If you are looking for live tv you should sub to the channels if you want 100% service. As for Kodi providers, THEY can be just the same as any other service because only the legal direct paid ones are secure and safe. the apps are closing like dominoes right now, and a lot of services are not available. I am not being a smartass, it is just reading the bashing posts you get an idea of who is posting. If you want to do the work, YOU can build a channel list, and watch TV till the stream address changes, and the channel just sits and buffers, then you can hunt the channel and redo the link, and watch again instead of having all of that done for you. I don't mind problems because I have been at this TV GAME for over 40 years, and this is not new to the game. It is just a bump in the road. SO as for me, I ll stay till they say sorry we are doing what so many Kodi Free IPTV apps are doing. AND BTW IF you use an app that downloads to your STB to view the PPV and it also uses your already downloaded file to stream to another persons stb and IF your internet provider is linked the CPA group, you can be charged with a copyright violation. SO make sure you research ANY app you use to find out if they are linked.
