watching M'well v Celtic just now with Fox Soccer Plus on bottom right of the screen.

They are buying this from Sky as it is Crock o'shit & Wanger commentating.

 

Question is, if a pub was to show this what is the legalities?

Fox are an American company and not interested surely. Sky can only complain if they are showing Sky Sports.

A landlady down here (Portsmouth) done exactly that and was taken to court. She was using something like a Greek satellite service however it was completely legal in Greece. Can't remember the exact details however she won her case. Might not have been Greece either but they reckoned this would open the floodgates.

 

Think Mania is a bit different though as they haven't purchased or have a contract to show the games.

Not Kodi (I don't thiknk), but probably end up with the same punishment

I meant to start a thread on Salter's Pub Dalkeith.

And it insisted it was ?committed to visiting every licensed premises reported by other publicans and/or organisations for illegally showing Sky? and had ?made arrangements to visit hundreds of pubs each week in towns and cities across the UK this season?. George Lawson, head of commercial piracy at Sky Business, said: ?We?re committed to protecting Sky customers who are unfairly losing business due to this illegal activity and these cases are just the latest in our efforts to ensure they are not short-changed. ?Orders like these demonstrate the seriousness of fraudulently screening TV programmes through the large penalty applied, but also through the order to fund advertising, which we hope will help to highlight the consequences of televising Sky?s content illegally.?

 

my point being though, if you are showing Fox Sports, can Sky legitimately prosecute?

ie dont show the ones with BT & Sky logos

It's on bein however you can also get it via Game Zone section.

Don't know if it's because I'm on the iPad through matrix rather than my fire sick but it's saying bein isn't available and there's no record of it in the game zone.

Yeah I had same issue with some games last week (Hearts) on iPad and funny enough I couldn't get this today. Some did work though. I stuck it on the laptop which worked and then forgot all about it.

Peter Lovenkrands on Sevco TV was joy too. I was in tears a few times when he got quite excitable. He sounds like he's had Transgender surgery. [emoji23]

I'm guessing you've tried going directly to BT section and it's doing this? Try accessing the calendar and finding something that's on BT and try selecting it from there. Or if you're doing it this way already try going in via the actual BT section. I had similar the other week with it not working in one but it was in the other. 

 

 

Thanks again Rudolphs mate.

I used the calendar section as you said and it worked a treat, just watched the Gunners thrash the Hammers 1-5

Thanks for helping me out again

Think it speaks volumes that of all the sevco players they could get in to commentate they got one that wasn't that great with his English! Unless he's improved since I last heard him speak.

Australis, there's also an option to unhide watched channels somewhere if you are noticing lots of channels dropping off the sky sports list for example. It should be under the left hand menu somewhere

The issue is with Mania not playing sources bud. The channels show however occasionally some are unable to play.

All righty then!!  Got the box set up, got Phoenix on there... Now what, chaps!!?!?!  (Fusion doesn't seem to be letting me add Exodus, nothing happens when I click on it...)

 

What other addons?  Looking for movies, mostly American TV shows (House of Cards, Hannibal, quite a bit of the Netflix originals stuff been enjoyed, so that kinda stuff).  And I'll want sport.

 

All advice kindly received!  Just getting used to navigating it.  Is it just about learning where the good stuff is??

 

Anyone got kids they let use it?  We have a 4 and a 6 yeaold who we let have the telly buttons, but Netflix has pins etc to stop them getting into stuff...

Thanks Poseidon, that has just worked for me to get the two BT stations back, using the menu on the left once I was in the BT section.

Thanks to you and Rudolphs mate for getting me back on track, much appreciated.

Take a little bit of time watching youtube videos. Phoenix and Exodus will give you every TV show and Movie you want. If you're looking for Live TV and Sport, I'd suggest Ultimatemania. 

 

However, can't stress enough - watch youtube videos explaining how it works. I consider myself very IT literate, but never got round to understanding Kodi until a couple of weeks ago. All I use now.

I stand corrected. I didn't realise you'd lost them (vanished) so well done to those suggesting above [emoji85]

 

Maybe I should read it correctly next time lol.

Probably just the way I described it, that caused the confusion. sorted now thanks to you two.

I was a wee bit miffed I think that I was paying for these on sportsmania but not able to see them, I will know what to do now.

 

Thank you

Aw mate I wouldn't beat yourself up. I bought one of the first android boxes on the market several years ago and gave it away thinking it was mince. Turned out I didn't have a clue what I was doing and the boy I gave it to said it was best gifts anyone had given him [emoji23]

Ok, so got Exodus working.  I'm no far off a big old stiffy here.  An actual lob on.

 

Just been typing in the search, it's even got all Vic and Bob's back catalogue.  OMFG, if you'll forgive modern parlance, but how have I just got this shit!??!?!?!?

 

Wow!

 

Oh and just watched Suicide Squad for first time, so I might be giving it the Billy Smarts in my PJs due to Harley rather than the Kodi, now I think about it...

Mobdro has some porn channels added to it.

So I've been told anyway :peepwall:

Great choice of Willie Thorne on the build I've mentioned above.

Mobdro is a brilliant free app for android tbh. Could probably sideload onto fire TV as well.

I have and works pretty well. Reliable streams. My mates who don't have sportsnation use it. Better than free kodi add-ons for sport.

Anyone had issues with the audio being out of sync on a Firestick? It happens with every app apart from Kodi oddly enough. Tried restarting it and reinstalling apps but it still doesn't work. Not had much luck finding answers online either.

Happens with iplayer, go into firestick settings, then applications (I think), then down to manage installed applications. Click on whatever add on isn't working, then clear cache. Should sort it out.

Fairly easy to adjust the sync using the remote

Just bit the bullet and bought a AFTV box. We got a cheap box a wee while ago and it was ok but it has stopped working. The Firestick in our room is going well after a year so decided to stick with Amazon products.

If the audio is out of sync when I am watching on my box, what do I do?

 

Not sure if it's the same but on the stick just hit the big round button on the remote, scroll right to the speaker icon, scroll down to "audio offset" then either speed up or slow down the audio as required.

I gave that a go and also tried clearing data but still no joy. Will try resetting back to factory settings and go from there.

I try it a couple times, usually. Doesn't always work first time.

Thanks very much. Will give it a try later.
