Mark Berkowitz Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 How about getting a Roku Box or a Roku TV, so you can watch many different English speaking content channels with Direct TV's streaming service? DirecTV Now service, which offers live TV channels streaming over the internet starting at $35 per month, is now available on Roku devices. Owners ofRoku boxes, sticks and TVs can download the DirecTVNow app in Roku's channel store starting today. New subscribers can get a month free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 If you’ve got reasonable speed internet (even 3mbps is enough) then you can stream Netflix, satellite TV is available but a lot of the content is in Filipino with only a smaller number of English language channels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Mike J Posted June 24, 2019 Forum Support Posted June 24, 2019 I love living away from the city, but fast internet is still a dream. It often feels like the "dial up" days from 15 or so years ago, but without the screech noise coming from a modem. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Mike J Posted June 24, 2019 Forum Support Posted June 24, 2019 Jack and VirginPrune - it is not nice to laugh at my misfortune. And in case you were wondering, that really is a current screen shot taken this morning. I love it here but man does the internet ever SUCK! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatuk2014 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Be vary careful when buying a signal booster ! I bought a wifi extender for the sister for 350 pesos on lazeda which is now being advertised as though its a signal booster which it is not ! Netflix for the price of 460 pesos which is what i pay a month is a bargain ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 MikeJ what are you using for internet? If it’s Globe@home wireless then I’d be look8ng at your signal strength. Sticking an outside receiver box on a pole and getting it up in the air can turn a really slow connection int9 a usable one. It took the connection a5 th3 &ly house in Ozamiz from about your speed to one varying between 1 and 3 Mbps. Still not great but at least it’s usable for SD video streaming now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimeve Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 Why not download some movies/TV series when you're home with a fast internet connection. Then when you're in the jungle hut enjoy what you have downloaded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
