​You'll go blind.

No hdmi 2. I almost purchased.

Plus £5 voucher

£5 voucher back too from tomorrow

same price at curry's and already posted :smiley:

Thanks for posting,can use my love2shop vouchers in there

Hi Can someone please help, 4 days ago I picked up Fire tv stick, can I return that and pick this one up?

This better than a M8s plus?

Brilliant Thanks

Hdmi only relevant for 4k at higher than 30 frames per second. Sadly 4k is the only reason I want the box as I wanted to try amazon prime 4k as my TV doesn't have prime.

No hdmi 2.0 is a deal breaker for me, but still a deal. Hot

ive reserved mine, thanks

HDMI 2.0 is not needed on a TV box. 4K movies/TV's shows are filmed at 24fps, HDMI 1.4 can manage that no problem.

The only time you would need HDMI 2.0 is for 4K gaming so you can achieve 60fps. Something this box will never be capable of doing.

been waiting for Argos to price match, had some vouchers burning a hole in my pocket!

I have the 1st gen box and no 4K tv. Is this a significant upgrade from the original box performance wise?

interesting... this can be had even cheaper using cashback, gift cards from other posted deals

As a NowTV and Prime subscriber i'm torn, neither offers the others services as an option and by extension that means ROKU as well. I know the FireTV is based on android and I can see at least some progress on the NowTV app working on the FireTV but something windows based sadly still looks like the best option to do 'everything'.

Can I watch 4K porn on this?

how would this compare to something like this ?

If you want it for Kodi there are much better solutions for similar money, otherwise it's a good deal.

​would like to know this too and also one that has a remote with it. need an upgrade from my fire tv stick since it keeps droppings out randomly when watching movies/shows.

MX III is a good box, I got sent one out to test and review yesterday, running well so far

WetekPlay running kodi.

I'd personally get one with a twin Satellite tuner for the extra £15-20 these can be had for around £65 without a tuner or £80ish with, that way all you need is a USB HDD then you have a Freesat PVR!

Typical I bought this on Sunday from John Lewis! Do you know if they will honour me this price now?

Can you give a link for these?

Official Can also get them from eBay, Amazon etc.

Wow JL are great! They've already refunded me £15!

why not keep it for use on second tv in kitchen or bedroom

Interesting, your link talkes you to the twin tuner version for only Euro89.99, roughly £64.Bargain!! You should post this!
So this box can run kodi and also connect to my sky dish?? What does it connect to on the dish, Freesat??

Who said that???

Yes it will give you Kodi with integrated freesat with full 7 day EPG add a HDD and it will record 2 channels at once.

Thank you, good info. Was looking to replace my M8 box with the Fire HD, but now i know about this box. Cant see any specs as to whats inside, any pointers please?

Couple of screenshots of mine.

Even better!

Thanks

Thank you!

Orribleharry, what version of Kodi is that or is it a different layout for openelec??

Wetek Play, although Live TV can be achieved on any box with access to a tuner.

Thanks for that, they look great. However why would you say this is better for kodi, putting the option of recording from a tuner to one side for a minute?

It natively supports OpenELEC so can be made to boot it as an OS, it's also rock solid stable (they are the official sponsor of OpenELEC), whereas a FireTV can only be fudged to run the Android version of Kodi.

My original post was IF you were intending buying a FireTV to run Kodi then the Wetek is a better choice.

Don't get me wrong the FireTV are decent (i have one).

I finally got around to figuring out what kodi is all about the last two or three nights. I did a little research a couple of months ago but only touched on it. Its an interesting programme. hardly had enough time to go on the internet. Got it set up on my LG G4 to start with after watching a few tutorials on youtube.

I was thinking of buying an Amazon Fire Stick and then I see they do a fire tv box and now you recommend something else. Not sure what to get now lol. I am quite happy with things so far and was thinking about getting the stick first to see how we get on and then upgrade it as my guess is as soon as the wife see what it does she will want it in the bedroom (kodi options) and don't have anywhere I can put the box.

On the Wetek box I just wondered if you have an epg on it. I am using the Ivue one at the minute but just wondered if there was anything else.

Yes a full 7 day epg.

There's 10% cashback on Argos purchases up to £250 if you have a Nationwide Visa card and have it registered for their Simply Rewards scheme. So £6.50 back and a £5 Argos voucher - not a bad deal.

I dont need the tuner as its for the bedroom and my satellite dish is connected to the living room tv. This would only be used for kodi mostly so performance wise how does the fire tv and wetek compare? Also does it support ntfs? Can android apps be installed or not? I was close to buying the fire tv until i saw your post:{


Hardware wise wetek seems to have weaker specs compared to fire tv?

What are you buying it to do primarily?

For Kodi to Watch shows, movies and live sports. I currently have a fire stick and that jumps out of films/shows spontaneously as well as not working at times. My plan was to enable zero cache setting and put my 128gb micro sd card so kodi runs off it and effectively should stop the issues I was facing with the fire tv stick. Also would like to use a torrent app (currently use flud from playstore) whenever I do want to download something.

The usual live TV I don't need other than watching sports.

Kodi is much more stable on the Wetek.
You can get the wetek without a tuner.

Seems the official website is similar price to the fire tv with the tuner included. Can't find a better price without the tuner so I may as well get it included I guess

Yeah there is no sense in not getting the tuner if it's basically free. Gives you the option to get LiveTV at a later date.

Yes it does work with the built in live TV, you just enable TVHeadEnd and the associated TVHeadEnd PVR client add-ons, you can then enable Live TV within Kodi. It's fairly easy to set up you just have to scan for channels, there are plenty forums etc to help.

Expire this price gone up
