Oh ok, I have 6 tvs, so I am gonna play with both of them and figure out which I like better. The g box is $50 less than the shield and I have to buy 4 more boxes, that's $200 savings if the g box fits my needs.
Cord cutters I need your opinion on the best stream players.

Bump. Im about to cut the cord all I need is high speed internet now.
No data cap here with Comcast, at least not yet. They had a 250GB cap a few years ago, but got rid of it. Looking at my monthly usage, I usually average at least 300GB a month.
Dude, all you need is a basic antenna for local channels.
1 Living room, 2 in basement (man cave), 3 bedrooms. I am trying to get rid of all these cable boxes the monthly rental fees are ridiculous.
I wish. I tried an antenna that was suppose to be good for 60-70 miles. That shit didn't work. I guess I live either too far from the towers or I live in a valley that doesn't give me a good path to the signal.No data cap here with Comcast, at least not yet.

Type in your address on tvfool.com and see how far away you are from the TV towers.
If you're within 25 miles, then you're good. Try another antenna.
You can side load Android specific games. I don't think GTA V is out for Android yet though.
Just got 2 Fire boxes in, what are the best repositories or which are you guys using for for live tv ?
I added DNA Tv from Joe Nobody youtube channel every channel I open comes up with a dialog box with this message.
Server overload due to too much traffic. Please try again
Any suggestions ?

All firesticks can't have Kodi installed on it. I bought one and the serial number on it won't allow Kodi according to the site of how to install it.
Hey there Mouse, how have you been?
And yeah I came across that info too when I was looking into modding my sister's firestick. Luckily for her, hers made the cut....only thing not working is finding a channel with live streams...none of those joints worked for me
Hmm, that's the first I've heard of firesticks that won't load kodi.
I've purchased them via Amazon as recently as last month and was able to load Kodi just fine.
Are you sure you're not confusing rooting and sideloading?

Nah go on the post that has the tutorial on xda of how to put kodi on them. It says serial numbers between whatever and whatever won't work. Different ones. It was the first thing I read when I was going to do it myself. I got mine from best buy.
I just looked at that, I am trying to get rid of cable all together, I get my local channels on direct TV that I can't rid of because of nfl Sunday ticket. My fire bundles were on sale at Amazon for 89 with hdmi cable and HD antenna. I haven't hooked up the antennas yet but if I can get my locals I am getting g rid of direct too and just gonna buy season ticket streaming package.
You got a link to that?
I can't take the chance of it freezing or not being able to get a decent stream. I do alot of betting on football, I don't mind paying for the ticket.
What were you using to add kodi. I buy damn near 5 to 6 a week from best buy and meijer(when they have them in stock) and have never had an issue. Is this a new problem?
Looks like that's only a problem if you're using that es files stuff. Use abdfire and you'll have no problems
I didn't get that far because once I was reading the tutorial and it said that my stick was one that they blocked from being altered I didn't even try.
Yea look a page or so back and i posted a link for that abdfire
This.
abdfire method still works

So I just bought a GBox Q from a colleague. Dude had it less than 6 months. Here is why he sold it to me...
He is about to retire. In his mid to late 60's. He hated having to choose for everything. Seasons, episodes, links. He got tired of it. He didn't like that the "channels" didn't continued to play.
Basically, he is a true couch potato. Someone who wants to flip on the tv, select a channel, then let it play until they fall asleep. As a result, I got a damn near brand new GBox Q for $50.

Bare with me, I have some rookie questions.
Say I buy a Firestick and want to use kodi,
Do I need to always have a computer running or is it once I install kodi on the stick I'm good?

Once it's installed on the stick in terms of streaming online content via add-ons, you're good.
Now, if you're streaming files stored on your computer, then yes, your computer needs to be running to play those files.
