jack D and coke Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 You can watch pretty much anything you want from anywhere. Think Netflix but on crack. And you can find good sports streams too. As for replacing your sky subs etc how long it will all last I'm not sure tbh it seems to be getting very popular. Only a matter of time before a real crackdown begins I reckon.

Pans Jambo Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Can you be a bit more specific? Have you installed the addons/wizard?I'm usually OK with tech but it arrived with virtually zero instructions other than how to connect it to the wi-fi & I have zero experience with Android/Kodi. Looked at a few tutorials since I last posted so Ihave managed to add a few add-ons but what are the best ones for football? I need the full file extension (http://.....). Manged to install Sports Mania but still need to subscribe but any decent add-ons you can recommend would be appreciated mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this for best part of 3 1/2 years before buying the Amazon Fire TV. Only reason I changed was because I wanted the laptop/pc out of the lounge as it wasn't practical plus it was on constantly. I also have a Fire Stick and I'm really impressed with it. Only thing I would say about casting anything is that it's essentially adding another layer for something to go wrong. I know technology has improved massively however I prefer to eradicate any risk of interruption when possible. Majority of my home network it wired however I was that anal about wifi interuptions quite a few years back that I convinced the Mrs we didn't need a microwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf's Mate Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Donkey has a few major issues at the moment however Mania has been brilliant since the recent update. Just make sure you're on version 2.3.0 Shame about Donkey as it was imo better than Mania until their recent issues.

jack D and coke Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 If anybody fancies paying for subs I'd only go with Sportsmania tbh. The Sports Donkey guy comes across a bit of a weapon on Twitter. It's basically why I'm always a bit hesitant about handing money over to some random in a foreign country for something they could just decide to pull the plug on at any moment. If your subscribing I'd be doing it in smallish periods. I certainly wouldn't be paying for anything up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something on the page about using it on multiple devices. I'm pretty sure you can but you're not allowed to use the same account at the same time on two different divices. I think this is to stop you from sharing you're log in details. I mainly use it on my Droidbox but I've used it on a laptop when down at my mums and it worked fine.

Lovecraft Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Just a little heads up about a Kodi addon called zeus Fantastic. Has pretty much all the main sports channels - Sky, BT etc.... most in either HD or very high quality streams. Free too. http://tutorial-iptv-xbmc.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/zeus-video-addon-for-kodi-xbmczeus.html Also has lots of TV and other streams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality was excellent but found that I was being kicked out of the game quite regularly - it kept taking me back to the menu screen and then I had to click to go back into the game. Has anyone else had this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
