    Mine was until I did the latest Apple software update. Might be that that caused it but if you go to the link http://homecinema.mobi/ it now only offers Android download

    Maybe I haven't updated mine, it's stopped on my daughters iphone

    Or just get Xbox/kodi and you can watch stacks of these kind of things plus all the live sports including 3pm Saturday matches.

    Apparently the new Amazon fire stick does the job and is only £35

    I brought an Amazon fire stick a couple of weeks back for £35 which you can add xbmc to so you can watch all the live sport and pretty much any movie in HD for free. Works great and I've noticed today that Argos and Amazon have reduced them to £25.

    What does it do ?
  • bucksheebuckshee
    It plugs into the hdmi on your tv and once you add xbmc to it (loads of clips on YouTube showing you how , dead easy) then you can watch hundreds and hundreds of movies for free plus all the UK sports channels and stacks of foreign ones.

    Anyone know of a cheap tablet that would run that?

    Nothing fancy would just want it for films etc to keep the kids happy in the car.

    Hundreds of old movies or new movies - I have an Amazon Prime account so is this different ?

    @buckshee can you paste a link of the best one to buy. I looked on Amazon what is the £79 a year subscription. Also is it literally plug the thing into the tele and I will have access to every sports and movies channel there is. Sorry pretty stupid when it comes to things like this. Cheers

    Just Google Amazon Fire Stick mate, first result I think, £25.

    Stupid question - I already have a smart TV with Netflix/iPlayer/Amazon Prime etc. So is the only advantage of buying an Amazon Fire Stick that I can install xbmc?

    Assume you can't install xbmc direct on to a smart tv?
  • bucksheebuckshee
    If you install xbmc you don't pay for the stacks of films on sport and TV series on there. Everything from old stuff to the very latest Releases.
  • bucksheebuckshee
    You can buy the fire stick "fully loaded" on eBay with everything already set up ready to go but they ain't that difficult to do. I'm hardly a computer genius but I did mine in about an hour from scratch.

    I just went on YouTube to see how easy it would be and had to check several times if the man was speaking the same language as me.

    Isn't it called Kodi now?

    I have no idea how it works btw, can some explain.

    Does XBMC/Kodi work by searching for all streams/films/torrents on any website
    or
    are do the 'faux-owners-uploaders / servers' that hold this data set up to present themselves to be found by Kodi.... whilst others aren't?
  • North Lower NeilNorth Lower Neil
    Anyone more tech-minded than me know if you can get someone else to add XBMC/Kodi to your Fire by giving them your IP address from the Fire stick?

    Trying to follow the instructions but my laptop is too slow downloading the android app and Kodi!

    No , the laptop pushing the kodi software has to be on the same IP address as the fire stick I'm afraid
