Lost channels

My husband - dirty beast - used to watch Venus, Hustler and Playboy late at night when he couldn't sleep. Two days ago they vanished completely. I found them on the Modbro 'Recently Watched' page but all 3 come up as a Pink page with 'Oh No, currently off-line and not streaming, try later.' But I still can't find them on the list of channels. Do you know where they have gone????? And how can he get them back? The OTT box still freezes now and again, I have to unplug it, wait, and it boots up again.
 
It just comes up as Error 404. I am on the verge of throwing this box out and waiting 3 months for Sky Q to be installed. every single day it freezes, sometimes twice or three times a day, it is a proper disappointment. Got to unplug it, wait, then plug it back in. This is the second one I have bought, only hoping to get tv in the bedroom. What a waste of money. Plus, it doesn't help if I am not an IT expert!
 
If it came fully loaded with stuff, try uninstalling that stuff.
In fact, uninstall everything that came with the box!

Then just load apps (like KODI) that you want and will use.

(Before you do this, make sure you have access to the Google PlayStore.)

It comes with a Home Screen of about 6 squares, and I scroll down to Mobdro which is where I access the tv channels. Which is all I want. What is Kobi?

It's quite possible that stuff, i.e. illegal pirate "free" streams or TV channels have been shut down, seized by the feds, or are blocked by your ISP. Are you in the UK or Ireland perchance?


This is Kodi...

In the UK. All I want is to watch the terrestrial and sky channels on my tv in my bedroom. Don't want downloads or films or google or play store. Nothing high-tech, just good old telly ! Don't think Kobi is what I want. but thanks all the same.

There are some dodgy IPTV apps you can try but they are crap.
KODI (NOT Kobi) is still the best program for streaming UK TV.
Just add the FREEVIEW UK add-on or any of the hundreds of similar add-ons.
There are also add-ons for SKY if you have an account with them, all perfectly legal.
 
I have the FREEVIEW UK add-on and NONE of the channels work! :)
So, if you are outside the UK, don't get your hopes up.

Hi there, last night I went on to Kodi and clicked on Programs and (I think videos) and somehow did some up-date of add-ons. I never found freeview -and to cap it all- I have now lost Kodi. The icon is on my Mbox Home page, and it is showing in my list of Apps, but nothing comes up. Just a blank screen. I think I am the Kiss of Death !
 
If you shut down KODI the 'wrong way' it may have corrupted itself.
Also - be patient with the add-on updates... especially on a new install as they can take a while to complete.

Try uninstalling KODI and starting over... which is actually good practice for everyone who buys an Android TV box if this app comes pre-installed.

My box came pre-installed with KODI 15 and it was rubbish.
I uninstalled the app and downloaded the latest version from the Google PlayStore.

KODI can be a bit of a bugger to learn if you don't have the patience.
It's NOT the same as a cable box and it takes longer to fire up your favourite movies and TV channels, etc.
To get the best out of it, install the 'AddOn Installer' soon after you install the app itself.

If you really want to get the best out of your box, make the time to check out the useful online tutorials.
There are some really useful ones... especially the 'BackUp' addon!
 
Hello, maybe your mobdro version is old, you need to upgrade this latest version of Mobdro 2.1.14 from this free MobdroPlus provider. After installing, you will see your favorite channels again with new features.
I found the address that provided the best live TV application for your device at: https://mobdroplus.com/
