You can end up in court.

I have what seems to be a similar gadget, called a Roku stick. I don't watch huge amounts of telly, but it's great for streaming stuff (Netflix, Now TV and so on). These require subscriptions tho. Have a Netflix one, and currently investigating Now TV on a free trial. Well, the kids are.

Are you saying I can buy a gizmo which plugs into my telly and allows me to watch subscription services for free?

I am getting old because I have tried to unravel KODI and cannot figure it out.

They usually install something like Kodi.

You can then at your own risk install something called Fusion which is officially nothing to do with Kodi but works on their system.

From Fusion you can install add-ons which bring together all the programmes/films being streamed on the internet.

As far as the Internet TVs go, I was quite disappointed in Now TV, It wouldn't support any of the YouTube live streaming (Thought I could get out of the way and let the kids watch their TV and watch UCI / USA cycling events)

Kodi is fantastic when configured with the correct addons

Did I read the OP correctly? £100 a month for telly....as Tony Handcock said, that's very nearly an armful!

Popcorn Time is good for Movies and TV Series. It's a Netfilx type front end for streaming torrent files. Works rather well. We use it on a laptop, connected via HDMI to the telly. An android box would do also as there is an app. I can screen mirror my Samsung S5 to the telly and play popcorn time from the phone if needed. There is also Freeflix (windows 8.1 and above app), and Isoplex.

in a word "yes" although its not always as simple and straight forward as plug and play, sometimes they can take time to understand whats what and wheres where, I don't own one but have had XBMC on the laptop which worked really good....
type KODI boxes uk in google and it will explain more.....

Crumbs - I've been missing out it seems. Now that the dark evenings are upon us maybe it's time for me to investigate.

If you bid for an Amazon fire stick, and they sent two bits of wood and some tinder, would it breach trades description?

Should be fine, as long as it's hardwood

It's got be easier to get some of the bits left over from the Scottish New Year Mahogany celebrations.

Thanks @User . My TV is digital but I'm uncertain what plugs and sockets it has. IIRC it has SCART. No Android device in the house I fear so I suspect it'll be laptop/PC for me.
