After reading and pondering, I've just splashed £35 for a Fire Stick. I'll let you know how that works out.

I have two now TV passes that I don't want. They are for either a week of sky sports or a month of sky cinema, you just have to choose which.
Send me a PM if you want one and which one you want.

I use NowTV box with a connection to a Plex server which gets me all Sky channels and more including Bein Sports, Astro sports and loads more(great for Sat 3pm KOs not covered by UK channels due to blackout!!).....rather like Kodi but a lot more stable imo.

Also gets access to 1000s of MOvies and TV Box Sets.

Am also able to source these if anyone interested but obv not going into dets here so PM me if need further info!
