Attention KODI Users: Read before you continue
Government and ISPs endlessly monitor your online activities using your IP address 35.175.39.36 (exposed to everyone). Kodi is an excellent platform for streaming movies, TV shows, and sports, but streaming copyrighted content can get you into legal trouble.
You should use a reliable Kodi VPN and protect your streaming activities and privacy. A VPN will hide your IP address and bypass government surveillance and geo-restrictions.
I trust and use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure Kodi VPN. It's easy to install on any Kodi device, including Amazon FireStick, PCs, and Smartphones. In addition, it offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, and 3 free months with the annual plan.

How to install cCloud TV addon on Kodi
The installation process of any addon is always a bit long-drawn. Therefore, I am breaking it down into broad parts to ease you through the steps. Here is the overview of what you will do:
- Allow Unknown Sources: To download any third-party source addon, such as cCloud TV
- Add the source URL: To point Kodi to the location of the addon on the web
- Install the Kodil repository: The repository which hosts cCloud TV
- Install cCloud TV addon: From the Kodil repository
The steps that follow now will cover the above in exactly the same order as they are laid out:
1: Go to the Settings window from the Kodi home screen
Need to click the cog icon in the top-left of the screen
2: Now open the option System on your Kodi 18 Leia version
On the Kodi 17.6 version, it is System settings
3: Hover over Add-ons in the left menu on the window that follows next
4: On the right side of the same window, click Unknown Sources switch to turn it ON

So, these are the steps to install cCloud TV on Kodi.
Wait! It looks like you are all set to start watching your favorite content on Kodi. But have you protected your online identity yet? You are under constant surveillance by the Government and ISP. They use your IP address 35.175.39.36 to track you. Streaming free or copyrighted videos may get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, you can use a VPN to easily protect your privacy and go invisible from your Government and ISP. I use and recommend ExpressVPN with Kodi.

How to access and use cCloud TV on Kodi
You will find all your installed Kodi addons on the main screen of the Kodi app. They appear in the Video add-ons section
When you are on the home screen, DO NOT click Add-ons in the left menu. Just Select it
You should now see cCloud TV Kodi addon in the Video add-ons category. Click the addon to open it
When the cCloud TV addon loads up, this is what you see on its first screen:
There are over a dozen categories to stream live channels from, including:
- All Channels
- FilmOn
- English
- Top 10
- Sports
- News
- Documentary
- Entertainment
- Family
- Movies
- Music
- Lifestyle
cCloud TV Kodi addon also has two on-demand sections:
- On Demand Movies
- On Demand Shows
The on-demand collection isn’t that big. We are not complaining though. cCloud TV is supposed to be an IPTV addon. Yet, you may find some interesting movies and shows here.
There is a Non-English/International category too if you want to stream live TV channels from outside the US
In the end…
cCloud TV is a decent option to watch your favorite TV channels. It has neatly categorized channels into familiar and popular categories for your easy picking. There are plenty of channels from the US, UK, and many other countries.
cCloud TV addon on Kodi offers smooth navigation and quick playback. The only drawback is that some of its main screen categories do not have any subcategories for proper organization of the content. For instance, when you open the Sports category, you would want to have the streams further organized into subcategories at least by sports types (such as basketball, baseball, football, soccer, etc.) So, that’s a bit disappointing. Everything else looks great.
