    Any recommendations please, and are they all cracked up to what they're supposed to be, by that I mean Getting all channels and good quality sounds and pictures. I remember a thread on here about this a few weeks ago but didn't read it all. TIA

    Raspberry pi 2 with kodi is excellent. Been watching Game of Thrones in 1080p over last few days via the Gennesis addon.

    Not really. You need to install software on it. Then you need to add the channels you want. Easy enough, but just buying an android box won't tell you how to do it

    They're legal to own. Up to you how you configure to receive channels that are being illegally streamed.

    I'll have a look at that. Might need an upgrade, now they stopped supporting Apple TV

    Tbh I'd wipe any $hit that comes preinstalled. Just add fusion, then choose the repos you want. All I have on mine is icefilms and digitele sports..

    Yes. Courts have ruled it's not illegal to stream but if you download the content then that is illegal

    I've got icefilms pre installed but I can't seem to find anything through it so I need to take a closer look at it. Only had it a day so not had chance to really play around yet. I think I will be deleting a lot of the pre installed stuff though.

    What mark said. Fully recommend installing iptv stalker, over 600 channels uk and us. All sky sports and movies, will become a paid subscription service at some point but had it for 3 months now. Once they know the servers can handle the usage it will go to paid and get Ivue to go with it. Ivue is a tv guide and is brilliant. Anyone wanting to drop sky or virgin might want to look at a paid iptv service can get near enough full sky package for £9.00 a month on some of them
