I'm not sure if there's a discussion on this thread regarding TV channels and access to online movies (sorry too lazy to back read), but most of the discussions are regarding setting up the movie library that are on one's personal collection. I just wanted to share some new tips I discovered with the Kodi installed on my newly acquired HiMedia Q10 Pro Android media player that is also applicable to Kodi (previously XBMC) on your HTPC's. The new items I've learned would allow you to have access to live TV and recorded TV programs from almost all the popular networks - Fox, HBO, HGTV, CNN, etc. This is a good option to cut your cable or avoid paying premium to your cable subscriptions.
I would not get more on the details on how to install as more detailed explanations are available on Google. On "Video" install add-ons from Exodus and Metalkettle, and from there you can install other add-ons and access to the different TV networks I've mentioned above (even adult channels are available via the different add-ons). The good thing is that almost all the channels I've accessed are HD quality, and considering that my DSL is only up to 8Mbps, the channels are playing smoothly. I'll try to add more details on this post when I have time, but it's highly recommended to have this add-ons because some of the available channels are not even available on local cable. I'm very much enjoying the HGTV channel.
