    its remains stock if you install Kodi. Not sure why you think Kodi would be any different to any other software

    You can only do that via the remote when it has booted up.

    Never done it so I wasn't sure if it required altering the stock Amazon software to side load Kodi onto the stick .

    Even the Lite version (which is like the original Fire TV Stick) is currently only £19.99. The standard is £24.99 and the 4k version is £29.99.
