Going to invest in one of these next week in time for the new season.
Seen there's quite a few about, anyone recommend one? Not interested in playing video games on it strictly for streaming football
Thanks in advance.

Can I ask a question?
What will be the cause of me not being able to stream HD films/football via Kodi?
I can stream normal SD, but when it comes to HD, at best it really buffers often and at worst it freezes.
Is it likely to be my broadband connection - I can only get a maximum of 10ish mb/s - or is it likely to be my now slightly antiquated laptop that I use?

HD is higher bandwidth demands which mean it's more likely to buffer. It is also more likely to be harder on the servers serving the content. I'll often just stick on SD or LQ as I'm 10 foot away from the TV anyway.

Hd films you should be OK as the servers are rarely hit as hard simultaneously as they are with the live football steams. Are you using Exodus?

Yep. Its not a massive problem if I've got the choice to watch in SD, which most times I have. Would just be good to watch in HD. If I do that then it buffers or freezes or the sound and picture are completely out of sync.
My laptop that I use is quite old so wonder if it might be an issue with memory/video as much as broadband speed.

More likely to be broadband speed to be honest.

Do any of these boxes come preloaded with channels

Yeah, but they are normally a bit out of date. So its worth uninstalling the kodi app on the box and doing it yourself. Genuinely only a 10 min job.

Whenever install Kodi channels on my laptop, they work for about a week then never load the video.

Never really had that, I can always find a stream for football. I do have access to a server as well though so I tend to use that instead. Films it's fine for.

Wow! All this sounds like a new language.
I have just mastered getting live pl on cricfree, it's a bit hit and miss. Are these devices better than that?
