Would it surprise you to know, that I believe you?

For anyone using those boxes, and wondering why I "upgraded", it's because, the volume of TV that we (and my dad... omg) watch on them, we actually kill the boxes. The read-write in the box's internal cache is limited. So, I bought a recycled PC (reasonably low power), tossed Linux on it, and put Kodi on that. Wow does it function flawlessly. No more "buffering" (within reason, of course).

Boom! AP uncovered the name of the agent!

"The revelation comes as The Associated Press reported Friday that a Russian-American lobbyist named Rinat Akhmetshin said he also attended the June 2016 meeting with Donald Trump Jr. CNN has reached out to Akhmetshin for comment."

LOL oh man

We have a box hooked up to the main TV downstairs... BUT I really don't want to put one in the bedroom too.

SO, i have been watching the shows i need to on these websites...however one that was very reliable for YEARS now wants me to pay butt load of money to watch ( something like $90 for 12 shows/views...needless to say that's a NOPE)
I'm still looking for a reliable site to watch ....Bell wants to charge me another 20 bucks for HBO ( in some horrible package with a couple of other stations i wont use so i refuse to pay for)
Why don't i just watch them on the box downstairs? Because there's something about curling up in bed and watching them in the dark, in silence

We actually only have IPTV. The provider I am using presently is giving me access to Bell Fibe without me paying the ridiculous Fibe rate. $15/mnth for everything, including HBO. We have a box in the bedroom, because, movies...and I like to wake up slowly (usually the news is on for me to listen to).

Which site/show?

JEESH! All hopes gone now. Why such a delay?

Unclear to be honest. Most people from July and August 2015 took longer than Sept-Nov 2015 and even of some 2016 applicants... Also, my wife being from Iran, I can imagine that security checks might be longer. But honestly, everybody would like to have it done for the day before they submit their application, but very few have real significant negative impacts. We had to keep a private insurance a bit longer, she was not eligible for French courses offered by Quebec immigration, but she was living a normal life, doing her PhD, etc.
However those that lost status (sometimes for a little mistake, not by negligence) and that cannot work during the whole process or those that lost a family member but could not leave the country during the process,... those are the people really suffering from the longer delays.
It's no fun having to wait for several months and having no news at all, but we still can, and have to, enjoy everyday of our life.

Exactly our situation at the moment. I completely understand though. Thanks for sharing your experience

Who *doesn't* LOL! We subscribe to IPTV as well. $15/mnth and I can stream TV on any of my boxes.

I should learn about those things... still paying regular cable...

 

[browning911]

does he have his OHIP already? if not, don't forget to give them( Service Ont) his owp when you go ...i did that and the nice lady was able to shave off a week from the 3 months waiting period for him to get coverage

No OHIP yet. Had to wait three months after AIP so will come into effect 4 Aug 2017.

Guyana, thanks for the information, we will take it to Service Ontario,

It's pretty easy. Allow me: In simplest terms, the cable box (assuming you have "digital" cable) is known as a "Settop Box" (or, STB). That's just a simple, mini computer. So, with that in mind, android boxes (or even regular computers) can function as STB's. You just get an IPTV subscription (that permits access to getting services), and just like your cable box, it allows you to stream video over a network (in this case, the internet).

The android boxes that most have (and use Kodi -- a software platform that allows people to stream pre-recorded and live TV from the net) can happily function as STB's as well.

Questions?

I don't know if I really like it much. The only thing I watch on it is Vikings and I am still waiting for the last season.

Really? We use ours for everything, except for a few Russian series that my wife watches on her laptop.... You don't like GoT?
