I have prime so it is a nice feature, but the main use is local server stored videos. I can probably use the TV itself for what little Prime we will use. Does that change the answer?

I suppose this is a reason to wait for FIRE TV 3rd Generation.

I will look for the information you suggested.

Kodi is a direct install on Shield too.
I suspect there will be a 4K HDR capable FireTV3 out this year.
How much delay do these boxes have in loading? I am currently using PCs, but they are too large to keep in the room. They will be repurposed in other areas.
Thank you for the replies.
I appreciate the information.
