Just got one for xmas...really like it, was able to reduce my cable bill significantly since as well..

was wondering if anyone else has one (jail broken fire stick basically), if so..

was video add-ons do you guys use and for what....


I'm mostly on Navi-X and Sports Devil...

[metrickid]

Since you say you were able to reduce your bill I'm guessing this now plays pirate streams online instead?

live streams is part of the content you can find...but there is a lot of content for your viewing pleasure...

been using Kodi on my fire tv for awhile now.

lots of great repos out there; I find myself using mostly Navix, 1channel, sportsdevil, and Genesis.

Can never seem to find a reliable live TV stream though.

Same, having a hard time finding live tv stream.
I use the above mentioned as well as pheonix

Cut the cord for almost two years. Its fukin bullshit we have to pay over $100 a month for television.

Get a HD antenna for local HD channels for News, local sports, etc. Then get a media/streaming box for Kodi or whatever you use

Nice...Been exploring pheonix and 1 channel as well, Icefilms also..

pheonix has all those classic cartoons..really cool...

live tv stream is still the main issue, can't find a stable one...

Thats why I still have basic cable+HD channels...until I find a stable stream I'll keep that current cable pkg...

I have been using 1channel, but want to explore using more.

[GreaseMonkey]

1channel and Genesis have been my main addons. Anyone have a good source for streaming and sports?

sportsdevil

[Properstyle]

Does this come with the speed channels or the replacement for such?

[gtron]

nVidia Shield + kodi + hdhomerun connect + sling + ultimate home remote = pretty awesome

i'll check some of the apps i use besides those later when i get home.

i have a few fire sticks too. they're okay.

edit: pandora, youtube, CBS News (live news stream), Google Live Channels (combines Pluto + HD Homerun), VLC, PBS, UFC, Netflix.

i don't use neflix or ufc that much so only pay when i use it which is rare.

additionally, i don't really do it to save money but rather i don't like the way cable companies force unnecessary garbage. "oh you want hgtv? that's a whole different package with 25 channels you don't want but will pay for." everything should be a la carte.

[SixBanger]

Bring it back and get the Nvidia Shield you'll thank me. You can use Kodi with the SHield and it's must faster than the fire stick.

[gtron]

Oh yea, Crackle has some surprisingly quality stuff depending on what you're into.

I have the shield too and just using kodi...what the ultimate home remote thing you talk about? Im still new to this

ultimate home remote is basically just a fancy universal remote that can also control things in your home... like lights and crap. for example, press a button like "watch movie" and the lights dim, turns on shield, receiver and tv.

unfortunately, the X button does not map at the moment but both logitec and nvidia are working on it. X is huge if you use kodi most the time. if you're going to spend the money you might want to wait for the X button. i'm still really happy with it though.

ii know you didn't ask but i use the hdhomerun for digital HD OTA for free local news. it adds tuners to your network so you can watch live free tv from any device. works great in kodi... 5.1 and all. good for local emergencies.

[SMOKE EM IF U GOT EM!!]

I'm having nothing but issues w kodi on the fire stick lately. Can't get through more than five ten mins w out it pausing and starts to buffer. I have good signal strength when I check it. Don't think it's that. Someone said to stream in low quality video instead of hd but don't know where to change settings. And it seems pointless to me to watch in lq video in the first place.

Anyone else having problems with Genesis being slow? Takes forever to load

[E90SDGUY]

Same here Genesis and Pheonix been very slow.

[GreaseMonkey]

Genesis has been very unstable, but 1channel works like a charm. Which wifi channel is everyone running?

[geneatals]

really disappointed with trying to find a stream for UFC last night..ended up going back to my laptop and website to TV via HDMI I use..much more stable and clear....let's see how this AMs NFL games look..regardless...still happy with my firestick

[G559]

1channel has movies like Genesis? I have 150 upload 50 download speeds and I can't load any movie HQ or higher, and SQ movies buffer like crazy.
