That first part is right. But you specifically said, “ESPN3, Showtime, HBO, Disney, TBS, etc, etc, etc, all there FREE OF CHARGE streaming in HD on Kodi”
As if it’s better than viva but you failed to mention watching most of those channels on kodi would be illegal. You’d need a VPN. Or To be subscribed which means paying or a lot of time to install individual add-ons which isn’t a steady stream let alone HD. You’re not even guaranteed to watch CNN without interruption.
CNN is in HD on viva though.
