You always get people who spoil a good thing.

Please don't but these.... Buy an android box and learn how to install stuff on it.... It's much cheaper and you'll have a better understanding on how it works.

He means don't buy them fully loaded, it just raises the profile. Build your own.

Jailbreak Jailbreaking is general a term used for breaking a device out of its jail or gaining root access to the operating system

Also the fact Kodi is free and so are the builds so people selling the boxes using it as a selling point are conning people.

I have it on my phone, tablet and 3 Amazon Firesticks.

They are boxes or software on amazon firesticks to watch paytv for free.

Some come loaded with the software to do it. Op is saying buy a cheap one and put the software on yourself.

The £20 for somebody to do it for you is down to personal preference.

I think the op main point is that by selling them preloaded makes it automatically a copyright defeating item. This raises its profile and can be legally stopped. If they sell a box without any software, there's nothing dodgy in that sale. If an individual then puts the software on it, that is up to them.

When peopke tell me they're buying a fully loaded box with a build on i just tell them they'll end up deleting most of it as they'll never use it. Waste of tine. Akways buy a clean box and spend a little time doing it yourself and create your own build that's just right for you

Not everyone has got the time or knowledge required to build their own so the option of buying pre loaded is fully valid and necessary for some.

You can't beat Fabswingers for a good moan hahaha and im not talking about the type of moan you actually came here for

In fairness to the op, his problem with preloaded boxes isn't whether people spend the few quid extra. It's that the sale of preloaded boxes will make the complete banning of the boxes easier. He has tried to clarify further up.
