Next….enable/disable parental controls again I click disable cos I find them a pain but it’s up to the individual again. You will then be asked if you want to save passwords to Amazon, I click yes but that’s up to the individual and it doesn’t really matter. Next on the stick you will be asked if you have an account click on yes (after doing the above) then enter your details click to sign in, then click to continue as….(YOUR NAME). I always register a card with Amazon, no money is taken from your account but it makes it easier to obtain some of the free apps later. Next this is where you will need an Amazon account go to and create an account (remembering your details you need to enter them in the stick). The stick will then search for wifi connections, from the list it shows, choose yours enter your wifi key and sign in. Next you will be asked to press the Play/Pause button to start up (Press and hold this button in until it starts) and select language ( ENGLISH UK ). When the stick powers up for the first time, you will be prompted to press the HOME button to pair up the remote with the stick (hold the home button down until it pairs up). Plug in and turn on then select the correct HDMI on your tv.
Next insert power lead into the usb on the plug and plug the other end into the side of the Firestick. Insert batteries into remote, then join the Firestick to the Wifi Ext lead and plug into a free HDMI socket on your tv. What you get in the box are the following:įirestick, Wifi Ext Lead, Mains Plug & Mains Lead, Remote & Batteries.
Unbox and set up Kodi on your FireStick This blog will help you from from understanding whats in the box to installing Kodi and watching your content within minutes.įirst off a little advice I give people about the Firestick is that if you have bought it to load kodi on then just use it for that purpose do not use it for games or downloading movies, after all this thing only has 5GB of memory but will work perfectly well with just the Kodi app on it. Don’t be ripped off! Do it yourself in minutes and start enjoying Kodi. Don’t fall for all this rubbish these sellers tell you about a jailbroken firestick! Its all a load of rubbish.
