PongRiddims Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Heard a few people mention this now and plenty for sale on ebay so it appears all above board.Dose anyone have experience of these and are they any good?I've not got a stick personally but I use it through a laptop into the TV and it's pretty good, depending on what you're looking to do with it. My understanding is the sticks are just basic android devices with Kodi installed, might be wrong though. The Kodi app itself is legal, I think it's the when you use some of the really popular addons, such as phoenix and Genesis where it's illegal. What are you looking to use if for? I don't think it's quite there for live streams as yet from what I've read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The sticks are quite legal, they are just a way of getting streaming video to your television. I use a Raspberry Pi for similar purposes and I've got Kodi installed on my computer too. It's better for watching archived stuff than live TV in my experience (ie, YouTube) but I really like it.

Tegis Posted October 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2015 Installed on my Raspberry pi 2, I haven't found a use for it really.Same here, but that's more the fact that two of my three main legit streaming sources (netflix is one unless you buy a third party source) doesn't work with Kodi.As a media device it's quite impressive and if I didn't build a htpc from a NUC I'd probably had everything I need combining a Pi with Kodi and a Chromecast for the non working bits.

If I was you, I'd download the app for Windows, do a little research on the add ons available, like I say I think Genesis and Phoenix are totally illegal so probably wouldn't start with them, at all. If you like what you see, buy a stick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Don't buy a pre loaded stick from an eBay scalper.Get an Amazon Fire stick and side load kodi onto it, it's dead easy and loads of tutorials about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2015 I use Kodi (OSMC on Raspberry Pi2) all the time. Genesis, Phoenix and NBC Football covers all my needs. Movies, TV series and Live Streams. Fantastic software imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted November 4, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) You need to get an NBC account and use a USA VPN. Which VPN service do you use PIA Manually configured OpenVPN via command line to get it working (no Kodi app unfortunately ). Was pretty straight forward.
