specifically like the links above?

Are these things legit and do the App/Services really work with them? As in the "free" TV and VOD services? Like BLUE TV?

Mostly looking to cut costs since YouTube TV keeps raising prices but still want to watch Football and March Madness.

They are legit and do work. They are illegal to use. Most are installed with questionable software. You can be tracked by rightsholders using it unless you VPN your entire connection. The apps providing this content also go down frequently.

Safe option is to buy a box without preinstalls and put Kodi on it.

Google search found for live sports on Kodi (https://troypoint.com/kodi-sports-addons/)


I would recommend the firestick 4k Max as a device. Lots of guides on google how to install Kodi on firesticks.

Actual legit options you will still have to subscribe to, Sling orange or orange + blue just for the sports months.Cancel when over. $40-$60 a month.

The box the OP linked is not illegal to use. Where it gets into that area depends on what apps are loaded onto it (by the user) and what you do with them. A FireTV stick and Kodi can just as easily be used to access content illegally.

Troypoint.com is my go to source for FireTV and Kodi info. Great site and content.

Yea i was just basing it off the "Free" and wanting to watch football and MM. Those wouldn't be free without an app that sails the high seas.

These things were being used by some bad actors to load malware and get it on trusted networks. Just discovered a few months ago but have likely been ongoing much longer. I don't see why there wouldn't be another undiscovered malware on there.
