I ordered a FireTV on Wednesday since Fish gave it his seal of approval, should be here today, so I'm going to spend the weekend getting it set up. |

https://www.tvaddons.ag/install-kodi-amazon-fire-tv/ The adbFire app is infinitely easier to use than the ESFileExplorer method in my opinion. And it also gives you countless other capabilities to do stuff you'll need to do with your FireTV. Once that's done, launch KODI. Then follow this guide to setup Fusion within KODI(Fusion is a website source that allows you to install addons directly within KODI): https://www.tvaddons.ag/fusion-installer-kodi/ Once Fusion is installed, then follow this to install the Addon Installer app: https://www.tvaddons.ag/addon-installer-kodi/ Once that's done, you'll launch the Addon Installer, and install the actual addons. Addon Installer is under Programs. Once Addon Installer is launched, go to the Featured section. I'd start with installing Exodus, 1Channel, Pro Sport, Phoenix. You can also install Sportsdevil, but must do that manually. Download the Sportsdevil .zip file here(BUT DO NOT UNZIP IT!): http://www116.zippyshare.com/d/41a8y...2016-05-03.zip Use adbFire to push the file to the addons folder. Then manually install the zip via this method: http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Install...from_zip_files Once those are installed, you can navigate within KODI to System\Settings\Skin\Settings and tweak how KODI looks. Once you get a bit familiar with the interface, you can also install new Skins, and customize the living shit out of things. Including have links to other Amazon FireTV apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, Pandora, launch directly within KODI. Other Stuff: Here's a guide to sideload using just about any method/device: http://www.aftvnews.com/sideload/ Here's a couple pages full of resources and instructions to do just about anything with your FireTV: https://www.tvaddons.ag/ http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv http://www.aftvnews.com/ Too much? Let me know if you have questions.

It hasn't been working for several weeks, and the repo has also been dead so you can't install it.

I'm sure I'll have questions....what to add, etc. I added the 4 you suggested (Exodus, 1Channel, Pro Sport, Phoenix) - once I get a bit familiar with what I'm doing, I'm sure there is tons more I can ask. Thanks a ton for all the help! |

If/when you have questions, hit me up. It's capable of quite a bit, just let me know how far down the rabbit hole you wanna go. It's capable of being rooted at the moment, if that tickles your fancy. You can do some extra customization stuff with root. It's complicated. But if there's not really anything specific in mind you needed it for, it won't really be necessary. You can sideload just about any app. There was a recent update released for FireTV, the v5.0.5.1 firmware update. If you've already went through the setup process, you've probably already updated to that as they try and force it as part of the setup process. It changed things quite a bit. Mostly for the better.

I'm going to do this. Thanks for the info. But before I make my purchase, will the FireTV Stick be sufficient or should I go with the box? |

Get the box. After following Fish's instructions I'm watching everything on KODI in HD. The excess memory has been an incredible upgrade.

Yeah, seriously. The price difference is bullshit for the difference in hardware you get. Just spend the tiny extra and not worry about it.
