Yes, but it lags behind 'normal' tv, so just as useless for IR betting.

Showbox for movies, click and play in 720 no messing about.
I actually used Periscope for the Haye fight....had a perfect HD feed. 40k viewers it had at one point. |

Just got a firestick and as people have indicated Kodi is great for TV shows and films, live streaming of football is very hit and miss though, bad quality or just not loading. I actually find the streams on Mobdro better overall which is easy to put on yer stick.
You could try a 'premium private server'. Had a free trial and then decided to give it a go, £25 for 3 months. You get all Sports (inc RUK, BT, 3pm Saturday games), movies and any other channel you could think of, there's a bit of on demand box sets and films, streams are very stable (haven't had one go down yet) and HD, impressed so far, bit dodgy perhaps, but isn't all of it! |

Watched first 5 minutes of HR.
OTT opening shots of bodies ' flying ' through the air in slow motion. Bodies on fire ,running in slow motion. Bodies on fire on the ground in slow motion. Then cut to two small boys playing in the woods. A type cast script that has been done so many times before ( and better ). But then it is directed by Mel Gibson. Enough said. |
|
By:
I hate war films, but I thought HR was fantastic. It's a bit harsh judging a film before the opening credits have finished.
If you gave it a go, and forgot about your Mel Gibson disliking, then you'd probably enjoy it. |

I watch and enjoy plenty of films of all genres. hth.

By:
Why harsh kenbo. ? Sometimes you can make your mind up very quickly.
Same with novels. I can usually tell from the first few pages whether I'm going to enjoy it. |
|
By:
It's harsh because you'd already decided that you didn't want to enjoy it.
I've given up on many films myself after the same amount of time, but I couldn't truly give an honest opinion of them after watching so little. Give it a go on a quiet day/night, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on it. |
|
By:
Ok I will. I acknowledge that ones mood cab heavily influence things
 Take this evening for example. zFilm 4 now is Mission Impossible - Ghost Proticol. Now I enjoyed the first two films in the series. But this ? After 5 mins I switched it off - dire. Was I wrong to ? |
|
By:
I watched Hacksaw Ridge the other night and thought it was average.
|
|
By:
The MI films have gone more 'Hollywood' since the first two were made. I can have them on in the background without paying much attention, and still not miss the plot.
Films like HR can get overhyped, and not live up to expectations. |

By:
I'm still traumatised after watching the first 'Railway Children' film! Too much sex and violence for my liking!

Ok, those who want perfect streams and are willing to pay a bit, take my advice, paste http://ultimatemania.rocks/ into your browser bar and go to it. If you want to try it out, try for a week maybe and see how you get on. Once you have successfully signed up, go back to the main page and go to how to download our kodi add-on. This gives you foolproof instructions on how to install the ultimate mania add-on. Once installed, sign in with your username and password and enjoy almost a complete sky package and hundreds of sports channel from around the world including full HD RUK. I've been using this service for well over a year now and it is without doubt the best service available on Kodi. The owner of it has invested thousands in extra servers to keep things running as smooth as possible.

How does it perform on wifi treble or do you need an ethernet cable - my hub is about 5 metres away from the tv and running a cable isn't very practical for me

I've just this week signed up to UltimateMania, and I can honestly say it's the dog's bollux. Took a bit of getting used to navigating around the menus, but the quality is the best I've come across. There's another subscription addon for a 'sky' type program menu, but I've yet to get it. |

My son was correct, Exodus is ending but Specto is taking over
 https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-specto-kodi/ For streams he also suggests the wss app (not part of Kodi and may not be installable on a Firestick). He put it on my Android box and it's a great picture/ stream. I'm watching the Middlesbro v Man City game on it atm. http://www.doctor-dance.net/ That link looks a bit dodgy but he says it's correct and I can testify for the picture. |

Kodi for movies and TV
Cricfree and Chromecast for football and other live sports Not surprised Exodus is going to disappear, it s a unreliable pice of sh1t. Specto is an older add-on, is it not ? Seem to remember having that ages ago. |
|
By:
Exodus is a Kodi add on and been my goto add on for TV and films, I'm very happy with it.
My son keeps up to date with things whereas I just load it and forget about it but he says Specto is developed by one of the guys that developed Exodus. I've noticed as one app disappears, another shows up. |
|
By:
Can someone tell the Exodus developer that there are 2 movies called Split, and that I would very much like to see the one with James McEvoy and his 27 personalities, and not the f****g tenpin bowling movie that it has on every bas**rd stream
 Exodus is well known for mixing up the wrong movies and TV shows with different titles. Not to mention frequent "no stream available" error messages for all the movies I want to see. This, after the trailer works perfectly fine. As I saids I said, an unreliable piece of sh1t. |
|
By:
What do you expect for nothing
 |
|
By:
That was weeks ago when they were showing the wrong Split (though it happens with a few films). I was trying to play it daily for ages, then unfortunately the correct film played.
I haven't used all that many sites for films, but I think Exodus is the dogs bollox. |
|
By:
Thought they were clamping down om Kodi and such, how long will it last?
|
|
By:
Think that's more people who sell kodi boxes with pre installed software for watching illegal streams which is a criminal offence. Difficult for them to crack down on people self installing Kodi then using it for illegal streaming.
|
|
By:
I've often wondered who pays for all this?
Films/ TV need to be stored somewhere while live TV needs servers so a volume of users can all click through at the same time. Someone, somewhere has to pay for the live TV, then code and stream it. Why would someone go to the hassle? People that develope the software need to continually update them, I can understand why they develope but it must be a right pain fixing all those bugs. At least with the dodgy videos you bought down the market, you know someone was making money out of it. I just don't get it for Kodi. |
|
By:
with Modbro, they must be funded by ads (judging my the number that pop up just before you tune in to watch a live match)
|
|
By:
I suppose so. I read on one Android thread that a developer had 10,000 downloads for his app and made roughly $500 from Google Adsense. I'm sure there would be more that 10,000 viewers for each match so that would be a neat little earner for the developers.

Many thanks treble for pointing me towards ultimatemania..simply outstanding HD quality..absolutely everything there including films which load up within seconds.Paid for a weekly pass(£6) and i most definitely will be signing up for a year(£75) when my contract with Virgin expires in June.
|
|
By:
I'll check out the ultimatemania service. you'd think they would offer a sports-only package tho. I'm sure they'd get more sales.
|
|
By:
They do this one, which is all the sports channels that you get on ultimatemania for a bit cheaper. http://sportsnationhd.tv/view.php?pg=login

do you need to subscribe to a company with a kodi box
|
|
By:
No, everything is free but better quality streams require payment. Personally I don't see the point in paying, we watched the Arsenal FA Cup match with a great stream. It's a bit hit and miss though, live TV is not great but films and TV shows are great quality.
|
|
By:
And I mentioned above, you can get Kodi for PC and Android phone. Follow one of the many guides out there for what to do, see what it's all about before buying a Firestick or dedicated Android Box. The advantage is you get a remote and can watch it on your TV but you can do the same with your phone or PC.

is there atr and ruk racing on it
|
|
By:
If you want HD quality streams that don't buffer every two minutes then its well worth paying an extra few quid.If your not fussed about the quality of live sports and are ok messing around looking for a reliable stream then go with the latter.
|
|
By:
Yes and RUK is in HD
|
|
By:
where on the tele does the stick go
|

By:
