There's a thread on the rb that actually has a lot of good info for kodi based shit. I'm going to try this later and will report back. If someone wants to do this in the mean time.... go for it I've finally gotten to a point where I feel confident posting a live tv "how to". Before I do that, I want to emphasize not to post the channel links anywhere else. As soon as links get out to the masses, they get pulled down. I scoured the internet for these links for tMB use so let's keep it that way. It's a straight forward process and should only take about 10-15 minutes total. 1) Install the SuperRepo repository: http://kodicommunity.com/how-to-install-the-superrepo-repository-on-kodi/ 2) Install the Playlist Loader (use the link for steps 1-11): http://kodicommunity.com/how-to-setup-playlist-loader-install-iptv-lists-on-kodi/ 3) Once you're on step 12, use the following URL: http://pastebin.com/xcaBAPBs 4) Select the playlist that was just added. All the channels sorted by HD and SD. HD Channels (720p and/or 1080p) included: AMC, BTN, Bravo, CNN, Fox News, FX, Golf Channel, HBO Plus, NBCSN, NFL Network, NFL Now, NFL Redzone (not tested, need live games to test), PAC-12 Network (Arizona, Bay Area, Los Angeles, Mountain, Oregon, Washington), TNT, TruTV One last thing, all of the links in the playlist have been tested to work. However, I have had some channels work intermittently. Enjoy!
Just to clarify - that was taken from the rb and I havent tried to set it up yet. So I wouldn't get too excited unless we can verify it. edit - rv12 nice. Well it looks good to go then.
Is there a way to batch add them? I added FX and NFL network individually by http and mine aren't working. Kind of a pain in the ass to do with my firestick remote. Any advice?
That NFLN stream is still working on iOS. Did we have a Redzone active link? I'm trying to dig through the reddit threads.
Apple TV update, of sorts http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/09/0...opes-to-camp-in-your-home.html?_r=0&referrer= Spoiler The New York Times[/paste:font] SUBSCRIBE LOG IN Personal Tech[/paste:font] With a Revamped Apple TV, Company Hopes to Camp in Your Home Apple is finally getting serious about pushing into our living rooms. That ambition will be underlined at an Apple event in San Francisco on Wednesday, when the company plans to unveil an upgraded Apple TV, a device similar to a set-top box that brings video and music from the Internet to a television, according to people briefed on the product. The upgrade, the first in three years, will expand Apple TV’s uses in gaming, including a redesigned remote control with a touch pad that can double as a game controller, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Importantly, the new device will include support for apps and games made by independent software developers. The revamped device will share the event spotlight with Apple’s biggest moneymaker, the iPhone. The company once called Apple TV a “hobby,” as it accounts for less than 5 percent of sales, so the prominent billing this time highlights the aim of transforming the device into a multipurpose entertainment product for homes. The move will thrust Apple deeper into a competitive market where few, including Apple, have made headway. While the living room has been something of a holy grail for many tech companies, with Sony rolling out its PlayStation game console, Microsoft the Xbox console and Amazon introducing home devices like the Amazon Echo, few can claim to have become the go-to for online services in residences. Apple TV itself has long languished. Apple unveiled the product in 2007, but its offerings were not as thorough as what people could get with cable subscriptions. A recent Forrester Research survey found that only 19 percent of online adults in the United States were interested in or already used an Apple TV. “The most important thing about the Apple TV announcement is it becomes a broader utility box,” said Peter Csathy, the chief executive of the media consulting firm Manatt Digital Media. “Then it can ultimately become the Trojan horse for all kinds of services in the home that, in turn, let Apple sell more hardware.” Apple declined to comment on the new Apple TV or other details of the coming event. Several online publications earlier reported on the Apple TV and other products expected on Wednesday. Building up more of a presence in the home is important for Apple as it seeks growth from new avenues. The company relies on the iPhone for the majority of its revenue and profit, and Timothy D. Cook, Apple’s chief executive, has broadened product lines into wearables with the Apple Watch and new services such as Apple Pay and Apple Music. More diversification gives Apple a large number of ways to hook customers into its ecosystem of products, software and services. Timothy D.

KEVORK DJANSEZIAN / GETTY IMAGES For years, Apple focused more on partnerships with TV studios and other content makers to bring programs to Apple TV and its mobile devices. The company this year announced an exclusive deal with HBO to bring HBO Now, an app that lets users stream HBO’s programming without a cable subscription,to the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.Apple has also held talks with several leading television groups to offer an Internet-based TV service for its iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, but the service will not be ready for an announcement next week, according to people briefed on the talks. Apple also hinted at more serious television ambitions in 2013 when it hired a Hulu executive, Pete Distad, to work on Apple TV. At Hulu, Mr. Distad oversaw content distribution and subscription initiatives. Now the focus has expanded to more than TV content. The Apple TV’s support for apps and games made by third-party software developers as well as the redesigned remote control could broaden the device’s appeal to make it more of a competitor to the Xbox, the PlayStation and the Nintendo Wii U. “More interesting than content deals is what happens in the app store,” said Ben Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies. “Now that Apple TV is a software development platform, developers can now write for a 40-inch screen. That will immediately bring more interesting content and apps to the device, which is at this point more compelling than trying to cut a bunch of content deals.” Apple is also raising the price of the device to $149 from $69, which puts pressure on the company to deliver expanded capabilities that go beyond what Apple TV and its rivals now offer. All of this doesn’t mean that Apple won’t also focus on the iPhone on Wednesday. As is now tradition each September, the company plans to introduce new versions of the smartphone, with a higher quality camera and a capability known as Force Touch, which lets users control some of the software by exerting pressure on the touch screen, according to people familiar with the products. Apple will also showcase updated iPads, according to a person briefed on the product. And the company is putting the finishing touches on a revamped iPad keyboard that may be available by the end of the year. Other products that may surface include new metal finishes for the Apple Watch, including a less expensive gold version, people close to the product said. In addition, Apple is set to release iOS 9, the next version of its mobile operating system, which will include improved search capabilities with Siri, the voice assistant, among other features. Apple may also pull out “one more thing,” as the company’s co-founder, Steve Jobs, was fond of doing. This time, there is a chance that attendees will be treated to something special in how the products are presented because Apple is holding its event in the 6,000-seat Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. The space is much larger than many other places the company has chosen for product introductions. The choice has some wondering whether Apple could have a much more immersive experience in store for attendees. Emily Steel and Nick Wingfield contributed reporting.
You have to add it manually. Google Phoenix addon and there are tutorials. I would link but im on my phone. edit - here you go Fran Tarkenton https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-install-phoenix-for-xbmc/
So for whatever reason my internet isn't working today, and to watch ESPN on my Xbox one I'm having to use my iPhone hotspot through Verizon. I haven't ever had any issues before but for the VT-OSU game it's giving me a "your cable subscription package does not include access to this content" message. Any ideas why that would be?
I'm technically signed in through dish network. Running it through windstream Internet has never gave me problems. I can currently watch all of the other ESPN channels and I'm watching the game through the skycam channel. No play by play guys and no replays.
Happens to me all the time. It' something with the wifi and the log in credentials and the "auto" login. Try turning off your wifi, connecting to a different wifi, then switching back to your original wifi. This should prompt for your UID and Pass again and should work. I have 2 wifi networks at my house and that happens to me on 1 of them. So I walked next door to Starbucks, flipped their wifi on, then switched back to mine. Also try and uninstall and reinstall the app. The WatchESPN app for as awesome it is.. kinda sucks from a support standpoint.
It's the time of the year where I need to renegotiate my cable. Really want to cut it, but I think it's just a couple years too early. By the time I pay for the sling shit, Internet, ESPN, HBO, BTN, etc., it doesn't seem like it would be that much cheaper than a $100/mo package.
I did it 18 months ago and love it. But hey is $1200 isn't anything to you then screw it and keep it. What I love most about it is that you don't watch TV just to watch TV. With cable you just flip it on while you are sitting there or hanging with family. With the cord cut it is harder to watch just to watch and IMO that is a good thing. I bought Hulu, my brother bought Netflix and we switched logins. My mom has ESPN and HBO so I use her's for that. I have an antenna for CBS, FOX, ABC, NBC and WGN (for Cubs games). Not sure what the deal with BTN is but I'm sure you can find a loop hole. These guys in this thread have this stuff perfected. I have a much more simple set up. Get a roku for $30/$40 and you get 85% of whatever you will want. If you want to go crazy and get all this tech stuff these guys have you can get anything you want. Granted, I don't have kids and my wife watches 30 minutes of TV a week. Non football season it is a no brainer IMO.
I'm about to move into a new place and I'm considering cutting cable. Any tips on getting a super good deal when I sign up? I'd keep cable if they make it really cheap for the first 12 months I'm going to end up reading this thread completely this weekend
Usually the best deals are for new customers. I wouldnt think finding a good deal would be too hard, depending on your def a of "a good deal"
Well, it isn't $1200 a year down to zero is the point. The Internet costs money. I'm not really looking to borrow logins. If I do it, I want to do it right. Is there a way to do it legit and still save money there? To me it doesn't seem like it yet but I'd be happy to be corrected.
that's what I figured. I'm a completely new customer and cable has never been in my name. the ones posted online are :| though so I'm considering just cutting the cord. I really only need, in order: NBCSN, ESPN, TNT, TBS, FS1. If they gave me those five in HD for $20/mo I'd take that
i was gonna cut, but i'm still saving ~$70 a month (for the next year), and i double my internet speed
If you want to get super techy read the thread and you can "do it legit". Other than that I don't know how you would watch Netflix, HBO go, Showtime, Hulu, Watch ESPN etc without the shared login. But like I said I'm a novice.
Just tell them that. Say you are a new customer and you are between DirectTV/Comcast/Unverse/Cox Cable or whatever. Tell them what channels you and what internet and tell them the price you are willing to pay. Say you are shopping it around and are looking for the best quote. PS. Don't get Comcast unless you are a gluten for punishment like me.
My main concern for cutting the cord was sports, now that we are 2 weekends in I can say it has not been a problem at all. For college football I have just put on espn goal line and let that play. I have switched back and forth from that with my antenna for some of the games that are on NBC, ABC, etc. For NFL I used a VPN to route my ISP through Brazil and signed up for NFL gamepass. It is only $130 through that and you get every game plus redzone. The only thing that stunk was I couldn't get the chromecast extension with it to work. So I just watched everything on my laptop. Not a huge deal for me but I could see some people not liking that. Will have to do some research and see why it won't play on my chromecast.
Very nice. I'm sure you can get the laptop hooked up to a TV with some cords. Onlything I didn't really have was the RZ channel this weekend. It was great when that Redditt link was up.
