Think you can on some but not all. Kodi is available as an Android app and can be loaded directly onto some smart TV's.

There was a time when xbmc on either the Raspberry Pi or a kindle fire HD (or some other cheap android based tablet) was the way to go for everything from free movies to free premium TV.  While it's still not too bad the sheer number of users borne out of popularity makes reliability a bit hit and miss.  For anyone still going this route I'd recommend Genesis or Phoenix addons for movies and UK Turk for sport and older movies/tv series.  However, for picture quality the must have android apps are Mobdro for live TV and Popcorn Time for movies, both loaded onto an android TV box.  I have a number of minix boxes dotted round the house and for 99 quid they are tough to beat.  If you prefer to download movies, particularly if you prefer 1080p and/or 3d then the best method I've found is to download direct from https://www.yify-torrent.org/  Then simply buy a network hard drive, copy your movies to the drive and you can then watch from any smart tv in the house.

Anyone using any of the methods above to access any content for free which you should actually be paying for must understand that such activity is illegal.  You therefore do so at your own risk, additionally anyone downloading content without top quality virus or security protection is asking for trouble.  If you want the best quality without risk then pay for it.

Had one for ages Kodi but word of advise you wifi needs to be good speed

Genesis and Phoenix are getting worse by the week. Oversubscription leading to much buffering and having to drop to lower quality links to get them to play without trouble. I've stopped using them altogether now and just use Kodi as a media centre for music mostly, which after all, was what it was intended for. However, I'm hoping that their popularity will lead to a decrease in prices for the legal means of streaming and i will happily pay, just not the stupid amounts it now costs to have film and sport packages. Sticking with freeview and catch-up services for now and I'm not missing watching Prem games at all. Badly missing the cricket though and sometimes watch with a, shall we say, "alternative" to Sky sports.

And that Sir describes my position perfectly.  Instead of stupid money going to obscenely overpaid minorities, the providers should be looking to use growing subscribers to dilute the costs.   In a day where the vast majority have a mobile phone why do you have to have a land line.   Sick of being ripped off. If I buy a car I don't get told I'll pay less if I also buy a garage at the same time.  Thieving girl privates
