How to Fix Kodi SportsDevil No Stream Available Issues
To fix SportsDevil you’ll need to remove all of your older versions from Kodi. If Kodi is giving you a Sportsdevil “no stream available error“, then you need to download and update your SportsDevil Addon to the newest version with a VPN installed and running on your streaming device.
Our new step-by-step guide will walk you through how to install the working version of SportsDevil to Kodi. Clear your Firestick of older versions and empty the cache before you continue with the nest steps to install SportsDevil.
Step 1: Use a VPN
ISP’s have gotten smarter and are blocking servers that stream copyrighted content. SportsDevil won’t work if your ISP is blocking access to the servers. ISP’s can also throttle your speeds, causing buffering issues and unavailable streams. The way around this is to get a VPN. IPVanish is the preferred VPN provider for Kodi and has great deals.
Do yourself a favor and spend the small amount of money for a VPN. It makes you anonymous online and your ISP won’t know anything about what you’re streaming. They can’t throttle your speeds and they can’t block your IP address from accessing the servers. It’s cheap and totally worth it. Why risk your privacy online?
