2016 *What streaming media device do you use?

Oh and if some of the boxes are coming fully loaded...how do they update to receive the current shows, etc?
 
Can someone tell me does either of these really work? Does it have to be jailbroken/rooted for it to work as I hear most people say? Will I get the new movies as everyone says? Will I get the premium channels?

I want to get rid of cable and trying to see a different option.
No jailbreak for the stick.
Just enabling it to use 3rd party apps.
I will say that there is a bit of learning curve using it and finding stuff.
How tech savvy are u?

i just got the Firestick and set it up today. I installed Kodi. Works fine for me, i watched a few shows and tested the new x-men movie and it played fine. I cancelled cable earlier today as well and only have internet service at $50 a month (down from the $185 i was paying). I also have netflix and amazon prime. I'm gonna order two more sticks for my other rooms (or maybe the box) and get me a couple of HD antennas. I will never pay for cable tv again. Too many apps and other services that can be had for free or less than having cable.

Look into getting an indoor antenna , you can get one as cheap as $5 on Amazon
Depending on your location you can get free HD LIVE TV
is worth to try an antenna for $10, you can buy one at Amazon or Walmart for cheap

Thank you. This is what I was looking for
 
Using a G Box Matricom now. Was coming from a jailbroken Apple TV second gen, tye performance is night and day. The Apple TV constantly crashed when trying to play certain HD content. The G Box handles it like a pro.

I have an antenna that works great when I didn't have cable, but I want to be able to at least watch shows, etc. So which do you suggest I go with? And keep in mind I haven't been an Apple girl in minute.

But this cable bill is getting to be out of hand.

you can do both , antenna for live tv and android box/kodi for on demand tv /movies
 
Will I be able to get shows like Power, etc? And what's a jailbroken stick?

Yea you should be able to in Kodi you can add a ton of video repositories and if you have a decent internet connection you can stream or download movies and shows. I remoted into my brothers tablet computer and installed Kodi and he swears he's in heaven lol

uh what's Kodi?
 
Ok another question....I know I have to buy a stick for each TV, but is Kodi (haven't looked at the video above) a software I add to each firestick or whatever streaming device I use?
 
@cocobeauty try using a Build once you install Kodi on your Firestick. The build will save you time installing repositories and add-ons.
Also, like some one said earlier. The sticks don't need to be jail broken.
And... The add-ons movie databases can auto update so the most recent movies and shows will on there.
Any other questions feel free to ask..
 
When you are in the porn section go to the CATEGORIES section. Then look in " African American", " black", " ebony" etc.
 
I run Plex at my crib... I access it using Tablet, phone, computers from all around the world and of course IN HOUSE on Xbox One, computer, ROKU, etc.. Plex is the shit... If you have a lot of movies (I have about 250), its wonderful.. Your own Netflix. I also have Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc.

My main devices are ROKU and XBox.. They are cool.. Has basic apps, but PLEX is the source of all the magic!

Once I get it. I will probably inbox you and maybe a few others for assistance?
