See a new ruling was made yesterday to stop illicit watching of matches, affecting sales of kodi etc.

I'm not familiar with all this stuff, but presumably it will have some effect on viewing?

 

Maybe folk will need to turn up at their local ground instead of lardy arsing in front of the telly.

Ok, finally got a Firestick, mainly to make an older TV smart.

What's best for getting the Ashes series? Kodi?

Yep. Go into YouTube and search for best kodi firestick build. Loads of step-by-step tutorials.

I'm not a peasant but on occasion I check out mobdro

 

Always good image on a tablet

Your best bet would be IPTV via Plex

 

Can I plug in the Firestick to my Mac and load this on easily?

IPTV via Plex isn't the best. 

 

An app on a smart TV or IPTV loaded to a ZGemma is probably better.

like the look of this but bit pricier than kodi and similar

 

def upgrading to IPTV though and subscribing

 

if I do that, what the chances of it still going in a couple of years, so that this box works out to be value for money?

AND

 

is it easy to record stuff for later?
