    Strange that I can install Kodi addons on my pc but not on the Firestick.

    By the way vpn unlimited works on the Firestick & you can pay for it using phone credit.

    I only just discovered that bar Alexa I can control most aspects of my 4K Firestick using my Samsung (H series) remote.
    Very handy.

    Does it work well with BBC Iplayer? Is the streaming slow?

    Keep an eye on discount websites, I got lifetime 5 devices for 15 euro last year.
    On firestick, does vpn unlimited auto start?

    When using it away from home I installed ovpn android to connect to my home network. This allows me to use my smart DNS.
    I'm in love with this device.

    I am still figuring out Kodi so last night I used the Silk browser to watch the boxing. It worked flawlessly & the picture quality was way better than via my pc & chromecast.

    Wow. I would jump at that but I am paying with phone credit that would be wasted otherwise. Still tempted.

    Can anyone think of a catch ? Just found one "for new users only" Would I get away with using a different email ?

    The main criticism of Unlimited is that they are based in the US so not good if you need to really cover your tracks. But it works with iPlayer

    Not glowing reviews but they do accept Paypal.

    Incase anyone else is having problems downloading Kodi addons from zip files, I solved the problem by updating to Kodi 18.3

    I have no problems with Unlimited. It's whether the offer is genuine.

    Stacksocial have screwed over people on boards in the past, they resold getflix but the terms and conditions were all messed up, basically you couldn’t use it for firestick etc to access Netflix it had to be via a pc

    Yes but others have been fine. It's a gamble but at €35 via paypal, not a huge one.

    The people used PayPal last time and only one or two got refunds
    Stacksocial said tough titty and getflix weren’t the seller so couldn’t get involved.

    Interesting & off putting.

    I have emailed Keep Solid & I will post any reply

    The smart DNS from that offer won't work for US Netflix but installing and using Getflix VPN should work.

    I bought vpnunlimited from stacksocial last year, paid I think 15 yoyos and get the same product as on their website. Support don't seem to differentiate between price paid so suspect their product is that unlike getflix who vary it

    Once it works with the firestick then you’re sorted

    It does...........for now.

    My concern is that I am an existing customer but only via the mobile app & three pay. Hopefully a different email address will be ok

    I’m using the firestick today instead of the nvidia shield and for the money you can’t go wrong it’s a great bit of kit and will be handy for holidays

    I bought one for that reason....but is there a way of using this with an external hard drive - I don’t think I’ll have good enough WiFi so trying to figure out offline options....
