All I use anymore. No need for satellite TV if you have a Firestick, Netflix subscription and a decent Kodi build installed.

Kodi is a programme you can install on fire sticks, android TV boxes, or your PC. Get the right addons and you can watch TV shows, pirate films and every football match even those not shown on sky or BT. A bit like netflix but free and much better

Regarding the Kodi box, you might want to follow the attached BBC (the broadcaster that is) link.

UK Turks have some sky channels but best to go for a subscription addon like ruya or ultimate mania, cost about £100 per year

If you have a Firestick with Kodi installed Amazon will use that as a way to wriggle out of the warranty.

Be warned.

We now have an android box where the warranty explicitly states that it is warranted no matter what you install.

We have something called a nivida shield box and just installed kodi on it from the app store then followed video instructions from you tube to add a build. You need never pay for sky, dvd's or cinema again.

I wouldn't. Most channels while good aren't up to proper broadcast quality so for most viewing I still use my sky, just for things on pay I use kodi/mobdro

Closer than you think


"Thinking of getting one but I've heard mixed reviews what's people's thoughts..."

I would go for the fire tv box rather than the stick, more memory and you can link a wireless keyboard as navigating Kodi can be a pain
