The box is the better of the two options in my opinion. I have two of them. I posted a deal about a fortnight ago where Argos were selling the AFTV box for £64 quid with a fiver voucher on a fifty quid spend.

I have just checked the Link I posted a fortnight ago and unfortunately argos have put the price of the AFTV back up to £79.99.
The main benefit for me over the stick is that the box can use external USB drives with the latest round of firmware updates, so you can store your media on a HDD and play it back through KODI or use the HDD for storing downloaded content from KODI etc but thats a area we wont get into here for legal reasons.

Hi,
I got a Fire TV for €49 and a stick for €19 which is really cheap (jealous?:-)). If you want to do more with this toy the Fire TV is the far better option. Faster (I notice the difference), I think more memory, USB and LAN connector. Just for streaming if you have WiFi it is a very good piece of hardware.
ciao

Can a Amazon Fire Stick run Kodi, I want it for my Caravan to use in a Wifi Enabled Area ??
If its not broken don't attempt to fix it, it could get alot worse "
Yes it can, but be aware that Kodi is a sum of it's own devices, the more you ram into it the slower it goes.

IMHO the Amazon fireTV (box) is better than the fireTV stick, but both run Kodi.

Yes the fire tv stick can and does run kodi brilliantly. It is well established and proven hardware not one of these fly by night Chinese garbage outfits that's almost obsolete as soon as you plug it in. You can't go wrong with either the stick or the box (I have both). Just don't make the mistake of cramming it full of crap, keep the install simple and it will work perfectly for what you want.

Hi,
if you want to manage a big music collection you must use the Box and expand the memory because the data base will eat up the flash quite fast.
