My nephew reloaded KODI on my firestick about 4 weeks ago with "The Beast - the peoples build".

Used it this morning to watch GoT and Wolf of Wall Street.

Working perfectly!

Thanks. Found it on google and will try it. It has 2 web addresses as well.

I am sure they wont hold back when it comes to Kodi, the courts are just them playacting trying to stop it, the real work will be done undercover.

Who is 'they?'

And what I'd like to know is how do the add on builders make money?

Maybe it's the distance from BT HOMEHUB to the tv and fire stick but the picture is awful. It was ok watching a film from HOMEHUB via wifi to laptop and cable to TV before but this TVs stick 2/3 rooms away from HOMEHUB is cr@p. Can't say whether HOMEHUB being closer helps or not as I could only load tvstreambox successfully.

I've got Virgin Broadband (fibre optic cable into house) with 200+ megs speed download.

My TV is the other side of a previous external double skin wall from the Virgin hub, but the wifi reception on my firestick is brilliant, no buffering and good quality picture with fast response to commands. Virgin Broadband p1sses all over other providers - it's expensive but you get what you pay for!

You should have a minimum of 3MBPS to use kodi

Do you still have the routers internal safegaurd (home protect) whatever it's called, turned off as that helps.

you guys do know that you don't need a box/stick at all and that you can download kodi on your phone/tablet/laptop don't you?

Yes but I don't want my laptop sat next to the TV when I can have a STB or stick, plus having it on a bigger screen compared to other devices mentioned.

where do I find out if I have a minimum of 3MBPS to
use kodi

Did a speed test off a website:


Ping Download Upload
172 ms 45.10 Mb/s 6.25 Mb/s

Using the Amazon TV adaptor thing that takes it a few inches away from the tv has helped. Won't know until a live football match is on but the films are actually watchable atm.
