At this point and after I wasted so much time trying, I uninstalled kodi app.

I was thinking to get Fire Stick - Just for YouTube and obviously forced to login as per normal user, rather than API .... you know what.


My problem is, I have all HDMI on my TV fully used - I had one spare, but it is now used by my Grandson... long story.

Question;
Is it possible to connect Fire Stick via Gigablue HDMI input and go 'through it' ?
i.e. not obviously using Gigablue Satellite receiver, just using it as a go-through?

That would be great? I suppose, one has to keep Gigablue on as well, unless it has a real go-through.

Thank you Experts

Short answer probably not unless

i) You stick a HDMI switch/splitter between the Firestick and HDMI on the box that can remove the High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

ii) The HDMI on your box may have limited functionality. Maybe only supports mono/stereo audio but not surround encoding etc. On my Xtrend box the HDMI input was usable but limited.
