How to stop live TV playback?

Hi there

Those of you that have this android box will know that it attempts to replicate the functionality of other sattelite / cable tv boxes, meaning that as soon as you switch it on it'll automatically start playing a live TV channel. whilst that isn't a problem, I have found on my box that during playback all the processing power is being used up and you cannot open any of the xbmc add-ons, all I get is what 'working' message in the bottom right hand corner.

So in order to use xbmc add-ons, I'd need to stop the live TV playback somehow in order to free up some processing power, but that doesn't seem possible for some reason.

Does anyone know a way to stop live tv playback?

Thank you cazuela for trying to help. I will try FTA channel and post back, thanks for the suggestion.

Cannot update to Kodi - here's the reason why I have explained in another thread:

thanks carlos99 however that's a really elongated route to using add-ons.
The suggestion to go to an FTA channel does work, although the some FTA channels yield success while others don't. BBC 1 London works.

Am going to do some more playing around in the coming weeks to see if I can find a solution which will allow add-ons to work regardless of which channel is playing in the background. Will post back if I have success.
