    Anyone got one of these? Looking to get a stick for netflix and kodi and this seems like a good option.
    + more ram and cpu than roku stick or chrome cast
    + can side load kodi and make it available on home screen
    + remote included
    - Amazon service centric (- prime not available in Ireland)

    I got 3 in america recently (1 was a present for somebody).
    all three run great, sideloaded kodi on all three adn not had an issue with any, runs quicker than a pi but not as fast as my nuc(obviously). got two joypads for the one in teh sitting room as I've sideloaded some emulators to play adn it's great fun.
    I don't want or need to use any of the amazon services.

    I got one at the weekend in Belfast, and it's great.
    KODI allows you add android apps to the favourites menu,
    so you can go straight to Netflix without leaving the app.

    Amazon don't normally allow you put sideloaded apps onto the Home screen,
    but there's an easy workaround, and sideloading does not require rooting the stick.
