Saint I think thats what I said, I think you should be chatting to BT, it doesn’t matter what laws pass or don’t by the way streaming football isn’t going to go away, they can have your isp and you can get another, they need to change as the blag is here to stay, this isn’t limewire.
People here running Kodi 16 still or just me?
I’ve got one device still running it.
Mind you, some people still ran 15 for the Karaoke shit that got chopped in 16.
Up to ten years in jail for using streaming services.
Fucking hell, we’re catching the real criminals now, ain’t we?

Oh, ffs. More proof positive that the reason people stream is because the media business model is so poor that they can’t make money due to them all trying to extract the most money they can out of the punters…e.g. Sky & BT Sport who paid over the odds for footie screening rights.

They said they were going to crack down on illegal sahring a couple of years ago (torrents etc. etc.) that really worked didn’t it.
I have said all along they’ll have to change as Kodi add ons won’t, Kodi is legal by the way.
10 years? For streaming a film or football match?

What is the likelihood that they would catch anyone doing this?

What else do you get a 10 year sentence for?
Interestingly, Murdoch and co have made a number of visits to 10 Downing St. over the last few months. I wonder whether the Digital Economy Act and those visits are in any way connected…
I have heard Corbin loves watching a boxset on exodus. If he gets into power, we will get a pay rise, 4 more bank holidays and free streaming for all.

If May gets in power to control the Empire we’ll get a free screensaver of the Emperor on Pulse.

Nothing will be free Barry
Just updated to 17.1 Krypton a couple of weeks ago Tokes. Needed a little tinkering, a couple of settings, a reinstall of the odd plug in, nothing much tho’.
Performance is not much different to Jarvis 16 tbh … maybe a tad more responsive but I don’t know if that was the upgrade or because I had a bit of of a clean up at the same time … clearing caches/redundant plug in’s etc…
It still takes forever to exit’/shutdown and needs to be forced occasionally, for no obvious reason.

I have two boxes, updated both to 17.1 Kypton last week. One has a Wookie build and works fine now, the other is bespoke with loads of Japanese stuff of the Mrs and some more unusual add-ons. That one won’t work at all now. I can probably sort it but just can’t be arsed at the moment.
What do people on here usually use, builds or bespoke?
Also are any of the paid add-ons any good? GB mentioned a sports one last week. I have only ever used free stuff but would be interested in a good sports one that is completely reliable.
sportsmania.rocks, £60 a year IIRC, not just sport but some movies and TV as well. Can’t fault their HD streams for football, watched the boxing on demand the other day too, that was superb quality.
I’m using Kodi 17 on my tablets, PC and android box, I don’t have any problems but then again I use a bog standard build.

I used to use the Wookie builds and preferred them over others.
Now I’m using my own one, which is the basic Kodi with just Exodus, Phoenix, One242415 (now a seperate addon) Sportsmania and one or two others specific to my interests. The performance is significantly better than Wookie because it’s not packed with loads of unwanted or broken plugs ins, you’ll never use. I wouldn’t go back to an off the shelf build now.
Oh, and I whole heartedly agree with Bob about Sportsmania. For reliabilty and content it’s the best. It’s cheap as chips. you’ll never look back. btw I think they’ve stopped new subscriptions to SportsMania but SportsNation is exactly the same

Cheers guys, I’ll give it a go.
Yep. Sportsmania +VPN. Fuck em.
Do you configure Kodi to run through a proxy or do you start your VPN when you start the computer?
Also what VPN do you use?
You streaming live porn Bob?
