Sorry to butt in, but I am also thinking of getting a new box for viewing new shows. On the android box mentioned, what type of shows do you get on it? Do you get drama/boxsets/film/history etc loaded onto to the box? I am just starting my research into android boxes and know nothing about them. I can't find anything about the actual tv shows you get. And are the shows you get a mixture of previously shown ones (that may have been shown on freeview for eg), as well as more up to date shows/films?

Thanks.

On Exodus add on you can get pretty much anything. UK Turk has a lot of classic stuff on there as well. Don't bother buying pre loaded, they'll be full of rubbish and half the add ons wont work, just buy one with a fresh Kodi install and install whatever add ons you want yourself.

Kodi itself is just an app and nothing to do with the box/stick you buy
People sell the boxes pre-loaded with kodi for a premium
I would do as eddtheduck suggested and try it on your PC/Laptop first to see if you like it first before buying anything
Personally, I started using it about 8 years ago on an Apple TV1 box and it has come on leaps and bounds since then (Kodi was previously called XBMC)
For music and TV it is the best thing since sliced bread and you can watch/listen to almost anything you want on it.....Yes, almost anything
Yes, sports-wise it can be frustrating at times but adequate (I watched Kell Brook and Everton on it recently)

Thanks mikeeb!

I have some catching up to do to get acquainted with Kodi. I have downloaded it and I'm jsut exploring it atm. People much more experienced than me will just get on it and watch!

It takes a bit of getting used to gep
The best app is phoenix
Type install phoenix kodi into Google and follow the link to seo.michael
As I said it takes bit of getting used to but it is worth it

If you're using a PC with Windows then you can already try it and experiment before buying a stick or box:

The best addon for TVs and movies I've found is Exodus:

There's plenty of demos of what it looks like on Youtube:
