So my friend has installed kodi on his pc and has enjoyed watching Canadian tv and an episode of South Park on it so far, and now wonders how you get the sports on it?

He uses cricfree with adblock on normally which works pretty well but the quality is a bit crappy. Any suggestions?

surely there are dodgy sorry digi boxes available in the uk
I get over 1200 channels here in Spain , BT Setanta Sky Sexta Bwin all for 80 euros a year in HD via my communities sat dish and the broadband
be better in January when we get fibre optic laid and 100 gig broadband instead of the 12 weve got via satellite

we can get all US tv if we get the right box but dont get time to watch it

I hope nobody PM's me the details of an Android App that allows somebodies friend to watch BT Sport (and other sports channels) in High Definition.

I'd really hate that.

The thing is, nobody reads the T&C's, and that's what they rely on; like Esablade said, with consumer contracts they are supposed to highlight anything that is to the detriment of the consumer. I do suspect I saw an advert, saw the pricing and there was a tiny "*" somewhere around with a shed load of tiny writing saying I had to be BT's bitch, that was part of my complaint, but only a small part (the vast majority is how useless they are as a company). I've talked to a few friends and family about this, and almost to a man, they had a story to tell about BT overcharging, continuing to bill them after a contract, crappy customer service, etc, etc. Back when they were the only player in town they might have been able to treat customers like that, but in this day and age it is incredulous that any company would want to be driving away paying customers!

Coming back to your point, I've never met anyone who has read the complete terms and conditions of anything (and I studied law, and did advice work for a time with an interest in consumer law!). You get an update for IOS and there's a 67 page, scrolling document with size 4 font filled with legal language, buy an operating system (Windows) and it comes with a 300 page EULA, hell, buying a book at Amazon probably comes with a few hundred pages of terms and conditions. Pretty much any corporate website will force you to click "agree" on a document that makes War and Peace look like the Hungry Caterpillar. Do you read those? Of course not, nobody does! If you did you'd do nothing else with your day than sit reading terms and conditions!

Wouldn't the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 cover this?

Unfair Terms
5.
—(1) A contractual term which has not been individually negotiated shall be regarded as
unfair if, contrary to the requirement of good faith, it causes a significant imbalance in the parties’
rights and obligations arising under the contract, to the detriment of the consumer.
(2) A term shall always be regarded as not having been individually negotiated where it has
been drafted in advance and the consumer has therefore not been able to influence the substance
of the term.
