I use Amazon firestick. Cheap and I've not had any problems. I never get lag or buffering and I don't even know how to empty my cache so that's never been done lol.
I've been adding subreddits to The Prosports addon. Mostly HD sports, it's main links are to NFL, NHL, MLB, and NBA. However, I looked up if you can add more, and you can. You go and click on Subreddits(these are the ones I know so far): and add/type in "MMASTREAMS", and "NCAABSTREAMS" for college basketball. "CFBSTREAMS" for college football. I'll go check if there's a soccer one for you guys across the pond, there should be...
The best device for Kodi and similar apps, according to many sources, is the Nvidia Shield console. For under a $100, FireTV and Firestick. I'll post some antutu scores, which is speed/proficiency...

I'm considering the fire tv. My TV is 4k
Clearly my Internet connection in central Maine is the issue
I'm streaming animal planet right now on live mix and keep buffering. I get 15mbs down and 1 up. Guess it's just not enough. There is a new speed offered here now
25meg down 2 up. Is it my connection or the feed in your opinion?
Edit just cleared cache and packages btw

Makes me think stream. I can watch 4k YouTube and Netflix videos...
The developers say at least 10-15 mbps of speed is ideal. 15 should be fine, beyond that it's the device...

Hadn't considered the device being the problem. Raspberry pi is Def lacking in speed. Stream just dropped. Guess it's time to upgrade!

Great show but I kinda lost interest when I caught up and had to start waiting for new episodes. I'll catch up again sometime
Binge watched Bates motel in like 3 weeks. Now have to wait for new episodes there as well :/
It looks like a good show, maybe the zombie thing's just a little played out with me. It's on the list, but down the list ya know...

But zombies don't even play that much into the story line anymore. People are the danger now, zombies are like an annoying distraction from all the shit that's going on with all the different groups of survivors. Every now and again the zombies make a big appearance.
Just watching the way humans are towards each other in them circumstances is what I enjoy about the walking dead. How the characters evolve and guessing whose gonna die next is the best part.
I'm the same,hate waiting week to week. Rather just smash the whole season in 2 weeks.
I'm watching so much crap at the moment I get confused with plots and what characters said what in which show haha.
My favourite at moment is trailer park boys,can't believe I hadn't watched it before.
Gave Beowulf Shieldlands a go...it was ok, but the beast in the beginning had CGI that was meh...you know like how Sci-Fi channel's CGI is terrible lol. Also, watched Goosebumps with my youngest, and pretty good, but CGI was lacking. It's like C'mon, it's 2016, that shit needs to look real...
Have your kids(and you) seen the adventures of Tintin movie? Spielberg directed it. My boy really liked it, just as much as goonies and indy.
Also wanted to give a huge thumbs up to M4U addon!
