OK boys. If I were silly enough to want to watch footy on my android tablet - what app would I not use because it was "irregular"

Kodi and then a sports add-on. Plenty of tutorials on how not to install

I am toying with the idea of a kodi type box to plug into my smart telly, I would like it to have storage space and be a nippy little blighter in terms of processor
budget of £70 - £100 ish
any suggestions, it seems a bit of a minefield!
I am growing tired of my council telly channels!

pip, BT have an app for the games they cover. If you have BT internet you can get the full BT Sports package for a fiver a month.
For the games that Sky has I'm not sure. They have Sky Go but I'm not sure if you can subscribe without having the full Sky service.
There are ways of getting live footy over the net without paying but it's real sketchy. The quality is terrible and it's not the type of thing you can do on a tablet. The Premiership games are shown for free in other countries. People in those countries cast the games live on the net from their home as they watch them. How are you with arabic commentary???

I am growing tired of my council telly channels! There are several options, DIY with a Raspberry Pi or old PC. There are companies that sell premade Kodi boxes. However You said that you have an Amazon prime account. The FireTV might be the best option. I have one and I use VLC to stream movies from my NAS. So my NAS has a torrent client and downloads what I want to watch. I then stream from the NAS to my TV using VLC to the TV. The Wife has a TV card in her PC and records live TV, I can watch that too through VLC. I got the smaller and cheaper FireTV stick, however if I had the extra cash I would have gone for the FireTV box thingy. It will work over WiFi but for better results streaming from your NAS you might want to plug it into the network. Something you can do with the stick. You can even homebrew kodi onto the FireTV www.amazon.co.uk/All-New-Amazon-Fire-TV-Ultra/dp/B00UH2O6T2

I was wondering if there was just a simple app There are but you have to subscribe. SkyGo for Sky TV subscribers and BT Sports app for BT Sports subscribers. Give them your money and you can watch the Premier league. Might be easer to nip down to the pub and it will only cost you some beer tokens.

Should be,it scans for all live transmissions that are being aired. So not just sport but all Sky / Virgin / Freeview tv channels as well.Also a few movie channels.

All free but quality isn't great and stream does tend to stutter and break up for me. Might be due to wifi strength.
