A lot of the buffering issues are related to the fact that Kodi (and exodus) have become much more popular as of late and the free servers can't handle the load. Especially for the HD content. I've been using some of the pay servers and they've been working really well.

For live TV, I've been using Phoenix. Been getting the Hawks games in HD pretty well.

NBCSN has the Hawks games on for the most part

What channels do you get on the pay servers for live TV? How much is it?

There is no live TV on the ones I use. It's for access to better streams of TV shows and movies that have already aired. I use real debrid, cost me $20 for 6 months. I no longer have any buffering on HD streams at all. The free stuff I couldn't get an HD stream to save my life.

For live TV I use Phoenix and it's been hit or miss on the HD, but haven't had any problems with SD / lower quality stuff

Yeah, there is no chance in hell I'd ever pay for TV Shows/Movies. I use Kodi specifically to get that stuff for free. I've never had issues streaming stuff unless its during the "entire neighborhood streams porn" time of night.

I just meant for live TV. My dad wants to use it for live TV for things like Fox News. He gets the local channels on antennae.

I pay something like $65 every six months.

Its basically a full cable lineup, but on top of that they stream every sporting event in HD, or near HD. The one caveat is that sporting events get precedent so sometimes the cable channels get overridden during a game....you'll be watching Pawn Stars, and all of a sudden it will cut to a Spurs game. That said, they rarely override the cable news channels (Fox, CNN).

You also get all sports PPV (MMA, WWE, Boxing) live in HD.

Channel List and Channel Info

Here is our Channel list, with 01-60 being our 24/7 Channels.
*Currently not all 01-60 are filled in, empty spots will come. Check back in coming days and weeks
About our 24/7 channels...
The streams ARE up 24/7, but typically evening ET(Eastern Time/New York) programming may not be shown, so we may bring you a full line-up of sports coverage. We change most, if not all channels in the evening (ET) at ~19.00 (sometimes 18.30 for Pre-Games) & 22.00 for west coast matches. If a match is scheduled on the same network on the 24/7 slot, we will do our best to keep that.
Example: Double header on NBA TV, will stay on its 24/7 slot

Kodi How-To:

Most importantly, download our official SSTV Kodi repo via our MyStreams.tv "Watch" page on our website. Do not download any SSTV repo that is not from our official website. You need to sideload the repo as you won't be able to install via a link as you may familiar with other repos. Again, you must download from our official website and sideload our repo.
To make sure your Kodi service works: In the Addon Options menu you must toggle "Service" to "MyStreams", not StarStreams. Also, select a server nearest to your location for best streaming speeds.
List and EPG View available through Context menu within Addon - to toggle the List/EPG view, press the "C" button.
Installing on Fire Stick - How to push zip files to Kodi on Fire Stick with adbLink - https://seo-michael.co.uk/how-to-push-zip-files-to-fire-stick-with-adbfire/
How to bootlaunch into SSTV - Install "Maintenance Tool" from the Fusion Addon Installer, and under "system tweaks" there is an option called "auto start" that will boot into the Addon of your choosing.
If you run into issues with Kodi, simply clear your cache as that can slow down your service. It does not have to do with our service, but is a Kodi issue.

so i signed up for smooth streams over the weekend and cancelled my tv. best live tv streaming i've seen other than Sling. although i would really love a better program guide. saving $70 a month makes it worth it.

Agreed. Their programming guide really only covers sports. Would be awesome to have all the regular cable channels have the guide populated.

Like you said though, the price makes it worth it, especially considering how reliable the streams are.

So I just got a firestick that I had my co-worked do for me. He added Kodi and Terrarium TV for me. He said Exodus must be down cause he couldn't load that. Terrarium is great for movies and tv shows but I want to be able to watch sports as well. I was trying to add the SportsDevil add-on last night and seems fusion.tvaddons.ag is down and was having issues trying to add it through Indigo as well.

Any suggestions?

Try this method

Or pony up and buy smoothstreams for ~$10 a month and have all sports live in HD with a menu/channel guide.
