Amazon Fire Stick?

How are you getting HBO to work on DexterTV?
I click on the HBO links and nothing pops up.
Is there a new install I have to do?
IMO it seems hit or miss with these streams of live tv.

Sometimes I'll click on them and they pop right up. Others i have to click on it multiple times and it'll work, and then OTHER times I'll click and click and click and still get nothing.

Perfect example was last night trying to watch the triple g/lemiux fight. I was streaming it perfectly on dexter tv then all at once it disconnected. Clicked the same link and it wouldn't pop back up. Went to cCloud tv and channel pear to click on box nation, no streams available. Went back to dextertv and still didn't work. After that went to SPORTSDEVIL repo and through the Atdhe.net link i found box nation's stream of the fight.

I didn't do anything special...I'm just patient and know where to look.

Apparently there's a 2.0 version of DexterTV.
I just installed it but still can't get HBO (and a few other channels) to work.
If I had cut cable completely (I still have DirecTV), I would be going crazy with all these channels that don't work.
 
Can somebody find the Steve Harvey show and let me know where you found it. This is the 1st thing I've searched for and come up blank. Genesis shows it but none of the episodes play

But seriously what's the fascination with live tv?

Like for me the only thing I'd miss is sporting events but most of those are on the fire stick and show with decent to good quality.

I just don't get how people say this thing is bad because of live tv not working as well....not saying that you're saying that but just in general

For me personally, I like to watch live sports (and other shows) in crystal-clear 1080p TV.
While some of the streams on Kodi are good, even the best ones don't come close to the picture quality you get with DirecTV.
Plus, when you have a wife and kids in the house they don't have the patience to click through dead links and wait on buffering during shows.
If I was single and wasn't much into sports I would cut DirecTV in a heartbeat though.
 
I have the highest speed available from Xfinity. If you're more than 20 feet from the modem it sucks. Yet my IPad is fine when I'm outside the house.

breh....the wifi signal comes from your router....not the modem. guaranteed your problem is your router....you need a new more powerful one...or get a wifi extender....

no disrespect...but im about to make a killing off these....most people dont understand how the internet and wifi work...

In the same boat as you with the wife and kids. They don't have the patience to find where channels are for that. Kodi still has some ways to go with LiveTV. But for free movies/TV shows, it's the chit.

Live TV hasn't been around that long on it, think it's about 2-3 years now since addons started doing LiveTV and built up speed like last year. So I still have my DirecTV so I'm not a full cord cutter. But I don't have any premium paid channels, as that's a waste to me. Nothing on there I haven't seen already. All the shows on HBO or SHO are online within an hour after they air anyways.
 
Yo!!! Props on all this! I just installed Kodi, and the beast on my surface 3. Comcast bout to get put on notice.
 
Anyone know host to add/upgrade to 15.2 on the Fire Stick? I haven't searched through this thread entirely, so if it's in here, link me to it please.

Thanks.

Just go to kodi.tv download 15.2 and install it the same way you installed 15.1...

But i think 15.2 is still in the developmental stage. It isn't as stable as 15.1

Shit i'm on 14.2... :smh::smh::smh: I hope the upgrade fixes the speed issues cause I can't stream an HD movie for shit anymore.

And I know it's not my wifi connection.

Nah, 15.2 is stable now.
I've got it installed on all my devices.
No noticeable changes, but it's always good to to have the latest stable version.
Here's the LINK to the install page.
Another option is to sideload Firestarter and update to the latest version of Kodi through the 'Update' option.
Firestarter lets you bypass the Amazon home screen and go straight into Kodi (or any other app).
 
I think I'm done w/ kodi...I find myself spending more time trying to find a working link and fighting thru buffering when I coulda just dled a torrent in about 5-10 minutes and watch what I wanted...to be fair kodi is great I love the UI esp. but the add-ons have been froggy/unreliable...def hasn't helped me cut the cord and is barely suitable for me as an alternative these days...I have the game controller...fire TV and a firestick...will see if I can get anything for them on ebay...looking to get $20...$50 and $20 respectively for each item
 
I'm still loving it.....both FireTV stick and box with Kodi 15.2 both running the latest Beast builds, no problems at all.

I was starting to run into the same problem. Genesis links don't work that well anymore to me.

I primarily use SALTS (Stream all the sources) addon. You get a better idea what links are more reliable before you click on them.

That and the icefilms addon which always seem to have good links (if they have any).

If all else fails I can download it in the app and delete it after watching
 
Idk, I'm loving Kodi. I don't get on it for live TV. I still have DirecTV, can't cut the cord cause of the fam, but to watch a movie or TV series, it's Kodi for me. At times, if I want a 1080p or 720p, I'll download it and stream it from my PC.

But two weeks ago I binge watched all five seasons Breaking Bad, didn't download a single episode. Streamed it all thru Kodi.

I had some buffering issues from some sites that Genesis used, so for their sources, tried to stick to the Dizi linked sources.

But thanks for the tip on SALTS, will use that. Cause lately Yeah Genesis has been a lil flakey
 
Has anyone found reliable add-ons for NBA Season Pass and NFL football?
All the links I find end up being dead.
 
Also note that Sports Devil updated today for newer links, you have to download and install it, it's not updated like normal

Thanks for the update on Sports Devil.
I wish I had known before Saturday night about the update.
I could not find a good link for shit for the Rousey fight.

I did just find a good link for ESPN that actually works, unlike most of the other ones. It's in damn near HD and everything.
It's under Dexter TV add-on.
This might be a game-changer for me, because that was the one channel I was really looking for on Kodi (just for the games, not the BS shows and talking heads).
