Guys, I have been using XBmC/now kodi for a long time. I used to do it through a laptop or a Amazon Kindle fire. It could be done but was somewhat complicated and had varying results, buffering, etc.
Christmas time I got a Amazon fire stick, this is the easiest YouTube video there has been thus far to put kodi on a fire stick. You do not need a android developers Bridge or any of that stuff that was previously needed. It works flawlessly. As far as watching television shows and movies. I had watched spotlight, hateful eight, concussion, the Martian, creed, the Reverent etc. etc. several before they were even available at the movies. Most of these on prime wire. Trust me, this is the easiest video, you can go through it in 10 min.

ironically enough the problems I am having with streaming speed and Wi-Fi in my other thread, are exclusively to Showtime anytime and HBO go, everything works perfectly with kodi.
