They are the best bet in the streaming world- You can find apps like 123Movies and live TV on there for free. I'm talking all the channels in the world and all the current movies in the theaters, or on DVD. I use my Roku often, but I use my Amazon/Kodi box more. The best way I can describe is like this... Remember those big satellites people used to have? Well, during the 80s and 90s there were receivers people could buy those descrambled receivers that could open up all the channels on satellite-- Amazon/Kodi devices are exactly like those receivers. haha
