Looking to get an Android box, mainly for sport but other channels will be a bonus! Any idea where I can get one? Preferably pre set up as I don't have a clue about these things! How much am I looking at for these?

We've just got one of these (after a total nightmare with a Matricom one). Pre-loaded is often not a help as it may not be pre-loaded with what you actually want. If you look on youtube there are dozens of videos showing you exactly how to set one up - and if I as an old woman can follow them and do it, it should be no problem for you! Basically we just loaded the fusion and metalkettle repos, which give us seemingly every film ever made via Genesis, and all the sports via international tv on Phoenix tv. Hope this helps!

Like Becky has said get yourself an unloaded box and then install kodi on it (it really ain't that hard) then either find repos yourself (gorilla streams, vdubt25, UK turks, etc) or get a build (which is a layout preconfigured with repos) currently I am using kings build v4 which has all the repos mentioned plus more in a dedicated sub menu system. Apparently these M8 boxes [Link] are very popular among the kodi community.

Oh and if you do get one get it with a keyboard as it's a ballache using the remote to type repo locations on my fire stick.

The one I linked to comes with all the main things already loaded - Playstore, kodi, Google and about 30 other things. Just had to load the repos into kodi and we were away.

Wouldn't bother.Not many channels ever work on it.Decent for sport I suppose if you have the right add ons but if your looking for a Sky, Virgin etc replacement you'll be disapointed.I've got Kodi installed on the laptop now purely for sport and just hook it up to the tele for Palace games.

What do you find is the best add on for the sky channels? I had the epg with iptv stalker but then that went down and I followed a million YouTube videos but everything I tried never seemed to work.Have you got all your channels in sky style guide too?
