Re: Discovery channel

As OLD BOY says, you can get the Discovery channels for £4:99 a month if you are an Amazon customer.
You can also get the main Discovery channel in the Now TV entertainment pack which amongst others will give you Sky Atlantic too.
Both options are probably cheaper than staying on a VM TV package.

I'm curious, this is not the first time I've seen you post Kodi as a solution to someone's TV needs.
Can you read the code in a Kodi addon (its not hard)?
Do you realise the dangers in many unofficial Kodi addons?

To blithely tell people to use Kodi, especially the IT uninitiated does them a disservice and puts their accounts and home network in danger.

Kodi is not sandboxed and even using a VPN will not protect your home network or accounts from malicious code inserted into addons.
The wild west that the unofficial Kodi addons world has become may just mean that your IP is just being reported to the addon author, or it may just be that Google analytics are being used to gain the site the addon came from more traffic but these are the least of the evils being circulated within some Kodi addons.

As a 15 year user of XBMP/XBMC/Kodi I enjoyed the free "extras" while they lasted and were being given to the community by fellow hobbyists for free, but these days I wouldn't dream of recommending any Kodi addon not from the official repo even to my worst enemy until I'd seen that the code contained within it was safe!
