Just flicking through the threads here ThunderPants, saw your good question..
here goes; how it works >
Just as a normal topset box you have outside connection most well know it as the
ariel socket (
freeview) or
sat connection (freesat) which carries the signals from the ariel/satellite to the digital top set box. The only thing is different on
IPTV Stb is the outside connection you use the internet instead in a form of a
ethernet connector/lead or
wireless device
There's many models & brands you can pick from, me myself I have WDTV live hard wired (connected) with cat 6 ethernet cable to my internet connection no more than that, same TV I had before using the AV port + cable provided, just another remote to add to my collection...I can say it all works quite well; while others have ruku, boxybox etc but they all do the same thing, you have to pick one that's right for you. STB 's like WDTV do have cracked firmware that you expand it use like other IPTV STB's
The whole bonus of this is you pick & choose where you want to watch the said programmes.... oh yes you can do all this TV licence free
The investment you put in getting all necessary equipment will pay itself of in the first year alone, just think what you can use the rest of that money on the rest of the years.....
I upgraded my connection speed with some of the change & still had some left over to play with.
Any questions at all ThunderPants73, I'll try to answer them best I can + happy to help out another in search of a sort after answer.
peace out

Oh great they've made themselves premade targets for throwing rotting food at them, if they dare to knock my door....hehe
I'd give the same advise too, there pure utter **** of the earth the lowest of the low beating the street...knocking doors for their £20.00 commission & they'll do anything for it from what I seen + saw.... many don't it doesn't happen? Just look at
Youtube for *tvl goon* then laugh at there actions.. I do with their lies & petty hopeless threats........ Their classic lines is
"if you don't tell me; I'll come back with a search warrant"
"We need the information to update our data base"
"it's the law, you need a TV licence if you have a TV"
BTW you don't need a TV licence for a computer, it's void under the 2003 ruling, the devil is in the detail.
Keep a camera at hand ready to record them in their acts
watch them run away.
Basic rules are NO CONTACT at all
No contacting them
No signing there 178 form
Not giving any details
Take no notice of there threat-o-letters - bin them
Finally they have no power to enforce anything, there just plain old sales people. Remember that & you'll be LLF for life
Have fun folks....
