Going to take the plunge and get the Android box. Can rte/tg4 be accessed through it ?

Can't remember which add on has it but I've watched RTE1, 2 and TG4. Quality isn't perfect but perfectly watchable.

Do you all just run The black box on an Amazon Fire stick or is there any advantage to getting on of the android boxes?
I just got my broadband speed sorted out, so gonna take the jump into Kodi

Wired connections are normally better.  i.e. cable straight from your box to your router.  You can't do that with a firestick.

However, I still use a firestick and it does the job on a good broadband speed.  30 mbps I'm getting.
Keep 'er lit

im not getting anywhere near that, im getting something like6.5mb now (it wasn't working at all before)
Is that going to be good enough to stream stuff on Kodi?

They say anything over 6 mbps should be enough for streaming, however, if you're on a Firestick you'll inevitably lose some of that over your Wi-Fi.  So I'd recommend a box in this case.

It might be good enough to stream films etc but live sports may buffer on the speed you're getting.

But don't quote me on it!  :-)

Setanta doesn't seem to operate well on it for some reason

Too late for you tonight but download this onto your android device or box. Used to be an addon on Kodi but now a separate app. UKTV Now, has everything on it.

Up The Middle

I wiped the firestick the other night and tried to reinstall the black box, however none of the sources I have tried work. I also downloaded the Ares wizard to get it from there, its not there any more nor is the beast. Anybody any ideas of a different build I could use or a source that works for The black box?
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
