Amazon Fire TV

Reserved one in Argos yesterday went to collect today and gone up to£79 (reserved at £64). Nothing they can do

Amazon also 79 now
 
The build quality of this thing is incredible! Feels far more expensive than £64!

Got Kodi on and so far so good. I'm not convinced my video settings are correct but ill look at that later.

One thing, without a Prime Instant Video subscription there is a lot that won't work. But I bought it for Netflix and Kodi so I'm happy.

Oh and is there a way to browse the full app store on the FTV? Or do you have to use a PC and send apps to the device?
 
I plan on retiring the FTV remote so won't have voice search. Ill stick with using the website then.

My latest thinking is CEC as I found out accidentally that a lot of it works straight up. I need to see if I can tweak some buttons on my Harmony but if I can get it to do all the commands on the FTV remote ill be happy.
 
Ha, Clov!s didn't realise I was buying from the same person from this thread :-)

As you can see I already have one and your one will be going in spare room. I couldn't see any frame rate problems with my one so maybe a direct comparison will shed more light, maybe yours has some kind of problem.

Will let you know if I do see any difference!
 
Hi guys,I'm in the market for a new media player,currently have a western digital and is great,wanted something that can do other stuff as well,this looks to fit the bill.

What's the main difference in the fire to android media players ( there are so many now).

I have a buffalo 4tb bad,the western was easy to set up and I like it like that,don't want to spend loads of time mucking about setting up a new device.

How easy is the fire to set up and install xbmc ?

How much better is the fire to the western media player ?
 
Ok anyone come across this issue? Bought a fire tv side loaded Kodi but all my mkv are upside down?

Update:

Ended up factory resetting the FTV and started again, no problems this time.
