Last week, my friend bought a new Philips Smart TV for his room to play games and watch TV in his free time. Since he doesn’t have a streaming service subscription, he asked me for free streaming service providers to watch local and international TV channels. I suggested the Kodi app for his Philips Smart TV. With the Kodi app available on Android and Google Smart TVs, it was very easy to install the app on Philips TV models running on those OS. If you’re using Philips Roku, Saphi, and NET TV models, then I am sorry to inform you that you cannot install the Kodi app on these TV models.
By being a free, open-source media player and an entertainment hub, Kodi is one of the affordable providers for any device. With video addons and IPTV addons available on the Kodi library, it was very easy for me to hook him up with local channels on his TV.
If you’re looking for an open-source media hub for your device, then Kodi is the best choice. If you wish to stream Kodi app on your Smart TV, then here are the steps.
