It's only really worth getting a Fire TV Stick if it's your cheapest option.
If it's not, get whatever is. There's loads of choice.
What do you mean by this?
Was going to pick up one for Christmas as a stocking filler for my Husband.
He had an Android box before with Wookie/XBMC/Kodi on it but it was so shit. We always ran into issues - stuff wouldn't load or the interface would delete itself etc... So we chucked it but he misses it, as he loves movies and TV. He has gone back to downloading torrents instead now but its an arse connecting the laptop to the TV, pausing it etc... We don't even watch Netflix anymore because its annoying connecting the laptop to the TV.
I was going to get a Fire TV stick and follow the instructions on here - load Kodi onto it and then the additional add-ons - Phoenix, Sports Mania (and get a sub), Exodus etc...
What is a better alternative?
Something I can pick up on the high-street? Don't want to order something online as I only have today and tomorrow morning to build it whilst he is at work.
It's for movies - not every day, but maybe 3-4 a week, maybe some TV series, we have full Sky Sports/BT sub so the only football we will watch will be 3pm games occasionally.
