XBMC Live TV Channels & Custom Show Channels (All one Show)

• Mash Up is an amazing program that can literally be used for just about everything, but it's the best program to use for a few different things such as watching live streams of your favorite cable channels. On the main menu you would simply click the tab titled Live streams and more, and then you would continue on by clicking the option on the next screen that best fits what you're looking to watch. The one titled kimo5 is one of all around best.

There are a few sub categories to choose from on kimo5 that are pretty self explanatory. If you can't find what you're looking for there, just go back and try clicking around on some of the other options on the previous menu screen. You'll be amazed at all the things you can find by looking around all over the mash up program.

XBMC Sport

Sports Devil is all sports and nothing else. When you open the program the first thing you will click to watch live sporting events is Live Sports. Then next page will contain a list of different providers you can stream from. You're first choice is going to be wiziwig, after selecting it a menu of different sports will come up and you will click whatever sport you are trying to watch a game of. After selecting Ice Hockey for example, the program will refresh and bring you to a menu of games currently being played as well as upcoming games in the near future. They will all be clearly labeled and you will click the game you wish to watch which will bring up the next menu containing the list of different sites you can stream it from. This can sometimes be a bit of a trial and error process because not all of the links are always going to work all the time, and the quality can vary from stream to stream. I suggest going down the list until you find one that's up and running and good quality. Keep in mind, if you cannot find a working stream on one site, go back a few screens and then try a different site. Repeat if necessary until you find your game. When you find streams you like the best, make a mental note on what site they were on and which providers streams you were looking at when you found it. Ex: Wiziwig and the stream was titled "lag (10)".

This comes in handy because if it works for you once chances are it's a stream you'll be able to use again for watching that specific sports teams games.

Mash Up can also be used for sports, simply click the sports tab on the main menu and navigate your way through the different menus and streams in there. Kimo5 has always been a reliable source for live sports streams, mashup sports also has some quality streams on it. Kimo5 doesn't usually label each individual stream, instead you will click a menu saying something like HQ streams and a drop down menu with each stream will just be titled 1-30 down the list. It’s kind of a random mix of different sports games in there sometimes and can be tedious when trying to find a specific game but is a viable option if you're having trouble finding it elsewhere.

Live sports can also sometimes be found in the Live streams and more tab of mash up. Some of the menu options will have sub categories including sports, and if you know the game is on fox or something, you may be able to find a stream of the local fox station airing the game locally in the city it's being played in.
