Amazon TV fire stick with Kodi.

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.
 
Got one, use it all the time, wouldn't be without it know.
 
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.
 
The wife's got one, she got it to watch some historical drama, about a hairy highlander. we don't have a great download speed but it appears to work fine as far as i know.
 
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.
