What's a good site for free streaming movies and tv shows? (1 Viewer)

I did the whole kodi install thing myself on Firestick and it was easy.

Since I did it a month ago I watched maybe one movie. Everything I watch has to be HD. The free kodi movies often are poor quality, buffer out, or have Japanese subtitles.
I have found kodi to be kind of a waste of time. I will not cut the cord yet.

What is your wifi speed? When we had shitty AT&T wifi I had the same experience. I upgraded about a year ago to Xfinity. My wifi speed went from 7 kbs to 50-70 kbs. I rarely have any problems now.

If your looking to stream new release movies, then yes, the quality is usually pretty shitty.

My wife wanted to watch Beauty and the Beast as the first movie and it took about 6 hours to get through it with the freezing and slowness. Almost deleted Kodi and went back to the stock Fire Stick. However, after watching a few YouTube videos and changing a few settings, it is working well. Some movies don't have streams, others are straight bootleg with someone filming in the theater, still others have Asian/Russian subtitles. It certainly requires some getting used to, and even then there will be many disappointing moments. But with a little patience and understanding that you could be watching movies that aren't even in the theater yet, there is certainly a tremendous amount of benefit to using it.

My wife and I aren't huge TV people, but if we need to catch up on a show or see a new (or old) movie, there's usually a decent quality stream out there.

There definitely is a learning curve. Once you get it figured out, which links to watch shows/movies through, which packages work best for you, ect....it turns out its a pretty good deal. We watch a lot of shows from Starzz, HBO, Amazon, ect......We would never be able to do that without using Kodi.

you apparently have more time than money. There is no way doing this myself is worth the savings of $40-50 is worth it to me. I hate doing this crap.

To each their own.

It was very easy to do though. I put a YouTube video on my iPad and followed along with the video. It was all done in less than an hour. Paying someone $50 for something that was that simple is a waste to me. I'd rather spend that $50 on something I can't do easily in less than an hour like an oil change for my car. I don't have the tools to easily do it and the small cost saving vs paying for it makes it an easy decision.

I think people just assume something will be more difficult than it really is before even looking into it.

If after watching the video I thought "holy shit there is no way I can do that." Then I would have no problem paying someone to do it.

Interesting that we have an entire thread dedicated to pirating commercial television and movies but I can't make fun of someone who wants to sell a rack of live casino $1s for $2600 without the world losing it's motherfucking minds.

I for one think it's OK...but I could be in the minority here :D

Pretty much what @Apache said. If you watch a lot of TV and movies, and care about the quality of what you watch and hate buffering and or waiting for content to load, Kodi isn't for you. It kind of sux actually.

In my case I make a lot of money, and don't like doing IT work. For example, I started doing the install on my current KODI installation. I had some free time between meetings. First step: install indigo (fusion). This step failed. Was not easy. There was no easy video to solve problem. There were 40000 websites telling me the thing I was doing should work. It did not work. I don't know why it did not work. This is why I hate IT work, and so I outsource it.

I sent a message to my IT guy. He'll be over this week to set it up. I can still afford an oil change.

IMO, only install kodi from kodi directly. Because its open source, lots of people add their own shit to it. I don't download from anywhere other than kodi directly.

Most of the stuff we watch is in SD or HD. It usually works just fine.

Same.
 
Jake has it down to a science when he needs to update to a newer version of Kodi. I think it takes him less than 15 minutes to do both the box and fire stick.

All the instructions on installing exodus require first the installation of indigo(fusion). All the instructions to do that fail for me before the DL even begins.

This is why I outsource.

a friend programmed my first fire stick. He does it as a side job. If you want to reach out to him PM me your email address and I'll contact and copy you. Not sure if he still does it or not

No need. I have a settop box (chrome box) and the guy who set that up for me will be over this week to update it further. He lives around the corner and is a friend.

Thanks though.

The version of Kodi I install comes from the Kodi website only.

*After* I install Kodi, I install fusion and then TV Addons (which includes Exodus).
 
I forwarded the thread to Jake. He is on vacation with Colleen so not sure when he'll see it.

@WedgeRock , the guy I'm talking about is Nuzbim from PMC. We still keep in touch. On the occasion that we need assistance with Kodi Jake goes to him via text lol. I'm like @Chicken Rob Leave me out of the loop. That shit is all foreign to me. I lack the patience to fuck with it for too long.

"good site for free streaming movies and tv shows?"

This thread is kind of like asking 'what is a good place I can buy Paulson chips for 20 cents each or less', but then the poster getting upset when people suggest places to buy Paulsons at 50 or 60 cents each.

@upNdown, I hope you know im joking (mostly), with your funds going to buy Grand Casino Gulfport $1s, I understand why you want free TV!
