I agree Amazon Fire Stick with Kodi and a small good selection of add ons will cover Film, TV and Sport.

Would there much difference between a £50 one on the large internet auction site and some that are selling for £80+.
Is this just sellers with different pricing?

They have added the illegal addons .

Be aware that Amazon will use the fact that you have installed Kodi to wriggle out of their warranty obligations.

Odd that as Kodi is a perfectly legal media player .

Should be able to get one via ebay for less than £50. I would recommend looking for sellers that do not sell overloaded sticks with 'builds' on but instead have installed a small collection of quality add ons, Stick runs better that way.

You can buy an Amazon Fire Stick from of course Amazon for £32.99 and install things yourself. Just google 'seo michael kodi ' for further information.

don't buy loaded boxes. they are full of stuff you will never use. just buy a raspberry pi (you should have cables, sdcard lying around) and install what you need

Even a Pi 1 is going to be more expensive than a Fire stick or an Android media player.

Agreed with the first part of this - Just buy a stick and install what you will use
All the "fully loaded" ones are fully loaded with rubbish

You can get addons for the Roku 2 and Intel Stick PC which will give you access to all of the Amazon stuff.

Fully agree. The Raspberry Pi was the very first device I ever put Kodi on.
I now usually use Amazon fire sticks but also have Kodi on Laptops (Windows and Linux operating systems) Android box, and also Android phone. A small number of quality kodi add ons is all you need,
