Hatch Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 Anyone have one ? Pros/Cons ? And can an idiot install and use one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 Pros - incredible amount. Loads of sports, TV, films etc Cons - sometimes, need a good internet connection. idiot-proof - YES...Google is your friend. LOADs of vids/snippets on how to add certain apps.

Heisenberg Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 I have 2 in the house and have configured about 15-20 now for F&F. KODI is brilliant I have this one from Amazon, but there are loads available. https://www.amazon.co.uk/DroidPlayer-Android-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00PTC05VS Code BIGTHANKS gets you £10 off £50 spend just now (Amazon). Configuration is easy - recommend installing Exodus which will give you TV series + movies galore (Think Netflix, Amazon prime, sky combined + more) Exodus is free You can also configure for live TV (also easy) I have a subscription to Smash TV (IPTV) and gives me 900 + sky channels. cost is £45 per year. Provides about 100 sports channels and every saints game so far this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 Some things to look for but buy one preloaded and all straightforward. http://androidpcreview.com/10-must-have-android-tv-box-features/3971/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 Would probably suggest installing on your PC first. Its free and add exodus (free) can then test with broadband ect before buying a box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 Presumably this is all illegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 Presumably this is all illegal? Kodi is not illegal, the contents you add and configure yes Kodi is like a DVD player, the DVD player is not illegal but does and can play dodgy DVDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to your "dodgy DVDs", not your "DVD player". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 January, 2017 Share Posted 20 January, 2017 Presumably this is all illegal? I think they recommend that you operate through a VPN for anonymity and peace of mind. You can easily Google Kodi and VPN. I have a firestick with Kodi and Exodus but haven't used it much so far. Intstallation and configuration was a bit messy and operation is a bit clunky but it's cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portugalsaint Posted 8 February, 2017 Share Posted 8 February, 2017 Since losing the satellite some 2-3years ago, we rely on one for even the basics. Our internet connection gives us between 2-5 mbs (you did read correctly) c**p. I have sportsdevil for matches, but, this no longer works. Can anyone give me any ideas?

View From The Top Posted 8 February, 2017 Share Posted 8 February, 2017 My F-I-L was on about getting one with a Firestick, which means nothing to me so would someone kindly explain how it all works and point me in the direction of buying one, something you actually recommend. Please remember that I'm a tech incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
