Just found Ian Rankin's Rebus books...don't know why it took so long as they're superb. I wanted to go back to watch the original John Hannah and then Ken Stott's TV series'. Googled and found several streaming companies who promise free viewing. I tried one and it scared the living daylights out of me as suddenly a voice message told me I've been hacked and a virus was implanted. Are their any safe streaming sites or should I leave well alone and buy DVDs?

Looks like they are all available on YouTube. Also series one available on https://uktvplay.uktv.co.uk/shows/rebus/watch-online/ ( legitimate site)

Buy a Kodi box ... £35 off Amazon. Plenty of threads on here on how best to use etc. Use mine virtually 100% of time

They are all much of a muchness and I wouldn't bother with pre loaded as they come with a load of junk on. I watch all my TV (TV, Movies, Box Sets and Live Sports) using just 5 apps. [MENTION=33732]Swillis[/MENTION] is an expert he might have a better idea but a quick look and this is the sort of thing you're after although I don't appreciate the differences is so called spec's between any of them

They take a little setting up but you don't need to be a geek to do it and if you follow instructions from this bloke

you can't go wrong

A raspberry Pi model B will easily run Kodi and is dead easy to set up. Pick on up off ebay for a few quid.

Rebus is often on the TV, can't remember what channel off hand but Alibi have a couple of episodes to download. Love the Rebus books, have the majority of them.
