Kodi's an application, formerly known as xbmc (Been using with various hardware for years). It's NOT illegal.
Not everyone uses Kodi for nefarious intentions.
Dedicated Hardware (Mounted with Velcro behind multiple TV's, including RV): "Raspberry Pi 3" (See Amazon)
Software:
LibreELEC: 8.2.2 (Kernel: Linux 4.9.59) short for "Libre Embedded Linux Entertainment Center"
Kodi (Latest stable version "Krypton 17.6")
This part seems to confuse some people...
My TV provider, FiOS/Verizon/Frontier, like most providers, rent Cable Cards ($4.00 monthly fee- I rent 2)
Then I purchase hardware that uses said cable cards: hdhomerun prime x2 (see Amazon) giving a total of 6 tuners.
At this point you could simply use Kodi for viewing live TV (Or from anything with a screen on your home network)...OR,
(Dedicated Computer as DVR, records up to 6 shows)
I use an old Intel i3 cpu (Small desktop computer running Windows 7pro, 32bit) setup as DVR, has around 8tb of recording space. Computer runs a (Free) program called "ServerWMC" that every system running Kodi connects to for viewing recorded TV, live TV and program guide.
I'll include, most newer TV's come with HDMI-CEC (see wikipedia) allowing you to use TV's remote for navigation of Raspberry Pi w/ Kodi installed.
Also, there's numerous legal video add-ins (Documentary,DIY,News) within Kodi
