Had one of these for two weeks and am gobsmacked by its capabilities. i want to be fully prepared for the football season though, and just wondering what i need to watch the swans on. I don't mind paying for this. Any advice from those that are experienced with Kodi would be great.Thanks |  |

They're wicked little things, however the new BBC Micro:Bit will be better in my opinion. |  |

I'm still trying to figure out how to use a proxy address so IPTV streams from America/Canada/Australia/New Zealand will work without being blocked due to Country copyrights.. you wouldn't have to pay for sportsmania.. and it'll be HD and faultless.. |  |

No,
But i got the V2 older version of it, which is outstanding in fairness. By outstanding, i mean for a complete novice like me, it does everything and more. |  |

F*cking Kodi, IPTV and the Premier League are pals ain't they.. the Premier League is connected to one specific LAN network.. the only way to watch it.. is if you subscribe with a verified source, something like sportsmania.. because it's one of the verified sources the Premier League has allowed into it's LAN network..
the streams we watch.. are fed through by other computers from around Europe.. the reason the stream quality is poor.. is because the Computer in the EU has to connect his sportsmania subscription PC (the PC he watches it on, HD, clear picture) onto another PC that runs Kodi.. he then has to create a source which allows him to broadcast his PC to other PC's that haven't got permission to access the Premier League content..
The buffering, freezing and unclear picture is due to the bandwidth connection from your PC to the PC in the EU.. Virgin Media subscribers should have the best bandwidth or if your internet provider matches the PC in the EU.. the only reason people who subscribe with sportsmania have a better quality picture is because it's directly from source.. not another PC.. the Premier League basically give that user a proxy address to watch premier league content.. it's legal because you pay..
this is why the premier league have been harassing pubs.. but if somebody in the UK area was willing to broadcast their content with others.. the bandwidth, buffering would be much better than the source from Europe. | |

Fair play Virgin media is bar far the best provider, just ran a speed test and hitting 168.72mbps download speed  |  |

I am on VM and have been for about 2 years.
My contract says I am on upto 50meg
I done a speed test a couple of months back and I am
only getting 6meg.
I phoned them and was informed there is work in my area (SA3)
and has been for the last year or so and will go on to mid November
and due to this I was entitled to a £5 month rebate on my bill each month.
However this was not back dated and I need to phone the billing
department each month to have it applied to that months bill.
So if any of you are getting slow speeds compared to your contract
it may be worth you giving them a ring. | |

Great when it works but any repair work and the whole area seems to suffer for hours, sometimes days.
The accounts department seems to be exclusively manned by the educationally sub-normal.
Always complain, it helps when it's time to re-new your contract. I'm probably paying less than I was five years ago... [Post edited 28 Oct 2015 13:49]

This work on the line has been going on for 14 months luckily it did not bother me much since I only used to surf the web (no gaming,streaming etc) and the speed I was getting 6meg was fine.
However when I started using a new Kodi box I looked into my speed and complained the customer support women was very good and told me of the rebate straight away,however it could not be back dated,there must be 1000's of customers in my area not knowing they are entitled to a £5 rebate each month due to this work taking place.
Here is the # 0800 052 2525 if you are getting slow speeds complain and you can spend the fiver discount on some chips from Five Guys burger bar.

Last time I looked, a Sky Sports subscription is about 25 quid per month and hard luck if the match you want to watch is on BT Sport, or not televised at all. I persevered with the free streams for a while but they are generally either appalling picture quality or incessant buffering or both.
SportsMania solves all of the above, not for £25 per month, but for £17 FOR 3 MONTHS.

My T8 V3 arrived today. Took a while to work out that some of the repositories weren't working but I've installed Dexter TV and Genisis. Any other recommendations, particularly for sport? | |

I havejust bought an OTT MXQ box half price with a groupon voucher. A great little box and did everything in Kodi terms that laptop did. I use the Navi add on and have got a few great films in the last couple of days. It is getting frustrating that a lot of the films do not not load when you click on them.
Are there any particularly good links or add ons or should I be subscribed to some of the places? |  |
| |
| Kodi android (formerly XMBC) on 09:06 - Nov 4 with 5187 views | pikeypaul |
I find Navi very annoying not being able to get out of once in.
For sports I use UK Turks,Sportsdevil,Zues
Going to add on Phoenix and Genesis later this morning very
easy to do just google for instructions. | |

Indeed you can. Just make sure you use the correct repository - http://sportsmania.eu/repo/. There are some very old links there and it took me 3 attempts to get it Installed.
Install instructions here:
http://kodicommunity.com/how-to-install-the-new-sportsmania-repository-add-on-fo
Once installed you will have to go to the www.SportsMania.eu website and pay your sub -£4 for the day if you want to try it out, which is what I did, then £12 for a month or £17 for 3 months which is what I did. You register with an id and password you choose yourself. Then when you click on SportsMania on your box you will have to login first time - you never have to again.
Saturday before last, I watched the Villa v Swans game on my tv in perfect HD and no buffering. Sheer luxury! Also when you're not at home you can log on to SportsMania.eu on your tablet or laptop and watch an HD quality stream with no buffering. I've only been a member for 3 weeks but I'm a big fan.
One last point. All support is via Facebook. There is a Facebook group for non-subscribers and a closed group for subscribers. Good bunch of blokes - friendly and helpful. | | | |

Excuse my ignorance but with the tablet/laptop option above for sportsmania do you still
need to have Kodi downloaded on the devices or are there direct links via the sportsmania website
for members who log in? | |
