    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 .

    Sky sports is one of those few programs that you really should go to the pub and watch the live action on the big screen in HD or buy Sky.

    Online streams are OK for not quite so important matches but they don't do justice to the big matches.

    It's rare for a live stream to be in HD so either visit pub or buy Sky and pay in excess of £45 per month. £45 a month is about £10 a week and could buy 3 pints in the pub so that's my preferred option.

  • I've got an M8 Android Quad CoreSmart PC TV Box wifi 5G 4K KIT KAT HD 3D KodiTV box and I installed Kodi Isengard on it a few weeks back when the new stable release came out, I bloody love it for watching all the latest movies on and loads of TV channels too :D I highly recommend buying one, make sure you have a good Broadband package as it needs a god signal to run things through.

    Or you can pay ~£15 per month for a DNS change and premier league pass and watch every premier league game in perfect quality on your android box :)

    That's for premier league only however, there are so many available for free. Do a little bit of googling/youtube search and you'll find all the information you need.
