Good value at 30 quid and half hour setting it up, I had one for ages until I broke the remote

It's easy to set up yourself, loads of You tube videos showing you what to do.
The only grip I have heard about them is that you can hassle about a bit to get the best feed and what add ons are working, what ones are down etc. Although there are some online Forums which seem to keep you updated.

I have an andriod box but a few friends have a stick which is far easier to use and, if you get one via e bay that is fully updated and automatically updates, ongoing maintenance is hassle free.
As above, highly recommended, yes, the sky sports, and some other live sports streams, are not as good as HD subscription broadcasts, but watchable with a good internet connection, and access to movies, even the latest ones, is excellent (and Mostly HD quality). If you are a football fan you can stream almost every top game, including all the 3pm Saturday ko' seven though they are not being broadcast on tv.
Best endorsement I can give is I have a box but am thinking about getting a fire stick for another room (and as it's easier to unplug and move compared to the android box). Will pay for itself in months if you downgrade sky or virgin subscriptions.

You can get apps to control both the fire stick and kodi, as long as the remote being broken doesn't stop the stick working.

What's the legality of these things?

would recommend the fire tv box over the fire tv stick. much better spec and ethernet connection = better performance.

I have read, somewhere, that there is / was an EU ruling that streaming the content was legal, but if you download / record it then that is different. I wouldn't fancy being the person who is uploading it all though

Anyone have a box and a stick in terms of how they compare?
I've a box in one room but thinking of getting a stick for the other room if performance is similar etc rather than another box.
This one would be mainly for movies/programmes rather than live sport probably in terms of performance

I've had both, but sold my stick as the box performs better imo.
box has twice as much cpu and memory, and has ethernet as well as wifi. If your wifi is not the greatest, then this makes a big difference. The box also has a usb connection, this never used to work, but I believe a recent software update has enabled it, so you can attach a memory stick or hard drive.

btw - kodi users should have a look at kodiflix which has just come out. Same look and feel as Netflix, very nice build. I installed it last night and am very impressed by it.
