I'd be interested to hear how you get on if you don't mind Overthehill.

Yep will do.
When I spoke to these guys they told me they have WiFi beam from Winter hill so if your that side of Pendle it should be available.
Unfortunately I live near Roughlee wrong side, but they are looking at the possibility of picking a WiFi beam which they transmit straight down the M65 corridor. I believe all they due is pop a receiver on the chimney and job done.
Installation is about £200 and includes all the kit needed.
They also do a 30 download and 10 upload at £45 per month and both are unlimited usage.
Sounds to good to be true, no doubt they'll be a catch or the saviour for rural broadband.

I'm In West Yorkshire, on the tops between Hawoth/Oakworth and Laneshawbridge, so the Winter Hill beam probably won't help me either

The good news is that I watched today's games on my TV. The bad news is that All the videos on the internet show different screens to the ones that appear on my kodi that I have somehow got on my TV. I appear to have sportsmania there too but the two have not combined like on my phone. The sportsmania shows the crack screen with a moving image on the left and login subscribe streams etc. When I log in it decides that it cannot play any sport channels. Grrrr!

Question for the kodi experts on here, the latest kodi is kodi 17 Krypton, have you tried it yet? Is it stable and reliable?

I'm currently running Kodi 16.1

Cheers

Perhaps that's why my screens are different to the videos!

Got Kodi 17 on my PC, works well, new interface will need getting used to.

Agreed on the poor quality of the Kodi add-on 1080p streams, cannot compare to blu ray or renting from itunes, it might be 1080p but like all the so called HD torrents very over compressed, watch any dark scene and the artefacting is horrendous. I'm completely cordless for TV but compared to legal options I can't stand the poor quality of the so called 1080p streams. The best I ever found was miss peregrines ... The problem being it was dubbed in french. I've been watching the HD versions of live streams of UK channels on ultimate mania and even they are better quality. Can't beat a bit of Saturday morning kitchen on a Saturday evening.

For me can't beat itunes, Amazon and Netflix, I'm on a 1gbps connection but it's throttled for foreign servers, max I can get on the BBC server is 3 Mbps so anything on servers closer to me are preferential.

Do you have sportsmania on kodi 17? It doesn't want to install from the repository for me.
