This book walks you through everything you need to know about the Fire TV Stick and Kodi

The Amazon Fire TV Stick is the small, USB-version of a Fire TV. It plugs into just about any TV. Kodi is an add-on available on the Stick that lets you install streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, and more using simple code that’s always included word-for-word in the book. Even if you’ve never used a TV Stick before and are just learning what Kodi is, the easy-to-follow walkthroughs will tell you everything you need to know

Install Hulu, Netflix, and Youtube on your Stick

The most popular streaming services right now are probably Hulu and Netflix. You’ll learn how to install those seamlessly on your Stick through Kodi, so you can access your accounts right on your TV instead of just your computer. Youtube is also a great add-on to have, so the book will tell you how to install that, too.

Listen to music on your Amazon Fire TV Stick

The Amazon Fire TV Stick and Kodi aren’t limited to just TV and movies. You can also install music services like Spotify and Pandora, and also Music Box, which is an extremely popular free music service you get through Kodi.

Kodi lets you turn your TV Stick into a game emulator!

Retro games are all the rage now, and if you’ve ever wanted to play old-school games like Mario and Donkey Kong, but don’t want to try and hunt down old consoles, you can use Kodi to transform your TV Stick into an emulator. That means installing Retroarch. The process is thoroughly explained in the book for both Android and Mac users, and it keeps going right until you’re playing your first game, so you won’t get stuck.

Kodi has the ability to turn into a live-TV service

There are add-ons in Kodi that can let you watch live TV without paying. You can watch sports, live TV, and more, but there is some legal gray area here, so install and watch at your own risk.
