May have been mentioned, but the Amazon Firestick is on special at the moment, £25 from Amazon or Argos, just ordered one Bollox!!! I paid £35 for mine a couple of Weeks ago!!! You can power it off a USB port on your TV!!! It works on my TV upstairs but for some reason I have to use the Mains option on the one in the Living Room!!! |

Getting there  The BThomehub was not allowing it in although you could get going with wireless, it was a one way connection. You have to get into the router and switch off "Smart Setup". As soon as I did that I could send Kodi APK to the Firestick, still uploading it now. |

Going well so far, impressed, I haven`t added any HD stuff yet, but so far so good All the menus are a lot quicker, everything happens quicker. I have 70meg broadband which helps of course There is no doubt in my mind that it is a bargain |
