Originally posted by vetran View PostKodi supports live tv from a backend - frequently TVheadend but you can use others. TvHeadend/VDR etc allows you to create a live tv server and Kodi has a client that can view that live tv.
You can then consolidate satellite boxes by popping a PC running tvheadend with lots of DVB-T & DVB-S (freeview & satellite) adapters on in Node zero (a cupboard where all your network junk can go). You can then with smaller boxes such as fire tv stick run Kodi on each TV and take away your satellite receiver etc from each room.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

For 'watching' TV purposes, all you need to do is buy an Amazon fire stick and install Kodi and a big pile of Kodi add ons and you'll get every TV channel, film, sport and event available on TV to mankind. All you need from there is wifi. Simples.
For a recording set up without setting up servers under the stairs, I'm still trying to find out. I've got the above solution for son's bedroom and a spare one that moves about a bit.
Got rid of multi room and Sky is only used now for the Mrs to record her crap.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

Start here: Install Kodi on Amazon Fire TV in a few simple steps
Then look for top twenty kodi live stream add ons.
If it is on TV, anywhere, you'll get it.
Alternatively, buy a 'fully loaded' amazon fire from EBay or similar.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment
