Although it seems to still be in development stages. You need the 4mtester from Shani's repo to watch, it's in Fusion's international repo list...latest v 2.2.5

That does look promising.

TSN's are working at least. SportsNet wasn't last night anyway. They have NFL or NCAAFB on SN up there? I don't know why you guys don't have a couple NFL teams...London's going to get one

Nothing as of yet. If one does come here it would be in Toronto. I got the local morning news which i have been looking for. The global link was spotty at best but the ctv one was gold.

Trying to watch a jays game on sportsnet pacific right now and it is lag city. This is the channel set i am after though. This one and a good movie/tv app and im good to go. Its the reliability that i seem to be having an issue with.

There's tons of repos out there, I've been reading more into using kodi lately.
It's tough to find great live tv streams, but doable.
I just keep trying diff links via diff repos until I find one I like.
I'm about 85/40 Mbs dl/ul here, my speed is dope af.
It's the other end of e stream that usually screws me.
Phoenix repo has a lot of good shit, live tv sports are real good quality in there.
I can't get that ak47 repo to work for me at all, but looks good.
I really just dl about every repo I can and run ru them to see what works for me or not.

My only complaint is I can't record anything using the fire stick.
If I get a tuner card for my PC and run kodi on that I could.

Wow this one looks up there, if not better than Exodus. Seems to be a 1080p for every movie: Zen TV....here's the url for your file manager http://schism-tv.net/repo ....Looks like Lambda was involved in this one, who's one of the big developers...

What is the name of the new box with the same chip as the shield? Ive pretty much accepted that my box is incapable of playing live hd anything. If i search, i can find good sd streams which is certainly doable but id prefer the hd. I think i need to put this cheap box in the bedroom for on demand and get either a better streaming box or a dedicated media center pc.

Mad Catz Mojo....The box isn't going to make much of difference, live hd buffers on my Shield...

Fucking pro sport repo doesn't work anymore :(
Only place I knew of to get replays on games.
Plenty places to stream live tho.

Welcome tcs, the best device for Kodi right now, is the Nvidia Shield Tv console($200). Smooth running ones under $100 are Minix boxes, Mad Catz Mojo(has Shield's chip), and under $50 M8's or MXQ's. Just pop Android tv boxes or the name of one, into an Amazon or Ebay search. DO NOT buy a "fully loaded" device, those are outdated and full of garbage you dont want. Only buy a brand new raw device. When it comes, allow unknown sources in settings, download kodi from google play store/ or Kodi's site, and install Fusion to get started. Make sure you watch some you-tube videos relating to the device you choose, and installing Fusion. Fusion's wizard will give you the major addons instantly. There's a shit ton of other addons that are great, but get started with that, get you those later...:tiphat:
