Their website is showing $600! That's insane. I'd rather buy an Apple TV or Roku for far less.
Situation awareness is defined as a continuous extraction of environmental information, integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events. Simply put, situational awareness mean knowing what is going on around you. |

| Yeah that's ~$500 too high. I have the same system on my phone and a raspberry pi. It's easy to install if you have a couple hrs free. At worst. The box itself is sorta important. Getting Kodi setup with the right repositories is key |

| Isn't that the same as a firestick for TV? I picked one up for something like 69 bucks. Downloaded the downloader , installed Kodi and did a Google search for the most popular installation package for all the apps.

Knows too little
about too much
| I bought a different brand several years ago. Setting up KODI and the repositories was a hot mess. Streams were not reliable. Not worth the trouble was what I finally decided. Good luck. RMD

| I have one of the M8S boxes (media server running Android). I never use it any more, favoring the FireTV for pay media streams, and OpenElec-installed Raspberry Pi for my personal media files. I'd go with the Pi if I could only have one even though the Fire can run Kodi (with some rootish hacks). |

Chip away the stone
| If anyone claims you can buy a box and stream pay stations for free on it, they're talking about in at least moral terms, pirated content. Edit to add: It looks like Stream Daddy has also ripped off their logo. I could be wrong about their boxes and their logo, but it looks fishy to me.   |
