I've got the kodi working. finally. Installed exodus with skynet and 1080p. So far. Any movie I've tried to watch has all been camera recorded with Chinese on the screen.

If that's what all the rage has been. This thing has been a complete waste of my time.

Is there actual hd movie channels or is it all recorded from screen?

Exodus is on the way out. The developer quit about 6 months ago and the group who took it over is being sued by Dish Network. Its changed repos a few times since then and has a few shady clones floating around. You also are not likely to find many 1080p streams especially for recent stuff. I find 720 and sd to be fine especially on a smaller screen. Pick something from 2016 and you will see some hd streams and no cams. Try the builds I listed above. Stephen keeps the repos updated and once the wizard is installed its 2 clicks to update the build.

I have noticed the newer movies are cam recordings. On the other hand if you wait a few weeks a hd version replaces the cam version.

Directv now
Sling i think it's called
PS vue

I"m not sure what else is out there.

To get online, I have Verizon's unlimited data plan and a Jetpack in addition to my phone. The Jetpack gives 15GB/month at LTE speed, 600kph after the 15 is used up. I can use my phone hotspot for another 22GB/month at LTE speed, 600kph after that. On the phone, once the 22GB is exhausted I still get LTE on the phone itself most of the time unless in a congested area. I usually park at Flying J so I also have PFJ's $99/year plan. Between all this, I've got Internet when I want it! I use an Amazon Echo Dot to control the audio system - that's why I got the Jetpack. I also connect the TV to the Jetpack much of the time.

For television service, I mainly watch Netflix which will work even at the 600kph speed if the signal is at least a full bar - it just takes a minute to buffer at the beginning of the movie. The Echo Dot works fine at 600kph. I usually save the phone hotspot bandwidth for connecting my tablet since that doesn't work well at 600kph. I have Amazon Prime...that will not work at 600kph and a movie will chew up 1/3 to 1/2 of the 15GB Jetpack allotment, so I only use that if on the PFJ wifi. Finally, I have MLB network - but that uses like a gig an inning, so I also use that only if on the PFJ wifi.
