It changed it name from XBMC to Kodi I have noticed. Just wondering do many people use it and do they know of many good plugins to watch live TV/sports with good quality?

Live streams are hit or miss, I use Phoenix for NHL and MLB live streaming it has many other live stream choices but it's success varies from one hardware set to another. My android tv box won't live stream anyhting, I have 2 diff pc's that will almost always stream live sports , sometimes HBO but the gigantic Korean subtitles make it hard to watch. I use Genesis and IceFilms for most of my viewing of TV shows, they are usually posted within an hour or less after live broadcast.

I did see a few premium plugins that you have to sign up to for all the sports. Something like 10 quid a month just want to make sure the quality is good like and not just using free streams Your using a satellite box thing then are you? And whats the quality like for sports? You getting proper HD channels ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Icefilms works great for me. With Icefilms i always get "No stream available" message, others work great for me such as Ororo and VKbox i think it is, but after a couple of months of messing about trying stream after stream manually and sometimes a 30 minute TV show would last about 50 minutes i discovered the auto detect and now about 90% of everything watch i auto detect with very few problems.

Cheers Sob , I found that Phoenix TV plugin to work a treat! They have Acestream links on the Phoenix TV which basically stream 1080p constantly. I have used acestream before but it can be very hard to find links for particular channels on the web to stream. On the Phoenix TV though it had like all of the Acestreams links for Sky Sports and BT Sports so I'm sorted now If you haven't used Acestream before I would highly recommend it! Only disadvantage of it that it uses a shitload bandwidth (due to the quality) but its well worth it in the end Edited August 11, 2015 by Barron3000 Sonovabich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have to do with location and provider, I have a real debrid movereel traktv 2movies navix and a few other accounts I have set to auto login that made a difference when connecting to stream servers for me. The auto stream function is nice I use it too. Sonovabich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
