    Fire tv stick

    Anyone got a fire Tv stick.I bought 1 and figured out how to side load apps.I have various apps Kodi,Cinemabox etc.All was well,everything worked great.Then when I loaded Cinemabox it went all weird on me.It should load on tv in landscape mode but it changes to portrait then back to landscape which changes the format of the screen and makes all the pictures out of proportion.Has anybody else come across this.
    Cheers

    I've been looking at getting one of these to make my TV "smart". How do they do on HEVC encoded videos?
    I'm torn between this and a chinese android box.

    Why would you want to record when you can watch anything you want when you want Hidden Content

    The box berley has posted the link to is 4K compatible, half the price and can take a usb hard drive to download to if needed.
