good luck... like i siad i had mine for a year and all of a sudden it got stuck on the start up screen.. after googeling that problem and found out a lot of people run into that problem... troubleshooting consisted of downloading new android software not kodi software, downloading new kodi software is easy... i had to download new software to a sd card and that didnt work so i had to open the box and short circuit that shyt and it still didnt work.

was told at kodi.com if i was just interested on just running kodi then just get the amazon product, the people who get the android box use them for gaming and a bunch of shyt.

im running a custom android software on my bo

and meh if after a year mine conks ill buy a new one.
I was paying like 75 a month for cable tv, now i pay 0.

paying 50 a year will be worth it, and hell i may upgrade anyways to a 2 or 3 gig ram android tv

you still have cable?

folks are indoctrinated cable is so pricey for the crummy content you get, sometimes with cable i barely turned on my tv. Now im using my box every day for hours.

i think the best part about kodi isnt really the live sports, even though that was why i got it in the first place but the movies... the addons are like having Net Flix, instead u have every movie on there that u can think of in high quality... also shows... they have every show u can think of, all the seasons.

Did i mention porn? :sas1:

right... paying for cable is some bullshyt... waayyy over priced and the price just keeps going up.... u have to pay extra for high def? :why:

after u watch a fight or a couple of movies the box basically has paid for iteslf.

God bless the internet.:mjcry:

ive been watching king of queens up to season 4 the past few weeks, just so easy to turn on my box watch what I want and voila, no searching for links , no downloading.

Even the music addons, got soundcloud and tunein if i just feel like listening to music.

U guys dont have to buy the box, u can just use ur laptop... just connect the laptop to ur tv... thats how i started.

getting the box and having a remote to browse for shyt was just more pleasant so i ended going that route.

I'm all for cutting cable but I'm not sure why yall are obsessed with streaming

I personally download the shows I want in HD, put em on a 128GB flash drive, and watch them on the big screen using my Sony Blu-ray player.

That joint supports NTFS as well so I can hook up my portable external to it as well :ohlawd:

does the file type matter? like mp4, avi etc?

i used to pay like 75 for cable tv alone
now i just pay for the internet

breh how messed up it is that you cant even get the CW with rogers, yet with a digital antenna you can get it hd crystal clear
Will keep this in mind when I move into my new spot...:win:

Tried telling my mom to do this but old people are lazy...no way they tryna do these steps.

Not at all for the one I have. Even handles mkv containers which blew my mind.

It's the Sony BDP S3500. The later models are probably even better
