    Yes and I've paid for premium apps, none can compare with the functionality of MYTVOnline 2 and a full remote.

    I love the 4k Firestick and IPTV works amazing on it.
    Done loads for friends etc.

    I am sure it works great for you but for me the Z8 Pro is just different class.
    £124 is quite pricey for a box but it really is a superior device.

    All down to personal choice, but if the budget exists then the likes of the Z8 Pro/ Nvidia Shield are simply a class above.

    Got the Z7+ form the sponsor a while back and was disappointed with not getting MyTVonline 2 from formula, hence saying either the new chromecast with Google TV and Tivimate will do the job, and will stay updated

    The Z7+ has never been spec'd for MYTVOnline 2, but still gets bug fixes and updates.

    Never said that MyOnlineTV 2 was supported on the Z7+ thats sort of my point in that they seem to be a company that don't put new features into old models but instead make you buy the new hardware So with the new GTV coming out I would not expect anything new on the Z8, dont get me wrong there will be bug fixes but no new features, at least that is what happened with the Z7 when the Z8 came out.

    they are a nice bit of kit, just that every year or 2 they bring out a new model with new features that do not get pasted on the older models. At least with Firesticks this is not the case.

    Same goes for E2 boxes my ET8500 is very old now but still has the lasest version on Vix on it.

    Not a valid point, sorry. So what about the Samsung smart fones, the iPhones etc, they release new models year after year. It’s life and, new chipsets get introduced year after year. Otherwise you’ll be at a standstill in life, how boring would that be!

    Why not? Z+ Neo, Z Alpha and Z8 have all been getting the same updates and new features.

    You could say the same about Apple, LG, Samsung.... the list could be endless. You say you have the latest ViX image on your ET8500, but when was the last driver update to fix any outstanding issues?

    You can't really compare the hardware of a Firestick to a Z8 etc... they're just not in the same league.

    Anyway you have you opinion, others have theirs and the op has enough info to make a decision
