going down the fire stick route i think, used chromecast for a while but streams get taken down far too often

Stu , Kodi is an app you can get on the Amazon Fire stick that allows you to install software like something called The Beast that gets you anything you want really from movies, TV shows, sports, etc. Although, I'm not 100% sure you can install Beast on Kodi anymore but I'm sure there's alternatives that'll do the same thing.

Kodi is shite, don't like it at all. But we have both currently but once our current deal expires think we're dropping sports and movies and getting a dodgy box which has everything on it, in a decent format which resembles more of a TV box than what Kodi does.
Sports prices here are bloody ridiculous though.

Pay a few quid a month for the extra BT channels that aren't free with Broadband, then pay for NowTV for a month or two if they have games I fancy.
Need to look into the BT TV box, free on the package and if I can get the Sport channels, I'll add it on. Otherwise I only really watch catch-up/Netflix/totally legal download purchases so never bothered.

So Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley hosting FNF along with guests from "outside of football". So we should look forward to seeing the likes of Ollie Murrs detailed analysis on United, etc. Is this where our high sky fees are going? As awful as a Stelling / Riley combo will be, it still sounds a lot better than the rumoured Corden / Willoughby combo. Think pre, during and post-match will be skipped.
Neville back on MNF as well.

That's Soccer AM though right? Or are they going to get better calibre guests than some random ass indie/alt-rock band every week to sit alongside your lowest common denominator ex-footballer pundits like Neil Ruddock and Iwan Roberts.

Premier Sports is where it's at. Europa League qualifiers, pre-season friendlies and the Scottish Challenge Cup.
I pay for both BT and Sky (and Premier Sports this summer). Would love to drop Sky as they are cunts about Scottish football but I just can't watch live football and NFL on streams. You either have to avoid social media/checking other scores or risk getting it spoiled as you are usually a min or 2 behind at best and it's just more of a hassle. I use Kodi on my fire stick for movies/tv and games that aren't on in the UK.
Between the two of them BT have much better coverage I feel. They are more positive in their coverage of Scottish football (seriously, it's the only sport Sky have rights to that they constantly belittle) and they tend to do more inventive things with their non-match coverage. Highlights shows, documentaries etc. If only they'd get rid of Chris Sutton...

That's one of the reasons I pay for them also, my mates go mental on WhatsApp when there's footy on. I couldn't cope if I was way behind.

That's why I don't want us to go to Kodi for live matches. I can't help going on my phone during matches either so I'd get everything ruined for me.
