How to get free TV using internet streaming.
We all know its possible to find movies and sports online and watch it, streamed over the internet… popup ads, proxy redirects, ipad apps all exist so its not that easy to use.
Apparently Kodi solves this problem.
Kodi is a software application and it streams media from the internet, its legal. Its also open-source, so anyone can create Add-Ons for it… which obviously can open up loop-holes.
One of these loop-holes is a with internet media streaming plug-ins that scour the internet for computer servers full of content such as music, movies and servers streaming live sports. The servers are located all over the world.
So if you install Kodi application, and configure a plug-in that some smart guy has written, you’ve suddenly got an easy way to watch media content right? right!. Look at this video showing a demo of Kodi with the plug-in activated.
So how to install Kodi?
You can install Kodi on your computer, and even on your iPad (using xCode) and Mac Mini. The windows install is a lot easier than Apple devices. For Apples devices you don’t need to jailbreak them either.

What about the big TV in the lounge? if you just want something to plug directly into your TVs HDMI port there are a few options. You can buy a Kodi box off Amazon which is already pre-configured, ‘fully loaded’ with all the Add-ons (plug-ins) you need, prices range from £30-£100….Guides to choosing the best Kodi boxes exist too.
