    are you ing ting me

    Seriously a laptop everytime you want to use Netflix on your TV?

    I have Kodi on the Firetv stick and I can get a of plug-ins and functionality that you get on a laptop. You can even run emulators and roms. It's a powerful little thing if you know how to take advantage of it.

    A $30 stick doing the same thing that something five times the price of what you're pimping. Go to the Firetv stick xda and educate yourself.

    Then look up Kodi while you're at it.

    Bingo.

    Amazon Firetv stick + Kodi

    Use the Pulsar or Genesis plugin to watch 1080P movies of all kinds of movies including new releases.

    Use the Vdubt25 plugin to watch channels from all over the world.

    Use Sports Devil plugin to watch live sports from all over the world.

    Then there's thousands of plugins for everything ranging from do entaries and porn and everything in between.

    All for a little $25-30 stick doing the same that a laptop does when it comes to that kind of stuff.

    That's the thing. It can't do everything a laptop does. Not even close

    for movies tv sports and live streaming channels yes it absolutely can. they are $40 now but thats a steal. once yo ulearn how to program a stick doing a new one takes you 15-20 mins. they also have paid addons that give you up to 700 live streaming tv channels (a lot are international) 40 adult channels all hbo cinemax showtime etc $80 per year. but you can find a lot of them free.

    my favorite addones

    genesis
    the mutts nuts
    robocop ultimate (sports streams galore)
    sports devil (sports streams galore)
    iptv stalker with IVUE Tv (almost 200 streaming channels with movie channels sports etc)

    if you dont want to do the work to learn everything ill sell you one for $80 configured or if you want to learn how contact me via pm ill point you in the right direction free.

    Well that sounds cool. But my review is of the chromecast out the box. It said you can install all the available apps. Which were about 50. Out of this 50 about 30 are aapps like Christian radio or some like that. Out of the remaining 20 over half you need subscriptions to. HBO, etc. So basically you can only YouTube, Netflix Spotify that

    Piece of crap. At least out of the box

    There's a ton of videos on YouTube that show how to install Kodi on the Firetv box and stick like this one:



    Just play around with it. There's no actual way to up your device since all you're doing is sending a program from your computer to the device.

    Yeah you can use the Sports Devil addon and I'm assuming even the Robocop Ultimate one that Heath recommended (I still need to try it).

    What's the minimum requirement for internet speed for HD games? The reason why I hate streaming online is because every now and then it will lag..Rarely it happens but it does happen. Plus ads and ..
