    Not sure if the stick works exactly the same, but on the Nexus I just have to install a sports add-on.

    Here's the guide for installing ProSport. It gets easier after you've done it a couple times.

    https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-install-kodi-pro-sport-add-on/

    Open Kodi
    Select SYSTEM > File Manager
    Select Add Source
    Select None
    Type the following EXACTLY http://fusion.tvaddons.ag and select Done
    Highlight the box underneath Enter a name for this media Source & type fusion
    Select OK
    Go back to your Home Screen
    Select SYSTEM
    Select Add-Ons
    Select Install from zip file
    Select fusion
    Select xbmc-repos
    Select english
    Select repository.podgod-x.x.zip
    Wait for Add-on enabled notification
    Select Install from repository or Get Add-Ons on Helix
    Select podgod repo
    Select Video Add-Ons
    Select Pro Sport
    Select Install
    Wait for Add-on enabled notification
    Pro Sport is now installed and as usual the add-on can be accessed via VIDEOS > Add-Ons > Pro Sport from your home screen.

    Did you get yours yet? My tracking has been the same for 6 days that it is being prepared to be shipped from China. It arrived at the facility on the 14th.

    Is anyone else getting crappy buffering on Exodus? Keeps saying my cache is full but I've cleared it on the app and on Kodi.

    Anyone wanna send me a secret repo they might know of or a good IPTV stalker:cool:?

    There's a beer in it for you.

    Got my box yesterday, set it up with SpinzTv Premium Lite, zero issues so far, runs smoothly, we'll see if it'll last

    Can y'all use Kodi to live stream Rockets games? And how reliable is it?

    Yes, but it often sucks. Not very reliable. Sometimes you get a good stream, but it'll still crash/freeze and not be the greatest quality.

    Shucks. What about after the fact? Is there a good app for streaming games from previous days?

    (RIP ballstreams)

    They had free streams last season and it was outstanding, their NFL streams have been great for the ones you see in Reddit threads. There isn't a clear cut donation amount, I'm going to try $60 Amazon Card before the season starts, which I would think that is good enough. I'm part of their newsletter email group and last email they mentioned they'll have a Kodi and Roku app ready before start of season.

    EDIT: looks like their NBA access is 18 weeks at a time, which is pretty much only 1/2 season if you count Preseason all the way to the finals. Maybe $50 is good enough for 18 week access, if I remember correctly, it was like $12/month for Ballstreams?

    For me BS was $80 per year for everything. It was too good to last I suppose.

    I got mine and liking it so far. Able to watch any movies and was able to find every NFL game pretty easily. Working on getting Rom Collection Browser working right but has been a little bit of a pain. I need to get an extra mouse to use with the box but really easy to use and no setup needed except to add more streams.

    OK just bought the Xaomi Mi Box. Can someone tell me what I need to do to become a Kodi master? Never used it before.

    Just dropping in to vouch for hehestreams.

    Crystal clear, smooth streams, 24/7 NBA TV and an archive that goes back to 2012(!!!!!!)

    The only negative I've found is that there is no DVR functionality for chromecast (though the quality is spectacular)

    The person/thing who runs the place is eccentric. Take that as you will

    Kodi/Roku support is apparently coming

    Signup requires an Amazon gift card or bitcoin. I won't say how much i "donated", but Dave's estimate was generous

    If you're interested, you can PM me for a referral link in order to extend access (at least) 2-3 weeks free

    The guy who runs it is a humongous douchenozzle. I'd rather deal with streams than support that prick.

    Get in on the pryramid early folks.

    It took 2 1/2 years last time. I expect it to last half as soon.

    Just got Kodi on my firetv stick for my bedroom TV. Love it so far. I can watch pretty much what I want to.

    I still have full cable on my living room and if Kodi continues to impress me, I may just cut the cord with AT&T U-Verse
