My private network at home

  For those who read my threads and reviews generally know that I am very satisfied with the Zidoo boxes and can also read other threads of people who do not have good results and even sell their box because they are not able to see a single movie without having a problem... I also regularly see on forums or social networks people wondering if their network/NAS setup will work with a Zidoo device regardless of the model... but there are many factors come into play that one person's experience will not be the same as another even if they had the same equipment. I decided to add to my threads dedicated to Zidoo devices a section that will show my network setup and equipment. this's my experience for what it's worth... ------------- I am on Bell Canada with a Gigabit Fibe package. ------------- Here is the model of ethernet cables that I use with my installation, I have different length of cable of course. ------------- Here is a representation of my network installation -----

Streaming video services applications with a Zidoo Devices

A reminder to potential Zidoo device buyers and avoid a disappointment. Zidoo devices are designed for local content and not online streaming and they do not have agreements in place with streaming providers. If you want to stream from sources like Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Disney+ etc..., an Android TV devices or native TV applications will be a better choice. So i repeat, don't buy a Zidoo device hoping to use it with streaming video services applications. On the other hand, if you are looking for a media player to enjoy your movie collection using your NAS or external hard drives, a Zidoo device may be a good choice. See you
