What is legal:

Android boxes
Kodi
"some" Apps on Kodi

In a nutshell there are legitimate and legal uses for all the above, indeed I've used Kodi on a nettop to stream content within my house from my NAS, it also has access to other services like Youtube and live DVB recording (if you have a DVB tuner).

What's NOT legal:

Streaming content from a source which the copyright holder hasn't given permission.

"Usually" that will be content that you'd expect to pay for which you are streaming for free or for a vastly reduced amount.

So, advice on what apps, or services to use within Kodi are not allowed on here which means the posts relating to this will have to be removed.

What is also not allowed on these forums is to troll because we're a bit slow off the mark in moderating the offending posts: Two wrongs don't make a right.
Was not meaning to troll. Was just a heated discussion. Apologies to all those offended.

Friends.......?

I have no idea, i keep reading info saying that version 5.1 is problematic and i think some run something called kit kat, different box's come with different versions and im not sure which one i should be looking at, i dont want to buy a box and in 3 months time its a problem, im hoping to get one thatll last me a while
