Gone are the days when people depended on Cable TV operators to supply them with good channels on their TV. With streaming, users can access anything they want, and the options are just limitless. In the last decade, hundreds of streaming services have sprouted across the world.

About Sky Sports

Sky Sports is a streaming subscription which offers more than 10 channels. The service is widely popular in the UK and Ireland, while it has a modest fan base in other European countries too. The network is known for broadcasting sports such as football live streaming, cricket, rugby, motorsports, boxing, basketball, and more.
Most people who watch Sky Sports received the subscription in their TV bundle. However, if you are looking to subscribe for Sky Sports only, it will cost you £20/month in addition to a Sky Entertainment TV package. Alternatively, you can take two Sky Sports channels for £22/month, three for £26/month, or all seven channels, plus the Sky Sports Main Event roundup channel, for £28/month.

About Kodi

Kodi is an open source media player which has millions of users worldwide. Launched just a few years ago, Kodi rose to global popularity because of the fact that the content on it is infinite and absolutely free. It can be installed on practically any device that has a screen, connects to the internet, and can be used for streaming.
Just like there are apps on smartphone, Kodi has add-ons. For anything that you want to watch on Kodi, you need to install a relevant add-on, one which can give you access to the content you are looking for. Installing Kodi add-ons is a simple task too. If you are not familiar with the add-on installation process, check out this guide here.

Final Word

Geo-blocks are a worldwide problem which prevent streamers from gaining access to and watching their favorite sports matches. More so, ISPs around the world are throttling users’ bandwidth, slowing down streaming speeds and ruining their experience.
If you are tired of all such issues related to streaming, and are looking for something that can actually add value to your streaming experience, a VPN can make that happen for you. It can give you instant access to anything you want to watch and keep you safe from all online threats.
