Great topic, I’ve always wondered what the significance of the ticker was in today’s world (today meaning the last 20 years or so that they’ve had computerized quotes widely available). I think it’s just window dressing.
As far as Kodi goes, don’t rely on it for streaming live TV. You’ll spend a bunch of time getting live TV set up, then something changes and it all breaks, not worth it at all (time wise I mean, $ wise it’s practically free). Kodi is great for movies and TV shows you can’t get on iTunes, but it’s still easier to just buy it from iTunes than “evaluate” it on Kodi. Also, if you’re interested in Kodi, look into getting it running on the Amazon Fire stick using debugging mode. I run it on Pi, but that’s a pain to get it working. If I rebuilt it, I’d do it on the Fire stick.
