work mates have been on about codi , so i bit the bullet and bought a box , the remote that comes with it is pretty crap , i spend ages trying to spell but I can see the out a name so I bought a keyboard , I am waiting on that , but I can see the benefits , my son has something similar so he has been helping me navigate round the apps , hopefully I can  get through the dross to get to what I want , any thing to reduce the Sky bill , any one else on here got a box

I've had a Kodi box for over 12 months and saved a fortune in films etc. I use one of these and find it very easy to navigate much better that the little one which comes with the original box.

I have an android TV so I installed Kodi on that. Kodi is a PITA to set up the first time you do it (vids how to on youtube), one can of course buy Kodi enabled boxes that are already Fully Loaded

 

I also sideloaded Mobdro (any android device/phone and maybe cast to TV instead, vids how to on youtube) and then installed HAL to open Mobdro (vids how to on youtube). Mobdro is a PoP to use - simples  May drop out occasionally and updates are frequent.

 

I also, ahem, hear one can stream from www.thedaretelly.com and even when the site says the movie/box-set/show has been deleted just click on Extra Links and the stuff you wanted is probably available. Sometimes quality is poor but is generally good.

 

As for YIFY-torrent.org, I hear if the torrent link doesn't work, use the Magnet instead to get your movie

 

ALL at your OWN risk. If ya aint competent/confident get the kid who's dad/brother etc. used to sell fully functioning Sky Boxes

Might depend on the device you're running it on (I have Kodi on a Raspberry Pi), but the Yatse remote on an android phone does a great job of controlling it.

I have a usb hard drive attached to the Pi and use it to stream video and audio files from the drive to the telly, plus occasional youtube vids and the Ted Talks app is great http://kodicommunity...tall-ted-talks/

 

Genesis is supposed to be good for streaming video of dubious legality if you're in to that kind of thing.

I use Mobdro for MotoGP - drops out occasionally but way better than trying to view it with Kodi
