Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 7448 Registered: Oct-07 | well i like one part of it ... that it has great collection of movies ...indian movies.. youtube videos... all dramas episodes...from all good channels pic quality is so so ... mine is jadoo 2 so its latest one.. for live streaming its similar to online streaming..free streaming though so not sure when they will shut down ...like others.... basically its good for backup..as a resource for u back up.. if i compare pic quality of jadoo tv and fta.. fta is 50% better.... well jadoo has some sports channels like geo super,espn ,and star sports..basically u don't miss ur sports.. but thing is again will it stay stable or will it be other door stopper.. i got jadoo 2 so it has wireles adapter i checked speed of my net its about 7 mbps so its most of time smooth ... some times it buffers too..some times some channels don't work.. + channel changin is not faster as u seen in fta boxes... as i mentioned its sort of enjoyable if u got family and wanted to watch some tv drama movie etc...where other channels are black out ... but this jadoo is no where legal as i read everywhere like i read about google tv... so i wonder when authorities can block ip adress if they want too... |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 7450 Registered: Oct-07 | i got shaw high speed net.. and jadoo2 tv came with that wireless adapter... so i connnect it wirelessly .. jadoo has way to check ur internet speed so my download speed is aroun d 7 mbps so its good and stable.. again i mentioned its a great box for recorded tv shows, movies .. for indo / pak content.....and quality is so so i was checking geo news on jadoo box and dreambox ..and u can see visible quality difference...so in other words it doesn't replace ur fta reciever..or ur cable box...because it doesn't have great list of english channels... basically it has library files of dramas episode,movies , tv shows .. which are 90% indo/pak |

Bronze Member Username: D3siPost Number: 20 Registered: Jan-08 | sada, please refer to this thread: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-video/660273.html i have it set up, i know that internet speed is not an issue, as my down.speed is 7mbps, however jadoo disconnects after 2 hours or so, and i have connected it wirelessly. When it disconnects, i get this error on screen "Check your broadband connection" whereas my internet is working fine 24/7 I have to do soft factory default on each disconnect to bring it back up. |

Silver Member Username: ChevroletPost Number: 272 Registered: Sep-10 | More Info. on jadoo TV Imran DarNew member Username: Idar21 Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-10 Posted on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 - 06:09 am: Hey Guys - I just bought Jadoo in UK for 200£. I read all these postings and was a bit sceptical. My Setup is 37" Hanspree LCD 1080 support. Virgin Cable internet 10 MBPS pipe; Hooked wired with the Jadoo box. After registering my Jadoo box. I turned it on using the HDMI cable and the initial screen was lush. It auto picked up my Tele resolution at 720 which i changed by going into the settings and set it up to 1080P. Now i basically bought it for watching cricket matches and some Pakistani news channels. The question regarding the quality of picture is main question here and i can confirm on my 37" lcd the picture on some channels were pixelated SD quality and a bit low then what i get on my sky box. BUT it is respectable and if you are willing to adjust its worth a deal. I had some streching issues also with picture as it wouldn't strech fully on my telly so i would guess on 32" the picture would look much better. Apart from these channels few looked really good similar to sky box. The other thing i would like to mention is although i had 10 Mbps connection as described by Virgin , its a shared pipe and the maximum i got out of it was 2.5 which was sufficent for Jadoo streaming. Coming to the other aspects of the box is the ability to play your own media through USB or a media server. I have some high Def movies on my external USB and after attaching it i played few of them; The box handled it nicely and the picture was crisp. So ther is an added advantage. The box also conatins few menus to play indian and pakistani shows/dramas etc but they are just linked to youtube and runs just fine. i can write a lot but the bottom line is its a worthy kit. If you are willing to spend some money and not too concious about picture quality then its a good deal. PS: I have just used it for a day so cant comment on the durability. I hope it will be helpful in making a decision. Imran |

Diamond Member Username: NydasPost Number: 20180 Registered: Jun-06 | sada: wireless connections are usually about 1 mbps. I have a 5.2 mbps service. On my desktop a file may download in 30 seconds, yet on a laptop in the kitchen using wirelesss download, takes about 2-3 minutes. If Jadoo has a direct ethernet connection, try using a whysical connection. You may find a lot of difference. |

Diamond Member Username: NydasPost Number: 20182 Registered: Jun-06 | sada: Look at the actual speeds in the wireless part of your modem. speed > 2mbps seconds with wireless are very uncommon. Your modem brings a 7 mbps speed to all devices that are physically connected bu not on the wireless part.http://compnetworking.about.com/od/internetaccessbestuses/f/cablespeed.htm |

Gold Member Username: Saqeeb9000Post Number: 7460 Registered: Oct-07 | yes .. ok i got what u mean... i was told by my isp lets say u got 21 mpbs speed and u are using 3 devices so each device will get about 7 mbps if u use all 3 togeathers.. i saw improvement in speed if i connect it directly with cable Nydas jadoo is like google tv but jadoo is for indian media only ... that's what i can see difference b.w jadoo vs google tv as some people are having problems with ISP example bell is blocking port...so its not good news for consumers |

Silver Member Username: KrishnPost Number: 348 Registered: Sep-06 | Nydas and Sada: It all depends on your connection. Theoritically G band is 54 Mbps and N band is 160 Mbps. I did a speed test on wireless using only G at my friends place who has 30 Mbps cable modem, speed test indicated downloads of 24 Mbps. The limiting factor is not wireless data transmission. It is the data rate of the service that you have from your ISP provider, which is often way below even the G band in most cases. Sada getting wireless download speeds of 7 Mbps is very likely. |
