-programmed, technically reliable Firestick, one time cost of $2,000p. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Even less if you already own a Firestick.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 The boxes cost a lot less than 2000 peso on Amazon.. which is where they are purchased from.. Try and get the name and model # of the box then check the price on Amazon to how much extra you are being charged. Check out Filelinked to download the free apps..

BeanRoy Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 The price of a new Firestick is about $50 US, unless you get it on sale. That's $1,000 pesos. The other thousand pesos is for Rich's hard work and experience dealing with myriad numbers of apps that don't work or are flakey or have just disappeared, establishing proper links to robust servers that have been around long term. He's done all the work so that you don't have to. I personally think that's worth 50 bucks. He also spends an hour or two showing you how to navigate, which is really worth it to the technically unmotivated. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLU Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 If you don't know how to configure a streaming device, $50 to someone else to do the job for you is really CHEAP! Ten years ago, when there were few who knew how to do this stuff, I paid $350! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevalerieleigh Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Absolutely, I'll send you a P.M. I know his cell phone is on the fritz but his email works just fine. He's working on replacing his phone now. LOL, I ran into him at TelCel yesterday. Cheers, Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
