Smart TV Box KODI XBMC Fully Loaded

I think I must be on the wrong board here. Recommending something that costs £400 to replace a completely viable £30 option really isn't money saving.

yup , you can even buy some rubbish from china for £15 , but WILL it work?


actually the nuc is the back up computer and it was only the cost of the M2 card to make it duel boot , and a £6 xbox remote , so it works out cheaper than a Pi

Well the Android Kodi based media player I bought for £26.95 delivered on eBay works just fine for me. If it hadn't I'd have opened a "not as described" dispute and got a refund.

Kodi is XBMC, just a new name.

It came with kodi installed amongst other apps. The kodi was out of date but as the box can access the Play store it was easy enough to update. Using a wireless keyboard with a touchpad which I already had makes things a bit easier than just using an IR remote but it is still completely usable with just the remote and you can add whatever add-ons you choose if the pre-installed ones don't suit your needs.

Just buy an Amazon Fire stick currently £35 and sideload Kodi onto it. With Kodi you can watch films, TV , live sport, http://www.htpcbeginner.com/install-kodi-on-amazon-fire-tv/
