Install Kodi on an Amazon Fire Stick

Kodi TV boxes are very popular these days and you can buy fully loaded boxes from ~£25. Our last review was on the Android TV box that we purchased for £25 from China. The problem with those boxes is that they all look exactly the same but are manufactured by a range different people. So they might not all be very reliable. Amazon Fire TV Stick are however very reliable devices that are manufactured and tested by Amazon and/or Amazon’s manufacturing suppliers. At least, that what we are made to believe. We will have to trust Amazon on that! The Fire TV stick has a dual-core processor, 1 GB of memory and 8 GB of storage. The Fire Stick is about £35 but we managed to pick a couple of them for £25 on black friday. In this post, we are going to provide a step by step guide on how to install Kodi on an Amazon Fire Stick.

Amazon Fire TV Stick contents

For £25, we got the Fire TV stick, a remote, charger cable, a usb charging adapter, a HDMI extender cable, a user manual and two AAA batteries.

The Fire TV stick is fairly small compared to Android TV boxes and the remote is way better, responsive and sleek.

Install Kodi

To get started, connect your Fire TV stick to your television and power it on. Follow the on-screen instructions until device setup is complete.
