Netflix has all the Twin Peaks. Need a refresher before the new season coming up soon!

Been binging on Resurrection: Ertugrul series....kind of the King Arthur for the Ottomans/Turks, and father of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire. Funny, season 1 has 70 something episodes, and season 2 has over a hundred...

I really like the new Kodi interface! It's been working very smooth for me.
A bit easier to navigate once you get used to it.

It's getting high marks Skip. Depending on their preference, folks can always go back to the Confluence skin if they choose also...

It seems like they are cracking down in the UK. They just passed a new anti piracy law and selling boxes is now illegal in the EU.

I wonder how long until it catches up to those of us in the US? I've been enjoying KODI, but it's always seemed to good to be true.

It's just the "Fully Loaded" boxes Squall, that no one should be buying anyway. The developers, the smart ones anyway, saw this coming a mile away, and improved security. They are the ones they're TRYING to go after, and will only be caught in rare cases of weak security. It's still 100% legal for us because we're the end user. We're only streaming, not downloading...https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/299299...sion-new-laws/ .

If anyone is shopping for a device, and you come across one that says "Fully Loaded", "Jailbroken", or anything similar STAY AWAY. These seller's are idiots and are screwing it all up for the rest of us, getting the piracy hawks attention, having them on Amazon, and Ebay. They're the Trojan horse of the Kodi community, and that's just the first reason. They are also full of junk, ads, outdated addons, and could have who knows what's on there.

Always buy a raw, brand new, unopened device. It's very easy to put your addon repositories into your file manager. There are tutorials everywhere, youtube, and I'm happy to help. Kodi's a kind of stoner heaven, it's fun to me...

Edit: Ok, had to delete that last paragraph, since looking at some newer info/vids from the last few days, they've been making modifications to the new law. They seem to have included streaming is the same as downloading, but end users are basically left alone, as they try to catch the IPTV providers for the most part. There's no way they're going to have the resources to go after end users on a significant scale, or bother with them, but UK users should now get a good VPN. It's eventually going to cross the pond, so US users should start looking at good, fast, pay ones as well...like IPVanish, ExpressVPN, or the one Watts suggested. I think it's close to VPN time lol. Especially since the US has now gone full blown oligarchal, corporatist, sell your own mother for a buck, along with your information, it's just a matter of time...

This guy seems to articulate this well...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IR336OsdMeU

Looks like Amazon just banned the Fully Loaded boxes anyway, in the UK. They're still on the US site...https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/329722...ersial-device/ ...glad they're gone

I was talking with my bro since he's a security freak when it comes to internet privacy, and he said it would be much more difficult what their doing in the UK, here in the states.

For VPN service he suggested privateinternetaccess

In response to the new law passed here in the UK the UK metropolitan police force has put together a special crack team to deal with the dangerous criminals who stream from kodi.

Interesting, Hotspot Shield vpn is free, and barely slowed my speed. Think it's just US tho...https://m.apkpure.com/hotspot-shield...ld.android.vpn

What device did you end up getting Squall?
