Depends which one ;)

The main three I recommend are the fire TV 4k, Nexus media player and the shield TV (only if you're rich though!) :)

Bearing in mind that I've only ever had your traditional sky or BT box, that I'm only really interested in watching sports, movies and BBC/ITV and that I'm nowhere near as IT literate as gurus like you. Which would you recommend?

If you don't want to be put on the spot like that, are there simple pros and cons for the three?

Hey mate,
Yeah you don't really need to be that tech literate to be honest to use Kodi; I will say one thing, you won't get the same reliability from Kodi addons as you will with official cable or satellite TV; I'd recommend trying it on your laptop just to see what you think

To be honest the shield TV is massively overkill if you'll just be watching BBC, ITV and sport; the shield TV is really for what I'd class as a power user

The Nexus media player is fantastic for easy installation, the fire TV is also a great box; it's difficult to pick between the two to be honest bud. A lot of bluemooners here seem to use the fire TV so you might get better support with that box :)
 
I got the Firestick and installed it no problem thanks to Agueroooooo's brilliant idiots' guide. I just got the video running and stop/started as did each step.

Perfect, thanks for the advice. I've tried Kodi on my phone before and a mate has got a firestick with it on, so I've seen it in use, I was just unsure about setting it all up, but your video seems easy enough to follow. I'm binning off BT this summer so think I'll go for an android box now I'm feeling a bit more confident. Thanks again.

You're welcome mate, any problems or issues just post in this thread and myself or somebody else will likely help you :)
 
This has probably been asked before but I can't be arsed checking :-)

Can you record programmes?
 
actually a couple of ways, use es file explorer to set up a record file then point exodus to the record path.....and i'm pretty sure you can set up network drive to (samba..thinks) then just point the record path at that.....i'll have a play after tea...and try to do instructions
