How to watch live Indian, Pakistani, Arabic and other international channels on XBMC / KODI.

So you have recently bought your android TV box, or other IPTV box and wondering what next. Where do I get all the unlimited channels to watch as everyone on the internet claims?

Well, there are some online stores in Canada and United States that sell quality android TV boxes fully programmed and they work right out of the box.
