123 movies now working again and can be downloaded for your dad. If yours has stopped working, reinstall from the repo again as I believe the settings have been updated.
Cheers Swillis! Will do.

Are there any places to watch Match of the Day overseas?

Pretty much everything you said. Especially resetting the box, what people have to think about is that those addons were loaded on months, if not years ago. Also kodi does not automatically update so you may even have an outdated version of kodi.
Mobdro- can easily be put on the box with an apk, but personally I don't like it. Very laggy at times.
Other apps- iPlayer and indeed all the other catch up TV apps can be added. But I find them pointless (apart from iPlayer) as can watch them all on exodus anyway and I hate adverts.
Sources- I personally only use exodus and sportsdevil, an always find a stream and never have trouble.
Lagging/cutting out- I used to have programmes lag, cut out completely or could not access the stream to start with. I went back to the main menu one day and found that my WiFi signal to the box had dropped from 5 to 1 bands. Disconnecting and then reconnecting solves all this. Best thing to do is connect via ethernet cable and all problems seem to be solved.
Football streams(especially 3 o'clock kick off)- I always look for a stream that is from NBCSN(American), they are by far the best quality streams, in my opinion.
Choice of box-A standard android box(which I have) is no more than £22(sometimes cheaper) and even cheaper direct from China, but takes weeks to come. A mid range box is anywhere from £35 and if you want to go all out then buy an Nvidia sheild. Never felt the need to upgrade my box though as never had problems.
I always reset the box when I first get them and have got setting it back up down to about five minutes. I have maybe ordered fifty in the last six months(for others) and genuinely see no difference between the boxes.
Kodi vs sky-Obviously sky/BT is better than kodi for live streams, but then again they don't have the 3pm games. But kodi is FAR better for on demand movies and TV programmes. I dread to think how much I would have had to have paid Sky, BT, Amazon and cinemas for the movies/sports/boxsets I have watched. I now only watch iPlayer and Kodi.
Overall kodi is brilliant if maintained properly.
Is there a way to find NBCSN(American), over here? The only links I can find say you need a VPN to get around the geoblocking and also a login for an American provider?
If you mean via Kodi, you can watch all UK channels using a variety of apps. I use NotFilmOn ... here's a link on how to set up

Thanks, I will give this a try.
If you don't want to go through kodi then Opera browser (which is the best browser btw) has a built in VPN. Totally free. Change the country to the UK and you should be good to go.
Really?? I didn't know that thanks!!!
Depends on what device you want to do it on? And also whether through kodi or not?

I tried this but the VPN won't let me reroute trough the UK.
Hmmm, I will look into that tomorrow in time for match of the day. I have just been out shopping for nine post hours, I kid you not. I now drained, emotionally wrecked and considerably poorer than when I left.
I know it's certainly possible as I used to watch all the American comedies thorough it when I was on call. Will post back tomorrow.
Edit:Later today
Currently just using the kodi app on my phone but cant connect that to my TV so will look at putting it on a Fire stick or something like that soon.
Used this for a while on my phone as it gets around the network's adult filter. Only because it sometimes blocks some other football forums for some reason honest!
For sports, if youre looking for quality then look at streamtvbox. It is a paid sub, I paid £65 for 12 months and it is the best investment ever. Pretty much every sports channel is on there from US and Europe in HD, they have US on demand and live sports and every football gamer that is on tv in the world! PPV events etc etc also included.
They also have other tv channels to stream and a pretty cool EPG that mimics the sky EPG so its got everything.
You can get a 48 hour trial so give it a go for the footie tomorrow!
Thanks mate, The USA is certainly a choice. I'll add a screen shot of the choices that might help when you are ready.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.View attachment 80471
Get an android box mate, much easier
Do you meant easier than using a FireStick?
If so, which box would you recommend?
