Only been using kodi for 6 months and most good links can no longer handle the increased traffic and are closing.

I noooo not more Kodi users...

She cannae take the strain, Captain!

​So much content out there..One closes but others open. I keep up to date via dedicated forums and don't have any issues, but then again I'm interested in this kind of stuff.

As expected, no sign of the stick. Refund time.
Can anyone else vouch for an good android box around £30 such as the one posted above? (No reviews with for that one).

Same here too. "Must have been out of stock when you reserved it" "Sorry, it is in stock now but will cost you £5 more". Gotta love Argos

Just picked mine up no problem.

Get one of these for 40 notes delivered..**** on the stick. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B019SKCKZU?ref_=pe_385721_51767431_TE_dp_1

ordered and paid 4 mine over a week ago and got email 2 say in store this week. been in twice now to b told they dont have my order due in this week. get email 2 mins after leavin sayin there is an extension on my "fast track" of another week!! think i will just go elsewhere

Mine expires 22nd too, I have called them twice and am now told they are expecting it to be on the delivery on Friday, I however do not expect to receive it which is pretty annoying when you consider they have had my money since 10th Feb.

Same again here.
Smells a bit fishy. Nowhere local has them. The guy seemed pretty sheepish about it.
Said to ring back everyday to see if they have arrived but my reservation runs out on 22nd....watch them be in stock 23rd at higher price!

There is a new add on which replaced Genesis called Specto. Most of the links seem to work great.[/quote]That is NOT replacing Genesis. Exodus is released yesterday by Lambda.



There are LOADS od add ons.You just have to know where to look and learn how to confidure your Kodi.

Just been to pick mine up from Argos today as the email said. Not there! Not happy

OK agreed, was definitely to do with not knowing what I was doing. All working great now :smiley:

​dont tell people it will break again

Yep - I actually enjoy messing around with it.

Correct Bresslaw.Once you suss it out and configure it to your liking you can't go wrong.

Can't get any stable kodi stream to work, not worth the argro. Seems like I will be spending more time looking for stuff rather than watching it

Did not stay £30 for long

Yes lots of them.... but it depends on various things
1) Using Wifi, is that a must ?
2) Whats is the price you want to spend?

If you are close to the router and can use a LAN cable then get a Minix X-8h or Nvidia Shield TV (Remote aint the best on Shield TV but box is great) They are very expensive... Sourcingbay have some great devices on there website and are also a seller on amazon too :smiley:

I recommend a device with 2GB Ram and 2.0Ghz chip £35 - £50... Then delete ALL of the bloatware and junk that is pre-installed like facebook, whatever version of kodi is installed... Now just install latest kodi, showbox and whatever you want.... dont fill it with junk you will never use... :smiley:

Hope this helps

Thanks for info I installed kodi on it myself. I actually have raw maintenance installed but not cleaning it regularly haven't helped the speed it once had. I'm going to look for auto update to see if it helps thanks for the tip

You can't beat a fixed ethernet connection.Sticks are just useless if you don't know how to side load or use es explorer.Get a decent box,plenty out there..

lol the beast is garbage and now has a PIN number and can only be downloaded 5 times a week. This is meant to stop box sellers, but all someone has to do is make a wizard and every time the beast is updated they can update theirs by downloading it with their pin and uploading it to their wizard. Great way to stop people selling your build but I am afraid it won't work.
There are plenty of good builds out there if you know where to look.

Better alternative ?

Done this to me also, so I reserved another item to my basket first then added the stick and it let me reserve them both, I'll just pay for the stick upon collection tomorrow.

I can understand why "The beast" is popular as he has the fire stick slim version so this is a good option, do any of the others mentioned on here have such a version?

I overheard people talking about these yesterday and 'husham' was mentioned. I'd like one for sky atlantic and fox.

Can you install showbox on this?

​They often do promotions at £17 for prime members.

Best Kodi player on sale

Great advice....

yes bud have done this from the start... thanks though these are known to be flakey though on the wifi side of things to be fair. Mate i have one of the best wifi router available on the market Billion BiPAC 7800DX Triple-WAN VPN ..:wink: I also have TP Nano on each level of my house as mentioned in previous post and everything else in the house phones tablets xboxes are well and truly catered for. Scan for wireless channels have been done and set up according to whats used around me in my road so everything has been taken care of. This is the only wifi device that isnt quite up there ...but its still good for £20 that i paid i have 2 and the one closest to the router and i mean about 1m away is perfect....Would recommend these still though for the cash and a Kodi entry machine these are brill

Back up to £34.99 now, that offer didn't last long!

Be aware the wifi range on these are not great , you have to be fairly close. I have one upstairs and one downstairs the router is downstairs and that one is fine. The one upstairs is flakey though.

Righto - if you haven't installed the Repo's that host the add-ons (or someone did it for you like this) then the add-ons won't auto-update, but other than that they should - or it's as easy as going into System, Settings, Add-ons, Available Updates, Update all.

As for a lack of memory, install Raw Maintenance from the SuperRepo repository, and run the 3 tools in there (thumbnails last though), cleans it up a treat if run weekly.

If you haven't got the Superrepo repository see if you have a Green Icon for 'Add-on Installer' under the Programs menu, as that makes installing new add-ons a breeze.

Best way to find instructions on everything Kodi is to search Google using the words 'SEO Michael' in the search and whatever add-on it is you want, as his pages give step-by-step instructions.

I've had my fire tv stick for about 7 months now and I installed kodi on it and at first it was running like a dream I had all the sky movies all the sports. I was genuinely chuffed and so glad I ditched sky I also put on showbox which I watch my movies on and everything was perfect that was the good part now for the bad. You do have to keep the fire tv stick upto date I haven't updated mine since I bought it now I can't get any live steams at all for my sports it's all I watch it for to be honest. I need to update my stick to get kodi running again but haven't had time. This stick will not replace sky virgin or bt but it will come close I'm not complaining I would rather look for links then pay for tv which I've done for years!! Another thing the stick fills up with memory really fast and can slow down the speed of kodi mine runs really slow I don't use it very often any more I have turned to watching my sport on mobdro on my phone or Cricfree.tv on the laptop much more reliable for me at the moment. Hopefully once I update my kodi up to date it will run smoothly again

Exactly keep standard kodi and just install the bits from the beast you use..most of it on there you don't need or can't use

Yes could do is that easy put the beast and kodi on myself?

Got the beast so what builds best at moment?

What is a TV Licence lol.I will not fund them paedos.

Worth having just for sport the best movie addon Rock crusher has gone gutted, best to just get basic sky package and use this for football and odd movie. Anyone know a good movie sight now about apart from stael?

lol the beast is garbage and now has a PIN number and can only be downloaded 5 times a week. This is meant to stop box sellers, but all someone has to do is make a wizard and every time the beast is updated they can update theirs by downloading it with their pin and uploading it to their wizard. Great way to stop people selling your build but I am afraid it won't work.

Whats the best build for kodi?
Gone from wookie to the beast to the paradox black box any better ones?

People still buy TV licences??????

£35 on argos :disappointed:

That's very clever thinking :smiley:

Thanks for the advice.

Total noob here for this type of thing. Looking for opinions as to wether to go for one of these, or to go for a Google Chromecast. Being lazy and don't really want have time to do a shedload of reading up on which is best, so if anyone could give me a basic breakdown of what each has to offer/advantages over the other it would be appreciated. Cheers.

Don't worry, the stick has 5Ghz WiFi, use that with a half decent signal and you'll be fine. Most buffering is down to the feeds themselves but 2.4Ghz doesn't help.

Make sure you have a half decent internet connection if your ordering one of these for the 'cheap' option as you will get a lot of buffering else as their wifi only.Better off spending an extra £10-£15 and getting a M8S with 2GB of ram.Anyone looking at any Kodi help - join my group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/488153121351032/

This is brilliant for movies and tv shows... everyones complaining about live tv, well what do you expect, its a streaming device, if you wanted something that was near glitch free i would recommend a different 'TV BOX' like paying for sky tv, if you know what i mean.

Fair enough lad,that's unlucky, its fine for me

I've used Phoenix for over a year fella, I know what the add on offers and is like and it has been hit and miss on live streaming for me.

I never said you haven't a clue, i'm just telling you what i watch every week and have done for the last 9 months.I also pay for live TV as its very hit and miss.I'm based in Ireland so maybe the streams I get aren't available in the UK but you should have a look on Saturday as i'm not making it up!

Your speaking to me like I haven't a clue about Kodi, I've been using it since it was on the Original XBox and currently have it installed on over 20 different devices!

Not all are in HD, not all games have links that work.

I pay to use IPTV for a reason!

Yes you can, the valhalla addon (under live tv, then live games) in Phoenix carries every premier league game and they are all in HD. The links go up usually just before the matches start

1200+ degrees *save £5*. Really hukd. Really??

I dont steal
I only stream

Not every, not all HD either.

They asked for "best source". By that I took to mean 1080 quality with reliability, no buffering and choice of different sources (NBC SN, PLP etc, etc)

Buy another one, don't open it, and return it with your first receipt

I use the FireStick version of SpinzTV from Ares. Faithfully replicates the FireStick theme in Kodi.

Yep, wrong on both points. The Stick isn't particularly fast, and you are obviously looking in the wrong places for Kodi content.

One of the best things about the FireStick is that you can power it off the USB port of the TV. Makes it even more compact in that you don't have to carry a charger as well.

I always plug it in the back of the tv when staying at hotels etc.

I feel the same about Sunderland :neutral_face:

If this is the only source of TV in the house, with it being entirely ' on demand' it has the added benefit of TV licence exemption.

The only prob I've had to be honest ... is how cr*p Newcastle have played this season .... don't think I can blame the firestick tho for that ....

Our modem router is upstairs far away from the main TV downstairs which has the Fire Stick connection. To get the best wi fi signal I used two home plugs, one connected upstairs to the modem router and one downstairs near the main TV. Then using a second old modem router I configured it to the strongest signal/channel and cabled it directly to the home plug downstairs and placed the modem/router directly under the fire stick at the back of the TV to pick up an excellent wi fi signal as we are on a standard snail broadband connection. It eliminated a lot of buffering.

Since purchasing the £25 misprice Fire Stick from Argos last August we tend to use the Fire Stick for entertainment more than watching normal terrestrial TV. I'm a sucker for old TV shows and movies and have nearly completed the comedy series Soap which was aired back in the late 70's. I find Genesis, Phoenix, Turks and Youtube provide all our TV programmes and movies galore. If you like sports try ZEM TV add on.

I've been watching them for months and always had a 720p stream, The streams are taken from Premier league pass which operates in Asia AFAIK

I've never had any problem watching a good quality link. You've just got to know where to look. The West Ham game last night was on Woody on the Fox1 link in near HD quality.

ChrisB has too ... but whether its permanent ... time will tell .... woody of phoenix did the same for a bit ....

It will just work better. I've had a few builds on mine but if you use kodi regulalrly you will realise that you only use a few add-ons. Phoenix for the football, 1080 Movies, Specto Genesis & UK Turks for the TV shows etc. Have a think about all of the stuff on the build that you don't actually use...

You can't guarantee that. Sometimes you get great links and other times few work and the quality is poor. I also believe the guy behind Robocop has wrapped it in.

Done this to me also, so I reserved another item to my basket first then added the stick and it let me reserve them both, I'll just pay for the stick upon collection tomorrow.

That's ChrisB who is the builder of "The beast"

He is mostly right mate... these stick are ok but very frustrating for most of the noobs who buy them!!!....

You can get EVERY premier league game in HD on either the robocop or phoenix addon, both are free

quicker for what ?

For watching movies and films you're far better off using Android apps like Cartoon HD, Popcorn Time and Movie HD (no, you won't find them in the playstore - just search using Google) on your phone or tablet and casting them on to your big tv. You can use Kodi on a Chromecast ( http://www.alphr.com/google/google-chromecast/1002065/chromecast-with-kodi-how-to-install-kodi-on-google-s-streaming ) but honestly the apps I listed work perfectly 99% of the time where as with Kodi you're lucky if even a third of links actually work at all.

Done this to me also, so I reserved another item to my basket first then added the stick and it let me reserve them both, I'll just pay for the stick upon collection tomorrow.

It will be quicker without it.

Doesnt seem slow at all on my firestick with the beast1.5 especially for firesticks etc ... but hey what would I know

He wasn't complaining just stating his observation and he's right. These days using Kodi is a very frustrating experience.

for people asking about builds ... this is VERY highly thought of for installing various builds .....

https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-ares-wizard-kodi/

I dont have a firestick , i installed it on my tablet and link it to my tv
I am tempted by a firestick , plug n play and leave it plugged in

All builds are a bit heavy fro the stick. Just stick the main 4 or 5 add-ons on and it'll stay fast.

hi, not all the m8s are the same, i'd more likely say the same-ish. Theres some that have better audio than others and some that handle video completely differently too even with the same gpu (allegedly). I would however highly recommend any of them, just look at reviews etc on amazon before buying. Its usually running games, not kodi that shows up which are good at what etc. Personally I use Beast 1.5 via Areswizard ... install PUBFILM its by far the best addon out there at the moment. I've been testing a game we're working on thats got a lot of gfx stuff going on and its just about OK on the firestick but rather nice on the m8s / m8 machines, even bettter on the s812 based console I've got ... but thats another story lol.

Defo worth a punt at this price. The stick is quite good and fast, I use it for the prime tv/movies and love it. As for Kodi fans waste of time and money if you just want it for that. The links for Kodi are unreliable unless you pay and even then it can be hit and miss. Stick the prime services cant go wrong

The beast is a install you can put onto kodi
Gives you movies , sports etc etc

Beast Install, I'm lost?

Always thought the smart part of my TV was pointless beginning to think I've been missing a trick for the past year

So it might work on my cheap Phillips one then?

Probably better you say no save me asking how :laughing:

Beast!!!!

I'm not a fan of the firestick/kodi thing - too much faffing about to get what you want from it.

​Why don't you just buy it again for the lower price and return the brand new one just purchased using your original higher receipt.

Can I add Kodi if I have a smart TV anyway?

Nothing that you said is right

Interesting to see if Amazon price-match this, which could make it £19.99 using the Prime Now app until Sunday anyhow.

Great little things. kodi black box build is awesome but I find that there is quite often a lot of stuttering when watching at peak times because of bandwidth problems on servers.

No ITV player - COLD

Idiots for paying for a hassle free service, no updating, instant HD/4K streams, hundreds of channels & a brilliant support team ?

Yea, you keep deluding yourself & stick with the free stuff.

Backs up my earlier post about people being clueless when it comes to this relatively new technology.

I wonder if amazon will price match? although not in stock with amazon

Interesting thread

Never seen that before on Argos. Just tried to reserve one but it says these are selling fast so pay before you collect

ordered thanks OP, if kodi runs Indian channel addons properly I'll be keeping it

Amazed large sellers like him have never been raided.

Disagree, your illegally watching sky tv and other subscription channels, this is why kodi links change all the time

anyone know decent streams of top gear,tried all the main addons nothing works,the ones that do work are rubbish quality.

Wireless on these is terrible! Have one in our dining room which really struggles with the router being 2 floors above it. Nothing else in the house has difficulty, even the Gen1 NowTV box it replaced was absolutely fine. The FireTV stick frequently either disconnects or just gives up and throws up a random error about lack not having a strong enough signal.

new to kodi, can anyone please pm best forums etc and what to install for live streams etc

Why is no one using Primewire with a custom domain on Kodi (google it). 100% reliable links, rarely have a dead one. Couple that with Modbro for live TV and you have a mean device!

Get a new one and then return it with the old receipt

I agree kodi is hit and miss for live streams but is great for the latest movies and catchup popular TV.

Best to use the short adapter lead that comes with the Stick as it acts as a wifi aerial

Irrelevant .....the Question was 'What's the BEST Kodi player' ?..... the answer is the NVidia Shield TV.

cant go wrong at this price, though i highly recommend getting the box. Much faster navigating through menu's.

Lots of streaming links work fine you just need to know where to look. You can pay a few £ a month for a real-debrid account, which basically gives you premium on popular filehosts.

Or even better, get a cheap seedbox and upload torrents to it, then stream directly from it without any problems

​best way is to see if you have the superrepo repo, as its in there.

or search for SEO Michael raw maintenance, is the top hit on google, easy instructions with pictures.

as more I read about this stick as more I think its cheap piece of plastic wich is not worth to pay especially if you have smart tv. I hope im wrong. I am still new bloke in this IPTV thing etc and was thinking to get one but ended up with MAG254. Device is loaded with 150 channels: SD, HD - whatever channel braodcasts quality orginally. And of course i had to pay for 1 year subscription worth £66. Less than 6 quid per month is not so bad.
Before that i had a go with Kodi pluggin installed on my Sony smart tv and was not impressed with the quality of the picture at all streamed over the internet. Cheap thing is cheap. I always think you cant expect good stuff for free all the time. it will be good only for very short and limited timeframe until its gone.
There is only 1 good thing for free - a cheese in the mousetrap.
You will need to spend hours finding a good worth attention pluggin to watch streamed live tv. Forget about HD quality live football. Dont see it comming. The best you will get is substandard picture.
Like some one posted before - want quality - buy subscription.

Hello, is this the add on in Kodi? Or is there another raw maintenance tool that can be run to cleanup the fire tv generally (i.e. other temp files etc outside of Kodi)? Thanks

Hope he is a member, or he will be kicking himself

How much is it again?

3 Camels often miss restricted deals or short lived ones as it depends on when they scrape the data from Amazon:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/amazon-fire-tv-stick-19-amazon-prime-only-prime-day-2245715

900 plus degrees for a fiver off? Madness

Get an ATV or decent android box, much more stable

any links to a decent box ?

Only been using kodi for 6 months and most good links can no longer handle the increased traffic and are closing.

>>>>
Just search "superrepo" that will put you right back in the loop ;-)

>>>>
HEAT, thinking about the value of the voice search version V this one, anyone used
the voice remote daily?

And the dedicated remote control, which is far better than messing about with some remote control app on your phone (or a mouse, or a wireless keyboard etc etc).

Whats the best source for 3pm kick offs?

Mate Kodi is ok on these but it will NEVER replace your main stay TV provider , i have openbox and sky + plus kodi i just use kodi for the odd movie and 3pm kick offs that are not on BT. But sometimes by the time you find a stream that works its a hour later and you have fallen asleep lol. No FULL channel live TV (Sky etc) unless you sub to a IPTV stalker . Dexter live TV has gone to subscription now too since all the people have jumped on these. film on TV is ok for most English channels.

I've been thinking about getting one for some time now , please can someone tell me what app I need to watch normal terrestrial TV channels , Thanks in advance

Lol

Guys, thinking of one of these to take away with me on hols. Is this possible, use my phone as an hotspot with data disabled, connect both my tablet that has films on and this the fire stick to the mobile hot spot, would I be able to stream films off my tab to this stick?

Any chance you could PM info on those dedicated forums? Also any other useful stuff :smiley:

I feel way out of the loop atm, stuck paying for netflix, amazon and netflix. Must be better options.

Can you use an Ethernet adapter for these?

Aside from Kodi you can install any other android apps as well.

Don't install "Mobdro" (It's not on the app store you have to Google it) for streams of every sporting / paid channel because that's illegal.

The Fire stick is ideal if you don't have a smart TV or access to web apps through your cable provider. I use it for Netflix regularly and works brilliantly. However, YouTube is completely unusuable although it was fine initially.

Everything.

I mean. What do stuff can you watch on Kodi?

Could use prime now and get it within an hour for £24.99 with the £-10.00

All you need to do, is return the brand new one just purchased with the old receipt. A fiver is a lot of money.

What is Kodi?

Install Raw Maintenance and run it's maintenance tools to clean out the cache, the packages and the thumbnails, as they make the stick run slow.

I run it weekly to keep it working as good as new.

Buy a new one. Return the new one with the old receipt.

I thought of doing that but the returns policy says unused and with all the original packaging if it is not faulty and I have thrown the plastic bags and the sticky plastic stuff off it away and is it worth the hassle for a fiver ?
I just thought that as I know for certain that other stores such as Amazon always refund the difference then Argos would have done the same

whats the best forum out there arjun311?

good price, but my fire stick struggles at times and I might invest in the sumvision box!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00P7WI8AA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1FVAHZ0JCKW6O&coliid=I2NTO3DWHDNIVG&psc=1

paid £18.00 for mine last summer from amazon worth doing a camelcamelcamel alert (even though it does not show £24.99 as lowest - this is wrong)
Only wait of course if you are in no rush, just saying price can get that lower than OP.
ps
good device, but uses a lot of data.

Just a heads up, fire stick with voice will not install kodi via ES.

Lots of the good kodi streams have closed now, Not surprising really.

and from what I hear. please correct if untrue, your exempt from tv license fees if your tv is streamed only.

I noooo not more Kodi users...

She cannae take the strain, Captain!

It's fantastic, it's portable and it's small. highly recommend, I bought it when it was 19 on prime day

Exactly right. If Joe Bloggs thinks this is a reliable replacement for Sky/Virgin TV, they are living in a dream world.

If you like messing round for hours trying to find a decent link or plug in, then this is the set up for you.

And Firesticks are far from the best Kodi device out there.

Go and buy one now, then return it using the £34.99 reciept?

I've never seen them for £19.99, nor has camelcamelcamel?

http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Amazon-W87CUN-Fire-TV-Stick/product/B00KAKUN3E

I bought one of these from Argos late on Monday afternoon for £34.99 and have just been on their online chat service to see if they will refund the difference in the price as it has dropped so soon after purchase as Amazon and other retailers have done if the price dropped with 28 days.

They refused and as I have thrown away some of the plastic bags and sticky plastic it came with I can not return it and get another at the lower price :disappointed:

I would recommend buying one from Amazon, Currys, Tesco or John Lewis which are all selling at or around this price now and they would all offer better customer service than Argos, I think, in cases such as this.

Or until Prime Day (if they do it again), or Black Friday - they've been that price twice so far, hence why I got one.

kodi on a pi zero. Allot cheaper to buy, allot cheaper to run

This better than a Chromecast for things like Twitch/YouTube?

Hi which model M8S would you recommend if I don't care about 4K but would like to watch HD content on a standard speed Sky internet connection (via ethernet I would imagine)?

Hi could you recommend a dedicated forum please as I am a newbie!

so is it best to get this or a m8s?

Quick Tip :

Download the Fire TV app to your phone / tablet, so much easier to type on than r'sing about with the remote.

Good deal, Thanks for posting. Heat added :smiley:

I bought 2 their so good and their just so fast!!

Had Jarvis installed on my Shield for 5 weeks now and it is running great.15.2 Isengard does not have the option for the contetx menu but jarvis has.All you have to do is long-press the 'OK' (select) button to get context menu up.

TVMC is getting updated right now to cater for the new Jarvis Version of Kodi......they suggest installing standard Kodi just now and installing FUSION ......see details here :

Plenty of working add ons still if you know where to look. Also the Beast is bloated and over rated.Everyone is selling the sticks with that build on it as it was the first 'build' to hit the big scene.There are loads more better build out there today than that again..if you know where to look.There are plenty of build groups and even the Ares Wizard has most of the top builds in it.ie,Pulse,Spinze,Brettus Builds.Most have the same add ons on them but all you really need is about 10 of the top add ons which will give you everything you need.Phoenix,Operation Robocop,NJM Soccer,Moneysports,Mucky Ducks repo for starters.

Paid £24.99 for this in December.

Paradox

You do need good and unlimited broadband for these esp wifi for the sticks.
If you plan to go down the Kodi route and your router is close to where your tv is I'd suggest getting the Amazon Fire Box as its hot s Ethernet connection (plus a USB slot).

Both my stick and box work great with Amazon Prime content.

just out of interest, what forums? i follow on twitter so my sticks normally up to date, but couldn't hurt to know more.

Thanks for the responses chaps, I'm gonna order this.

Serious question: why is this better than Chromecast? I'm undecided as to which to get.

Just asking as a lot of people seem to buy these for kodi.

​i use a free build atm (paradox) what's a good subscription one to use?

Thanks, need to Kodi one up for a friend.

Does kodi on this support ace stream ? Think you need to install Pegasus?

Kodi talk aside, these come into their own with a Prime Sub. So much so that I've just cancelled netflix (which in itself is about the price of Prime but with none of the added value).

orders, though came collect until 16th

This is correct. Free Kodi content is far to unreliable and requires far too much maintenance to be relied on. If you're the sort of person who enjoys researching content and has the ability to regularly maintain then all well and good, but for the majority of users being sold Kodi filled sticks with promises of being able to cancel their Sky TV subscription then it is just nonsense.

​So much content out there..One closes but others open. I keep up to date via dedicated forums and don't have any issues, but then again I'm interested in this kind of stuff.

Not complaining about anything.

these should come down to £19.99

It needs USB power, which could also come from your tv, or a phone charger. These do some basic games, but excel at KODI or if you're a Prime customer, Amazon's tv, video and music streaming (plus photos).

If anyone really wants voice search, just use the dedicated smartphone app.

Is this 1st gen?

sideload

Its not just this on offer:
Argos

tesco all so have voice one for £40 and the 4k box for £65 kodi is easy to install sideboard it with a andriod device

The firestick connects to your wifi and transmits content to your TV via the HDMI port

these are not for watching tv. although it is possible.

these are for streaming internet video music etc services.

Thanks. So if I just plug tv in wall and this in hdmi port I will get a picture without anything else like a aeriel is that right

So kodi easy to download onto these?.. Kind regards x

Do I still need a aeriel plugged into tv to use one of these

Looks like a pre voice-search remote model.

Very good price
