How to watch live TV with Kodi?

Kodi is one of the most popular media streaming apps out there, allowing users to watch all the movies and TV shows they want. But did you know you could also use it to enjoy live TV? In this article, we’re going to show you how to do that.

You will want to use a VPN…

Watching live TV with Kodi isn’t something media companies love, with some ISPs even helping them block what they deem “suspicious” Kodi / torrent traffic. With a VPN, you can bypass these (and many other) restrictions and watch all the TV you want, like it’s nobody’s business. Cause that’s what a VPN is all about – to keep your web whereabouts hidden from prying eyes.

But I’m getting ahead of myself, here’s how you can get started:

  • Get a good VPN
  • Start it
  • Set up Kodi for live TV, sit back and enjoy!

That setup process isn’t that complicated, though there are a few things you should know…
You will have to configure the Kodi app, which brings us to the next section…

How to setup Kodi to watch live TV?

In order to be able to watch live TV with Kodi, you will need to install a few add-ons and plugins. The process isn’t too complicated, but you will need to find your way around the “System Settings” menu inside the app. Specifically, these are the steps you’ll have to take there:

  • Go to “Add-ons” and toggle on the Unknown sources option
  • Go back to the Home screen and again to “System Settings”
  • Click “File Manager” and then Add Source
  • Type “http://srp.nu/” in the empty field and then “Superrepo” to name it, click OK
  • Got back to Home screen and go to “Add-ons”
  • Now go to Package Installer (the opened-box icon), and click “Install from Zip file”
  • Find and click Super Repo, then Krypton and All
  • Click to install kodi.krypton.all-x.x.x.zip
  • Once the repo is installed and enabled, go to “Install from repository”
  • Click “Superrepo All [Krypton][v7]” and then “Video Add-ons”
  • Click to install “Ultimate IPTV”
  • Go to Add-ons from Home screen, and open Ultimate IPTV add-on

You’re good to go.

What you just did is installed the “Ultimate IPTV” add-on which happens to be one of the best aggregators of IPTV channels, allowing users to stream the channels live online. It is available in different languages, so you will be able to use it even if English is not your mother tongue. Or just want to practice your language skills.
