Amazon Fire stick

I finally ordered a Fire stick when they dropped to $24 last week. I recently joined Prime and wanted to watch Mr. Clarkson again. :) I have to say that I am impressed. I've been running a WD Live TV plus for years and recently added a Rpi 3 to take over the Kodi/Mythtv front end. The WD was down to Netflix only and was time to retire. The Fire stick is quick and the audio/video seems good. I like the small remote. I was surprised to see Kodi supported basically out of the box. Had it up and running and connected to my Mythtv server in 10 minutes. Seems to run smooth on wifi. I do notice a tiny bit of interlacing but that is streaming raw mpeg2 HD video from Myth over wifi. Still impressed. I'll try the wired connection sometime. Hopefully Amazon does't ruin it with stupid updates.

Things sure have progressed in the last few years.
