    Was wondering if anyone has got a suggestion on one that works, mine has died. I have seen the Maiz Box which is pretty expensive, there are a multitude on eBay , but there are a lot scammers on there as well.

    I've actually installed Kodi on my HTC M8 (my mobile phone) and simply plug it into my TV with a 5pin MHL (micro usb to HDMI) cable. The install is free from the website. The cable cost £14. I'm watching the game.

    If anyone wants proper instructions on what to do, PM me your email address. I suspect some of the stuff you need to do will breech the odd rule.

    Yeah. And if you have a fairly recent TV, it just mirrors the screen.

    No idea mate that was why I was asking, it's almost £130 with postage. You can get 3 android boxes off eBay for that. I just want something that works like my old box

    No because it's broken ;) but you could get all the latest films, I mean ones in the cinema now, sort of like Netflix so on demand for free. Sports you could get any premier league game live, you couldn't record or anything.

    Yes I have this unit and it works perfectly.I gave the guys a call before I bought it to ensure it would play what I wanted and that all was installed.I spoke to Arthur who was very helpful.Not only sport but films as well soon as they are released.
