Exodus is an add-on used with Kodi to stream tv and movies- previous incarnation was Genesis, all very biblical-

Re: Goggle box- anything worth watching on TV?
I looked up Sneaky Pete and as far as I could tell it was exclusively on Amazon which is subscription based I believe. Unless there's some arrangement between Amazon and Kodi wouldn't that make it just as "questionable" as all the other methods that we all use for watching shows on sources other than those that broadcast them officially?

That is how you access programmes on Android boxes

Re: Goggle box- anything worth watching on TV?
I was just picking up on your response to Oink's comment about shenanigans and the legalities.
Perhaps I'm not wording it very well or I missed some sort of codespeak
Like it's legal to buy a short wave radio but not legal to use it for what most people use it for. Police radio, Air traffic stuff...that sort of thing.
Other than subscribing to the official carriers of rights owning broadcasters we're all viewing by technically able but 'unofficial' methods.

It's perfectly legal 
Snoopdawg is doing the same... though not watching my stuff... With an Android box she does likewise but watches her own stuff- Hawaii 5/0, Bones and stuff.
I find it amusing that that is the only android thing that she taints her soul with, I'm amazed that she doesn't want Apple TV though I've heard it isn't very good- as you know, she is a sad worshipper at the Church of Cupertino

HID watches all that nonsense as well. Luckily for me there's a distraction of a church just up the road from me that does some decent communion wine.
It's not, but its handy to hook up airplay to the tv.

Stunning TV, simply stunning.
I'm just taking the rest of the series and the three parts of the second series that have been on so far.
It's an amazing cast and I didn't recognise Peter Egan or Trevor Eve at all. Hannah Gordon...I'd not have known her if I'd not seen her name in the list beforehand.
On to part 2.

Re: Goggle box- anything worth watching on TV?
So first series of Unforgotten completed. Best series since the first series of Broadchurch I reckon. Possibly even better.
Unfortunately, series two of Broadchurch came in for a lot of undeserved stick, even if it wasn't as good. Also unfortunately, as much as I enjoyed the American remake, Gracepoint, I'm still remembering David Tennant's American accent and it's overshadowing his Broadchurch one.
Anyway, I'm all up to date on series 2 of Unforgotten and it's still great viewing. Homeland has taken a back seat for now.
Wendy Craig...OMG.

Re: Goggle box- anything worth watching on TV?
Just watched the first series of "The Expanse". SciFi genre, galactic geopolitics meets detective drama. Requires a bit of commitment as there is a lot going on but worth persevering with IMHO. Season 2 starts this week I think.
