i am also confused hii maneno ya fibre... i have zuku (15m + premium Tv)= 5k a month. Safaricom wameleta fibre seems cheap though no tv. Which is the best between safcom home fibre na zuku. Zuku has been great for me over 3 years few let downs but worth it. I work so I can afford the amount of alcohol required to continue going to work

The fibre guys normally put their own wifi router when they connect you so you dont need to buy one, unless you want to increase signal coverage. I have a TP Link wireless N router that I bought hapo karibu Jamia mosque though cant remember building name. There are many many shops selling routers there. Buy a "wireless N router" since it has a stronger signal and higher speed. I bought mine to increase range of the zuku fibre one since signal was weak in some rooms upstairs.

I use my laptop connected to the tv via HDMI to stream Youtube a lot, Today I stumble on http://hdmovie2k.co/ it's like piratebay but for streaming movies you don't have to download, there is a free registration , but if don't mind the frequent pop to get you to register then go on, but just open an email account for these sort of registration and you are good To Each His Own

Safaricom fibre is now available in our area and am now torn between buying the android Tv box and the fire stick. The prices on Olx vary greatly with some gadgets going for over 20K! Would appreciate advice on this. Truth forever on the scaffold

Would appreciate advice on this. Buy the Amazon fire stick. Avoid the Chinese boxes. I had one whose remote got messed after 4 weeks of use. The Amazon fire stick quality and user interface is good, no issues so far. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

I see the apps are available on it, but not sure if Local setting allows these applications which are typically not available for Kenya yet. On a PC, people would typically use VPN's so i'm curious about how the stick would handle such apps.

Zuku has been great for me over 3 years few let downs but worth it.
Decided to install the two. Whoever runs an Offer is the one who gets my money for the month. :) So I keep one unpaid for a month depending on my experience. Zuku have now doubled speeds for same costs and really trying to keep their customers.. I miss out on Local TV when I am on Safaricom, but i'm not big on that..so I tend to survive with actual streaming of the channels from TV browser.

On a PC, people would typically use VPN's so i'm curious about how the stick would handle such apps. So far I have done Kodi & Netflix only. Last I checked Pandora & Spotify were blocked due to geo restrictions. I know you can put some VPN proxy software but I havent explored how to do it.

Been using an MXQ android box for a year now using Safaricom fibre. I have the Pulse build on my Kodi, wonderful. There's a very good user support group on facebook - kodi uk.tv general support and community group where you can ask anything about these boxes and get responses. I have learnt a lot and I'm no longer frustrated using the box. For HD Live games, I have been using the NMJ app, extra time link. Mostly BT Sports. Sports Devil gives poor quality links. BEER IS LIVING PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY!

Whats your experience with the MXQ box? Found it a little user unfriendly and my remote got messed. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.
