Thank you for the welcome, I've enjoyed your informative posts during my lurking days.
With regard to your sig I think I have to confess after the umm....excrement I've had to clear up for friends and family who wouldn't listen to my advice I'm quite prejudiced against many aspects of the "free tv" side of Kodi.
What I forgot to mention in my first post is the damage that can be done to your system by installing iffy repos, luckily so far the script kiddies doing malicious things have kept their activities (as far as I know) to deleting their rivals addons and repositories but it wouldn't take much skill to wreak havoc on a Kodi install with a few lines of Python, I would really urge anyone not fully au fait with Kodi to only install addons from the official Kodi repo.
For full disclosure there is one site mentioned in this thread that I personally would trust on the basis that they have enough old school OSS devs to keep them honest but I'm pretty sure as most of their addons are non legitimate with regard to copyright to say who would most likely get me banned here as soon as I've joined.
To sum up my feelings on this subject and to use a cliché if something is too good to be true it probably is and also do not think you can cut the cord with Kodi, you will be disappointed at some point.
