adequate8 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Decided to cancel Sky Sports (£50 a month!) and delve into Amazon Fire TV with Kodi. Highly recommended if anyone's on the fence, loads of free sky sports/football/UFC etc, and very simple to do yourself. Anyone else got one?

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yeah, I've got a couple of KODI boxes set up. Definately is worth it. I know it's supposedly pretty simple to set up, but I ended up buying a couple of crackers from Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted November 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 20, 2015 How do these work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TibBo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'd recommend an android box over amazon fire, as it is easier to put whatever you want on there. I have mame setup on mine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adequate8 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Kodi is an app you install on the fire tv, then you install channels. There must be 100s out there but you are basically installing streams of all tv/film/sport. There's loads of how tos and it takes about an hour. They're only £35 but cracked ones on eBay for £60. Great for prem footy, you get all the 3pm games too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostface1982 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'd recommend an android box over amazon fire, as it is easier to put whatever you want on there. I have mame setup on mine too.I have both, didn't have a problem setting either up but the fire stick is a bargain. It's quick, has a half decent remote and you can't fall off for £30.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) You should get one (Android Box) that's already pre-loaded if you're a total novice to it. Below is the one I bought. Works perfect. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141801628377 Edited November 21, 2015 by bAzTNM#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 21, 2015 If they are sending the two I got, then yes, everything is bundled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammorgz Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Never heard of these things but it's definitely got my attention. Is there a list of channels you can get and I'm assuming you need a fairly good wifi connection for this sort of thing to work well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I've recently got a Fire Stick and installed Kodi. While I'm happy enough with the plethora of free HD films and TV shows, a lot of the add-ons flat-out refuse to work. For example, watching US TV is near enough impossible and the only app I got it working on (Phoenix) abruptly stopped working a few weeks ago.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 21, 2015 All you need is "Genesis" really, if you're into your films. "Navi-X" for the cinema releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members stumobir Posted November 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Kodi's great if you're using it like you would Netflix etc but it's such a hit and a miss for sports that I'm not quite ready to finally tell Sky were to stick it. Haven't tried watching live TV channels on it but what I hear from mates that do, is constant dropouts or taking so long to find a decent stream that you end up missing half the show, basically the same problem with the Sports. Still, it's definitely worth the £30 and an hour of your time. Edited November 21, 2015 by stumobir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 21, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I've not had much luck with the sports channels on there, apart from BT Sports. Loads of streamers for that channel. Edited November 21, 2015 by bAzTNM#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarloKid Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 past few weeks Genesis has been a nightmare for getting HD streams for a few tv shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
