Setting up KODI on your Fire TV
01. Installing KODI
Updated way of installing KODI - NO Cpu needed - If you have any issues with this, let me know. I'll attempt to walk you through it or find a Youtube link that can better explain.
02. Once you've got it set up, it's time to get your add-ons.
Personally, I use Exodus, Phoenix, , castaway, & Sports Devil as my go to add-ons. To get most of these apps, you need to install the Fusion Repo onto your KODI application.
Installing Fusion
Once you're finished installing Fusion, go to:
Programs -> Add-On Install -> Video Add-ons
Click on the video Add-ons that you want. Exodus, Velocity, Phoenix, Castaway (Sports streaming), and others are on the lists.
03. Exodus Add-on and TRAKT.TV
Exodus is the next big thing for KODI, IMO. The library is building up and it's starting to gain a lot of support.
One thing I enjoy about Exodus is the integration of TRAKT.TV. You can set up a TRAKT acc and from your laptop or computer (possibly your phone?), you can add Movies and TV shows to your watch-list instead of having to search for them on your Fire TV. It also shows a display of most watched streams, indicating that they are likely the most successful ones.

Are there any DVRS that will record Sling as well as Antenna? The one thing I am worried about is losing the ability to record some cable channels. Sling would be enough for me but we record stuff on HGTV etc.

Can't answer that, but I do know that KODI has apps that have streams of older episodes on HGTV.

This is clutch

I encourage everyone to post their set-ups to help everyone out.
I'm going to go into detail on my set-up later on, although its the basic Digital Antenna, Fire TV, KODI set-up with Sling TV

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread since I'm moving into my first house in a few weeks and have just started to look into options for tv
Posted on 2/9/16 at 3:46 pm to VermilionTiger
I think I decided to go with the Nvidia Shield for my Kodi setup. I will post any info I can once I get it set up
Posted on 2/9/16 at 3:47 pm to CP3
Nice, I am interested in that actually
Posted on 2/9/16 at 4:04 pm to VermilionTiger
I don't have this set up right now, but am very interested for a possible move in the next year. I'd really like to have them run Cat6 to every room so I can put an Apple TV/firetv wherever i want.
I'm thinking SlingTV + maybe the sports pack. And then I guess my only other question would be about local channels and how I would connect the antenna to all the cable lines. Put the antenna in the attic and just split it however many ways?

Would probably work. But for Sling TV, you can only have it running on one device at a time, unfortunately.

Once I remembered emulators were a thing, and found them available to Kodi...
I was sold on the Shield

Oh man. That's a big drawback
Posted on 2/9/16 at 4:14 pm to Brettesaurus Rex
Yep.. Glad I let you know before you committed

I'm intrigued by the OTA antenna combined with Tivo and the mini boxes option. I'd only have to worry about coax to the main Tivo box and then get as many minis as I need and only need ethernet for those if I'm understanding correctly.
Anyone have a setup like that?
Although that seems like overkill for the few OTA channels I'd get.

it'll work if you're dropping a new, separate cable into each room just for the antenna. but unfortunately it will not work if you're trying to hook your antenna into the same cable that is already carrying your internet.

this tech bro said he had it figured it out, and i went to radio shack and bought these diplexers and tried for myself. doesn't work with broadband internet, but will work with satellite apparently.

Nope. Once you use your sling credentials to log-in to watchESPN, your SO will be kicked off
You can literally only use your sling credentials one at a time.
