zach 234 #2 Posted August 14, 2019 Fire Stick has most if not all of what you listed. Other options to add to the list are TV Player, UK TV Play and Quest... In short, you're fairly well covered via the internet but the picture quality can be a bit lacking on some providers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

"Kodi box" - if you mean a generic Android box then no. They're usually "rooted" and the Channel 4 and 5 apps won't work on them for fear of you downloading their content.

Actually, you can watch most basic Freeview channels live on a firestick or an Android box with this free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvcatchup.android.videoplayer&hl=en_GB You can also watch it on any internet connected device with a web browser by going here: https://tvplayer.com/watch/bbcone TV Catchup used to be another but it doesn't seem to be working today for me: http://tvcatchup.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
