Anyone can. Most guys don't have the time and patience to do it. I spent a solid year learning the in and outs and fixes and loading of repositories and adding apps in a way that's somewhat user friendly for the average guy. Your a million miles from done 2w2p. And I say that in a nice way.

Cool.

You can put Kodi on your pc. All depends on how you want to watch it. The Amazon box allows you to keep your PC free for surfing at the same time.

Manchester once you learn how to add playlists you will be complete. Playlists are websites with local or Networks stations you paste to a playlist loader app and will bring up every channel Directv shows you and more. But takes a degree of sophistication to do this. And a lot man hours to learn if you want it done correctly.

I posted that video yesterday with the guy showing you Dragon Sports. I had it on my system before and deleted it. But others I know swear by it. So I put it back on yesterday and looked it over and found it a bit cumbersome and it took too many clicks to get to what you actually wanted to watch. But this is a slow season for American sports and no baseball games were playing when I was looking around this app. I'll dig into it more later. I use Sportsdevil religiously. And so should you. It has EVERYTHING you could ever need. but the majority of games are not HD. But PLENTY good enough to watch every night without it even being an issue. Its a must have app IMO. Sporting events on Kodi do not run flawlessly in HD unless you pay for an app such as Sportaccess or Sportsmania or OffsidesStreams. I had one month or one week subscriptions with the first 2 and the quality was fantastic. But they didn't play every single game like you can get with sportsdevil. But i've been reading them on Twitter and FB and it sounds like that will be improving or already has. I just don't like to pay these guys if I dont need to. That's the idea of cutting the cord.

Yes Toby. Sometimes they are a bit of a pain to find and watch. But they are definitely all there and more. People are used to a tv running on a channel all day non stop. With apps you click on a show like Spongebob for instance and it plays till the episode is over then stops unless you set it to "play all". But all apps don't offer that feature. So if you have small kids who don't know how to work this....you will be doing a lot of labor setting them up once one of their shows are over. But there is also a guide I provide that runs like a regular guide on cable. but there are flaws in that too. The "G" movie section in Genesis will give you every Disney movie they ever wanted to watch and if you put one of those on your set for a while. My grandson just watched Minions and Antman when he was over here yesterday. You WILL be wishing you had this on your Firetv box already. Can promise you that.

If you need any further help, just let me know.

You can still use your Netflix and Hulu account if you like. Its still on your stick. Movies ARE HD. Thats the best part of movies on Kodi. It just takes a lot of bandwidth to play these. So sometime they will buffer at the beginning. If it does.... you're supposed to pause the movie till it catches up. 1-2-3-5 minutes tops and no issues after that. Go take a leak and before you get back it should run flawlessly. You CHOOSE the feed you want. There's usually 2-5 in 1080...another 10+ on 720. Some even in SD. They recommend watching in 720 for no issues. But I've watched many in 1080 without a flaw. I personally have a nice Plasma tv and get 50 Mps from my internet provider. So I have a nice setup here. But i have 4-5 tvs at the house here and they are not all this nice a tv. I was turned onto an app I provide you with that clears your cache recently and just cleans up your whole system like emptying your trash folder on your pc or running your defrag. Everything runs great after a clean for quite a while. But I clean mine often to eliminate issues.

Navigating is the same. Pick a show and the season you want, pick the episode if its a tv show, click play and its on your screen. No different. But on a movie you will have to choose a stream/feed. 1080-720 etc. but not every movie app requires this. Some play with one click and your good to go.

Yea...the box is more powerful and you can just feel it as your surfing. You maneuver more smoothly. I have my extra tvs set up with sticks. But my main one I have a box. No real reason too myself, but you can add an external hard drive and download to it. Or add a Keyboard and mouse with the USB port. The stick doesn't have this. Just a cheaper way to surf. But plenty good enough. You will really never know what unit you are using if you're using both and switching inputs like I do at times. But the extra features are nice.

Paypal
bushay44@yahoo.com

$150 Box
$100 Stick

I always ask if you want me to put some porn apps on it. Some don't want me too cause they have kids that use it so I always ask. But they are easily enabled and disabled so they can be hidden off the main screen. I'm going to put you down for a yes! unless I hear different.

I don't believe that sticks or boxes are set up for 4k but I could be wrong. I do know that there are sections and apps that show 3d movies. I'll have to look into this further. Again. You want a stick correct?

2w2p says yes but I've yet to see a Netflix app for Kodi but........the original Netflix app will be on the same page in the apps section of Amazon. So you can either click on Netflix OR the Kodi app. Kodi app has everything Netflix has and 10 times more but I understand people are comfortable with using the Netflix app anyways.
