Bronze Member Username: Shredd3rTORONTO Post Number: 93 Registered: Mar-09 | My friend says that a Jadoo TV box works off the internet and will never cut off, ever. She said that she gets all the good movie and TV channels that you get with k-box n-fusion and all that chit. I don't know much more than that but i figured it would be worth a thread considering that no one wants to buy another box that will probably just cut out and screw you again like the others. I'll try to find the channel list and post them here. |
Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 5920 Registered: Oct-07 | yes jadoo will be option, i am not sure how do they get channels off for example i saw the video that they were showing geo tv , do they get subcription or what it says vod channels, does one have to pay for those channels or not? lets say u don't wanna use tv can u use computer only and connect the box or u must need to use tv.. speed is also concern what is minimum? good thing is that if u miss ur favorite shows u can use youtube and other mediasites and play it from there. channels list would be fine, if u can ask ur freind about sports channels and if there are any channels availalbe from uk eg sky sports etc thanks seemore |
Bronze Member Username: Shredd3rTORONTO Post Number: 94 Registered: Mar-09 | I just found this link to an older tread from February. https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/551917.html I don't know much of anything about this. I did hear a rumor on another forum that said it constantly has to buffer the channels. He also said the picture quality wasn't the best either. But Jadoo tv has HD boxes too, so that may improve the pic quality. I just hope people add to this tread considering there was a tread for this already. |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16054 Registered: Jun-06 | jadoo TV is streaming video like any other Internet TV, except that you have a special box for buffering and changing channels, so your computer CPU is not occupied, and in fact, you do not need the computer on. It works by Internet streaming video originating in Dubai or somewhere offshore, so there are no real legal issues for the average user. It will work good if your Broadband connection is 4 mb or better. |
Bronze Member Username: Kickboxer1stPost Number: 23 Registered: Oct-08 | My cousin has one so I can speak on his behalf. They actually now have a server somewhere that they use to stream channels now. In the past they would use sites like Idesitv and stream off of them but now For example channels like Ten Sports, Geo sports, Masala tv and AVT khyber are prime examples, Those channels are impossible to find online and view but Jadoo tv gets them on their box so that person has a server set up somewhere maybe in Dubai or in Europe. Recently according to my cousin no more geo channel but they replaced that one with Aaj tv. Quality varies from channel to channel but you need a router hooked to it all the time. Hope that helps somewhat. |

Bronze Member Username: Shredd3rTORONTO Post Number: 96 Registered: Mar-09 | Worst line up EVER! Two thumbs down. Thanks for the info. Just what I was asking for. |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16068 Registered: Jun-06 | GM Silver Member Thanks for the channel listing of Jadoo TV. Am I right in saying that for $200 you can buy a jadoo box and you do not have to pay monthly charges? I just want to confirm this from you that there has not been any policy change requiring monthly subscription. |
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 10890 Registered: Jan-08 | GM All those channels are available for free without any receiver. Is the picture quality is good enough? ![]() |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16069 Registered: Jun-06 | Plymouth: The main advantage of Jadoo TV is that it is not connected to your Computer. It is Internet to router to jadoo box to TV. It does not tie up your computer. I was told that you really need a 4MB connection for good reception. It is after all a streaming video, so it should work. |
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 10892 Registered: Jan-08 | Nalin A 4Mbites can blow your maximum download allocated per months. A have a real 7.3 Mbites, but 30 Gig maximum download per months, the additional Gig can cost me more than a Sub. ![]() |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16070 Registered: Jun-06 | The speed of download 4mb/sec is different for total download allowed per month. Whether you have 1mb/sec download or 4mb/sec download, the total usage i.e total download per month will be based on your TV viewing per month. What will be different is the lack of freezing if you have high speed connection. Coming back to the issue, Jadoo site says you need a 1mb/sec connection. I however think 1mb speed would be too slow and a 3-4 mb/sec is likely to be good and freezing free TV. If any of the members have Jadoo TV and are using a 1mb/sec link, I would like to know what their experience is in terms of quality of reception and freezing. |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16071 Registered: Jun-06 | Plymouth: I have a connection with 3 MB speed and 50GB/month quota. It is called Bell MAX 12 but because of the location I only get a speed of 3 mb or so. If necessary I can upgrade to MAX 16, and although it says it is "Up to 16 Mbps", in reality I will still get 3 Mbps, but will get 75 GB/month downloads. Look at http://bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpInt_NewAccess.page?userType=NEW |
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 10894 Registered: Jan-08 | Nalin Try this link and check the real speed of your internet because when I was With Bell the speed was never real. http://pcpitstop.com/internet/bw.asp ![]() |
Silver Member Username: AsploverPost Number: 150 Registered: Jun-06 | I was with Bell and than decided to leave it for TekSavvy which is lot better than Bell. It is DSL , so its using Bell line but giving more speed. Right now i am getting 5 Meg speed with 200 GB download limit and i do heck of downloading and streaming ![]() |
Platinum Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 10895 Registered: Jan-08 | asp lover When I was with Bell, I took 6.2 Mb and with the new it was same thing, but now I get 7.3 Mb after 3 months. ![]() |
Silver Member Username: AsploverPost Number: 151 Registered: Jun-06 | But bell doesn't have bigger download limit which is a big problem for people who do lots of downloading or streaming |
Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 16072 Registered: Jun-06 | I tested my speed with your software. The US servers and the LONDON-UK server - all came through at over 5Mb/sec download and 600-800 KB/sec upload. |
