    Android box runs android os and can be used in a similar way to a tablet/ smartphone without the phone feature .

    When you get one, you won't bother trying to watch Sky's film channels using it because there are so many streams offering far more recent films.

    Whats the difference between an Android TV box and the Skybox F5s?

    Android TV box streams all it's TV from internet sources, a skybox f5s gets all it's TV from a satellite source.

    probably best to start with TVMC the pre loaded version of Kodi as its easier to find your way around .

    Does anyone know how easy it is to uninstall repos/addons?
    As long as you follow a guide (such as the very easy seo-michael ones posted above), then you should be able to do it.

    The first time you do it, you think "How can this process be so needlessly complicated?!"

    The second time it will be a little easier.

    One month later when one of the addons breaks, you will have forgotten how to do it and go back to using the guide again.

    It's a long drawn-out affair, but if you have a good set of instructions to follow, it's easy enough to do.

    I ran a Kodi test yesterday on live sports sk 1 channel via various sources .Input speed 20meg .
    24 sources had no stream .
    10 sources had a stream of sometimes watch able quality other times buffered and pixelated .Only 2 streams where reasonable but from my tests as sports is live and moving the quality is nowhere near as good as a straight straightforward video thats pre recorded .
