re: Alternative to Amazon TV?

kids don't need kodi.
my kid that will turn 4 can operate the Roku without any help.

I took youtube off of it so he'd quit watching creepy videos of adults dressed as superheros doing weird shite, or kids making videos that have idiots for parents allowing them to act like inappropriate idiots. Really wish youtube would allow me to block certain things.

anyways, you can download apps of toy reviews and other retarded videos that kids love for some reason, and know they aren't going to see a video that isn't appropriate for them.

On top of that you have every app there is like PBS, DisneyJr, NickJr, Boomerang, etc. And it's 10 times easier to work with than the firetv.
