USTVCatchup Kodi Addon: Step-By-Step Installation Guide

As you surely know, many addons for Kodi have been fighting legal battles. As a result, some of the most popular ones have shut down a week ago. This is forcing Kodi users to look for alternatives. If you’re one of those users, you’ve come to the right place. We will talk about an interesting addon called USTVCatchup. It has been around for quite some time but still manages to surprise us with its interesting content. So, let’s take a deeper look at the USTVCatchup Kodi addon.

Disclaimer: We will be talking about software developed for Kodi – which is based on open-source code. However, the following software comes from unofficial third-parties. In addition, it is publicly available and free of charge. TechNadu doesn’t claim any responsibility for how our readers decide to utilize the following software. Please note that we don’t condone sharing pirated content and copyright infringement. TechNadu is not affiliated with the software mentioned in this article in no way. Make sure to carefully read the above-said disclaimer and ensure the proper use of the software.

WARNING: Before You Continue…

TechNadu recommends connecting to the Web using a VPN application. The majority of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are able of tracking your Web browsing habits and collecting information. This kind of personal data can be forwarded to government agencies or sold to marketing companies. One of the consequences of these actions can be copyright infringement notices that some users of Kodi reported receiving. The only way to stop this from happening is to use a VPN.

• VPN applications encrypt your Internet connection. As such, your personal data stay hidden and inaccessible by your Internet Service Provider.
• VPN applications guard your online anonymity. A number of websites often use cookies to track your browsing habits. By altering your IP address, VPNs preserve your anonymity no matter if you visit websites or use Kodi to stream media.
• VPNs unlock restricted content. Using this kind of application, your computer will receive a new IP address that points to a completely different physical location. This is how you can watch region-restricted movies and TV shows.
• VPNs can improve your Internet connectivity. A reliable VPN application can de-block throttled connections and achieve better overall performance.

Based on our experience, TechNadu would like to recommend IPVanish. This has been our VPN of choice for a long time, making us happy with its features and performance.

IPVanish is capable of keeping your connection highly secure. It can also be used to watch region-restricted movies and TV shows. Finally, this application doesn’t affect Internet connection speeds. On top of that, it’s very affordable.

Sign up for IPVanish and try it out for yourself.

USTVCatchup Kodi Addon: The Basics

It is interesting to note that this addon has been on the ‘correct’ side of the law ever since it became available. That is because of the nature of its content. USTVCatchup collects publicly available TV shows on the Web and presents them in an intuitive manner. What this means is that it offers on-demand episodes that you can watch free of charge on the Web.

Upon launching this addon, you will see eleven different content categories. This addon has seen its better days since this isn’t as much content as it was a few months ago. Still, there are a lot of different and interesting TV shows. Let’s take a look.

• ABC seems to bring a lot of content at a first sight. However, it seems like only a few of the available items work at the moment. It’s up you to try out different options;
• Cooking Channel is a category where you’ll find one TV shows named Rev Run’s Thanksgiving Supper;
