Most games. Think there has been about 2 Liverpool games missing in about the last three years or so.

Paid streams are better but free ones are available

Everything runs inside XBMC.

It is all on addons inside the main program.

So for a game you would choose say Sports Devil and look there for a stream.

Right I see.

What it is I'm losing the will with buffering acestream

I have looked at appletv with a view to watching games on a jail broken device but want to know the best way to do it.

Not interested in films only football matches.

I will try xbmc on my lappy next week but one day I want to get it on my 40inch TV in the living room.

Are there other TV boxes better than appletv ?

If you have HDMI out on the lappy you can just use that.

I have an Apple TV but I would not recommend that as you can get a cheaper Android box that will work just as well for less cash and won't need jailbreaking first.

Some phones and tablets have HDMI out as well. You can use a Hudl for it on a big screen for example.

Cheapest option is probably still a Raspberry Pi for something that attaches to the TV and will do XBMC

XBMC seems to run good on the Pi - although it does crash sometimes but mainly when doing searches or on navi-x searches in particular.
I still cant find any decent streams on sports devil so footy report is my last hope. I've got some games on the Bein Channels using Navi-x but the quality is poor.

try teledunet plugin for bein sports, sometimes it's not working but when it does the quality is good

Once you download the files leave them as Zip files and just go to System, Settings and Add Ons.

Then choose Install from  Zip File

Or rather than install you can go to System, File Manager and Add Source and enter http://fusion.xbmchub.com you can get sports devil from here.

I found superrepo.org you can down load most repositorys which include the add ons and then just go through option 1 installing from zip

Then you have to go into add ons and install each add on individually.

Hope this makes sense just trying to get my head around it all myself

Do this as it automates a lot of the most popular addons and is much easier

http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/2013/05/26/how-to-instantly-configure-xbmc-with-the-xbmc-hub-wizard-beta-addon/

For films/TV I use 1Channel or icefilms

For live UK TV there is filmon/notfilmon/expatTV/FTV

For sport there is sports devil but I use a paid streaming service

Downloaded this on my pc laptop but it seems to crash a lot, I installed the Navi-x add-on but the searches don't seem to be responding properly.

Might need to do a re-install.

Navi x is pretty unstable. I stopped using it. Continually freezing.

Tend to use mashup mostly these days.
