Picked up a Roku 3 recently for a few quid second hand to shove in the spare room where there isn't an aerial. What a brilliant piece of kit. If anyone else has one what are the best private channels worth adding? I stumbled across Film On which has a lot of the live tv channels on it. The quality isn't HD but well watchable. Anything else worth a watch?
I have a Roku, and also v. pleased with it as a device, but after initially spending ages adding a load of channels, I find that I only bother with Netflix, the catch-up services and occasionally YouTube.
Oddly enough I added a load of channels that sounded great but having looked at the content have got rid of them. The nowhere man stuff is good though. It feels like a better, easier version of kodi with access to streams straight away rather than searching and choosing streams. Just need to find a good sports streaming one. Got a very good free adult one :biggrin:Quote:

you can also side load a app onto the Now TV box by going into the admin controls
Pretty sure that is only Plex that you can sideload at present?Quote:

For side loading apps onto my amazon fire box I use a program on my laptop called abdfire. Brilliant free software that runs all the cmd commands for you.
Buy a fire stick search the web kodi and firestick and boom best £35 you will ever spend
What am I missing with Kodi?? I can never find a decent stream for live games without having to try about 50 links. Eventually find a watchable one and it starts to freeze and buffer. Then I just give up as the BBC scores come through faster than the game I am meant to be watching live. What am I doing wrong??Quote:

They never remain reliable so you do have to keep updating them (I use reddits kodi forum to see what people are using) I haven't used it in a while but my previous reliable HD streams were njm soccer, Adrian sport, castaway and bulldog streams. Other than sport you only really need salts and exodus for all the TV and film you could want.Quote:

Then once I get something it freezes up. I will have another look at it as I have a droid box hooked up to the main tv and don't use it as much as I should.Quote:
