    Modbro has half a dozen American sports channels including Fox Sports 1 and 2 and some Canadian ones plus loads of other ones in addition to SKY, BT etc.
    Also ordinary American channels. Just been messing about watching college football on .ABC and CBS.

    Get a decent TV and it'll clear that right up. My laptop is hooked up to mine through chromecast. Even when I've got grainy video on the laptop display, once I send it to the chromecast the TV upscales the 1080p from that to a 4k resolution and it's amazing how much of the "noise" in the image is removed in the process. It'd probably be even better if I hooked the laptop upto it directly but I can't be arsed with the HDMI cable running across the room. It obviously can't add detail that doesn't exist, but it can smooth it all out and the 'blocking' in the image completely disappears

    The feed itself wouldn't be 1080p, it would be the same SD feeds everyone else uses but the Chromecast output to the TV is 1080p.

    The laptop is upscaling that to output it at 1080p on my display, but the process involved isn't particularly good as unless you've got some specialist software for it or a fancy graphics card all it's usually there to do is make the resolution match the number of pixels on the screen when they don't quite match. (Like zooming in on a circle in Paint, it starts off small but then you start to see the sharp edges appear, and the solid colour starts to look patchy).

    I don't know whether the Chromecast software sends the video to the dongle in the back of my tv in it's original resolution and then it upscales it to 1080p, or whether it uses my laptop's 1080p output and sends the larger version to the dongle which just passes it on to the TV, but the signal the TV receives from the Chromecast is 1080p.

    My TV is a 4k one, and it's specifically designed to upscale inputs, so rather than just enlarging the image it's also programmed to smooth edges and remove colour blotches and all the other crap that comes from enlarging the picture to higher resolutions. It just happens that those problems are the same ones you tend to get in streams so it has the added benefit of cleaning them up. I've had video streams that are barely watchable on my tablet and laptop, but putting it through the chromecast it's been like watching Sky HD was like on my old 720p/1080i TV. It can't add detail that isn't there at all, and it can only correctly guess so much extra so it's never going to look like full 4k from a poor quality stream, but improvement is immense, even with the TV being 55" compared to the laptop being about 1/3 of that, at the same viewing distance, sat side by side, the TV image is more real than the laptop displaying the same source video.

    As a new Kodi user does anyone know if tonight's match is likely to be on there, and if so on which channel?

    Tia.

    I'm 4 houses from the end of a copper line; the village is 3 miles of copper from a sub-exchange; the sub-exch. is 4/5/6 miles from the main exchange, via copper...

    Anyone suggest a streaming site for 0.8/1 Mb line-speed? <wah>

    As much as that Stan? Consider yourself well off, prior to KCOM installing fibre in our area I was getting 0.25mbps download speed. I believe the minimum requirement, to be deemed fit for purpose, is .50mbps, they tried to achieve that but failed so I was released free of any charges from my 18 month contract.

    Kodi - ZEM - sports - MAMAHD - scroll down to listed matches
    Many other service providers on Kodi are listed as showing Man U v Hull City
    Tend to use ZEM most of the time.

    You could always install Ares Wizard as per the link. Then you can load Pulse CCM, which I am using. (use server 1). Or you can try other builds. These give you links to loads of sites without having to look for them. Worth spending a few minutes on.

    FMG ( Find My Game) on Pulse is pretty good for finding links.

    It will definitely be on. It's just a matter of finding a stream. SportsDevil gives you lots of options.

    Thanks for that Castro, I've installed all of that, gone for Your recommendation, Pulse server 1. The Pulse interface looks really good, and the FMG found 100 links for the game tonight, all we need now is three MASSIVE points <ok><ale>

    Good for watching movies and old TV programmes as well. I watch on my TV through my phone or an Amazon firestick.

    Live Premiership and NJM Soccer under Extra Time normally have decent links as well.

    Mobdro is good for watching every TV channel you want, including American ones and all SKY Channels, sport, films, BT Sports. Often get PL games on NBC on there.

    I have an iPhone so I can't download Modbro. Can it be downloaded to my Amazon Firestick?
