    It's been good to me, haven't had any issues, I do get the "working" every so often but my Internet Speed is at 12mbps. I've had the best experience with 1Channel and Genesis. Phoenix is ok but their links are inconsistent.

    I bought a Android Mini PC HDMI stick, guess the one I got was a lemon since the wifi was terrible, so I returned it. Best Buy is going to have the Fire Sticks for $25 on BF, so probably going to buy another one to setup for another TV.

    download the FireTV controller app from the Play Store, works great with my Nexus 6P and Nexus 10 tablet.

    That's certainly odd. I thought it was my Amazon Fire Stick being the limiting factor. Most other apps work fine, but I don't think Kodi is as snappy as it should be so I was thinking something with more processing power would work more smoothly. I'm on Time Warner with 100Mbps/10up and an Asus N66U, so I doubt my Internet or network is the problem. This is also my second Fire Stick. My first one's wifi died after 3 months, which Fire Sticks are known to have poor antennas apparently.

    Did this last night, and it worked, every step along the way, and the add-on worked exactly right.

    That said, it's clear that this particular outfit is under assault, because many of their 'channels' are down, they say their Paypal is shut off, etc etc, so I am not sure how much use it is going to be.

    I forget which name they used to go under, but I believe it did get shut down. The 2 times I've used it most of the channels were up and working perfectly. I know 2 times isn't a huge sample size, but hopefully they stay up.

    I know this may be a taboo question... but is there an actual WORKING add-on that shows the various NFL games on Sundays? Or even replays after? I looked and looked on Sunday and could not find them.

    I found a good addon that streams sports (PPV MMA/Boxing, NFL ,NBA, etc). It is like ballstreams, so you have to pay a subscription fee. Its called SportsAccess, and they're running a black friday special this weekend, $95/yr.

    Yes, i've been using it for about 2 weeks. They post a daily schedule on their website as well as technical issues. The picture quality is great. I watched the Bears/49ers game yesterday in HD. Pricing options are $6 for one day, $12 for 30 days, or $28.50 for 90 days.

    Sorry I am a newb to all of this, just got a Fire Stick recently for the gf to watch netflix and amazon prime.

    How would I download this to the FS or am I doing something like a mirror of my phone would with Chromecast and just need to download a FS app on my phone?
