If you have Fusion installed, you should have add-on Installer

Go to your main home page for KODI > Programs > Add-on installer > Video Add-ons >

Search for Exodus(TV), Cast A Way (Sportsdevil replacement, streams almost all sports broadcast), Phoenix (Movies and TV)

Yeah I saw that..but they'll just blacklist that because it's associated with Firestarter.

I think KODI 16.1 is coming out soon, so hopefully they make it an easy download with ES File Explorer

Question for those running OTA Antenna's to multiple TVs.. should I have a separate antenna for each TV? I have one for the main TV on the far side of the house..the main living room is in the middle and the back bedroom is on the other side.

They are already wired and I could easily split them to the existing antenna I have, but don't want to mess up what I have going right now. I literally lucked into catching CBS, and I don't want to move my antenna and chance losing it.

I think I have posted before about having a Homerun box. My antenna connects to the box and the box connects with a cat5-6 to my network. I can watch TV through the Homerun app on any TV or computer on the network.....I haven't tried the my phone. I usually watch on my computer using Windows Media Center but if you have windows 10 then it doesn't come standard with WMC anymore. And I have WMC integrated with Kodi so I can watch OTA channels on Kodi. WMC can also act as a DVR for OTA channels which integrates with Kodi also. So if you have a cat5-6 near where your antenna is now you could put the homerun box there. You may have to get a cheap network switch if you only have 1 cat5-6.

I use the same splitter posted above. Works just fine. 6 tv, one antenna. I pulled out the splitter direct tv had in the attic and swapped with this one. I was able to use the existing coax.

thanks for responding and the offer. As others have said, wife was a hard sell, but she'll come around. Will check back in sometime late next week.

Speaking of the wife issues...mine was watching American idol tonight, all was well until about 2 minutes before the winner was announced. Feed from the antenna on Fox went ape shite.

Wife was not happy. Any one else experience this tonight?

So do any sports streaming apps work via Kodi? Just went through all options through Sportsdevil and didn't get a single working link for GSW vs Spurs (the biggest game of the season). Any alternatives?

I am watching on a Dimsport link. Do you have the March 21ts version of sportsdevil? You can also install Castaway app for another option.

Can someone please help me?? My bill is $270.00 this month for internet and Uverse package with all the movie channels that I hardly even watch.

I have cox installation from about 7 years ago before I switched to ATT and they are offering 99.00 dollars per month for the internet, tv, and HBO.

Should I switch to them for a two years?

I have a ruko setup as well.

I cant take this fricking bs ATT is charging!! I watch more regular tv channels than movie channels

That sounds like a pretty good deal, but they will probably fee you into submission. DVR? Multiple TVs? Your bill would likely end up being in the $130ish range. Still a lot better than $270 I guess.
