trapperman 474 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Chatting to a mate at the gym he says he has a Kodi box and it's so good he's cancelled his sky package etc What's the laws on these things? I mean they sell them on Amazon etc so can't be illegal can they? My misses is a bit worried about it but I would like to try one as we pay over £90 a month for sky, Netflix, and amazon prime We have good broadband speed here, could anyone recommend a good box to get to try it, can you get all the channels from Sky etc on them Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arcticgun 4,548 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 The software n boxes legal they don't host or store content they simply strength what others post up on the net The quality varies if you loo about on you tube n forums you can usually find grey quality streams or movies sport and live tv Most don't need the box simply download kodi programme onto your laptop and then search what repositories links etc you need too install connect laptop too tv via hdmi cable does same as boxes but easier too maintain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
