About £2000 in fines and loss of Internet when caught
I was told no end of line user has ever been prosecuted, only the people broadcasting.
Do you have any links Phil.?

They won't prosecute the end of the line user at the moment - more concentrating on the broadcasters. They will cut of people from the Internet which has happened. A lot of that was from Torrent users and file sharers in the past - the ISP's will be forced to block sites and feeds. ISP's will be faced with big fines soon if they don't do anything to stop the use of items on their service that allows people to get paid services for free.

Any negatives (apart from possible future prosecution!!!) at all with these? Have heard a few people talking about them.
I would be looking to buy pre loaded as am a technophobe. Is it possible to buy one with sports and movies only, as I will be keeping my Sky boxes for wife and son to watch their programmes

The fire stick gets hot and is liable to crash every now and then - sometimes the menu freezes when searching and it can also crash during updates.

Got the box mate, it's that good I got a second one for upstairs and now drastically reduced Sky to bare minimum.
Had no issues or problems, the only thing I'd say to anyone is, the better your wifi, the better the streaming, I've got BT Infinity and had no issues.

Agree on the wifi front, better and faster you have the better your stick will work

Petelav, hope ya well mate.
So much choice out there, it ain't goin away. Don't worry about being prosecuted, when has a scouser ever worried about that
I've had a droid box for a while (probably really old now!) and what I would say is that I personally wouldn't cancel my sky sports cos of it. That said, for watchin 3pm kick offs, PPV boxing, golf channel (in HD) and a whole host of other stuff they're worth it. It will never replace my sky box though but I believe there are things out there that more or less do, using the sky dish as well (Internet still required).
BT block certain add ons, like ice film, but I downloaded a VPN so that masks that. Make sure you have navi x and Pheonix add-ons on as well.
Who ever mentioned the PLP streams before, the badges are all the same but if you keep one highlighted it will show you which game the badge represents, there's normally 3 streams for each game, normally in HD.
For the price you pay, they're an absolute bargain. A good internet connection helps. A poor one, and I wouldn't bother.

Enjoying the Fire Stick and the Amazon side of things, watched all the Bosch series which was great, I don't understand the Prime side of things, will I eventually have to pay for access to that to watch new programmes, films etc?
Struggling with the Kodi Beast thing, I've found the sport so that's no problem but every time I try to watch Blacklist or Blindspot it says Source not found, had this on quite a few things I want to watch!

If yours was already preloaded then you have the Phoenix or Operation Robocop links to PLP - I'm on about the proper add-on which needs smartdns (masks your IP address) as the contents should only be available in New Zealand
The PLP app gives you highlights, previews and weekly review programmes as well as guaranteed HD streams of games - the links on Robocop/Phoenix only show the games

Phoenix and Genesis are generally the only ones I use for films. I get the No Stream Available message when the addon doesn't have that film ie The Force Awakens on Genesis doesn't actually have a stream despite it showing up in a search.

Yeah seen that one, Phoenix is generally the biz but it sometimes fails on US TV shows.
