Which Kodi add-on is best for football streams?

I've always found them pretty crap lately, if you want to watch a lot of football, I'd consider signing up to an iptv server.
Pretty much everything you said. Especially resetting the box, what people have to think about is that those addons were loaded on months, if not years ago. Also kodi does not automatically update so you may even have an outdated version of kodi.
Mobdro- can easily be put on the box with an apk, but personally I don't like it. Very laggy at times.
Other apps- iPlayer and indeed all the other catch up TV apps can be added. But I find them pointless (apart from iPlayer) as can watch them all on exodus anyway and I hate adverts.
Sources- I personally only use exodus and sportsdevil, an always find a stream and never have trouble.
Lagging/cutting out- I used to have programmes lag, cut out completely or could not access the stream to start with. I went back to the main menu one day and found that my WiFi signal to the box had dropped from 5 to 1 bands. Disconnecting and then reconnecting solves all this. Best thing to do is connect via ethernet cable and all problems seem to be solved.
Football streams(especially 3 o'clock kick off)- I always look for a stream that is from NBCSN(American), they are by far the best quality streams, in my opinion.
Choice of box-A standard android box(which I have) is no more than £22(sometimes cheaper) and even cheaper direct from China, but takes weeks to come. A mid range box is anywhere from £35 and if you want to go all out then buy an Nvidia sheild. Never felt the need to upgrade my box though as never had problems.
I always reset the box when I first get them and have got setting it back up down to about five minutes. I have maybe ordered fifty in the last six months(for others) and genuinely see no difference between the boxes.
Kodi vs sky-Obviously sky/BT is better than kodi for live streams, but then again they don't have the 3pm games. But kodi is FAR better for on demand movies and TV programmes. I dread to think how much I would have had to have paid Sky, BT, Amazon and cinemas for the movies/sports/boxsets I have watched. I now only watch iPlayer and Kodi.
Overall kodi is brilliant if maintained properly.

[MENTION=33732]Swillis[/MENTION] I have a Kodi mbox and 123movies works fine, the repo updates etc. But I tried to set it up on my dads box, and I could install the repo but the file didn't work when enabling the addon. I then I tried to install from a zip from SEO Micheal. Any ideas? I love 123movies, click and play. Cheers for any help.
Give me twenty minutes and I will install it etc and see what could be wrong.

Thanks! You install from the mucky repo, then it just doesn't work. If you install from the zip file work around on seo michael, it deletes the add on and repo.
The muckyduck repo is actually down at the moment so cannot install as normal. Also the zip file is corrupt for some reason.The man behind the muckyrepo has recently lost his mother to cancer, so the repo is taking a back seat at the moment.
Install exodus for your dad, it really is better IMO

Cheers Swillis, I appreciate the help. Yes I have installed exodus. But I do love the click and play aspect of 123Movies. I just don't get why it works on my box, but not for new installs. Strange.
A repo is basically a scraper, a bit like Google scrapes the internet to bring up search results a kodi repo(movie one) scrapes the internet for movie streams. All it actually does is direct your box to the correct stream. He has probably manually taken the repo down from his server has no time to update it etc but existing users will still be able to use it.

How much data roughly would streaming a football match use?

Difficult to help without knowing what's showing up
Assume it's connected to Internet
Which version of Kodi? Should be 16.1Don't try to instal loads. Just start with Exodus, the most reliable. Follow what this fella says
https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-install-exodus-for-kodi/
What error messages are you getting when trying to run Exodus?
Hopefully [MENTION=33732]Swillis[/MENTION] will be by, he's the expert

It's on Exodus but only on Camera recording ... too new I guess. Generally don't show up in HD till 6-8 weeks after release
123 movies now working again and can be downloaded for your dad. If yours has stopped working, reinstall from the repo again as I believe the settings have been updated.
