Brummie Hibs Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hoping my T8 arrives tomorrow. Any suggestions on what to install is gratefully accepted! How do I get Netflix (all countries), Amazon, Sky, etc. gratis? Is there a place that keeps up to date, best streams to use for sports and movies?

Brummie Hibs Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 WAYYY!!! My T8 has arrived! Let's try and get this thing set up tonight. The GF better not be wanting to watch Masterchef... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave78 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Let's be fair, the quality is generally perfumed discharge for live sports streaming. Look for HD streams (which you can get easily for £10 a month from NTV). As Parklife (i think) already said, the quality isn't HD, but close to it. Is there a place that keeps up to date, best streams to use for sports and movies? A lot of the good stuff should already be installed, but have a look at this: http://www.htpcbeginner.com/best-kodi-addons-2015-for-cordcutters/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Well getting this T8 set up is not proving to be as easy as hoped. It looks like the droidsticks wizard is not installed, and I can't find he ZIP to do it manually!! Tech support time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your box not come with instructions on how to set it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) No mention of wookie wizard in the two sheets of paper or the youtube videos. Nothing that says wookie installers in video addons or within system settings. Im not going to have a chance to look at this now until Saturday pm.

Parklife Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Do you have a username and password? I'll try and send you set-up instructions via PM tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Do you have a username and password? I'll try and send you set-up instructions via PM tonight. I have an account that I set up on Droidsticks (Entertainmentbox.com) site when I made the purchase. Do I need to log in somewhere on Kodi with this account? Cheers for your assistance.

Parklife Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 EDIT: Just found this: http://kodicommunity.com/how-to-install-the-wookie-wizard-on-kodi/ That's it. Once you get the hang of it and know where to find things, it's excellent. Couple of pieces of advice for watching live sports: For EPL games use the Mega IPTV add-on and select the to NBCSN stream. For general Sky/BT Sports i'd recommend Vdub add-on. I believe Sports Donkey add-on now requires an extra fee (i get it through having had an old droidsticks subscription) and it's probably worth it (one off of £34 i think). You'll get good quality streams of all sky sports & BT sports channels. I have the Live Football TV app on my phone, this tells me what channels every game is on around the world. As often you'll get better streams for games on US channels or Bein Sports. Makes finding things easier. One tip - always shut Kodi down properly (by going to "Quit" & "Shutdown") as just hitting the power off button can reset the wizard, meaning you have to reinstall. Any questions, ping me a PM and i'll try and help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Hibs Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Great information Parky - dying to get this up and running. If it all works good, then another will be getting purchased. Don't mind paying one off fees. I just want to end monthly subscriptions. I'll check out Sports Donkey. Is this the Live Football App: http://www.live-footballontv.com/live-football-on-tv-android-app.html Is there an equivalent for Movies and TV Programmes. If I can demonstrate to 'her indoors' that she can watch Masterchef from any country, at any time, then it makes it easier not having to justify another gadget sitting under the TV.

That's not the App. The app i have is simply called "Live Football TV". It's on iOS. Not sure about Android. There's plenty add-ons for TV shows. THere's a few installed on the wookie wizard that work to varying degrees. I can't mind what ones are the good ones and what ones the bad. I'll have a play about when i get a chance and advise. If you know what you want to watch you can search for the show title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave78 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Sports Donkey looks good. £20 per year according to their website. Think i'll get that when this months NTV sub runs out. BTW, this video says that Sports Donkey is free with boxes from Droidsticks.co.uk, so you may well have it already Brummie Hibs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitre Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Bought my old man one of these last year. Says its his favourite gadget since his Betamax was purchased in 1982. Loves it. If he can work it then it must be shootie in to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Endell Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I didn't realise they were so cheap - because my mate lives in the East End I just assumed it was some sort of knock-off dodgy thing he'd sourced down the Clachan when he told me it was 45 quid.
