No because the free streams are 99 percent ****. You spend 10 mins finding a good link, then it buffers, rinse repeat.

Go on YouTube and search "load sportsmania onto kodi". You get many options, check a few out.

Look at the guide on the sportsmania website, it's very straightforward.

Sportsmania is no longer accepting new signupds following today. HOWEVER you can still sign up for sportsnation or ultimatemania and get the same service as they are sister sites to sportsmania.

Its just a different add on you install but run by the same people.

It is my understanding that the reason sportsmania is stopping at present is because of the software that they are using to run the site which is not working as expected and they rely on 3rd parties to resolve some of the issues - if a load of people log in at the same time it can crash which is what has happened a couple of occasions recently. They assure us that they are not even anywhere near capacity from a server perspective.

Any buffering is almost usually down to the user end. Whether it be poor wifi quality, lack of RAM in a device or poor maintenance of the device.

Its well worth the £1 a week...even if there are slight hiccups every now and then.

If you miss out signing up today - you can still access their service through the above named sister sites.

Have they stopped taking subscriptions do you know ?

Does anybody know that if you subscribe to sportsnation do you just use your log on id and password to get on Sportsmania add on via Kodi ?

As far as I understand Sportsmania are not taking on new subscribers but sportsnation is their sister site ?

Thanks Dom - that gives me the answer.
New add on to Kodi needed.

Let's hope it's as good as Sportsmania - should be from the sounds of it.

claretdom · Post by **claretdom** » Wed Feb 08, 2017 10:54 am

Yeah would think so seems just the server and add on is different

Any one else experiencing subscription problems?

Hi, just tried to signup to sportsnation but got kicked out after I had put in all details and got to the final screen. Does anyone know if, like sportsmania, they have stopped new subscribers?

claretdom · Post by **claretdom** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 7:54 am

There is an issue with the company who processes the payments as of last night I saw a few replies by them on twitter possibly still ongoing.

Stan8 · Post by **Stan8** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:35 am

Yes I tried to subscribe last night same problem is it easy to put on to kodi ?

TheOriginalLongsider · Post by **TheOriginalLongsider** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 8:53 am

It's easy. Just google how to do it

Stan8 · Post by **Stan8** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 10:54 am

Done was easy just need the payment thing to sort it self out

Brilliant service, had it since August, only had 1 issue at christmas when far too many new subscribers overloaded their servers

MarkGreen · Post by **MarkGreen** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 4:48 pm

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the amount of logins, for example could i watch a stream and give my old man the details to login too?

PaintYorkClaretnBlue · Post by **PaintYorkClaretnBlue** » Thu Feb 23, 2017 4:52 pm

No, don't do that as you'll get kicked off it and banned. It's only £50, buy your old man one.

Is that what it is, a news pack?

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 12:57 pm

Yes that's right, Claptrappers. I signed up on sportsnationhd the other day. Will decide over the next few weeks if it's good enough to cancel sky sports.

burnley007 · Post by **burnley007** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 2:14 pm

I subscribed to Sportsnation this week. Any tips on how to watch the match?

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 2:21 pm

Not tried yet but assume from looking after putting it on Kodi that you simply open the app and select either the calendar or the epl match day options (we are showing in epl match day section 1).

steve_f · Post by **steve_f** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 2:48 pm

You can either view it via kod and the tvaddon, or download the matrix browser from the app store I devices or the play store android devices, works a treat.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 3:06 pm

Well it's definitely better than the free streams but early viewing suggests it's certainly not HD / like watching via SKY.

More like HD lite - not bad on close ups but a tad juddery for longer range cameras.

Did you choose the HD links ? There are HQ and SD streams as well.

Considering I was paying a damn fortune I can live with that.

Watched on Mama today through a firestick, and even that was ok, Ive just ordered a box so I can direct ethernet and will get SportsNation when its all installed

chocolatestarfish · Post by **chocolatestarfish** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 5:26 pm

For the price, service and support it is bang on. New android app released and any issues are dealt with quickly. Their FB page is great for updates and any info they want to release.

Try the .ADRIAN. Add on.

Usually has HD links for all major sports channels in the world on 24/7 sports section.

But only on my phone...I think I need a new box, any recommendations??

The HD links, although HD resolution, aren't always that high in terms of bit rate.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 6:00 pm

It isn't HD, I don't care what anyone says or whether it's labelled as such.

However it is very good quality. I've had to stop using it on the firestick though as it was constantly stuttering - clearly a firestick problem because it works perfectly fine through a web browser.

Fire TV £79 Argos. UHD version.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 6:08 pm

Yes, I selected the HD link. It wasn't HD.

I was expecting an HD picture after all the comments on here, but there is no way that can be called HD. If I got that sort of quality through SKY HD, I'd be ringing up to complain.

I'm not suggesting it isn't watchable, it's very good for fifty quid but there is no way I will be ditching SKY. It's just a good option for 3pm games that you couldn't normally watch live.

The options from entertainmentbox are good, recommended by someone on here and I've been pleased with the box I got.

Mayoclaret · Post by **Mayoclaret** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 6:10 pm

I think the point is that this"service" does provides something that nobody else offers - every PL match live in excellent quality - at a "cost" of £1 per week. It has enabled me to watch Burnley matches from afar - without buffering and in certainly very much better than SD quality. Does what it says on the tin for me.

Agreed, it is also good for BT Sports which I don't want to pay for and PPV boxing.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 6:12 pm

Exactly, Riley.

I'll be trying it for boxing next week for the first time.

cloughyclaret · Post by **cloughyclaret** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 6:17 pm

Me too - tried before on the firestick and it was useless ( I did have a terrible build on it though). Looking forward to it next week. I've paid way too many £16 before now.

And the thing I hate most about 'paid for' PPV? They run adverts - the pond life have the gall to run countless adverts throughout.
