Embora o aumento seja, para já, exclusivo ao mercado não-residencial, deverá também vir a afectar o consumidor final.
O acordo milionário assinado entre a NOS – que detém 50% da Sport TV – e o Benfica está prestes a ter reflexos no preço da subscrição do canal de desporto, já a partir de 1 de janeiro.O atual preço de 26,79 euros aumenta, para já, apenas para as empresas e hotelaria que, segundo o Tek, foram, inclusive, já notificados de que a subscrição passará a custar 50 euros por mês.Embora o aumento seja exclusivo a clientes do mercado não-residencial, a fatura do consumidor final deverá, também, ser revista brevemente, embora não seja, ainda, conhecido qual o valor.fonte
"IPTV Stalker" is going to stop working.
A New information has arrived.
"The server is going to be implementing username/password (your donation number) authentication very soon. This means IPTV stalker is going to stop working as it appears it is no longer being updated.. pvr.stalker and pvr.stalker.nfps are ready for this change.
I also suggest updating to kodi 16.. it is still in beta, and buggy, but its going to be out of beta fairly soon i think, looking at their previous releases track records.. I am not sure if pvr.stalker.nfps will be updated for kodi 15, time to move forward i say, but thats up to dvbken ultimately..
You will be able to get the new version of pvr.stalker.nfps directly form http://epg.ninja . The new version is not out yet, but you can get the current version and set it up to get yourself going. once the new version drops you will merely need to upgrade to it, the donation field is already in the current version so you shoudlnt have to change any settings when that day comes.
Yes you can also keep using pvr.stalker that is included with Kodi as well as it already has username/password authentication, pvr.stalker.nfps just makes setup much easier."

This is why your Amazon Fire TV USB port is not working
By far, the most common question I’m asked is: Why isn’t my Fire TV’s USB port working? Hopefully people having this issue will find this post when searching for a solution. The most likely reason for the Fire TV to not recognizing a FAT32 USB drive, mouse, keyboard, or wired USB game controller is having “USB Debugging” enabled. In the Fire TV’s settings menu, if you scroll to the right to “System” and then down to “Developer Options” you’ll find an option called “USB debugging.” If that option is turned on, the USB port cannot be used with USB drives or peripherals. Turn it off and your USB port will start working again. To learn more about the Fire TV’s different developer options, see this post.

Understanding the Amazon Fire TV’s various Developer Options
The Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick have three options you can turn on or off in a menu labeled “Developer options.” Those three options are “ADB debugging”, “USB debugging”, and “Apps from Unknown Sources.” Even if you’re not a developer, there are situations where it’s handy to have some of these options enabled. Other times, having these options turned on can cause issues. Here’s an explanation of what each developer option does, when it should be turned on, and when it’s best to leave it off.
The “Developer options” menu is located in the Fire TV and Fire TV Stick’s “Settings” menu under the “System” section.
“ADB debugging”
This option allows your Fire TV to accept connections through the Android Developer Bridge. I won’t go into too much detail about it, but the Android Developer Bridge, or ADB for short, is a powerful utility that allows someone to remotely perform actions on the Fire TV. With ADB debugging turned on, one can connect to the Fire TV and do many different things like installing an app or controlling the device remotely. Some apps need ADB debugging turned on, like FireStarter, for them to function correctly because they use ADB to communicate with the Fire TV.
While using your Fire TV from your home network, it’s safe to keep ADB debugging turned on all the time if you find yourself needing to use it often. It’s only when connecting your Fire TV to a public network, like in a hotel or school campus, that leaving ADB debugging turned on could be a security issue. With ADB debugging turned on, a malicious individual just needs to be on the same network and know (or guess) your Fire TV’s IP address to gain control of the device. For the most part, it’s best to turn ADB debugging off when traveling with your Fire TV and fine to leave it on when using the device at home. Just understand that ADB connections are very powerful and can ruin a device if the wrong commands are used, so be sure you’re following a trustworthy guide if you’re running ADB commands that you’re unfamiliar with.
“USB debugging”
Enabling this option allows you to use a USB cable to make a wired ADB connection to your Fire TV. ADB connections, as discussed in the previous section, are normally done over the network without the need to physically connect to the device. To create a wired ADB connection, you will need an A-to-A USB cable to do this with the Fire TV, but can use the included micro USB charging cable to do it with a Fire TV Stick. The “USB debugging” option only becomes available once you turn on the “ADB debugging” option. Enabling USB debugging is not more secure than just enabling ADB debugging because, with USB debugging turned on, one can still connect to the Fire TV over the network. All ADB commands possible over the network are equally as possible over a USB cable.
The most important thing to remember when turning USB debugging on is that it prevents the Fire TV’s USB port from working with USB drives and USB peripherals like mice, keyboards, and game controllers. Readers often email me asking for help because their Fire TV USB port “does not work with anything,” and it’s always because they forgot that they enabled USB debugging. Using ADB over USB instead of through the network is handy if you have a poor network connection or want to transfer large files from a PC to the Fire TV via ADB. File transfers to the Fire TV over a USB cable are often much faster than ones over the network. Just remember to turn USB debugging back off after using it or you may find yourself scratching your head as you try to figure out why your USB device no longer works with your Fire TV.
“Apps from Unknown Sources”
This option simply allows apps already installed on your Fire TV to install apps. This option does not need to be enabled for you to sideload apps via ADB. The most common scenario for needing this option turned on is if you’re sideloading apps with a file browser like ES File Explorer or Total Commander. You will also want to enable this option if you are using an alternate appstore, like Google Play, otherwise the appstore will not be able to install apps on the device.
Anytime an app tries to install an app, the Fire TV will always prompt you to explicitly approve the installation, so there’s not much of a security concern with always leaving this enabled. That is, as long as the person using the Fire TV isn’t the type to approve a prompt without understanding what it’s doing. So if you often use apps to install other apps, you can leave this on for convenience, but if your Fire TV is used by kids or less tech savvy individuals, it’s probably best to only turn it on when necessary, so that someone doesn’t unknowingly approve the installation of a malicious app.
