Kodi and Live TV

[colink98]

i have a few Kodi boxs in the bedrooms.
only really used them to stream off a media server (MKVs)

im keen to start removing the mass of cables in the house and im curious to know if kodi deals with live Tv and if so how well ?

Cheers

Filmon is pretty stable

Haven't used it a great deal but yes it seems fine. Is it that difficult for you to hook-up a freeview box though? I'm using an indoor TV aerial, and can pick-up all the channels without a booster on this particular box.

I use a box partly for the HD channels (my TV's from before they launched freeview HD), but also because the built-in freeview on my TV's a c**t to get a good signal with. Aerial + booster + perfect aerial position and I can get all the channels but the right freeview box's in my experience a lot less of a headache. Mine was £30 from Argos btw.

I can always stream films/shows in 1080p no problem, but still can't stream live TV without constant buffering. Terrestrial channels are slightly better but I would not stream live TV if I could help it.

BBC, ITV are usually fine, but sky, sports, anything non-terrestrial I've always struggled with despite having 35meg speed.

That's due to demand, it's like with the Sky F1 channel, streams fine outside of race weekends but grinds to a halt when everyone tries to watch the race.
