I have it set up on Zen but it doesn't differentiate between the RD and non channels but what I've watched the first 108 stream usually works and it is 1080 not 720 like you get with Exodus sometimes.

Yeah, I wonder if these addons do some sort of ping test to prioritize the providers. They obviously use logic of some sort.
Thanks for the info. After some research I see it doesn't help with live events. Only time I have any issues with buffering is an UFC ppv event, most of the time its minor.
SO...I called my Credit Union...they tell me that they won't authorize any payments on my debit card to any other country. Now I have to apply for a damn credit card. What a chore this is turning out to be...all I want to do is get Real Debrid.
Yeah thats what I had to do but they ok'd it right away and I'm home.
Oh and none of these paid streaming services allow you to get networks live. I don't live in a metropolitan area and can't get locals so PS Vue is definately out. I do like some of the programming like some MSNBC On Demand watching Lockup have to see if it is available on Kodi. I typed in the search words as Lock Up and got some streams but the show is Lockup so have to check again
Also that video doesn't show you how to set up RD on Specto it is basically the same as Exodus but you might need some help.

Do I get some buffereing? Occasionally.
Do I get HD 1080 and even 4k? Sure
Do I care about getting 1080 etc? Knot reeely. As long as it's not a cam I'm content.
So for me, RD would be a waste of money.
YMMV

OK, on a re-quest (aka re-research) fer an OTA HD external antenna (indoor sucked). Fortunately, 90% of my targeted/desired 'local' stations are 48°-58°Az and no more da 45 miles yonder. Just determining da best home setup location. Gonna try to max utilize my ol' existing cable TV cabling.
Dis is just a heads-up to let y'all know I'll report my success, or lack thereof.
BTW, it's tuff to find a directional pattern/fixed 'tenna (all I need) without a rotational motor/remote. What I really would luv and buy in a 'tick/click' would be a wi-fi from 'tenna to house input wid a 50 mi. reception range.
PLMK if anyone finds one! I haven't...

It's not even as much as a coffee at Starbucks. But who buys coffee at Starbucks?

IDK if the HDTV antenna weren't so dependent on line of sight and I could find somebody to put it up I'd get one of the outdoor I can buy my own splitter but for $36 a month with HBO I think I will stick to Dish. They have a new package that is supposed to save you money but it's a money pit. $39 plus $10 for locals, $7 for DVR, $15 for HBO. I would never change packages if I did what I have is not available so I'd be more tempted. But for $36 with local, DVR, HBO I'd be crrazy to change it.

Yeah I edited that. I have been to Starbucks maybe twice in my life. Used to love the Caramel Machiato the 2 times I went though. I can eat at a junk fast food joint for that.Eye hait star*ucks.
To me... makes no sense to add annuder PITA to the pot.

Plus Florida is pretty flat correct? That makes a big diff I think. I'm going to check the TV in the motorhome with the old VHF antenna and see how many channels I get I have a converter box. I think I tried it once and got a couple of them but for now I really have a cheap Dish package and as long as I don't change it they can't take it away from me, who am I kidding they can do anything they want at that point I will drop Dish and do what I have to do to get the channels I want. I have a friend who would put the antenna up and if I had that I think PS Vue would be a good alternative. Works really well and a lot of channels. Maybe not tho because all the shows I watch are on Kodi.
Well SS came out with a thing about Kodi 17 and the reason they have been slow coming out with it is a lot of people have had the boxes for 2 or more years and the older boxes they made the X4 and X5 have the S802 and S806 processor which can't be upgraded to Android 5+ so they will not be able to upgrade to 17 you have to have Android 5.0 up which takes the S905 processor which since I got into this late enough I have. So they will be upgrading the SS1 to Kodi 17 soon but they will have a different update for people with the older boxes so they will still have 16.1 which works well still but probably not forever. Since they write the whole build it is taking them a while to get it all together but we keep getting this pop up saying you need to upgrade to Kodi 17 for Exodus to work right from Tvaddons. I guess there are a lot mor streams available with 17 cause they are using an https address instead of http and Kodi 16.1 doesn't have that capability.
