I would guess the people they wish would go away are the ones buying the boxes off eBay, that have no idea how to troubleshoot anything themselves and bitch at Kodi devs when stuff goes wrong in the third party apps. [Reply]
Alright - just getting into this and not 100% sure what I'm looking for. Friend directed me to www.minix.us to get a box, but I see they are readily available just about anywhere.
So, one of you experts get me going in the right direction as to what I need. [Reply]

Then you'd load KODI on it and install some plugins. It's a piece of cake. There's countless guides online, including videos. And if you have any trouble, I'd be happy to help. [Reply]

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]

It's all there. The one drawback is that fast moving sports on a stream tend to be a little streaky. It's not bad. It is noticeable. But I've learned to live with that. I've also learned to live with an extra 2300$ per year in my pocket. [Reply]

Awesome. So:
1. Buy the Amazon Fire TV
2. Download KODI
3. Install whatever programs or what have you that you want
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.
