    Kicking Cable to the Curb

    Pat, respectfully: Don't have a box, don't need a box, don't want a box... Kodi (and eventually probably Plex) on a PC is good enough for me, thanks. Mike, thank you for that post... complete, concise, and to the point... and with all the relevant links to boot! :thumb: Agreed... 100%

    Kicking Cable to the Curb

    Crap! Somehow, I got No Limits off and back to 'regular' Kodi, but lost Exodus and several other add-ons - none of which I remember how to put on without searching, reading, following sometimes arcane and overly complicated directions...... aaaauuuggggg....... Now I remember why I put Kodi on...

    OK, how do I get this off? Do Not Like... Don't care for droids, heavy metal, fantasy, transformers, undead, zombies, XXX, etc. etc... and prefer the 'stock' Kodi 17 menu system over the (to me) confusing horizontal scrolling junk vis-a-vis v16.1 Also, it keeps 'force closing' Kodi or just...

    Mongo, thanks for the suggestions. I upgraded Kodi to v17, and added No Limits following the vid below. Is the Echo Wizard a good add-on too, or should I have found another way to add No Limits alone? TIA -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ETA:For anyone...

    @clnire Since Geordi is a boy, don't tell him I said this, but: I think that's the most beautiful canine I've ever seen! His name should be Gorgeous Geordi :D

    Kicking Cable to the Curb

    I need to start making a list of these Kodi add-ons, as they get mentioned here. I'm new to Kodi, know hardly anything about Roku, SS, Shield, or anything else of that ilk... just don't watch TV much and don't play games either... well, on a computer anyway ;) We have only one TV in the house...

    Just copy/paste the link in my post above, take out the spaces, and replace 'dot' with a '.' See if it works that way. Also, have you tried a different browser?

    I can see it, and play it, and it's HILARIOUS... and pretty amazing too! - and this computer, nor I on any other computer, have ever been to Farcebork, Insta-tracker, Tweeter, or any other 'social' site. I right-clicked the image, clicked 'Show video URL' and got this: https ://www .facebook...

    Kicking Cable to the Curb

    I tried the v17 beta several weeks ago, before the final release. First put it on my main laptop w/ Win7, and found the native skin a bit of pita with a mouse, so reverted back to 16.x on it. Otherwise liked the menu layout, so installed 17 beta on a different laptop with Win10 and a...

    I ~think~ we had two? Albany GA and Tallahassee FL (if lucky). You got the shutdown procedure just right, musta been the same on all the stations 'back then'. Believe it or not, after dark we could pick up WLS-AM (rock) out of Chicago... in So. GA! Of course, the feds have 'ruled the...

    I wonder what makes us have flashbacks, out of the blue and totally unrelated to what's happening right now? Just now had one, back to the early days of my 'yoot' :) Our local TV station used to sign-off at midnight. Just after the station ID blurb, and just before the test pattern came up for...

    Of course BT works on Win7!!! I have 6 computers in the house right now - 2 on XP Pro, 3 on Win7, and one on Win10 (ugh!) - and all can use a BT mouse. -First make sure the drivers are installed for the BT dongle. Insert it into a working USB port, you should hear a little 2 note sound. Click...

    I didn't know there was an 8-bit version of Kodi :laugh: Yeah, I really need to get back to my 20-something philosophy - keep a camera with me at all times. Exodus Burped?... Is that part of the Atlas Shrugged series? :lol: Speaking of books, has anyone read 'The Greatest Generation' by Tom...

    Mr. Coool :cool: Your System/360?... or your Data Sheet? :p I had to work with a 360 Mini once upon a time (never wrote code though). The county bought one for the courthouse, against my advice! Then I had to figure the darn thing out to keep it running! arrgghhh!
