Ifso do you need to use a VPN with it?

Certain kodi addons use illegal streaming sites such as icefilms, most are blocked by the big 5 so a vpn would be required to use them to get around the block, however some smart dns providers work too.
If you wanted to use the legal addons such as ABC family, food network, travel, crackle etc you would require a smart dns or vpn as they are USA channels.
However there are a few legit UK addons such as filmon, bbc iplayer, itv player that won't require a vpn.
Some sevices such as NBCSports would require both a vpn and a usa tv provider login such as Xfinity, you would need to know someone in the USA with that service to get a login.
Kodi can be used to stream your personal media from your computer/server across devices too.
You would also require the correct addon repo too to get the streaming service you want ABC Family, Food network, NBCSports are in kodis own repo so there is no need to add additional repos from them, however BBC Iplayer, itv player are in different repos.Your best bet is youtube videos they will give you step by step guides on how to add repos/addons etc.
