For People That Dont Have Foxtel

Hey guys

I live in NZ and got myself an Android TV box as I don't have Sky(Foxtel). This thing just connects to the Wifi or just a straight Ethernet cable to the modem. Aslong as you have unlimited downloads you should have no issues.

Just had a look on Tradingpost.com.au and search Android Tv Box. The first one that popped up is $70. All you need to make sure is that it is loaded with the program Kodi. Kodi has a whole lot of other program with in it. Pheonix Sports/ Zem tv is where I go to find the league, you just need to try and find Premier TV which has all the League games live including Tests and SOO. I will be watching the Horn Vs Pacqiao fight tomorrow.

Apart from the league you can find all different sports from all over the world like NFL, EPL, UFC, NBA etc. just have to be patient at first until you get used to it and getting to know where to find things to begin with.

Within Kodi is another program called Exodus which gets you all movies and all TV series. At the moment just on to the final series of Suits. It has all the series like Game of Thrones, Sopranos, Black List, Braking Bad, etc

I have had this for just over a year and have only had the initial outlay of the Android TV box, there are no monthly charges or subscriptions apart from your internet. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE UNLIMITED INTERNET.

Another thing is that you can download the Kodi app on your phone and be able to stream live games on it too.

Hopefully this helps anyone that's interested.

Cheers

    Brilliant bit of IT wiz there mate. Tooks was like that too! He also only ever wanted to play for the Gold Coast and live in NZ after he made a name for himself at Parra.

    • Haha no Big Tooks here. Im a born and bred Sydney boy, been living in NZ for the past 6 years. Living the dream champion

    • We have

      Foxtel
      Netflix
      Optus Fetch TV and all channels

      Spread through various TVs in the house .



      My good mate reckons I'm an idiot spending money on these because I'm forever winging about how much of a rip off they are .

      My mates a also guru on these Kodi things and has been telling me for ages to get one . I've downloaded the Kodi thing on the laptop once and found it that confusing I reckon I'd have more luck landing a NASA spacecraft , but he tells me the pre populated boxes are easy .

      Today , hung over as a muthafucker in bed and he's telling me he's watching the fights on his Kodi box I'm spewing I haven't got one . So right now this very second I'm about to get on eBay and grab one so I'll report back to you Mack whether it's any good or whether the box is out the window and sitting on the front lawn .
  • Ive had kodi for ages, but they are starting to close all the add ons now and getting very frustrating to use
  • Kodi Nikormia isn't much chop IMO. 

  • Hey Wiz

    When you get one just jump on youtube and search for How to watch sports on Kodi. There are plenty of videos and plenty of add ons. Its all about trial and error. Quick question, if you have a Smart TV that can download app you can just download the app straight onto your TV without buying a box

    • We have the smart TV but I've got no idea how to populate the Kodi thingy . I tried it on the laptop , that's why I thought I'd just buy a box today and have it all pre done for me when I unpack it . That's how those EBay ones work yeah ?
  • Why don't you just buy the kodi box
  • Thanks Fui , you might not disapprove but I sure do . I'm going to get onto my eBay seller and cancel my order immediately. I must say I was absolutely ecstatic when our government blocked us from all the torrent sites so actors huge salaries could keep on rising and us mere mortals could continue to pay 300% more than our American pals for our viewing entertainment.

    Na but seriously ....I wouldn't steal a handbag , I wouldn't steal a television , but I sure as fuck have no qualms with stealing content off the World Wide Web ( evil laugh ) . These fuckers are robbing us blind with the prices we get slogged over here , even our NETFLIX is only half loaded , FOXTEL is dead set rape and even ITunes here is 5x more . When we are on a level playing field then maybe I'll develop some kind of moral compass , but until then I'm going to carry on feeling like it's my entitlement to lie and cheat my way around " the man " . ( btw I know you were just giving a heads up )

    P.s - a bit of useless information . Do you know the people who made that ad ( you wouldn't steal a handbag , you wouldn't steal a purse etc , piracy ITS A CRIME ) , were actually sued because that music / tune they used in the as was actually stolen and used in the piracy ad without permission . Now how fuckkin funny is that !
  • I've bought one of these Kodi boxes and have been fucking around with it for a week . It's gunna end up out on the road very fuckig shortly . I recommend anyone who is planning on just buying a pre loaded box of EBay and then all your issues in life are no more to think again . What a fucking shitcunt of a thing these are . Now I pretty much have nothing more than a very expensive way of accessing Facebook on a tv that could already access Facebook .
