My quality is far better through an android box than it ever was through a laptop.
Not a lot different to Sky HD tbh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have an android box wookie have an app where the upload fixtures, channel & where to find them.
Also on thier build they have the fixture running across top of screen on kodi
will this change what i have now, dont like changing things
just bought an m8s android box yesterday, son in law wiped it and put new build on it called pulse, so far have just been skipping through the add ons one that seems hd quality is dc sports, had firestick before this and streams were pretty poor quality and used to watch games on pc through aceplayer which were hd , does anyone know if the android box will be as good as acestream, would appreciate comments on this
Wookie is the bomb, no doubt.
Look on here...

The whole site is dedicated to getting the best from Kodi. Essential reading.
but why would i want to unistall and reinstall wookie that would be too stressful for me i think
Really useful thread. Bought a Kodi box recently and have used it for films but watching the Spurs games was the main purpose. Interested in the comments about vpn. Can someone explain what's required for this and how you set it up?
I have a zgemma box which doesn't stream, it just replaces my virgin box and gives me every channel virgin can offer including ppv. I also have iptv through my Samsung smart TVs which I pay £75 a year for someone to put me through their server and that offers me over 3000 channels and films including 3pm kicks offs at HD TVs quality. Streaming is only decent in my opinion if u pay to go through a server rather than just have the same as everyone else irrespective of your internet speed

----------------------------------------------------------------------
OK.
A VPN is required, depending on geographic location in order to watch what you want.
Some ISPs, SKY in particular need to protect their investments, so they have software that tracks the sites which host/stream the football or films. They then block you from accessing that site.
A VPN hides what site you are visiting, so SKY are only aware of you accessing the VPN server. You can also access sites that are blocked from UK based servers.
There are many free ones all you need to do is go onto your pc or mobile device, search for VPNs and subscribe to the one you like.
On the VPN host's site will be instructions how to download the software onto your device; that device can be your mobile, pc and/or Android device (Kodi box)
You can then access the web on your Kodi box, download the VPN software and hey-presto. There are options on some where you can even choose the location of the server you want to connect to.
This is also good if you want to buy goods, say from non-UK Amazon, that they can't sell in the UK due to laws/restrictions.
Have fun
If you have a smart TV, as Stop in and tidy up said, you can subscribe for a year and get the SKY and BT football schedules.

It's generally not much of an issue on Virgin. Generally with streaming it's always gonna fall short of a proper sky package to a lesser or greater extent. However if expectations are tempered, then some folk find it really good. Remember most of us have spent much of our lives watching football on low resolution CRT tellys.

Give it a go without a VPN.
There are some great free VPNs, limited for the deviants out there, but fantastic for watching streamed sports. Cyber Ghost is a popular one.
https://www.bestvpn.com/best-free-vpn-july-2016/
Remember, to help you sleep at night, it is not illegal.
The person who is steaming the media is being naughty, but it is not illegal to watch streamed content.
"to help you sleep at night, it is not illegal"
But just to disrupt your sleep a little, taking something that you should pay for for nothing is known as stealing.

Completely agree and the copyright owner (SKY in this instance) should do more to stop the deviants uploading their material onto the internet. They are the ones that are stealing.
SKY are well aware that if something is on the internet it is completely legal to watch it. They are well aware that you, the viewer are not breaking any law, whatsoever.
Recording it is a different matter.
