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 |  |

After nearly 3 weeks, I'm starting to get this thing sorted. Yesterday managed to establish that my box is rooted by running Root Check, and then successfully installed TCP Buffer Link - hooray!. My keyboard and mouse from my desktop pc work fine with my android box and it does make life so much easier.
I also installed and ran the Ookla Speedtest and found that my download speed through my Sky broadband is a pathetic 14.78mbs/sec. No wonder I get buffering. Next step is to get a faster internet link and then I think I will be a happy bunny. Again, fellas, thanks for all your help. You've been brilliant. |
You clearly have retired 👠|  |

Any decent streams for today's match? The Phoenix one is unwatchable |  | | |

All this financial outlay and mental effort and yet again I have to abandon the Android box and watch Sunderland v Swansea on my iPad, courtesy of Cricfree and the Puffin browser!
I must have tried for nearly an hour and could not find a stream via Kodi. Very disappointing. | | | |

Clearly didn't try in the right places. Did you try Sports Devil ??
Watched the game with no issues at all today! |  |

Everyone I speak to says these android boxes are brilliant, bought one this week from Amazon but I'm not convinced. I have to hunt high and low for half decent streams (most of these kodi programmes I try search on say nothing found or the stream buffers for ever). Also having similar issues with films and boxsets although I have all the main ones people have spoken about on here sports devil, genesis, Phoenix etc. I read neath Jack mention he was enjoying with no searching, but I seem to spend most my time searching. Any tips???? |  |

I use VIP box or one of the others under sports devil. Yea I know these are same sources I'd use on my laptop, but there are no pop ups and I'm watching on a much bigger screen than laptop. I agree it can sometimes be not perfect quality. But it works well enough. Vdub has sources too | |

Ok thanks for the advice, I do seem to have most of these programmes mentioned already installed so I'll have a fiddle about. Any tips on best box set site? Do you tend to uninstall the programmes / apps that you don't have any joy with? | |

Also, is there a way, when I've found apps or programmes I like of getting shortcuts of them on home screen so I can remember them and can bypass going into and looking in kodi? | |

To put a shortcut to an add on on your main menu screen:
System>Settings>Appearance>Skin>Settings>Add on shortcuts
Then select the add ons you want for each shortcut position. |  | | |

The Everton v Man City game is flawless on UKTurk>NSNBC 1080p | | | |

A perfect one on Phoenix again for this Man City game. I can never get a tidy one on Uk Turk. Watched our game yesterday on Digitele, not the best picture but didn't buffer once. |  |

Have you tried one of the subscription add ons like Sports Donkey, Sportsmania, Sportsaccess etc? | |

I get Sportsaccess free with my Prometheus box and it's usually excellent.
I also subscribe to streamtvbox for £10.99 a month and it's also spot on. | | | |

I don't find the NBCSN stream 'flawless'. Yes it is pretty buffering free, but it has the shakes - the picture shakes every couple of seconds. Anybody else notice this?
I'm currently watching SS1 on Modbro - no buffering and a stable picture. At last!
I came on here to ask where the hell do I find Sportsdevil? Then somebody above says it is also known as Digitele - is that right? Thanks in anticipation. | | | |

Can't say I have that "shake"problem with it. Which box are you using?

Me too pal, but stick with it. It does work. I've had my 'challenges' with this technology but I don't regret getting it. I'm learning all the time. I'm currently watching Sky Sports 1 via Modbro and it's excellent - no buffering at all. There's a lot of knowledge on this board and I've benefitted from it.
Genesis is good for movies - there is the odd movie on there that is aimed at the over25s!
Hang in there. | | | |

I'm using an MX OTT TV Box.
I have Sportsdevil installed already ( when I installed Wookie) - I've seen it - but I can't find it again! That's why I was interested to see it was known as Digitele. | | | |

Sportsdevil has a habit of hiding itself in some set ups.
If you go to System>Settings>add ons>enabled add ons>video add ons
You should find it there and it can be launched from there. | | | |

It's in Robin Hood Project, then Money Sports, i think (Sportsdevil i mean), Digitele is something different again.
What i've learned is just because one addon works for one person, doesn't mean it will work for you, even if you live in the same area. | |

The quality of all of these of course will depend on the stability and speed of the wireless/wired connection that is being used at any point in time
If people have internet like I have here then there are intermittent drops (that tend to last a second or two) that clearly won't help
I know it is stating the obvious but I was talking to someone the other day who was praising the quality of the picture he was getting and didn't get that there would be a difference between the 28mb p/s signal that he was getting and the 3.7Mb one that I had at that time.
It's also something that some people who charge £180 to set up these boxes forget to tell people |  | | |

Someone's actually installing these for a £80 profit???? That's absurd . As we all been finding out the best way is to learn to do them yourself ,as they need as much looking after as an old car :) | |

I only paid £40 for mine and hardware wise it's right up there with anything available.
Knew I should have chosen scammer when doing career options in school. :) | | | |
