Kodi Box

[Hatch]

Anyone have one ?

 

Pros/Cons ?

 

And can an idiot install and use one?

[Batman]

Pros - incredible amount. Loads of sports, TV, films etc

Cons - sometimes, need a good internet connection.

 

idiot-proof - YES...Google is your friend. LOADs of vids/snippets on how to add certain apps.

I have 2 in the house and have configured about 15-20 now for F&F. KODI is brilliant

 

I have this one from Amazon, but there are loads available. https://www.amazon.co.uk/DroidPlayer-Android-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00PTC05VS

 

Code BIGTHANKS gets you £10 off £50 spend just now (Amazon).

 

Configuration is easy - recommend installing Exodus which will give you TV series + movies galore (Think Netflix, Amazon prime, sky combined + more) Exodus is free

 

You can also configure for live TV (also easy) I have a subscription to Smash TV (IPTV) and gives me 900 + sky channels. cost is £45 per year. Provides about 100 sports channels and every saints game so far this season.

Some things to look for but buy one preloaded and all straightforward.

Would probably suggest installing on your PC first.

 

Its free and add exodus (free) can then test with broadband ect before buying a box

Presumably this is all illegal?

Kodi is not illegal, the contents you add and configure yes

 

Kodi is like a DVD player, the DVD player is not illegal but does and can play dodgy DVDs

Yes, sorry. I was referring to your "dodgy DVDs", not your "DVD player".

I think they recommend that you operate through a VPN for anonymity and peace of mind. You can easily Google Kodi and VPN.

 

I have a firestick with Kodi and Exodus but haven't used it much so far. Intstallation and configuration was a bit messy and operation is a bit clunky but it's cheap

Since losing the satellite some 2-3years ago, we rely on one for even the basics. Our internet connection gives us between 2-5 mbs (you did read correctly) c**p.

 

I have sportsdevil for matches, but, this no longer works. Can anyone give me any ideas?

[Toadhall Saint]

Does it work with MacBooks?

My F-I-L was on about getting one with a Firestick, which means nothing to me so would someone kindly explain how it all works and point me in the direction of buying one, something you actually recommend.

 

Please remember that I'm a tech incompetent.
