Oh I've preached it multiple times on here and will say it again, install The Beast on your Kodi devices. It's the truth. Installs all working add-ons for movies, live TV and stuff. The guy updates it like weekly, it configures your whole device, menus and all.

Does this box let you stream sports in HD quality? If not is there any other device that does? I don't care about tv shows or movies cause I download all of them. I just need a way to stream live sports in good quality without cable.

This box does HD. Goes up to 4K as they say. But it's up to the add-on if the one you're watching streams in HD. That's hit or miss.

I've been using WDTV for years. Sometimes I cast but mostly I have lots of content on a portable HD. I've been noticing the performance is getting kinda wonky in the last few months. Would this Beelink be a good replacement? Or is there something else that's better for my uses?

Don't have one so take my advice with a grain of salt. But it's about price and online support community with all these devices.

You have many using these online and asking questions and seems to be a strong following of users. Plus it's only $35.

Or you can get something like the Nexus box which is a strong company, Google, but made by Asus and has a wide user base. They are anywhere from 50 for a refurb to $80 on Amazon. Or can get the Firestick or Fire TV.

But to me $35 is a no brainer.

U sold me. I was about to order a stupid ass Fire Stick, I'm glad I hesitated. I was mad cause I have so much content on hard drives (20 Gbs), and it wasn't gonna have USB ports. This looks like a much better option, and a cheaper alternative to buying another WDTV Live. Just ordered mine. :yes::dance:

Great shit Database! I'm way behind on all this shit... I cut cable a long time ago and rely on Netflix, Amazon Prime and streaming sites/downloads for my viewing needs (cut down a lot lately).

Is this shit any good for a newb to all this Kodi type stuff? $34.95 seems kind of like a no brainer for something that comes pre-loaded :cool:

Thanks

The Beast runs on Kodi. Doesn't matter the device. Beast is not something that is a piece of software or add-on. It's just the configuration of this guy ChrisB. It's the way he has his set up with add-ons and menus. Think he even posted a video on YouTube on how you can do it on your own, meaning making a similar set up.

So all the add-ons will still update independently. They have nothing to do with the Beast.

Thanks man. The info provided by both you and the other dudes here convinced me to go in on it. I just placed the order.

Hopefully this solves a handful of problems for me. Right now, my main issue is that I don't want my wife touching my PS3. She likes to sit around all day and night marathon watching shit on Netflix, and by the time she's done my PS3 feels like hot lava. My boy gave me an old Sony media player, but I think the version of Netflix that runs on it is non upgrade-able, so she can't find her NF queue and refuses to use it.

Needless to say I'm amped about this working out for me, and seeing what else I can do with it. I've never messed with Kodi before,so I'm hoping to take advantage of that too..

You can install it on your desktop and play with it prior to buying a box. I suggest that to all my friends. It's how I first learned it years back. You can run it on Windows, Mac and Linux. Really no excuse not to be familiar with it prior to getting the box in the mail.

You mess it up, just wipe it out and start over. That's the cool thing about Kodi. It will seem less intimidating to those starting out.
