I am in the market to purchase an amazon fire stick but I am confused and bewildered as to what to purchase? Prices for what appears to be the same fire stick vary considerably and I need assistance on just what I should purchase for my needs. I am in New Zealand and wish to view Formular1 motor racing and World Rally Champs which Sky NZ have recently dropped from their sport portfolio. I wish an up to date amazon fire stick that is capable of giving me Sky NZ as well as whatever other sport I wish to watch. Do all amazon fire sticks have the same electrical componentry that makes certain apps and contacts impossible to be made or is it all in the programming of any fire stick? Sky NZ are now increasing subscriptions and reducing content I have had enough and wish to go the fire stick way. Please help me.
I get a lot of errors when I use Kodi on my Firestick, is there a guide on how to fix them?
If you plan to use Kodi with the FireStick, don’t. Pay the extra fee and get the FireTV or another Kodi capable box with more ram and better processor. The FireSticks are laggy AF and getting worse everyday….
When is fire stick going to add channels such as BOUNCE, TV ONE AND CENTRIC, yes happy that you have BET, but would like these other channels added too, so i can get rid of my cable completely.
