follow the beast on twitter he always posts upgrades and tips for the beast https://twitter.com/b1810chris
Thanks yall. This dude was charging $150 for the stick and promising all channels and movies.
Yea stick is $43 out the door. Dude was trying to come up. I ain't mad at him
I think the "new" Fire Stick is exactly same as the 'old' Fire Stick. The only difference is which remote you get with it. The "new" Fire Stick comes with the same voice control remote that comes with the Fire TV Box.
There was a guy in the barber shop last night trying to sell Fire Sticks for 200 bucks a piece. I started laughing and said "Wait a minute. Arent they like 40 bucks at Best Buy?" He told me the fire sticks he had were "unlocked", that's why they cost more. I told him to kick rocks. He was pissed because after I made my comment, nobody else wanted to buy one.
glad i click on this thread, i was about to buy a used xbox to stream movie apps for the tv in my game room. all the best buys here have fire sticks available so im going in when they open.
bruh I'm posted up outside best buy now waiting on them to open. Got a couple orders to fill today
Yep that's the only difference. Just don't know if they did anything to keep you from loading kodi on it
In all honesty $150 is a fair price considering all that it does.
I don't charge that much because when you say $100 flat the price point sounds more appealing to the person you selling it to.

My man knows the hustle game. $100 selling price has people ready to jump on em.
Sidenote: is best buy the only store that carries them?
Ayy mac if u load that beast shit on yours let me know i wanna get your thoughts on it and see how you did it.
Also when you say 'cut down on install time' what exactly is taking so long? I can usually do one completely in like 15-20 minutes, start to finish.
I already got adbfire on my laptop, got the latest build of kodi saved, and two sources i can type in really fast using the fire stick app on my phone to get all the necessary repos that people want. And the only reason i have two is because SPORTSDEVIL isn't spey apart of the main one i use.
Plus i don't add the shortcut to kodi on the main page. A few extra button clicks ain't gonna kill you.

when you sell the sticks...do ppl bug you about updates or other shit if it doesn't work "perfectly"?
was thinking about selling a few...but I'm worried that they won't know how to troubleshoot it on their own if they encounter the little things that happen and nag me about it

That's why I've been using the super repo cuz the code is super short(srp.nu) and it has sportsdevil included.
Yea I'm doing em in about 20 mins. And I've been thinking about cutting out the shortcut.
I'm gonna put the beast on when i get in and I'll let you know how I'm feeling about it

Never fucked with super repo. I've always used the official one from kodi.tv, which is fusion:
http://fusion.tvaddons.ag
Then add iwillfolo for SPORTSDEVIL:
http://iwillfolo.com/iwf/
I like the fusion one because it's REALLY smooth and they have developer options under the PROGRAMS tab that you can use which optimize the device's specs to get the most out of it.
Two things that speed things up for me are using the fire stick app on my phone. I can type everything in real fast so that's a plus. Second thing is making the person sign up for their own amazon account before giving me the fire stick.

Man I'm not troubleshooting SHIT. Most people now are familiar with streaming sites or watching movies online so i tell them off rip everything WON'T work all the time and a lot of it depends on your WiFi signal strength and Internet speeds. I tell them keep the fire stick as close as possible to your WiFi router and make sure you have DL speed of 20mbps or better to keep it running smoothly. Buy an extender if need be. Usually that keeps them working well.
Now if it's to the point where an update is needed to even open kodi then I'll update it but for the most part once i sell it I'm out the picture. I might let you call and ask me 2 or 3 questions but after that I'm blocking your number. And if one of those first questions is about buffering or a link not working when there are 30 other links there to try you're catching the block right then and there.

Yea that's what's been killing me is those damn amazon accounts. Luckily i have a shit load of dummy emails accounts I've been using but I'm running out.
ok...makes sense...45 minutes tho
I was thinking about selling some to a few of coworkers...but ya that's not going to end well...cuz I can see them complaining the second shit doesn't go right

Yea i wouldn't typically talk to somebody that long but dude has me doing about 10/day most days so I'm hoping me teaching him how to work it will allow him to talk the folks he's selling em to through it
Bruh, make them do it.
That way when you get it all you do is decline the amazon prime free trial and go right to the home screen after that lil goofy ass video.
That's why i charge $100 if i gotta buy the thing for them. You gonna make me go to the store and set up a dummy account for you? That's an additional $20...

Man, just make sure who you selling it to is somewhat tech savvy. If you sell it to a jackass don't give them your number or you gonna get those dumb ass questions.
I'll never forget my mother in law wanted one ssssoooooo bad so my wife bought her one and said this will be here Christmas gift. So i hooked it up and i spent damn near 2 hours going through how to use it. Then whenever a link wouldn't work, i got a phone call that 'this shit don't work son in law come fix it.' I'd go there and it would be the simplest shit. One time it was a typo in trying to spell the name of the movie they wanted to watch. A FUCKING TYPO!!!
After that i learned my lesson. If you can't use your damn cell phone right, can't tell me your Internet speed that you're paying for or any other simple tech question i ask you not getting my number and you better pray the repo you like using the most never goes bad because if it does you shit outta luck.

I have the fusion repository also. What's the difference between that The Beast. I think Daffy addon came back last week which makes watching live TV and Sports easier.
Think of Kodi as the base, like the operating system. The Beast is just a configuration that runs on top of Kodi. You can't install the Beast without Kodi.
Beast is just a configuration of many add-ons and menu setup and backgrounds. You can do the same yourself, just time consuming. So some say it's overkill cause it installs too much. You can't please everyone.
I've been running Kodi/XBMC for about 4 years on different devices usually 5-8 at a time (many TV outlets in the crib), and Beast is one of simplest things to set up and allow the fam to browse around in that I've used. For certain TV's I just use the light form of it without the porn for the young ones.
They've been posted. Read the other posts in this thread

The shit sucks. It never works in my daughters room. Netflix can't connect ever. It's too far away from the modem to pick up a signal. I fucking hate it. I ended up just getting another cable box.
you need a better router with longer reach fam, the shit works flawless for me and live in a duplex with the router upstairs, i have a asus router
I love my Fire TV Sticks and Box!!
it's so easy to get Kodi on them.
Get ADBFire
go to the kodi.tv page, download the lasted Android version the on that says "APK Install: ARM"
open ADBFire, connect to your FireStick......click install APK, then choose the Kodi.apk you just downloaded.
once it's done go to Setting>Applications>Manage Installed Apps>Kodi>Launch App
once Kodi is up and running.....go to the System tab, the in the bottom options choose "File Manager".....click add source, type in this address http://spartanpixel.net/repo hit ok/add.....then get out off there.
click on SYSTEM>Add-Ons>install from zip......then go to Repo you should see something like "wizardROM", choose it......once you see the little tab pop up that tells you WizardROM has been enabled, get out to the main menu in Kodi....go to the PROGRAMS tab....find the WizardROM......once you're in it you should see The Beast and Spartan..... you'll want to install The Beast. once it's done installing it will prompt you to restart Kodi, do it.....then let everything update, it will do so automatically.
once that's done you're free to explore all your new entertainment options.
see, simple and easy
don't be a sucka and pay someone to do something that will literally take you 15 minutes on your first try.....less than 10 once you get the hang of it.
seriously fan, some of y'all are making this harder than it really is.......I promise you, if you can set up a BGOL account and browse porn all over the net.....you can easily get your Fire Stick setup with Kodi and The Beast! give it a go, worse thing that can happen is you fuck it up, then reset the bitch and start over.
My Firestick with Kodi is working great and wasn't difficult to install at all...the most difficult part was/is adding the repo's and keeping up with the current Add-ons when some stop working... If you dont want to deal with that part, just install the Tvmc version with preinstalled Add-ons.
