I see loads of people asking about this, and to be honest I installed it about six months ago after reading about it on here and just kind of flailed around at it not knowing what I was doing, so it's

is that actually what happens? I mean, I'm with BT, and I go into the hub settings and I put the device in the DMZ, so there's no controls on it?

 

With the Sportsmania, that seems a bit...dodgy? I mean, £50 for a year, and the app/site provider is taking people's money for a 'service' that's not exactly legal, to the point you wouldn't want to take him to court to recover your money. So, he's got carte blance to pull the plug on that service at any time, or offer a shit service that drops out a lot?

 

What's people's experience of using it? Does he also offer a catch-up service for games, like Football Replays? Is the stream always solid, even with HD? I've got BT Infinity, with an average speed of 20MB, is that enough for the HD?

I've used Sportsmania since last November. Done an initial trial of 1 month for around £13 to see what it was like. I then subscribed for a further 6 months for around £26 (in case something went tits up) and cancelled Sky Sports. Just came up for renewal again in may and done another 6 months. Had hardly any issue with our games in that time. They put direct links to games rather than watching via Sky/BT channels- I find these more reliable, albeit they tend to be streams from non UK broadcasters.

Games are put on demand later - I was at the Dortmund game at Anfield and was able to watch it on demand the following morning.

Defo recommend it, try it for a month before you jump right in. They have support group on Facebook, some people do have issues with speed/buffering.

My Kodi set up reset itself to the confluence skin yesterday. All the add ons are still there but all the menus, backgrounds, shortcuts, TV guide, etc, that I've sunk hours into are gone.

 

Genuinely sickening.

 

Ouch, feel for you there mate.

 

Do you run Kodi via a box or a lappy / PC ?

I have done that mate and its still shit. My Pi might be past its best.

Is it a Pi 1? If so they run much faster off a USB stick. It could also just be that your SD card is shit/old/broken. Or indeed your USB stick if you're already using one.

 

As said earlier, a Pi 2 or 3 is better than a Firestick. Much better than a Pi 1 as well.
