depends what you mean by jailbreak?
the developer options can still be enabled so you can still turn on 'install from unknown sources' and install apps from (eg) via downloader. I did this 2 weeks ago on a new 4k max stick

I’ve always used Downloader for 3rd party apps. But there are plenty of cheap iptv packages that cover just about everything.
One app I would recommend, though, is Cinema - Netflix for nothing!

This is what I have just bought - how is the quality of the IPTV streams (I’ve got a 75” screen with a Denon AVR 4K upscaler so even if they are a bit blurred it comes through sharp |

I pay £60 a year for everything apart from Netflix.
Very seldom drops out and just change your page and it's working again.
Watched the pay offs this week and the champions league I don't mind £60 for the year considering my old sky subscription for everything was over £100 a month

4k amazon thing. Came loaded for £110 then £60 each year after. The only downside is I've got some for mates whose home broadband isn't very powerful and they say it buffers a fair bit. We have super quick broadband and ours works fine. |

Be aware that buffering is not always a sign of a poor broadband speed but also the speed of the servers which can be erratic to say the least with things like IPTV, very hit and miss. The buffering due to insufficient broadband speed is probably only accountable for 25% of the buffering issues, often its the IPTV providers themselves that cause many issues by not allowing enough capacity on their own servers. |

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

I bought the 4K max version as I have ORBI 6 wifi through and a 1000mb internet connection so it will be interesting to see if buffering occurs 👍 |

Cheers Lou wasn't sure if the cheaper versions did the job but £110 loaded is a fair price |

Is £60 the standard price to get uploaded? |
