Install and use Acestream with Kodi on Android TV

What is Acestream?

Acestream is a multimedia streaming platform best known for live TV with HD quality and sport streams that relies on peer-to-peer (P2P) bittorrent connections for maximum efficiency and to share the load of the stream. When you view an Acestream stream on your Kodi you share your connection with others and your Android TV loads the stream in small pieces from a number of other users. Where a regular live stream lags as more users connect to the server, an acestream distributes the bandwidth load across more users for a better experience.

WARNING!

ATTENTION! Always use a VPN when watching free sport live streams! Especially with addons like Acestream

ATTENTION KODI USERS: YOUR ISP IS WATCHING YOU!

Even without your explicit consent, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is collecting and filtering your Web browser data.

Using Kodi to stream copyrighted content might get you into legal trouble!

Also, your ISP might block access to specific streams, which leads to Kodi errors, or entirely blocked and throttled streaming. This is why users of Kodi should always use a VPN to make sure their identity and privacy are protected while streaming.
Before you proceed, please be informed that using Kodi addons without a VPN can get you a DMCA notice. Using a Kodi vpn can also help you unblock all Kodi addons. Be it Incursion add-ons, Gaia, Neptune Rising, Placenta or Sparkle, a VPN will not only help you unblock it but also keep your identity and privacy safe at all times.
