Kodi or IPTV??

[Jasmine Raine]

Yeah but dont you get fed up with the repositories going down? Kodi went downhill for me once Genesis kicked the bucket. Specto and Covenant were good for awhile before they went belly up...

Genesis is back under Genesis reborn.

I have no issues. Just google where the new repositories are and in 5 mins, you are downloading and hooking up. So maybe tutorials on youtube, it really take no time or brains at all.

Small price to pay for free TV and Movies.

Yes it takes 5 minutes to install reps. I was having some problems with exodus lately are others having any issues? I switched to covenant .

What are people using for soccer? I used Mobdro but sometimes I switch to websites...

Ok you don't have a problem a handling Kodi 17 ....my buddy had android 4.4 an the box can't handle 5 so he had to get kodi 17 Fork. I guess by updating the software they get you to buy new boxes.

Technology is getting better and cheaper. I bought a MINIX a few years back but it was glitchy and couldn't run Kodi properly. I like this one. It's downstairs from the router but the wireless connection works great. I have Kodi on the PC in the upstairs study but I prefer the android box so I don't have to worry about hook-ups, etc. I've also got a drive with 800+ movies hooked to it.

I know how to install repos. I just get tired of their shorter and shorter shelf lifes. These days i just rely on a good streaming site and if it goes down (which the one i use hasnt in awhile) i just hop on reddit amd find a new one

Ok this is a new one, I was thinking that you still had the old one. You won't have a problem with a newer one....you use large HD to store movies and stuff? Sometimes I worry that they're going to go so I buy smaller ones like 1 or 2 TB so in case they fail I don't lose too much ..now they have huge drives like 10 TB. Are you still using the Beast? I tried it for a period and then went back to standard kodi....

How bad is the buffering on Kodi??

Depends on the Kodi link. But as a rule I have very little issues. Kodi will supply a lot of links and the automatically scroll through to one that works on some apps.

I have this box called BuzzTV XPL2000 Quad Core Android TV Box

BuzzTV XPL2000 Quad Core Android TV Box and Premium Streaming Media Player Powered by 5.1 Lolipop [BuzzTV XPL2000 - 2GB/8GB/4K/AC Wireless/ BuzzTV IR Remote]

Pice starting from 90$+tax

I don't use kodi, but I've subscribed to IPTV which gives me LiveTV as well as tons of On Demand. I seldom watch programs on On Demand, but the few times I did, buffering was pretty bad. And on LiveTV, sometimes the buffering is so bad with the same scenes repeat over and over again, it becomes unwatchable. Most of the time though, it is pretty good with minimal or noticeable buffering.

I had the beast on my old Minix and currently on the PC. I read some good things about No Limits and put it on the new box - seems good. I've got two drives duplicated with the movies and some old TV series. I've had drive failures which is a pain as it take almost two days to transfer the movies.

Not being very familiar with Android boxes... how would a repo going down be any different on a laptop vs. an Android box? Aren't they using the same sources. As for repos such as Specto and Covenant going down... no biggie. I just install a replacement. Takes all of about 1 minute. Very easy to do.

My own personal point was that i have ditched kodi altogether. You are right though. Android box and laptop are similar. To your point, installing a replacement takes a minute. I agree. Finding a good replacement doesn't. I just cant be bothered. I just use a streaming website now. Been using the same 2-3 sites for awhile. If they ever shut down im sure i can find new ones on reddit. No worrying about repos going down or using a cumbersome navigational system...no clicking on a feed and having kodi cycle through them all until it finds one that can play

 

[blueray]

Ditched my cable. Bought a db8 antenna from save and replay in Mississauga ($179.00). Get 35 stations, including all the major US and Canadian networks, crystal clear.
Bought a Nvidia android box because from the reviews saying it was the best box to handle Kodi. I use the new Covenant mostly for TV and movies (some buffering issues but usually pretty good). Use SportsDevil and SportsWorld for sports, but not happy with the quality of the streams. Also just acquired IPVanish on black Friday, $69 for two years.
All in all, I am happy with the move off cable.

What streaming sites do you use? I will often use Popcorn Time. Dependable site with good quality videos.

 

[sweetiepieexo]

I have kodi version 16.1 and have had no issues. i use kodi on my laptop and have been for about two years now. The only problem i get sometimes ( rarely ever) is the no streams available for this i just update exodus and everything works great again. No need to pay for cable or the box

I got to get with the times.... ya I still buy cable tv.

It's so confusing though as there's a million media boxes. I'd go nuts trying to find the best one for whatever budget I'm willing to spend on it.

Right now i use gostream.is
If you dont get conned with the odd pop up its great

2 ways to easily solve the buffering issue.

1. Wire the box directly to your modem or router
2. See how much free memory you have while running the box and kodi, then set it up to allow 30% or so of your available memory or so to use as a cache. What this does is allow the program to use a couple hundred mb's or so to download AHEAD of what you're watching. With this option set up, if your movie/show is buffering, simply pause it, go grab a drink and come back. By then it will have downloaded 5-10 mins ahead and youll watchthe rest of the show or movie without interruption. Also iptv is 10$ a month, anyone paying 20-30 you are getting fucked

For anyone buying a box these days get something with 3gb+ of ram this will allow you a good size to use as a cache and will improve your movie watching experience greatly. 2gb are still decent, and stay the hell away from anything with 1gb
