How important is your DVR to you?

Not it all. We ditched ours when we left ATT UVerse and with everything being on-demand, even my wife and kids don't miss it anymore.

its quicker to find stuff on comcast using voice than firing up kodi

Not really if you are using exodus with trakt.

Just add stuff to your collection on trakt. Have your settings in alphabetical order. After that no need to search.

Seriously, It is pretty easy if you have it set right. All I have to do is open Kodi, click favorites, click movies or shows, and everything is there in alphabetical order.

All you would need to do is get on trakt and add all the shows he likes to your collection before hand. Then you will have every episode.

Tips

When you find a movie or show put it your collection instead of watch list.

If you want them sorted in alphabetical order you have to do it with the settings on trakt's website. No way to sort it from kodi.

I use the aeon nox skin from kodi. It has a favorites tab. If you go to the movie collections tab, or tv collections tab in exodus you can long press and assign it to favorites. This will save you clicks later. When you click on favorites you will now see two tabs that say collections. If you long press those you can rename to movies and tv shows. After you have done that all you ever have to do is click favorites then pick between movies or tv. Once you pick one your entire collection pops up in alphabetical order.

When you start just add one movie and one tv series to see how it works. After you have added movies and series you may need to restart kodi for it to update and appear. Sometimes just clicking on exodus is enough to update it.

ive had to reinstall exodus 2 or 3x on my amazon fire tv and it seems to lose most of my settings when that happens. not sure what causes it but its frustrating.

That is another good thing about trakt. Your setting, movies, and shows are saved through them. If you have to reinstall exodus again you would only need to resync with your trakt acct.

A few great things about the Dish Hopper DVR:

1) It records 8 days worth of primetime on the regular networks. The mother-in-law asked if we watched Rudolph the other night. We didn't realize it was on, so we didn't schedule a recording. We were able to pull it up.

2) Autoskip commercials on most of those primetime shows. It used to do all 4 networks starting the next day, but CBS must have paid off Dish, because their commercials don't autoskip for a while.

3) Sports. School me on a way to watch good HD sports feeds where I can pause, rewind, or tape delay a game.

There are about half a dozen shows that I automatically record new episodes on Tivo. I prefer watching the recording because Tivo has a one-button commercial skip feature. I use PlayOn/PlayLater to record streaming video from Netflix and Amazon, mostly for things that I want to add to my permanent media collection. I can rent the movie and record it rather than buy it.

its not technically illegal to stream..only to 'own'.

if you never pay for it, do you really own it?
