Anyone here loaded Kodi onto their Amazon Firestick or got a Kodi Box ?

Was wondering if one of these is any good ?

Just get a proper Amazon Firestick and load it yourself. There are so many add-ons that I doubt that the one you've shown is fully loaded... :D
It's not difficult finding or adding channels, I have no aerial and only don't receive Channel 4 and a bit of ITV content live, otherwise I get all UK channels (and I'm sure I'd get Ch4 and the ITV stuff if I looked)/
https://seo-michael.co.uk/best-live-tv-add-ons-for-xbmc-kodi/ will guide you trough downloading anything that you'll want.
The box you linked to looks like a very cheap and poor Chinese piece of junk.

My Grandad has one and my cousins partner loaded Kodi "The Beast" ?? :nenau Onto it and it's utter crap.

Grandad searches for something, clicks on it, tries to watch it and 90% of the time it will just come up saying no sources found.

I personally wouldn't bother not to mention it's against the law, Piracy is a crime!!!

I have it loaded & I have very little problems.
As for the law side. Most people break the law every day in some shape or form.

I think most people run a Kodi on of some description nowadays.

The last program I used on mine was Genesis. As Banshee said, lotsa dead links on there, but that has now been sorted with the new Exodus program.

You may have to drop me a PM with the details of that mate as my Grandad is dying to use his to watch the oldie films

Well managed to install the downloader ok.

When I installed http://troypoint.com/kodistable with the exception of music stuff I could not see where any free films were lurking.

I got the Kodi App but lost my way a bit thereafter.

Have now uninstalled the Kodi App but kept the downloader to try another day. Might have to get my mate's young lad to sort it. Teenagers seem very tech savvy these days.

I refuse to buy ANYTHING from Amazon. They're a modern day slave labour company. Awful working conditions in their wharehouses and proper shiester goings on with their suppliers too.
Any product I've been to buy online that comes up as Amazon the cheapest is usually poo as soon as you take postage into account, let alone how long they take to deliver :/
As for Kodi, I have recently mustered up the brain to work long enough and installed Kodi on my laptop.
I've enjoyed Grand Tour and oodles of films with no problems .:D

The only place I can get replacement rear ARB clamp Bushes for my Jeep that is fitted with an American made ADCO upgraded rear anti-roll bar is Amazon !

Having an ethical position has with me to also be realistically linked to cost.

The ADCO rear clamp bushes via Amazon work out at £27-34 for a pair depending on the Dollar Exchange rate. The closest price I could find these from a UK source was over £75 !

Delivery time between ordering and arriving in the UK from the USA was 4 days and the price includes postage. The goods were properly packaged in a vacuum sealed plastic pack and the quality seems pretty good.

Sorted thanks to this video on U Tube.

Watched Sully last night Tom Hanks fitted the part brilliantly.
