Amazon Fire TV **Update**

Ok, So I purchased myself an Amazon Fire TV & an Amazon Fire TV Stick.  The initial Kodi install took me a bit to figure everything out, but the second one was done in 15 minutes!  The Fire TV doesn't get warm or use hardly any power, is crazy fast, easy to side-load Kodi, & has a great app selection.  The Stick for video streaming and Kodi use isn't noticeably slower!  It lags behind on the games, but is still very usable.  I also noticed that the stick tends to run on the warm side.  That said, it doesn't get anywhere near as hot as the generic xbmc/kodi boxes (like the midnight etc.) get.  It's really important to note that it's probably not a good idea to root these devices.  Amazon released an update that will perma-brick rooted units.  Plus, you can side-load almost any ARM APK so why bother?  These units are amazing and I am impressed.  I have since retired my PlayOn/Roku setup and use the Amazon devices exclusively.
