Bitcoin put me off but I don’t think I’ll be back. I like the movies etc I can access on Kodi, it’s free, so I can spend the saved money on a good vpn.
I just fire up the laptop, .making sure the anti-vir and ad blocker is up to date - pretty much 99.9% of the time I find a good to reasonable stream. But watch on the telly box if on BT or Sky
OK Geeks, I have just an hour ago recieved this from “Bitdefender”, my Virus Protection provider…

All live Saints games.
I didn’t realise but they must also do some other games too. I flicked it on tonight to get the kids stream on YouTube and it fired up on the Watford/Chelski game. Not seen that before.
Give it a go for ÂŁ5.

Never knew they did live games.
IlI’ happily give a few more quid to the club .
I used Opera VPN and Kodi for sportsmania for while but it became a ball ache as I don’t really know what I’m doing. If I could use it with out the filing an online tax return level of stress/incompetence on my behalf I would go back to it. I miss Willow, some fella called Goatboy and winding up DoneInTheArse. There was a good little community back in the days when it was called sportsnation.
Didn’t know that saintsplayer provided live match streams. £5 per month seems oddly cheap. it was great for solent commentary but not paying a fiver for that when I can get a shit reception by balancing my site radio precariously in the opposite end of the house from where I want to be.

Yep. Shame really. Always thought it was good value but as it got bigger the quality and reliability seemed to drop. Could never get on with the multitude of facebook groups either. Bitcoin was the final straw for me.

Nothing to do with the club I think … ? Unless I’ve got it proper wrong ? Just some PapGeek somewhere streaming BeinSports etc. and hasn’t been caught ? You can only pay for 1 month at a time which is sometimes a drag if you’ve forgotten on matchday. They are quick to send user details (which change each time !) And the live chat is quick too. I have a feeling it’s somewhere in Holland but I don’t know why I think that at 6.30am ?

I use an an app called Mobdro on my phone, tablet and Amazon Fire Stick. It has loads of streams for TV shows and movies plus channel streams too…
Sometimes the sky sports streams work without a vpn but other times I have to run expressVPN to get them to work. Can normally find the game I want to watch as there are soooo many sports channels available.
I travel abroad a lot and never need the vpn outside of the UK, which is handy. I remember sitting at a black tie dinner function in Singapore last Christmas, watching the Bournemouth/Saints match and completely forgetting myself when Rodriguez scored that belter… got some funny looks…
I too have given up on Kodi all together. With my Netflix subscription and Mobdro on my fire stick I don’t really want for much in terms of TV entertainment.

So @dizzyfeet or @undefined , for us IT numpties, wtf is Mobdro, how does it work and how do you put it on an Amazon Firestick?
Have to admit to being too admittedly Technologically challenged to ask Teenage Mutant - asking only destroys the last shreads of the self respect and dignity around “Dad knows everything” that I’m clinging to…

I took a look at Mobdro after Dizzy’s suggestion. Go onto their website and download it from there. Too many shitty versions on Google Play Store. Downloaded and installed ok, updated itself there and then. Seems to work ok without a VPN. Might be different come match day as the PL rights might require using VPN. I’ve used a few VPNs recently (cyberghost, tunnelbear and expressvpn). The best ones you pay for but they are all relatively cheap.
Basically Amazon firestorm makes your normal tv become am internet tv. If your tv is already an internet tv then you don’t really need a firestick .
I run my normal tv with a Google chrome cast off the tablet or phone. Essentially does the same thing.
Google "how to use a VPN " … it’s straight forward even for a ludite like me.

I lost you after " I took a look at Mobdro…" tbf @saint-cd - nowt personal, just anything more than 2 tin cans and a piece of string is beyond me 
I’ll check out your suggestions though
I have Mobdro on my phone and it works pretty well.
Good to have a few different options!
With regard to VPN’s. I use expressvpn (the paid for version). It works out at about £6ish per month and you can run it on several devices (5 I think) so plop it on your phone/tablet/wherever.
Just installed Mobdro on my tablet, easy to find the cricket this morning. Don’t imagine finding the football at the weekend will be so easy if you don’t know what channel it is on, that’s one of the reason why I like SportsMania as they make finding things easy.
I use PIA as my VPN as I got it cheap off of XDA developers, it’s also got an option that I can use for my torrents.
One thing, the sound of the streams I have watched on Mobdro seem to be all out of synch, is there a setting for this…
This is the problem !
I set up a bookmnark which quickly take sme to the Mania calendar where I can see what channels are showing the game, then you can look for it in Mobdro.
On Mobdro, you can (in settings) filter by English speaking only and alphabetical. So when you go into Sports channels it is a bit easier to find.

Also watching the cricket on Mobdro, even though it was supposed to be HD the quality sure wasn’t HD
Kodi is a nightmare for sports and I’v given up on that and now use now tv and BT, sure its an arm and a leg but I get the games, still use kodi for films etc I use nolimits as its the most updated build by far since the crackdown, I don’t have a vpn and don’t really see the point, my provider BT appears not to give a shit, VPN slows down your speeds as well.
