IndoSAT for US sports?

ronb wroteWell to answer on Internet speeds, if no VPN is needed then we get 8 or 9 megabit download speeds which is plenty fast enough. We are currently paying for the 10 megabit Indihome service, and could increase it to 20 megabit if there seemed to be a need. To get access to Aussie and US content I tried a VPN called NordVPN and it greatly reduces download speed to maybe only 1 or 2 megabit and streaming TV becomes a problem. So basically it is a waste of time and money and I am reluctant to try other VPNs without first hearing from other users that the download speeds are OK. Do you need to use VPNs to get your content and are you paying for some of the channels that you show?

You don't need VPN. just plug into modem Ethernet then to TV through HDMI. There is no paying its just like streaming on your pc. These apps just organize and find the programs then you choose your source like vidto etc Here is a pic just taken of Kodi app calld exodus it sorts the latest movies just scroll down for lots more and lots of pages Just watching one right now released in feb 16.Also programs like Game of Throne swill be watchable the day after release You can also use an android app called [B]putlocker.is[/B] to stream from an android phone or tablet and airplay it or watch on your device [ATTACH]2704.vB[/ATTACH]

Not sure why you are all so impatient to get the US stuff? If you wait 2 or 3 days it usually all turns up on torrents for download. Since clearly getting around the law isn't your main concern...

Downloading torrents can create problems here . However streaming is fine as you are not sharing or storing it on a hard drive. US Netflix content is about 5 times the size of Australia's. The new stuff can be watched about a day after showing in US by streaming

ronb wroteYes I have used various DNS servers. But they are not the answer. If I am in Indonesia and try to access the Australian ABC Iview, it says something like "this service is only available for people in Australia". Use a VPN that make you look like you are in Australia and you can use Iview, but if the VPN is throttling your speed too much the result is no good. But with some providers like Netflix, if you use a VPN to access content available in the US, they are likely to say something like "it looks like you are using a VPN so piss-off" - just paraphrasing. So VPNs, even if fast enough are not a foolproof way of getting around these location limitations. Anyhow, you have stirred my interest and I will keep exploring.

No.Idea has just boasted ,I mean posted on Facebook that he just got something installed by a mate yesterday and he now gets every sports channel in the world as well as latest movies etc. He reckons he is the only one in Bali. I never perceived him as a trend setter but I may be wrong. I suspect that its an android TV box, but who knows it could be something else, perhaps he could enlighten everyone

Downloading the torrents using a VPN (nobody knows, much) is not legally different than accessing Netflix from the US and considerably easier.

Markit

Using a DNS on your router is easy. Well apart from Netflix now blocking the usual DNS and VPNs.

Geedee, my friend, your use of DNS is driving me slowly, but surely, mad. Please see the explanation of DNS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System You clearly mean something else but I'm not sure what?

Netflix are getting aggressive and I have been off US content 3 times in the last 2 months,. My service UNBLOCK has got round it a couple of times but its only Australian content this month. I thought Netflix couldn't win this but I seem to be wrong. Support for my DNS service are now taking a week to respond so they are obviously struggling and keep saying we have made changes to your account but still cant get the US content. I will do free trial on a few other services like Uflix and Getflix and if it works only sign up for a month at a time.

Using a DNS on your router is easy. You just go to Netflix and its USA version. No work at all. Well apart from Netflix now blocking the usual DNS and VPNs. Torrents are more stuffing about and your isp can still know what your downloading and can be forced to reveal. Its not illegal to access Netflix US content as your account goes with you anywhere in the world. Netflix actually don't mind you watching any content its good for business its the TV Channels ,Film Distibutors etc who have the licensees and deals with the content makers for different countries. Netflix under pressure from these people.

Markit my favorite expat glad to be of assistance in driving you mad and to be doing it slowly makes it even sweeter. Your link was too long and too many big words for me I'm just a normal guy. This is what i was meaning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_DNS_proxy_server

Markit wroteI give up! DNS is a naming agreement - all the world agrees to call "Paul's butthole" Pie for short.

Getting close, but it is - all the world agrees that "Paul's butthole" will befound at the IP address 101.202.303.404. So you give a DNS server a name and it returns an IP number (if the name is in the world-wide database).

DNS Proxy (which you mean) is something completethefeck different - see below (don't want to be a knowitall but Wiki make it impossible not to be):

Thanks for this. I had been looking at Geedee's references to DNS and was mystified. You have clarified it.

I give up! DNS is a naming agreement - all the world agrees to call "Paul's butthole" Pie for short. DNS Proxy (which you mean) is something completethefeck different - see below (don't want to be a knowitall but Wiki make it impossible not to be): A smart DNS proxy server is primarily used [COLOR=#ff0000]to unblock blocked content [/COLOR] from websites which contain region-restricted content (e.g. netflix.com). A smart DNS proxy server differs from an ordinary proxy server because it does not need to change a user's IP address in order for that user to stream, download or access region-blocked content. Only the relevant information needed for a user to view the digital media content is sent via the smart DNS proxy server network. The only information which needs to be transferred is that which relates to a user's geographical location. This data gets re-routed via an actual computer server set up by the smart DNS proxy server service provider which is located within the region which is permitted for viewing the region-blocked content. [h=2][COLOR=#ff0000]Dangers of use[/COLOR][/h] The dangers of using an [COLOR=#ff0000]unknown IP address [/COLOR]as a DNS recursor are similar to any other rogue DNS server performing DNS hijacking in that the user is not aware which parts of his traffic are redirected and intercepted. In addition, the proxy servers themselves are in a position to perform man-in-the-middle attacks on any traffic passed through them. For this reason it is quite common to [COLOR=#ff0000]install a second router[/COLOR] in the house specifically for media streaming. It aint "MARY FECKING POPINS ****E!" Torrents seem less of a danger to this poor soul?!

ronb wroteThis discussion of Android TV has got my interest, so I have been reading up. Could be the way to go.

NO.Idea has now got an android box and is watching sports with mates. He has mentioned on facebook , also i think he is using it with wifi and if so then the speed in Bali is obviously enough to use this box. Perhaps he should post how its working and if it buffers etc. You guys should get one if it works well it would save you a lot and get any sport TV show or latest movies FREE. Except Markit of course who doesn't really get internet in the Jungle

ronb wroteI am planning to get one from Lazada and will review my experience in a few weeks. Concerning Internet download speeds required here are some recommendations copied from Netflix So the basic Indihome (10 Megabits) seems fine for HD (720p or 1080p I think)), but not for Ultra-HD. There is some Ultra-HD content available from YouTube and Netflix - but not very much.

The box will give you the option of different sources in HD Sd etc

Ask NO.Idea he has had an android box for about a week

Markit

You guys are just cruel! Calling me an asshole I can easily deal with but talking about 10mbs download speeds is just plain cruel. Oh, Ron I've listed your telephone number with Reddit, Tinder and Tumblr under "Guy looking for big ones" so expect some calls. :disgust:

Its free just like finding the latest episodes or movies on line all the box does is sort and find the movies etc on the net and streams them. The apps makes it easy to find Kodi is the software and people make add ons which easily catalogue and know the links to the movies tv etc which other net users and sites put up. This will give you an idea of what you see etc M8S Android 4 4 Jailbroken Quad Core Smart TV BOX Latest Kodi XBMC Fully Loaded | eBay https://kodi.tv/about/

Okay kids, here is the up to date information. The box is working very well. I am not really into TV that much because I have a real life annoying the **** out of people face to face. However I have hooked into various sports and news in Oz, the news in New Zealand, a TV show called Chaser from England (a bloody pommie mate wanted to watch that crap). The American Football League is also there. I can also access about 10,000 recent movies. Another mate had to tell me they were recent releases because the last time I watched a movie was at a drive in. There are other movies that would interest a tosser like Markit when he is in the jungle all alone. The internet speed where it is situated is 10 Mbps. This is via Indihome. My staff have found a music channel with some film clips. There are also radio channels from around the world. I have no idea what the box is actually called because I have been a tad remiss with my Chinese language studies. It cost 2,500,000 and that is a once off payment. There are constant uploads of new movies. The western guys behind it are based in Thailand and are happy to fly down with a few boxes at regular intervals. Obviously if a person needed a particular set of programs installed the guys could also do that before bringing it to Bali. It is controlled with a mouse in the same way a computer is used. If you want to check it out give me a call and we can go to Siti's Garden Bar on Jalan Betngandang in Sanur. You can dabble with the controls while I drink beer. My phone number is +628124139569. If it is what you want I will put you in direct contact with the guys who provide them. Cheers Ron.

Yours is controlled by a mouse only? Mine has a normal remote or can be controlled by mini keyboard and mouse pad. 2,500,000 seems very expensive however not seeing it and knowing the specs it could be right plus they are installing it for you. As for Markit he is not alone in the Jungle its just that no one speaks or listens to him.
