So loaded this onto my Fire TV Stick today and have to say I am not impressed, I have a solid 7meg connection, for the most part the movies are fine but live TV is a disaster, everything is blocky. Certainly wouldn't be bothered watching it at this rate. must be something like 240p 480p at the best. You do get the odd HD stream but even they are not guaranteed to be HD

You are very much relying on the quality people put out, and since most of the stuff on there is "put out there" by ordinary people with ordinary internet connections.
It's free, so i guess you cant complain.

Tvcatchup app always looks fine for me for freeview stuff.

Not really after UK TV though. More sports and US TV. Ustv now works fine but it's limited to about 6 stations

Im not saying the quality will be better, but sports devil will certainly increase your range of sports channels and live events.

i was a newbi to kodi/xbmc just before christmas and now i can add repositories easily.

i have channels from all over the world, Sports, Entertainment, Movies and more

Was watching Back to the Future 3 on Fox Movies yesterday. In English with Spanish subs

Go to youtube and get all the add on info there.

As some add ons are maybe not 100% legal i would not install them and cannot promote them here but any individual can.

I agree with everyone else, unless the stream link is the genuine link provided by the networks, you won't see quality decent streams. The only ones I get decent streams from are NBC Sports Network, Big Ten Network, RTE and DR TV.
