xbmchub.com has instructional videos and a decent forum. They wont discuss superrepo as theres no affiliation and they claim SR addons has google analytics etc.

Am instead going to be spending my evenings (well two of them a week) from September in Alliance Francaise getting a cert of French language competence. Going all-in on a decent French job by end of next academic year.

Went to see Boyhood tonight, really good film and interesting how they put it together. Think as Rigger mentioned the the end seemed to drag for me a little. Every time Ethan Hawke was in a scene it was fantastic and Linklater got a couple of his long walk and talks in which are always welcome.
Also saw the trailer for The Rover with Guy Pearce having heard nought about it, will be going to see that.

So, Da went and died this evening.
Went for his usual few Wednesday pints down the Yellow House, left at the usual time at 6.15. Collapsed of a suspected heart attack at 6.20, not sure if he was getting on the bus, or waiting for it. Not pronounced dead 'till 7.20, though I'd imagine that's just procedure.
Not the worst way to go, though it's been some shitty 20 months by most standards.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

Still prefer to see Gus fight, Hendricks got redemption and was so sure Gus would too. I'm a anybody but Jones kinda fan though so all aboard the DC train.
Also, Gus v Jones was the greatest battle I have ever watched in any discipline of combat.

Actually no I'm saving up for losing FF bets

Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostI just used the latest Gotham (depends on your hardware, if you're using something like a raspberry pi you want one of the lighter skins). Don't use add-ons much, have 1channel, projectfreetv, Irish tv, sportsdevil, xsqueeze. You can get ones for monitoring your uttorrent/sickbeard/couchpotato downloads if you use any of those. You're best bet is to add fusion or one of the other large repositories and have a look at what's available.Originally posted by rounders123 View PostDefault confluence works best. Best addons are Mashup, 1channel, GOtv, Gomovies, Cliq. Some people say Icefilms but it was never reliable for me. Mashup isnt so much an addon but a repository of a world of addons/genres. You need to get this through superrepo but dont download anything else from superrepo. Its not in fusion so you have to install it as a standalone. Just google and install from zip via usb het Mashup and uninstall superrepo.
xbmchub.com has instructional videos and a decent forum. They wont discuss superrepo as theres no affiliation and they claim SR addons has google analytics etc.
re add-ons, any live TV HD streaming sites, especially sports?
finally have half decent internet so might as well make the most of it

They put up popular PPV sports incl boxing and ufc close to off time too.
Despite your improved connection you need to be wired with a network cable for best results imo. Wireless on xbmc is sketchy at times even with a 100mb better connection despite addons only needing approx 3-4MB to perform. If you cant get it wired buy homeplugs in argos or amazon or somewhere as these virtually equate to the same thing.
Forum thread worth reading before you purchase. In the main its reliable but its being groing steadily and has one of the best developers in the business looking after the plugin side of it.

They have a plugin for xbmc and an app for smartphone along with being able to watch it on your pc. Here is a screenshot of the channel list. Its gone up in price recently but with this channel list if you use it youll get your moneys worth.

i've also got acestreams sorted as DP alludes to, but the good streams are few and far between. i'll give the one you list a go for a month and see how good the quality is. one thing i notice though is they don't have BT sports on their website, yet it's on your screenshot. is it there or not as that is one of the important ones for me.Last edited by shrapnel; 24-07-14, 13:29.
