Amazon TV fire stick with Kodi.

[road2ruin]

Droidbox running OpenELEC is a decent bit of kit, I have the T8-S and no issues whatsoever. I do also run the Fire stick in the bedroom and the main issue is it can be more complicated if you need to include Addon's that require a zip file e.g. Sports Devil etc.

I have been trialing Ruya which is very impressive although is a subscription service.

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.

legend! Got the app for my iPhone and it works a treat.

Spoke to a fella yesterday who had a fire stick which had Kodi but was also linked to a sky account with all the channels. It wasn't his account so not quite sure how it works, cost him 80 notes mind but he's over the moon with it.

Can you get the Golf Channel on it, live?

Sure can....in 1080p and 720p and it has been perfect so far, never dropped out or buffered. I use the blackboxostv build and the golf is in the Steaal2014 Section.

Shed load of adverts on the golf channel mind, seem to be every 10 minutes. At least the music when they are on is cool.

[HankMarvin]

Good bit of kit if you have a good Internet speed would recommend them for sure

Where do you buy them?

Argos, Amazon etc. Many places were sold out just before Christmas

Surely it's better almost instant in 1080p on a TV rather than having to keep clicking?

Just did a quick video to show it working.....

Cheers. Just been having a search around. So do I just buy the fire stick and then download Kodi to put on it or have I got it wrong.

You can buy it preloaded but you can save yourself a few quid by buying the stick and then loading Kodi. There are loads of you tube videos and web pages to help you. Also it is worth installing the theblackboxostv.co.uk as a build that saves you loading all the addons yourself.

Excuse my ignorance but what does Kodi do that the firesstick doesn't ?

I've got Amazon prime and I watch stuff on my IPad but was thinking on getting a gadget that plugs into my tv to allow me to watch it on a bigger screen.

And if I get a gadget that plugs into my TV should I get the Amazon one or would any one work the same ?

Im a bit of a philistine when it comes to stuff like this I'm afraid.
