UPDATE: I put the order in on Sat, 10/17, got the tracking no. yesterday, and its saying it was delivered TODAY,10/20 (Im at work right now). If so, thats maaad quick. Looks like it shipped from Staten Island, and Im in Queens, but still...thats excellent service..
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.
Thanks again. Ima take the advice here and watch a few youtube instructional vids on the media box + Kodi.
Should I be able to find live ufc events using this thing?
