Hi, I have borrowed from the uk an MX android box; onto which is loaded "Filmon". The picture quality is not terribly good but its free

so cant grumble. Has anyone subscribed to their HD and noticed an improvement in picture quality.

I dont know if that would help but if i was you i would try loading up xbmc and xbmc hub - this would give you all sort of chanels - in the uk the quality is good but it may depend on your internet connection which is generally poorer in Spain.

Hi Nigela, thanks for that. Having checked the menu on the box it would appear that xbmc is already loaded. From what you say the poor picture quality could be down to telefonicas slow internet speed.

I would try running xbmc going into video add ons and run ice films . Go into movies and check the quality - you should have hd and dvd sources to choose from. The hd will be better quality but you will probably get a lot of freezing on these. If you check several different movies you should get an idea of the quslity you can obtain.

You may find when you go into xbmc first the add on take a while to update - if you keep getting messages about add ons being updated just leave the box to update for 15 minutes.

Once you have looked at ice films go into navi x and look atvwhat that offers and if you are into sports try out sportsdevil. Another good addon is 1 channel.

INTERNET IN SPAIN NEAR TO COLLAPSE IN SOME EXPAT AREAS
Reports have been arriving of significant problems with internet speeds following Telfónica's relaunch of its Movistar Fusión product on 6th. March. Fusión packages include mobile, fixed line rental, ADSL or fibre internet and television services over the internet, including Canal+ channels.
Telefónica was reported as being close to acquiring a controlling stake in loss-making Canal+, but decided to remain a minority shareholder. There had been calls for the purchase to be investigated by the European Commission.
Canal+ losses have increased in the past year to EUR 648.7 million.
In the cities, Movistar has a fast fibre optic network, but in other areas relies on regular copper wires. Increased demand for internet TV following the BBC switch, combined with extra numbers of Fusión subscribers has led to near-collapse of internet speeds in large urbanisations and rural populations, which rely on ageing copper ADSL infrastructure.
It's not just Telefónica's subscribers who have been suffering slower internet, companies which share the same trunk cables and cabinets, such as Orange, Telitec aand Jazztel have also been affected.
