The problem is there is so many different boxes out there to choose from. I got one (A QBox I think it was) and it is a bit of a hassle to get it set up although like Rico says there is plenty of step-by-step guides online. Once I got it set up and got used to it I found it was brilliant for films and tv shows but it very rarely landed me a good stream of any football. Too much buffering and freezing to make it usable.

They say the sat receivers are the better option (google z gemma boxes for more details) they are about 60-70 quid and can plug in to your existing sky dish if you have one.

For streaming I use my laptop on the google chrome browser with ******* to stop all the pop-ups. Can easy send the picture over to my tv with chromecast. It's never let me down.

So yeah kodi is worthwhile but can be a bit hit and miss for live football streaming. Be prepared to spend a fair bit of time tinkering with it until you get it set up.
