Too many times over the past few years I've seen "trusted" repos and addons suddenly play havoc with peoples installs,
even the great Lambda had a brain fade and turned his most popular addon into a botnet.
There are one or two addon devs I've known from years back that I'd trust implicitly in their work but unfortunately they don't seem to be very active these days.

I notice the person I called out on this bad advice hasn't replied (again) lol

That's not quite true, I use several Kodi addons for legit services that provide a better viewing experience than their official counterparts.

Unfortunately as they are provided and maintained by hobbyists doing this in their spare time there are periods of downtime when the content providers change their website and/or apps that the Kodi addon is scraping.

My favourites are BBC Iplayerwww, which is unfortunately right now going through a downtime/bugs period as the BBC have changed their website and the addon author is otherwise engaged during this holiday time, but the Kodi addon is by far my favourite way to view Iplayer content during the 99% of the year it works.

Likewise Eurosport Player, this is head and shoulders above Eurosports new website and app versions, unfortunately due to the changes Eurosport have made you'll need to install a beta version of Kodi at this current time to get the addon working again.

There is also NFL Gamepass that I use and once again the Kodi addon is light years ahead of the NFL's new website and not in any downtime if you live within Europe as we do

I could go on with one or two more but I wont bore you more than I have
I'm lucky enough to know someone in the US who let's me use their US tv in exchange for a login on my netflix which is more than fair.
Using my vpn i've found myself using kodi less and less for tv these days my pc is now perm connected to my tv and is used as a media system with the various US tv apps and sites i get 90% of tv shows, movie wise i've found Netflix to be more than enough plus i recently discovered my local cinema does a unlimited pass for £15p/m which i've subbed too so get to see all the big releases reletavily cheap.
Sportwise the ROKU comes into play the big 3 for football fox, nbc and ESPN apps work perfectly on my vpn router set up. Only thing i use kodi for is old tv shows and streaming my personal media across devices but more and more networks are adding back catalogues.
