Hi! I'm new here, and a total ignorant about this stuff. I would like to buy a device that runs Kodi so I can have a multilingual TV, viewing channels all over the world. That's always been my dream. So, live TV is my main goal here, although other stuff would be nice too (streaming movies, etc). I live in Spain (the Internet connection is not great), and the TV has no access to an Ethernet cable (between the router and the TV room there's the kitchen), so I have to use Wi-Fi. So, HD would be nice but I understand maybe it's not possible (that's OK).
My questions now: I'd like to know why the main post says "Do not get a FireTV if you care about LiveTv". What attracts me about the Fire TV is that putting Kodi on it seems very easy, without weird difficult hacking. Also, is it really worth it to get the Fire TV box instead of the stick? The Chromebox seems too expensive to me, and there's too much "hacking" needed (it looks difficult), and the Raspberry Pi 2 seems nice and cheap but you have to buy a lot of accessories with it...
So, I'm quite lost, I've been googling and youtubing for days about this. Fire TV looks the easiest one of the three, but I'm worried about the "Do not get a FireTV if you care about LiveTv". If I could buy a Chromebox that had already Kodi preinstalled I'd totally buy it!
Or do you have any other devices in mind?
Thanks!
