Feckin lightning strike, scuse the french

[BrenD]

I wouldn't have heard of Hisense were it not for their sponsorship of one of the courts at the Aussie open.

But they do seem to be making a move on Europe, probably isn't coincidence that their TVs are everywhere while they are one of the sponsors of Euro 16.

Hope that your insurance pays out quickly; glad that you are ok.

"Feckin lightning strike, scuse the french" ..... being pedantic ..... 'feck' is Irish actually

not good but on the upside you get to go shopping for new man toys

Finally got the insurance offer today and no man toys

Insurance gave us two choices on each main item that got hit. An equivalent from them or a cash payment

The amp they offered was an award winner from one magazine, plus we could not buy it for what they offered as a cash payment

None of the following items have man toy or grin factor on them, honest 

7.1 150W per channel Sony AV receiver with 4k Ultra HD upscaling <- zero grin factor, no man toy

49" LG 4k Ultra HD TV, with voice activation <- zero grin factor, no man toy

4k ultra hd i5 mini barebones pc with 7.1 sound, 240gig ssd, 750 gig western digital blue, 8gig of ram and windows 10pro <- worse than zero grin factor, no man toy

32" 1080p hd tv <- give me something to watch whilst I curse putting the other bits together

All being delivered on the same day and I'm out ambulance driving 

We did have to shop around for the best deals and two bits are coming from the amazon warehouse deals

Not sure if Kodi will run on that lot

Sorry to hear this bad luck Lee
At least you were insured and get something back.
Gawd I hate insurance companies

Kodi should run on a windows pc, this is for an older version of Kodi but it will be the same for the up to date version allkodi.com/install-kodi-windows-10 I recommend using Ares within Kodi and choosing the Apollo premium build within Ares to get just about any tv show, movie etc seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-ares-wizard-kodi/

Two weeks with no real tv and all that lot turning up in one day
I will be like a dog with six dicks playing with it

Plus we got stung for over 600 quid by a TV aerial company
Aerial, pole, wiring and a three way booster that plugs in, in the living room, with one wire in and one wire out

The machine that is due tomorrow, might be a tad bit of an overkill for kodi

No need for premium builds, I run three add on's
Film on, for steaming live tv
Exodus, set up accounts with all the free streaming services they list, change your dns services and there aint much you cant stream
Next aired, to keep track of when shows are on
Anything else is just unwanted bloat
A bit like all the freeview tv stations you can get. 95% of the station, you never watch

We intend to keep my old plasma tv away from any external aerial, just in case we get hit a second time
That happily shows kodi on an old desktop
