Fish took me from a rookie and helped me along the way. After 6 months I can troubleshoot most issues and bought a firetv box and loaded everything myself. I'm now 7 months cable free and never, ever miss anything I want to watch. [Reply]

That's my ultimate goal - no cable. The cost of having it is ridiculous.
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. [Reply]

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 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.

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

Wow, that was simple. I give you eleven billion super rep points. These are not average rep points, they are super. So don't just give them away.
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!
Well I'm mighty stingy with rep anyway, so I'll manage the rep hammer responsibly. :-)
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. [Reply]

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