With Kodi this is a no brainer!

Been holding out for ages for this to be £20 again. Going to whack Kodi on it and should be job done.

How about the voice remote fire stick and 4k box? Thinking of upgrading

Well, I lost the remote to my Fire Stick a few days ago. If a new unit is only £5 more than the remote, I guess I'll be buying a new one and giving away my current one to a friend.

Clicked the link and saw this "You purchased this item on 15 Jul 2015". Doesn't time fly!! I paid 19 quid then.

Peek.

going to order 50 fire sticks.

LOL 24th March 2015 for me, like a mug i paid full price

I thought there was a subsequent version of the Fire TV Stick with 4k support? What's different in the newer ones?

In general but with some exceptions, a dedicated S905 media box could offer more features and flexibility than Amazon's stick and start from £19.35 delivered ex-UK. Regardless, the Amazon Stick's a good offer price for what it is and will probably satisfy most users' requirements and expectations (including return options), unless you want the most capable Kodi player, in which case back to S905 / S905X (or other similarly capable device).

Surely there's no limits to how much you can purchase?

Oh no!!! Coming to you very soon more "fully loaded Kodi Firesticks" for £50 appearing all over facebook and shpock

With lightening deals it's 1 per customer, this may be different but I doubt it

If you check the already active deals it's 1 per customer

They are like the lightning deals 1 per account

Load the Amazon Fire TV remote app onto your phone or tablet works a treat if your original remote missing/broken

i do. Ready and waiting.

Strange how others' "heads ups" get moved to misc...

Are there any cheap boxes with 50hz and refresh rate switching support (the stick seemingly doesn't deal with it properly)?

Thanks

Can i ask you all something probably really basic?

My mates have droid boxes and watch all the footy on them for free, will this do the same job once I get help loading Kodi onto it?

I have smart tv's and a bt box for sport - can these features be replaced by this stick? if not what would i miss?

thank you in advance

you can download an app to use your phone as a remote apparently.

Do you think any of the shops will price match the fire stick as I don't have an amazon prime account, but I would like to try a fire stick.

Were the Firesticks Lightning deals last year?

Doubt it as its only a one day event

Send me the money and I'll get one sent to you from my prime account :smiley: or just make a trial account...

​a DROID box will have kodi on. so once you load kodi on the firestick it will do the same thing as that box.

No mention of this being a lightening deal, unless im being blind. Deal will probably be running all day tomorrow. Im sure that how it was last year.

​What are the features and flexibility that makes this a better deal than the firestick? I'm looking to say something up for my Mother, ideally with both Netflix and Kodi. At the moment and has to connect her laptop, not a huge issue but a dedicated unit with a remote would be handy.

All other active deals are all 1 per customer deal of the day/lightening, guess we'll see tomorrow

Yep same here. I don't mind a 99p rise so I can use the same benefits on my bedroom tv without constantly having to remember to unplug and move it.
Last year I was an early buyer and got next day shipping but remember later in the day those orders had to wait for stock as I'm sure they just got swamped for sticks and so there was a day or 2 delay.

The only thing you won't get with any of these boxes is Netflix in HD or higher resolution. Netflix serves up only a 480p stream to any box that's not in their list of pre-approved boxes/ systems e.g. Roku boxes as well as TVs with in-built Roku hardware.
The Amazon Fire devices including the stick are also all approved. Shame as the S905's can go upto 4K.

When you say play games on it.

Can you bluetooth a controller and play away?

Emulators work?

Does anyone know if there is any way to get Sky go on the firestick? Or even on an android box (mxq)?

​android box will have USB ports to play files, Digital Audio Out, SD card slot, ability to hard wire Internet via ethernet, less restrictions on apps you can install. but for kodi and Netflix you would be OK with this.

Not prime member so cold

Can't seem to find at what time the chromebook will be live. Does anyone know please?

Tampons don't fit me because I don't have a vagina. COLD!

Amazon Fire TV Streaming Media Player with 4K Ultra HD ??????

​Try inserting them elsewhere :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for giving us the benefit of your amazing insight. :man:

​they probably are better but these are ideal for me as the bedroom TVs are wall mounted so this would be hidden where as the boxes can't really.

Only if I can mail them to you afterwards.

How'd you lot get this for cheaper at the time, then it is now? (almost 1 year later?).

What gives ..... (magic wands everybody) lol. :-)

Is Kodi reasonably easy to set up or is it a few hours of mucking about to end up with a stick on a par with the 'fully-loaded' type ones you see on popular auction sites? Just wondering whether to go down the DIY route or not and time/hassle vs cost is what I'm trying to weigh up. Thanks! :innocent:

any news on the Amazon Fire TV think it was £34 last year

chromebook anygood? I wanted to buy a HD tablet half price they don't seem to be doing them this year maybe later on?

Sign up with a different email like everyone else?

S905 boxes have multiple fullsize USB ports, SPDIF or AV out, physical ethernet LAN socket, potential to directly power portable drives (with caveats), allow installation of virtually any standard Android app without the sideloading nonsense, greater codec support eg. 10bit x265/HEVC which is essential for halving network bandwidth and storage requirements whilst not losing any perceptable quality compared to other formats. Kodi and Netflix is an unusual combination as some would say that a decent selection of Kodi add-ons would surpass Netflix content. If Netflix is a pre-requisite, consider that it is unlikely that Netflix on a media box would be available in higher resolutions.

better than a £20 android box?

​So do the Trial for Prime now and you will be able to use it tomorrow. Then just cancel before you finish the trial.

Really good price for a great product - prime video and youtube.
I prefer it to apple TV.
Worth noting the stick does use a lot of data per hour - there is no SD setting - therefore unlimited broadband is best.

Ditto, and mine is still in the sealed packaging that Amazon sent, assuming Amazon didn't send me a box of tampons in error.

want to know the answer to this aswell..

​Very easy. Took less than 20minutes first time round.

Going to use my free £10 from the Audible trial on this. Thanks OP!

can i have multiple fire sticks round the house working off one account all streaming at the same time?

Could someome please tell me when exactly the chromebook will be available? I have been looking for several minutes now and I couldn't find that info as it's not shown in upcoming deals on Amazon.

Thanks

"Better" depends on personal requirements and expectations. Android media box is certainly more flexible. Comparison to media boxes starting at £19.15 is provided at post #53.

Don't forget though that this is a FireStick and if you have Prime you can watch the free Videos and TV shows that come with prime, there's no waiting around for streams to load up (or fail to load) like in Kodi. So you get access to both worlds

I tried to install SkyGo on my MXIII, it said it couldn't be installed as the device was rooted. I suppose if the Firestick isn't rooted you could be okay.

Hi
Yes - but you can only watch a maximum of 2 streams of Amazon Video simultaneously any number on different channels though.
You would need a really good broadband speed to avoid buffering.

What time does this deal go live? 12am?

Download the fire
stick app for your phone. Use that as the remote.

12.03:54s

yes it is, so many videos on youtube!

Just sign up for 30 day free trial then cancel

I have Amazon Prime Instant video loaded on my S905 box. Does the Stick offer anything that the Prime Instant Video app doesn't? Thanks.

Tomorrow m8, not sure what time

​why don't you download "Amazon fire tv remote" from app store, that way you don't even need to buy a new remote

Can't see it as upcoming on my prime?

I'm impressed by your 'Search Criteria' for your Kodi Box link you provided (Bulbs?, Camcorder?, etc?, hahaha) and ended up with Boxes costing only £19-£20 odd?, there.

But when I simply did a 'Search' for only S905 here:

s905 tv | eBay

http://m.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=s905 tv&isNewKw=1&=&=&mfs=GOCLK&acimp=0&_trksid=p2053742.m2428.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xs905 tv&sqp=s905

I rather ended up with Kodi Boxes tipping anything up to the £100+ bar!, hmmmmmmmmmm.

Interesting way of searching to narrow down the field of the wheat from the chaff, huh?. :-)

I think your S905 box pretty much covers it, unless you wanted the fire stick in another room.

Download the amazon fire tv app on your phone and use it as a remote

Afraid not. They don't allow Sky Go to work on any TV boxes.

Standard boolean-esque methodology to exclude results that contain certain search terms by simply prefixing the term to be excluded with the minus symbol "-". Consider that particular ebay search also searches the listing description to identify the "S905" chipset, but description searches are prone to return huge numbers of irrelevant results. If I hadn't added those exclusions, the first batch of returned results would include watermelon slicers, Hawaiian flower garlands necklaces, ropelights, bulbs, skipping ropes, and all manner of other irrelevant tat. Same procedure works for Google searches etc.

Anyway of having now TV on the fire stick?

use my free ,£10 voucher so £9.99 for fire stick no brainer

It is very easy, lots of tutorials available on the net/you tube,certainly wouldn't pay the over inflated prices quoted for 'loaded' sticks specially as the free live tv/sports addons come and go so you need to delete/add streaming sources fairly regularly unless you go down the paid route

would really love if there was a similar post running tomorrow with all the links and the best deals :wink:

Cheers. For the needs that I have, it looks as though the Firestick will be sufficient. I've no need of the extra ports and sockets as this will mainly be for my Mother who's rather tech-terrified! Were it for me, then I may have looked at one of the boxes in a little more detail.
I find Netflix is a lot more convenient and quicker, as long as the content is there. Kodi is very useful but I've found that, even after switching between various builds and installing additional addons, there are still a lot of series that are only available in relatively poor quality but it's better than nothing. So it's Netflix first, then Kodi as a backup.

I want to get one of these so I can watch College American Football on ESPN, anyone know how I can load those kinds of channels onto here?

Well unless you have a reason to have Amazon up the number of streams. I've got at least 4 concurrent streams on my account, since it was upped whilst helping them test/fix 5.1 sound on Amazon prime video + purchased content (and its remained on on my account). I only had 4 concurrent sources I could test with so do not actually know the limit on my account :smiley:

I'm sure his right being an experienced member but How would anyone know that a deal is definitely going to happen?

Yeah if anyone replies can they explain how to put Kodi on. I have my neighbours just now and its fantastic so I would be grateful if someone could explain if this is as simple as downloading something like showbox? x

youtube it, loads of step by step guides

Anyone local to Stanley Co.Durham apparently £23.99 refurbed @ argos outlet

nothing worse than people selling those Firesticks with some God awful Kodi build on them.

do it yourself, save money and do it the way you want.

No your not!!!, don't embarrass yourself, 1 only allowed.

Can u use this with laptop

Wukong

Have they fixed the wireless problems with the sticks yet? I bought mine last year but its so laggy its unusable and has spent most of the year in a draw somewhere.

Why don't you just get the fire stick app and use your smart phone if you have one as a remote? Apologies if already answered as I haven't read all post yet.

Just yesterday I joined Amazon Prime after dumping Netflix

why is the mx300 750gb ssd linked to the 250gb ssd ?

My only reply is WTF :smiley:

I don't suppose anyone has mentioned downloading the Fire Stick remote app have they? /sarcasm/ :stuck_out_tongue:

I was hoping amazon echo might be announced tomorrow.

Great price. Don't need it but tempted for Kodi

Yeah bought a couple myself they were down to £21.99 at one point I think prices change on them now and again.

Only had issue with one of then when setting up the account on it I think when they refurbished it hadn't reset the Amazon account associated with it so wouldn't let me add it.

They exchanged it without any quibbles.

Glad I resisted buying one a few weeks ago when I joined Prime now.
Thanks OP

You did just now :smiley:

for fricks sake, i just bought one yesterday for £35.

I've got two, soon to be three.

If i bought a fire stick recently, any ideas if amazon will refund the difference in price still?

Can you live stream on one of these. So could i watch live bbc or itv or is it just iplayer

No, this is for plugging in to a HDMI port on a TV.

If it was less than 30 days you can return the stick and order one tomorrow. Amazon 0800 496 1081 may refund the difference as a good will gesture, but it is TV's only now for refunds on price drops.

Haha, I use it currently but it's just too buggy for me. Single clicks turn into multiple clicks etc, and I kind of miss the tactile feel of pushing a button on a remote.

Best remote for Firestick IMO :smiley:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wukongtv.wkremote.client.en&hl=en_GB

I might have a look up tomorrow see if theirs any left.handy for the spare room

I have a spare remote for tv stick, I'm going to sell If your interested?

Had never seen this one... Cheers. Recent reports saying not too good with FS

what time does this go live

If you have full-fat Amazon Prime, you could share it with your mother as a family member and she would have access to Amazon Prime Video which may be sufficient to ditch Netflix, in which case I would suggest revert to S905 box and load Amazon Prime Instant Video. Oh the permutations... :smile:

​contact them once the offer begin. They will refund you the price different. They are very good about this

Do the latest OS's still support this?

Yes, if you have enough data, and it runs at a reasonable speed.

I agree , takes a little of your time less than 20 mins , a good tutorial is available if you search on a popular video channel :smile: and then is as good , if not better than most of the boxes offered in various places .

No need to use a fire stick with a laptop. Just download the Windows version of Kodi onto your laptop, from https://kodi.tv/download/

If you bought it from Amazon, they may refund you the difference if you ask. If it is sealed, return it to where you bought it from, get a refund, then order.

I'll buy that off you for £10 as i have a spare remote - PM me if interest :smiley:

If you add Kodi to it, you can live stream, watch catchup TV, etc.

Because Pepper Deals Ltd, a company registered in the Seychelles, is getting paid and so the rules are different.

How do i go about adding Kodi on to this?

Google "kodi firestick" for guides

Kodi still works fine of these, latest firmware version.

Even firestarter (custom homescreen) can be installed which displays all your apps as icons. Or can be used to startup right into kodi.

Cant go wrong at this price but for me these are way too slow and laggy. Probably because ive used the box for so long

Is the TV fire box likely to be reduced?

wonder if Amazon prime now drops the price too, could use the 5primenow code to get even cheaper!

anyone wanting to put kodi on these just google fire starter. easiest way.

Currently using a NowTV box. How does the Fire Stick compare?

Sky Go doesn't work with HDMI.
I tried side loading NowTV onto a FireTV but it doesn't run.

OK, I confess, I don't know what Kodi is. Can someone help? Also, not a Prime member (yet). Is it worth me joining to get this?

Anyone know if the BT Sport App can be used on Firestick? I read it requires a keyboard/mouse to login which Firestick can't support. But how about the mobile remote app? I'm considering buying a Fire TV box just for BT..

1. Go to youtube
2. Type kodi firestick
3. Watch a video
4. You decide

I've got a £170 Acer Chromebook arriving tomorrow:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TCMIE6Y/ref=pe_385721_140927941_TE_3p_dp_1

I'm considering refusing/return for this £100 poss sub Lenovo - but I'm useless, I can see it has less RAM, but could be £70+ cheaper. Any kind soul care to advise me? Pretty please.

Lenovo link again: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GCNZ79C?tag=hotukdealsev-21

http://www.tvfire.de/FireTuner/en/

This could be a useful tool for setting up firesticks, adding Ares, builds, apps, etc.

I can't comment on the app, but certain builds and repos have BT Sport, Sky Sports, and loads of other sports channels included. You can even watch 3pm Saturday kick offs, which aren't usually available in the UK.

Bought this less than a month ago at full price. Anything I can do besides sending it back to get a refund on the difference?

I wonder if roku stick is going to price match :smiley:

Just sign up for a months free trial of prime.

I think they only price match for a week after purchase, you could always start a live chat and tell them you dont want to go through the hassle of sending it back and buying it again?

Any chance of an Anker deal on the 26800 powerbank (Not the fast charge version)

Will try that, thanks.

if you are after buying one of these A95x boxes - you are better off with a firestick. kodi with any build will work fine and you get updates and customer service. whereas these boxes will die without updates.

Can anyone please advise. To make the most of tomorrows offers, I have never been a prime member, if I join Prime today and and then cancel before my free 30 day subscription expires, will I definately not pay any prime subscription?

I've been looking at the Firestick for some time now but not sure how to integrate it into my music system.
I assume it only outputs sound through the tv speakers with no tidy way of connecting to a sound system.
At the moment I have an optical connection from the Sky+ box going into a dacmagic then amp but I also have an Audio Pro AirOne which has direct link and dnla.
Is there a tidy way of streaming to that?
Just wondering if anyone has a similar setup?

Create a trial account, if you have already before then create a new email gmail and go that route

You can join today then go into your prime account details and click do not continue. You will then be cancelled at the end of your trial and you don't need to think about it again.

I installed the app but the mouse just flies all over the screen, impossible to control.

Three factual observations: Kodi can be updated on any Android media box; an S905-based media box has greater media support and more media output options than Amazon Fire stick.

If you really, really, want a Chromebook (and ask yourself why before you do), then I would 100% return the Acer and get the Lenovo tomorrow. The specs won't make a huge difference, but the price certainly does.

Do ask yourself again why you want a chromebook instead of a tablet or a proper laptop though - you'll get more out of an android tablet with a decent keyboard case (or something like an Asus transformer) than a niche device like a Chromebook, and doesn't have to cost you any more than the £170 you have just paid. There are also plenty of decent windows based devices around that pricepoint now - e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-TP200SA-11-6-Inch-rotatable-notebook/dp/B015OG3SHQ/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1468259926&sr=1-7&keywords=asus+transformer

​It does work but it is a bit of a pain to sideload and navigate. Just for BT Sport get a Chromecast. Works straight away, is reliable and the picture quality is great (switch the Chromecast to 50hz via Chromecast app for smooth motion). Even though it works picture quality on BT Sport on Fire stick is not as good.

Those boxes are fine, the only thing they lack compared to a Fire TV Stick is access to Prime Instant Video.

At what time the Lenovo chromebook will be available?

It's a shame the Fire Tv box isn't on the list, much better than the stick.

Must already be selling well I guess

Thanks. Definitely want a Chromebook, the one I have now is just ideal for me and know where I am with them. This one (Acer C720) is perfect except for the crappy memory and I need to not have this struggle when browsing Facebook, you tube etc. It performs badly and needs powerwashing every 2 weeks, but I figured the extra RAM at 4GB would easily sort it but Lenovo is only 2GB. It two ruddy minds, I promised myself I wouldn't let cost influence me!

Can u still get 'movies' on kodi?

Not sure anyone knows, it's a matter of keep checking tomorrow I think.

The problem of not knowing the exact hour is that you might end up missing the deal, since the deals are launched every hour including early mornings.

4K is the fire TVs box not the fire sticks

Everyone goes on about Kodi. But isn't it just a faff to keep repos upto date and find content that actually works. Must of the popular stuff is blocked in the UK anyway. So you need a VPN.

I have Kodi but rarely bother with it. Still you might as well install it if you are getting a Fire Stick anyway. Just don't expect too much. Well that's my opinion . Interested in hearing others who use it regularly

download for free...Amazon Fire TV Remote App to your phone & you are able to use your phone as a remote

Any point getting these if you have a chrome cast?

Strange. I have the Prime Instant Video installed on my S905 box.

with the s905 boxes, can the "fully loaded" kodi build be easily removed to start a fresh?

Yes. And install the Kodi apk flavour of your preference

Am i right in assuming kodi allows you to stream your own content off NAS or similar in addition to amz prime stuff, or does it give you 'extra content' /cough

​is it 1 stick per account then ?

Last year I brought the fire tablet for £30 which was a good deal I thought. I am n with a fantastic screen now on my 4th replacement after unresponsive screens, constant resets, too many dead pixels. So far 4-5 months and no problems, which maybe because I got so annoyed with stock, that I flashed it to remove adverts and root it for other apps. Works well although struggling with casting smoothly/easily

Finally decided to take the plunge and put the re-branded xbmc on the tablet

Quality fail

It's only on Sony Android TV and Fire TV devices.

You can get a Amazon VOD Launcher APK but it doesn't always work and the video quality isn't as good as official devices.

I'm hoping the fire boxes are also on offer. They are soooo much better than the sticks and well worth the extra money in my opinion. The fire stick I've got in the bedroom is painfully slow...

I have sky go on my Amazon box with a friends details used, you need a wireless/wired mouse to control it but it's fine, just sideload the apk

Also on LG TVs

Yeah, I have a HDD plugged in to my router and have loads of stuff stored on there (SMB share).

Sorry, I was talking about Android only.

Amazon prime day is going to be a flop.

much like myself when I realise i've taken a fat bird home.

You should get that cough seen to and pay for content rather than stealing it through dodgy illegal streams.

How can you put kodi on it ?

yes, these deals will lighten your wallet.

I'm a 61 year old granny and I followed these instructions and got it perfect on 2 firesticks.

Literally received my Fire Stick today, ordered Saturday!! I see some here are suggesting Amazon may refund the difference. What's the best way to contact them to see? Woukd you call or livechat/message? Now our when the deal comes up?

Is a minimum spend of £20 required to qualify for free Prime delivery?

With my £10 Audible voucher makes it £10, nice.

No there's not a minimum spend for Prime delivery.

No, deliverys are free with Prime.

You are aware it is 2Gb of Ram and 720p

Would I need individual Fire sticks for each TV please?

when the deal comes up give them a call

"According to recent feedback from readers, it appears that Amazon has changed its policy on offering price-change refunds on all items other than TVs. So, if you see a price change on TVs you should be able to get the difference.

However, some readers are reporting that they are still able to get refunds by being persistent. Right now we recommend that you escalate to management at Amazon and still try, even if the chat rep turns you down the first time. In fact, a lot of our readers have noted that the best way to get the difference is to call and not even use customer service chat"

since you ordered yours on saturday I dont see why they would'nt price drop, tell them you dont want the hassle of returnig it and buying it again.

Oh no! Topped my Credit Card up earlier, Got myself a Free Months trial. Help :neutral_face:

No,only on "prime NOW"

Massive thanks. Really helpful.

Kodi is really crap!, and a lot of people seem to think they need a fire tv/stick to run it!

I'm fully expecting to but 400 Oral-B 2000PRO toothbrushes...

I will definitely be getting a Paperwhite this time, new gen too.

I use KODI on several devices with just the Phoenix, Exodus and Sports Devil video add-ons. What else could you actually need? Phoenix for live Sky channels, Exodus for films/tv and Sports Devil for footie.

Which one, the Lenovo? The one I've bought is only 720p I think... :/ Yeah I know the RAM is only half of the Acer and that's the bit that concerns me most. Definitely don't want any lagging or blue circles, sick to the back teeth of that!

from my experience the live channels and football is not great on these. mobdro is the best option.

And on various phones too, have on my Moto X Play

Yes, I believe you would. Looks like they plug into the HDMI slot of each TV :stuck_out_tongue:

A silly question but I'm assuming that these can't play 4K Netflix, Youtube etc and I'll need the 4K Box?

Unfortunately Amazon have stopped refunding the price difference - your only option would be to return and re-order at a lower price.

I have Kodi installed on my HTC 10, together with the "Complete Kodi Setup Wizard" App, and Miracast it to my Sony TV.
The Setup Wizard keeps all the repos up to date and I don't appear to be blocked from anything. Works like a charm and I didn't have to buy a Firestick either :smile:

Sorry to be a bit dim, having read & re-read the description for Fire TV stick I still don't understand whether I need one of these!
All my media is stored on my laptop, I hook up lappy to TV via HDMI cable. Would this device be able to do that for me? Does the lappy need to be switched on? Can I stream from lappy to Stick?
Many thanks

​Yes, you need the 4k box for Netflix, Amazon and YouTube 4k

Ooops not sure if I'm allowed to post this. If its not allowed please delete Mods



​I use an app called SportsMania on kodi mate. Has all your sports channels from around the world. Sky, BT, Fox, NBC and BeIn.
All the premier league games. All college football.
It costs £17 for 3 months and £26 for 6 months.
Well worth it.

I use this for my main TV and it's great. Netflix, Amazon and kodi via spmc.
Only thing which is a pain is setting up a vpn for Netflix etc.

Just get a Now TV box instead, and install Plex Client on it, and Plex Server on the Laptop. I have the same setup, but using my desktop. Flawless. And yes, the laptop has to remain on else where would the Hard Drive get it's power from, and how would it connect wirelessly otherwise?

​Kodi is a media streamer as is Plex. You could use that. Laptop would need to be switched on. Might be easier and more reliable just to connect laptop to TV. Unless you really hate the hdmi cable

Thanks. I do have a Now TV box but found it absolutely useless - it would never connect to my home network and/or would lose the signal after 10 mins or so into a movie. Its chucked in a drawer somewhere - maybe I need to give it another go?!

No I have tried it and picks up as using HDMI so you can't do it

Why cant i get a free trial, im just offered a monthly or yearly option. I had free prime years ago as did my mrs, but she recently had a 2nd free trial but i cant get it :neutral_face:

Firestick or chromecast?

The fire stick goes directly into a HDMI slot. It's basically having your laptop connected your TV via HDMI but with a remote if that makes sense. Basically you don't have to go on to your laptop to switch to the next episode etc.

Fire stick at this price hands down. I don't know a lot about cc but I think it only enables you to cast on to the stick from an supported device. Firestick with kodi is plug and play with 1000s of tv shows and movies ready to watch. Hope that helps.

does it come with adapter for scart?

How do you get Kodi on it?

Thanks - so can I also pause etc.? How does the stick find the laptop - just by signing into the same home network?

I can't find the link on how to get it on the cheap. Anyone knows where to check? My Prime expired yesterday!

Fingers crossed for fire TV 4k box deal on prime day. Otherwise I'll have to settle for another stick. Next Kodi version is Lollipop + so won't run on stick...

"Note, you need to be a Prime member to take advantage of this deal (see 1st comment for link on how to get it on the cheap)"

I'm obviously missing something here, where's this cheap Prime link?

Any external HDD for Xbox one on sale??

guys what the sale start from midnight or from morning

guys what the sale start from midnight or from morning

Yes, you can pause rewind/forward. I don't get what you mean about the stick finding the laptop. I've never looked into connecting it to a laptop, a computer is not needed at all to use it.

Comment

i have fire stick with kodi but the hd stream does not look hd rather 480p. i tried many diffrent stream 720p 1080p... i dont know if its the same case with fire tv box....

I have both,

Chromecast- wireless HDMI cable ( you might not need one if you have a smart TV)

Firestick- streaming device (you have apps loaded on to the device).

Chromecast is a wireless HDMI cable( you have to plug the hdmi to your TV and power it using either a USB port or plug-same as fire stick), essentially allowing you to stream data from mobile device. There are a limited number of applications but you can always check online.

Firestick is like a streaming device with programs loaded on to it. This mean there is a size limit ,8gb for sticks?You have all the amazon apps and the ability to add apps of your own for instance, Kodi. Kodi allows people to watch otherwise paid tv channels and shows for free( usually poor quality). If you are a prime member you can watch tv shows etc from amazon on this device, It comes with a remote for navigation unlike the chromecast which needs no remote.

I use the chromecast most, I found an application that allows me to stream HD movies to my Tv through my phone( like a smart TV might), Unfortunately this application is not available for everyone hence I cant recommend it to you as the developer has limited the number of people who can use it. With a normal HDMI cable, you wont be able to use your phone and it may also drain your battery, with the chromeast, you are free to use your phone, make calls, play games etc whilst streaming, It wont show up on the big screen unless you want it too.

Hope that make some sense!

You can download the Amazon app from playstore ect free. Automatically connect to firestick perfect if you've lost or broke your remote control

Have you used the prime trial? :smiley:

fixed :laughing:

I have kodi on my mac and working fine

does this start at 12 tonight or tomorrow morning

In English please. :smiley:

Is it better than Chromecast dongle?

Anyone been tracking the items listed so far on camel camel camel? Sure they have been slow increasing a few over the past few weeks.

How much longer will HDUK allow the free talk about kodi?

Well amazon renewed my prime even though i deleted the payment method ffs - ill get a stick and a refund for my prime mwahahahhahahahaha

From midnight, but different deals at different times. I dont think anyone knows when the firesticks are going on sale, you will have to wait and see.

The Fire TV Boxes were about £30 last time I was in.

yes it will be!

Thanks very much Jamie.

I seem to recall the Firesticks were a 24 hour deal last year so went live just after midnight. Then they went out of stock with a 2-3 week delivery delay. Will probably be the same tomorrow.

Sorry, I mean how does the stick access my media already downloaded to laptop?

time of deal starting?

Will student discount also apply to this, or...?

thanks i already have 2 firesticks and also a firebox and the box is much better and quicker so hope the firebox is on deal as well and might replace the sticks

Not a troll post, why are people bothering with firesticks when you can get a android box for £20 which does a much better job?

​Install Plex media server on laptop and Plex app on stick is easiest if you really want to do that

​ does it come with kodi preloaded do you know?

Do you have to pay a monthly fee to access stuff to download (I.e like Netflix) confused as to how all these new gadgets work and assuming they will want more than 19.99 for unlimited access

That's the same thing isn't?

morning is 7am or 9am for me tonight is 12pm but i see where you are coming from
was hoping tonight as working tomorrow untill 5pm

netflix- you will need a netflix subscription
amazon prime videos- prime subscription etc

No of course not. If you buy from an unofficial source they can put it on (for a hearty premium) but Amazon would never since it is essentially an app for piracy (unless like me you you it in place of vlcplayer to watch your digital home movie collection)

Well, it works for me.
and its free

Thanks 1qw as suspected then nothing is free!

I've had 5 sticks and 4 have gone back. They're awful. Slow, bad wireless and overheat after 10 minutes of usage. Amazon simply let me keep the 5th but still gave me a refund. I'd never touch the stick again, but the 4k fire tv is amazing. I'm hoping there will be a deal on that tomorrow!

Would be amazing if this was guess work and it actually isn't on offer tomorow. 2000 heat for a prediction ✔️✔️✔️

Most of the £20 boxes have lower specs than a fire stick i've been through a few of them.

Most of the cheap China boxes come with bloatware you wouldn't want to touch with a geordie shore casts sex organ .

I've got 3 firesticks have no issues with crashing or buffering (i'm using pulse light build atm)

Will swap them out for a fire TV box if on sale and convince the wife to buy my a shield TV box for Xmas.

You could put this on your phone, chromecast compatible or side load it on the stick,

http://terrariumtv.com/

No you install it yourself, check YouTube you'll be done in 5 minutes tops longer if you want to do your own build.

I lost mine too, downloaded the app on smart phone. It works a treat, plus you can use the keyboard on your phone and type when searching.

​you can download an app to control the fire stick

Are there only a limited amount of these being sold or is it just reduced all day?
Thanks

​first 2000 i think

Dosen't look too bad, might give it a go, cheers!

Surprise surprise my comment that has near 30 likes has been removed from the top comments

any idea what time this goes live
will it be midnight

Yes. The wait begins. In the dark and cold of night, you shall seek the fire.

Winter is coming.

take your tampon out mate...

If you are not happy with your C720, then I am not sure that you will be happy with either the Acer you orderedor the Lenovo. The Acer may have twice the RAM but both have slower processors than the C720. The processors in both of these have only about 65% of the processing power of the 2955U in the C720. Most of the Chromebooks introduced since the C720 have used Atom style architecture, whilst they may have higher clock speeds they are inferior to the 2955U in the C720, which is a true Haswell cpu.

£129 ebay link:confused: Over 140 sold at over £100 profit. Well done if you can do that.

I've just ordered mine to avoid the rush and will ask for the difference tomorrow or cancel and reorder but amazon is pretty good with this.

Fire Stick + Kodi + £5 a month IPTV = heaven

other than installing Kodi, is there a reason to buy this when I already have a few apple tv's and ps4's for amazon prime channels?

​p off

​loooooool u serious

don't get people on ebay, five minutes to load kodi, no way will they sell for £129, other sellers got them for £50..........

Not been offered on Amazon France so doubt it if will be available :disappointed: ...

not a single one sold at £129, even if they had where has been selling firesticks recently for around £5 to get £100 profit from?

Is this 'Prime Day' in honour of our new Prime Minister?

Darn, I can't do photo links anymore, used to, anyhow, just a bit of fun

Silly question probably but can I use my Amazon prime account on two fire sticks? Thinking about getting another one for my living room

Well spotted....Still he's sold a few ...and all at a profit.

Nope, Optimus prime day...

Amazon France has the NVIDEA Shield on offer. Better be nice to your other half Zombrex :smiley:

So does this start at midnight?

Which IPTV are you using??

​the deals do bur don't know if fire stick does

You pay to use Amazon movies, Netflix, etc. You don't have to pay anything to download Kodi or use any of the Kodi content to watch films, sports, TV, etc.

Fire TV isn't available in France

lol your a legend mate!

Ordered. It's live

Live now just bought one

Well, I've got mine confirmed

Got one

its live now

Ordered

Yup, just went live, ordered

got one!

cheers. heated :wink:

Thanks OP, just bought one, even though I also have an android box on the way :confused: ..

Bought cheers!!!! :smirk:

Ordered for £9.99 whilst listening to my audiobook in the bath haha! oh a blastoise!!

Got the voice command one :smirk:

Unsure I needed it but decided to try it for emulating old gen consoles.

got mine :smiley:

Got mine to. Arriving tomorrow evening.

Fire TV is 54.99 too and then NVIDIA shield for 100. Too many options when you tempted to always go one better . . .

Lovely ordered :smiley:

Ordered, £9.99 with Audible discount. If that ain't a freakin' sweet deal... I don't know what is!

ordered.... that's my night tomorrow sorted, setting it up.

Christmas is coming early in fact tomorrow morning (£89.99) :sunglasses:

Are the sticks available all day?

Signed up for free prime trial and ordered. Thanks

Shield it's more or less the best android streamer out

How do you get audible discount?

yeah I started off going to spend 20 quid on a stick, then went to the fire TV and ended up sinking 100 quid on the shield. . .

Has anyone used the "Amazon Pantry" setup? You can get £3 credit (which will cancel out the initial £2.99 shipping) if you choose the "no rush" delivery option

Buy a £30.00 Amazon Giftcard and get a £5 promo code (Prime)

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/buy-a-30-amazon-giftcard-get-a-5-promo-code-prime-2478526 just popped up also :sunglasses:

What is the Audible thing please?

Hukd and Amazon will financially ruin me today.

you got a £10 amazon credit for signing up for a 3 month audible trail last thursday i think it was (1 day only) if i remember correctly

EDIT is back on

Fire stick or fire tv ?
Which is better ?

Wish I'd known this 10 minutes ago! Haha! Bought two (using friends prime account too), one for me and one for my dad, will be my first step into all of this.

Question to all... Is this Nvidia Shield thing worth the £100? What does it actually do?

You're probably right, but I can't resist £99.99 at that price I'll manage with the Lenovo, it can become a spare if it gets bad. C720 was great for the first year then started playing up a bit and needs powerwashing a lot, suspect has a fault to boot so hoping Lenovo will suffice for my average needs. Cheers for the help anyway.

Well, I just realized I didn't choose free delivery for later tonight :neutral_face:

So I ordered a second one with the wife's account.

If anyone here wants one and doesn't have prime available, let me know and you can have the second one for £20. Recorded postage cost will be covered by me..

Thanks for this, got a fire-stick for £10, very happy.

How soon do you get the credit?

Seemed to be instantly for me.

Well I already have the stick from my brother with kodi installed but I think he missed the x rated apps out (doh),
Bought another one now for my other living room and will try to install kodi myself (so hopefully I can say bye bye sky)
That fire TV looks tempting as well,is that any good ?

£1.97, apparently I had some promotional credit on my account! I had no idea.

chrome stick vs fire stick vs now tv. all pretty much do the same job right? Chrome stick and now tv are also £20 right? am i missing something here. Is this much better quality or something?

Bought for £7.99!! Thanks :smiley:
Heat :sunglasses:

How?

Straight away, at the checkout it is automatically applied. - Cancelled the trial already too lol.

Is the audible discount finished?

no i just signed up and was credited right away!

They are very different. Chromecast is a middle man that needs to be fed sources. Android devices like this can handle it themselves. Pro's and con's,

I also had a £2 voucher from an earlier Reindeer hunt on this site :smiley:

Just ordered the normal £19.99 fire stick, and using the prime now £5 off offer, it knocked it down to £17 (after it took off a £2 'tip'?. Had to add a 1p Giff Gaff Sim to reach £20 first... Should be here before noon today!

Will be useful for watching Amazon Video on until it runs out next year (the subscription)... :smiley:

Got mine 00:01am, don't even need it but thought "why not?" :man:

Got one cheers op.

Do you need to click in an email or something? I did it on my friends prime account but can't find the £10 credit to buy something else?!

It would be good if OP could edit the first post to show how members can get this for £9.99 instead of £19.99

For some reason it doesn't show on your gift card balance, but as soon as you go to checkout, it applies the discount for you :smiley:

Bought one thanks

Anyone else thinking... I wont go to bed yet :confused:

Nice one mate, will try again

You do realise that Amazon excludes Fire Stick from the list of officially supported devices here and excludes Fire TV from Amazon Prime Video on the Prime sign up page where it states: "Prime Video is available to watch instantly on the Fire TV Stick, tablets, smart TVs, game consoles, mobile phones, laptops and other streaming devices."?

What is Prime Now please?

Actually, nope, still not happening. Cheers anyway mate.

dont appear till very last page ( the one where you click buy, not the one where is say you can review your purchase before buying or what ever it says)

You can edit the tip to £0 if you want.

Prime now is a mobile application for amazon that promises to deliver items to your door between 1-2 hours!. It has limited items and is only available in certain post codes.

Do you have to sign up to prime and to audible to get the audible discount?

I'm right through to the final page mate, where there is only a "buy now" yet no discount.

It's a prime item, Anker Soundbuds Sport IE20 prime deal at 18.74, one day delivery, but no discount making them not as attractive as with the tenner off! Haha

Ok well I got the audible discount after I ordered the firestick spoke to Amazon chat he wouldn't move said you can't apply discount to prime deal which we all knw is crap. So as it wouldn't let me order another firestick I got the one with voice remote for £19.99 lol will sell the other everyone's a winner cheers

Hi
Can i have the second one for £20 as i do not have prime account
Pm me

Thank you very much.

Cheers bud. Just worked a treat for me - Email confirmation of credit arrived instantly

Anker give their products away in exchange for a review, might be worth checking this out.
https://www.anker.com/poweruser/

Link says US only mate

As scoot said, go to the last page before confirming your purchase and it should hopefully work for you buddy :smiley:
EDIT: The discount only applies to products sold by Amazon (such as the firestick), so if it still doesn't work, check the seller

Yeah, I just dropped them an e-mail a while back and they offered me a few things that way. :smiley:
They often post stuff on amzreviewtrader too.

Tried signing up to audible but states "The Audible free trial offer is only available to new members"

Can anyone help?

Signed hubby up for a 30 day free trial, also the 90day auduble trial. Email fot the £10 off came immefiately. Bought basic firestick for £9.99.
Result. Thanks op and all other contributors to this thread. Appreciated

The item was sold by Anker but fulfilled by Amazon, thought that would have counted!

It's not too late to cancel your order if you go to your orders page since they wouldn't have dispatched it yet :smiley: Glad you at least managed to get the discount :smiley:

Fair play mate, don't ask don't get! I'll give it a bash!

Is it easy to cancel?

Do you think I could do this too?

I've selected delivery for tonight (Tuesday night) so wasn't sure if it would be possible!

It's asking for a "reason to request cancellation" and cannot be guaranteed.

You'd be surprised, if you use amazon often, stick your email address in your profile, sellers offer you free stuff all the time.

Actually quite lazy when it comes to reviews, but great tip mate cheers

Yes, make a note in your calendar to cancel before the month is up. Both me and my youngest have done this, hence having to sign hubby up as he was the only one eligable for the free trial.

Mine says audible only available for new members? Haven bought anything yet but doesn't let me sign up

Just bagged 2x fire stick and 1x firestick with voice remote for less than £50... kerchiiiiiingaaa!!

Even saying that you forgot to apply a promotional code is a good enough reason since Amazon tend to have a great returns policy

Suppose so mate. Was just concerned about not being able to buy another one immediately and missing out.

Oh I see - have you tried Amazon's chat support? I don't think there's been a time they haven't been able to resolve my problem and they'd be able to sort it out for you instantly

on prime now use TRYITOUT for £10 off £30order

Great idea. Will give it a try. Cheers mate.

How do you go about cancelling??

Appreciate the help

Just got mine for £9.99 delivered tomorrow with audible credit :smile:

Quick guide for anyone thinking of getting this for £9.99:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/amazon-fire-tv-stick-9-99-for-new-prime-members-from-amazon-2478621

I thought I'd make a thread since I'm going to bed so I won't be able to reply to any more comments. Goodnight!

YouTube and IPlayer are. The fire stick just basically lets you watch videos on your TV rather than your phone or laptop. There is no need for it if you are happy watching on a laptop.

Amazon Fire TV or Nvidia Shield ? Any suggestion

Saved me blowing 20quid amongst all this hype lol thnxu :P

I went for fire TV for £44.99 without looking into it too much. I've no 4k TV but don't want a laggy kodi device so hopefully I've made the right call!

Install kodi on it and you have access to any film/tv series you want.

They are hard to compare as the specs are quite different, the NVidia in my opinion is the Bugatti of the TV Box market and I don't think anything out there can beat it currently.. It's also used as a console. I was tempted tonight by the shield but I don't think the discount was anything amazing so went for the Amazon TV Box

Chat with Amazon sorted me right out mate, cancelled order, re-ordered for 9.99. Legend mate!

My pleasure, glad I could help!

I used to have the Amazon video app for free on the tv. then the stopped supporting it. I had refused to buy this coz was so annoyed.

I give in. you win Amazon /shakes fist.

At least I will get last laugh when I install kodi as well.

Cheers, just got it for £9.99 with the £10 off deal with Audible :smiley:

After reviewing the difference in fire stock and tv
Decided to cancel my stick order and go with the TV with the £10 of credit.

Think the 4.5gb on the stick won't be enough for a emulator hub compared to the TV and an sd card.

simply post a simple kodi install guide ad to Pl5S them off

Is download speed important with a fire stick ? I read somewhere that speeds of 5MB or less might cause buffering problems

Cancelled my fire stick order, signed up for audible trial, went to order fire stick, got told I cannot buy any more :disappointed:

Anyone know if the limit is removed once the cancellation is fully processed? (And how long does that take?)

Sorry if this has already been asked (there's lots of pages) but can you have more than one fire stick on a Prime account ?

Is it better than Chromecast dongle?

According to the system you have already purchased and you cannot repurchase now, you could try CS but I don't think you will have any luck

A question for owners:

The marketing spiel says that the Fire stick has internal memory to buffer programmes. Can you TELL it what to load, like a film?

I ask because since I moved house last year internet TV has become a memory to me (no fibre availability, so many houses sharing the nearest cabinet that the connection is not fast enough to stream reliably and in any quality), so my Chromecast and Smart TV became pretty useless. There is a fast enough connection to download from a reliable source, so I can download 30 mins of iPlayer to my iPad within about 45 mins real time. I want a solution where I can do this straight to my TV screen, and from legitimate sources rather than pirate stuff.

Anyone know if it will do this?

Apologies if already asked...does this self power from tv or does it need a power source? Secondly how easy is it to load kodi to it...i admit not best when it comes to pc's!

Sweet, made a new account and done this, firestick and bbq food for the weekend for £20! Thanks

You need a power source for the firestick to work

It has its own power source plugged into an electrical socket.

Kodi is easy to install, no need for a computer or laptop. Don't let anybody convince you otherwise and definitely don't let anybody charge you to install it onto the stick

Just follow this guide: https://seo-michael.co.uk/tutorial-how-to-install-kodi-on-a-firestick/

Why don't you set up a free trial prime account, then cancel it straight away so you're not charged? That way you can get it at this price today, now :smiley:

I would sign up again, fresh to Amazon Prime, then do the audible get the £10 and then go for the deal... bear in mind though that the £10 credit can only be used on items fulfilled by and delivered by Amazon... and it won't show on your account until you go to buy something that's eligible :smiley:

Noi just cold it's 135.8 degrees below zero for me....

TRYITOUT code did not work for me.

Everyone feel free to have a laugh at me for buying one for £35 yesterday lunchtime! Haha.

64th account? :laughing:

Fab, ordered for step daughters bedroom! Signed upto prime trial

No, I use one on an average speed of 1.8mb and it works fine

thats so wrong.... plenty of free stuff on kodi

It's getting there mate! Not sure how I am not blacklisted yet :laughing:

firestick for a tenner, thanks!

me too result, one for my boys room

can you put kodi on it????

I think you can put on it , I bought it for having kodi on my tv

yes, search youtube for instructions.

So basically everyone in here is a pirate?

LOL Isn't that the truth?! Because after all 'fully loading' one takes all of about 5 minutes. If people are stupid enough to pay it I suppose.

Arrrr... tis true.

Can plex be put on these sticks the version that requires a 4 digit pin to connect to remote server

if you select no rush delivery you get 3£ credit as well making it 6.99! (after applying the £10 credit from audible)

Yes

sure can m8

don't suppose anyone has come across any good quality gaming headsets on offer have they? been searching but only finding the cheap Chinese ones from £49 to £15

Hey guys, thanks. Heat!
Just did your audible tip. Got it for £10
How do u cancel audible??

Here's a tip guys to get more than one I managed to get 8 (2 of each stick)

Make sure you have prime obviously, add the sticks to your basket in Amazon then open the Amazon prime now app and add 2 to your basket in their as well.

Checkout on Amazon.co.uk then checkout on the prime app and voilà!

Thanks will get one to try my iptv sub on then

Surface Pro 3 worth its at £450 with the keyboard? Aren’t these going down in price now the surface4 is out

So this may be a silly question. I have a ps4 with prime video and Netflix/player etc on my virgin box. What extra can I get on the stick?

Guys what does the fire stick actually do? I have a smart tv and can watch Amazon and Netflix directly from my telly. What benefit would buying this bring to someone like me? Will it Mae my subscriptions free?

I would like to know this as well, anyone?

It turns a non-smart tv into a smart tv. If you already have a smart tv, it won't be of much use. No, it won't make subscriptions free.

is it worthwhile getting a firetv box instead of the stick?
box is £55 stick is £20

If you have Google Play Store on your Smart TV, download Kodi and you'll have everything that you'd be able to get on Fire stick

Thanks for trying to be witty.
The poster has every right to vote cold.

Can't decide on whether or not to get this purely for Kodi. Already have smart TV functions via NowTV, PS4 etc, but is the fire stick worth getting for side loading Kodi?
I keep hearing mixed opinions.

I have the box, I would favour it over the stick. It has a USB port so you can add additional memory and an ethernet port so you'll have a stronger internet connection.

I have also read elsewhere that the new version of Kodi won't work on the stick but will work on the box

is it worthwhile getting a firetv box instead of the stick?
box is £55 stick is £20

​Use your phone!

The box does 4K (albeit at only 30Hz).

If you've never tried using Kodi then download it on your computer, phone or tablet & see if you like it or not.

Does anyone know if I can watch the tv show 'banshee' on this? Thanks

I've used it in the past on friend's devices. Don't get me wrong, it's not perfect and can be frustrating finding streams at times, but I feel it's still handy to have.
Just not sure whether the fire stick will handle the streams OK in terms of buffering e.t.c. And there's also reports of the latest Kodi not being compatible with the fire stick?

is it worthwhile getting a firetv box instead of the stick?
box is £55 stick is £20

Don't think so mate, think it has to be roku for pin thing?

Does it have WIFI?

The box is flawless and has 2gb ram plus better GPU for gaming and external memory card slot.

Sticks are OK but they can lag if using for gaming and kodi.

Well worth the investment.

If you install kodi then you have the world as your oyster... who actually uses Amazon prime for tv viewing?

Getting a stick for £10 delivered tomorrow gotta be worth it not matter what i do with it!

Just order one today, and return the £35 one that you bought, Nearly half price for hee haw hassle...

just got the fire stick for £9.99

just bought mine for £2!
£5 fro. the £30 spend gift card
£3 from no rush delivery
£10 for the trial audible books.

love you today :wink:

So ordered a fire stick, do I have to plug it into my computer to download Kodi (I don't have a smart to)?

No. Google 'kodi firestick' for thorough install guides.

Got it, thank you for you

And I have every right to believe that someone who doesn't have Prime shouldn't be even interested in opening a thread clearly marked for Prime Users let alone vote it cold. I mean, I don't have a cat so wouldn't dream of opening a thread about Iams. Similarlarly an item on special offer only in Penzance Tesco. Would I vote it cold because I live 100s of miles away? No.

How do the cheap Chinese boxes stand up to these? I own a Firestick, rooted and booted but I'd like another. Just curious would I be better spending my cash on a Chinese brand, I don't mind the wait.

No, it's all done via the stick. No need for a computer or a smart tv

I want to order one for my bro but if i send it as a gift he does not have prime - i read on amazon this comes preloaded with my prime account details so will he be able to stream movies and stuff or can you reset it to not display Prime content?

​Legend!!!! If anyone is still thinking of ordering, this is the best way..

Just got the fire tv, 3 pizzas, 2 b&j ice cream and onion rings for £20.17.. All delivered between 12 - 2 this afternoon.

Movie night sorted!

Just use prime now and the code..

Is it worth getting the audible remote with firestic for £30?

Can anyone please give me some advice .My mum has never used a tablet before and i was thinking of getting her the amazon fire one ! is this a good tablet and simple to use for someone who's never used one before ? thank you for any feedback :smiley:

Can't believe I ordered 2 of these for £20 each when I could have got them for £10 each! Fuming :disappointed:

S905 boxes do yes. Usually ethernet as well.

Anyone thinking of using KODI just remember that any old laptop with a HDMI out will work just as well.

If you have the space and a wireless mouse it works brilliantly ;-)

Ordered a fire stick and a new oral B 6000 Toothbrush with the auidible £10 voucher. Not a bad day at all :smile:

Thanks, Arriving today so will set it up.

Don't forget if you signed up for the audible trail last week you can use your £10 voucher. Just purchased the fire stick for 9.99

Was going to buy 100 firesticks but don't want to be greedy so only ordered 99

Joking aside i feel like reporting this thread or shutting off the internet as i have spent a fortune already

This deal isn't available to people who have their Prime from a shared household, only the main Prime member has access to the Prime day deals. So I made a new account and did a Prime trial, immediately cancelled it and ordered the stick.

My firestick has got quite laggy the last 6 months. Navigating through the menus is a click and wait job.

For an easy way to load KODI and other android apps to the device if you have another android phone or tablet just download Apps2Fire from the PlayStore. Super easy!

brilliant, £1.99 for a Fire Stick!

Factory reset/reload apps. Will be like new.

Previously I joined the Prime and cancelled it after one week. Can I join it again, order the stick and cancel the Prime again?

Raw Maintenance does a similar job, install that.

Yes. If you have Gmail just put a full stop anywhere in your email address before the '@'. Emails will still come through to you but Amazon treats it as a new email.

Thanks, got the boy a fire tablet for his birthday, £10 off with the audible deal so £24.99, bargain to get my ipad back!!!

In the States there is a limited number- https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Fire-TV-Stick-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00GDQ0RMG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1468319941&sr=8-2&keywords=fire+stick
Deal is 9% Claimed

Is the fire tablet a good buy? Got the £10 voucher so would get it for £25

Only can get one per account?

If you get any problems send me a DM, more than happy to help

thanks i will check this out. Can KODI be easily removed if i decide not to use it?

Is it worth me replacing my Now TV with this?

yup

​You need to order it to someone in the uk then get them to send it.

For a tenner why not have both

Ah???...not a prime member yet so no option to add it to my basket:(, guess it's the £50 Facebook one for me then :laughing:

guess its £50 then m8, joking aside why not do like everyone else and create a new prime account ??

I have the main fire box downstairs (non 4k) loaded with Kodi

Upstairs I have a Sony TV.
Was wondering what memory this stick has? Would I also be able to use it for pause and record on my freeview Sony TV?

How good is the WiFi for streaming kodi? Though cheap I can't be doing with it being slow and stuttering.

For 20 though, seems good for on the go etc.
Can I potentially take to hotel and use my 3 phone as a hotshot and use Kodi wherever I am using the stick?

Can I use multiple discount codes, I have a £5 prime now code and £10 audible code

I have £100 credit with Amazon from my birthday , could I order £30 of gift cards using my credit and then re top up my account when they arrive thus making a £5 profit?

Like others have said, why not have both?
They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Now TV boxes, in my opinion, are faster and have a better user interface. They also have access to Sky Sports and Sky Cinema as well as All4, things the Fire Stick doesn't have.

The Fire Stick has access to Kodi, Netflix and Prime Instant Video, as well as access to hundreds of additional apps, something the Now TV Box doesn't have. You can only sideload one app to the Now TV Box, such as Plex or the FilmOn streaming app which gives you access to the Freeview channels.

when I try to sign up to prime it says its £7.
