only for UK people to worry about the article seems to detail - I will have to read the reddit Addons4Kodi subreddits for any updates for here in the US

Meh. Most use VPNs now and tbh I don't even use Kodi these days. It's kind of had it's day.

Showbox (or similar)and a IPTV sub are what I use. 

I use PA Hosting for Football, sky box office etc. £50 a year and it has everything, IPTV at its best. 

It can be downloaded off google play store or just google, runs on Android.

There is a facebook group that needs to be joined first.

A VPN won't help if the company actually have your name and address from a paid subscription, although paying for an ACE Hosting IPTV account isn't actually illegal in itself.

This story came from from the Express though so even if I had an Ace Hosting account I wouldn't worry too much. It's not even about Kodi really, the only link to kodi seems to be that ACE also had a kodi addon. The lawyers might send out loads of threatening letters to subscribers in the hope that a few mugs might be scared into coughing up but it's not going to be worth their effort to actually take anybody to court.

I don't have anything under my address or actual name for these things.

IPTV is through a seller I contacted through a message board (I know him) we done it over bitcoin online currency - no details of actual address or name.

Mind you through almost 15 years of downloading, torrents, streaming almost daily I have never received anything at all.

 

Kodi users the best security and access to unlimited streams on the go. Configure our <crap removed> , and start using Kodi the way it is supposed to be.

No thanks!

I just wanted to give you peeps some 411 about using Kodi - yes I know people don't want to use it but in case you still do, this video should help

 

 

@robdog So what's the situation re Kodi - is it completely fried now?

If so what should I use to watch tv, films etc on now?  I used to have Kodi but it seemed to stop working and so I haven't got it anymore.  I do subscribe to Netflix but find it annoying when things aren't on there.

If Kodi is still going, can someone point me in the right direction as to how to reinstall it all?

Bear in mind, I don't talk "tech" so I need a step by step plain-English set of instructions please - none of this talk about VPN, ACE,  IPTV or my head will explode.

seems that vpn is the best approach atm - many people are being targeted by the authorities for developing on kodi - I just goggle what is clever & see if that works

Thanks Robdog - will watch it and educate myself!  (and then probably ask more questions).

 

I’m using Kodi and it works great. The thing is with Kodi you can’t just set it up and install a few add ons to watch TV/films and expect it to work for years on end. There are updates that need to be installed and the add ons come and go and have to be replaced. 

@Beerqueen you don’t say what device you are using. If it’s a FireTV or Fire Stick then you can follow these instruction to install Kodi:

https://troypoint.com/how-to-install-exodus-on-kodi/

After that you’ll need to install add ons to watch streaming content. A good one at the moment for films and TV seems to be Gaia:

Ignore the bit at the start trying to sell you a VPN, that’s just how these sites make money. You probably don’t need one.

 

 

Thanks Bluedave - that's useful.  I will give that a try.

Oh FFS I just noticed that I pasted the wrong link - the first link, to (re)install kodi, should have been this one:

https://troypoint.com/how-to-install-kodi-on-fire-tv/

If you have installed kodi in the past and have already enabled 'apps from unknown sources' and installed the Downloader app, then you could probably skip to step 10.

I'm sorry if my f**k up confused you. It's not that difficult really, it just seems worse when you get bad advice...
