Yeah I'm just basically using all android device's, mobile phones and tablets plus the firesticks.
Whatever device he gets it will be cool.
There will always be someone who can help and there's plenty of vids on YouTube.... For now anyway
The only reason I suggest firestick is because it's the cheapest option really.

Well Dans is having trouble with Windows. Personally I've never done it on windows. I gave him the fusion url, he put it in, went back to install from zip, and nothing came up he says. So told him to try the superrepo url, pop that in there, and see if that works... and then if that doesnt work to uninstall/reinstall try again. Is there something I'm missing here for windows?

Nah not that I've noticed. Some smart filters on some isps block stuff from working but you just gotta turn it off on the router settings

Well thats fukn odd...go ahead and install 9movies, 123movies, exodus(if its on there yet I can't remember), SALTS(Stream all the Sources), BBTS for news, Icefilms(see if the metadata installs), metadata is your movie picture, description, and possibly so you can watch the trailor for it from youtube. Israellive another great live tv addon, and go ahead and google the sportsdevil latest zip, download, and then go to Settings---install from zip---your storage---downloads---latest version should be Feb 1st I think

Sportsdevil doesnt have a repo, its usually updated appx once a month...so if you want to see that Magregor fight for free you need it

How'd you make out? Install Entertainment Hub and Pheonix also. Check out Valhalla on Pheonix. For local channels you may want rabbit ears or something. For news and live tv: BBTS, Israellive, Sportsdevil, PakIndialive, castaway, DNA tv

I think I am going to take the plunge this weekend. I am eyeing a used Zotac mini PC to use instead of a pre loaded streaming box. I feel this is a better option but I know it will take some set up on my part. Plus I like the dual functionality of being able to use it as a PC and just hook it up to the TV as well.

That's all I did but I paid a one off charge of £25 to have the gigio monte build. Everything is in neat little sections. All works perfectly and the guy releases updates to remove and replace dead links.
He lets you know if there's an update on his Facebook group, and you just click the update tab on main screen.
He also puts on mobdro which I'm finding I use a lot.

I'm not clever enough nor could I be arsed to arrange it all neat like it is. I prefer to pay someone else lol.

I respectfully disagree...You can get everything you need for free. Dans Ganjigav had me download Mobdro. Google "Latest Mobdro apk" and download. It's it own app, and gives you a ridiculous amount of channels for free, and constantly updated.

Has anyone tried the new DNA tv? I'm seeing the first 4K UHD movies for kodi it seems. Difficult for my eyes to focus on it actually lol...:biggrin:

Yeah mobdro is pretty good. It works when all else fails.
My tv can't handle that new 4k stuff. Only 1080 so I will be needing new tv soon.
Bloody technology,why can't it slow down.

I could give a shit about 3D anymore. Just want my picture to pop. I went with the new Vizio 60" UHD M60-C3 model. Big hit with the family. Certainly pisses Samsung off the picture's that good for a $1000...
