Not sure if FireOS 5 changed any of this. And the biggest problem with DNS is finding a service that is not being targeted for blocking by the media provider. I've been meaning to look into running my own DNS option on my Tomato router but that's just a future project for now.

I just got my Amazon Fire TV stick and love it but I am not seeing a way to install the TWC TV app. Can I do this?
There's a thread on this in the Themes & Apps section:

Hi ive just installed xbmc for amazon fire tv. Just wondered if there is away to add apk files inside xbmc. Rather than on sidebar? Also tried adding live tv as it worked well on pc. No success on amazon fire tv yet. Many thanks
I've got IPTV based LIVE TV working on XBMC without a problem, so I'm betting it works.
May i ask how you did it please. Because the way i did it via px wouldnt work on amazon fire tv.
I have Xbmc installed and I want it to see the films I have on my Mac.
I have them both on the same network and I have Xbmc on my Mac running fine, I just want the fire to Play the films on my fire tv stick.
Any help would be great thanks
Your thread will be moved to appropriate section so that the right experts may be of help.

Either turn on upnp sharing from xbmc on your mac or create a network share folder to share your movies and add that as a video source from xbmc on your fire
I've shared the folder and that doesn't show up, so I'll give the other way ago cheers
I tried upnp and it still won't see my mac? Would this be because one is kodi and one is gotham?
I don't assume so. Is it a firewall thing?

I am going to change my old MX tv box, have done some research on google, it seems that the Amazon's tv device and the Roku's tv decice, so I decided to select one from this two brands...I found a top tv boxes review one google, saying that the Amazon Fire TV got over 10,000 apps for the tv box but only 140 channels, and the Roku Ultra got over 3500 channels but not as much as app selections like the fire tv. anyone have experience on the both devices? which one is better?
FIRE TV Definitely because it's pretty much android so you can install apk files and you can get kodi and set it up for free movies!
I agree. You can add kodi and other android apps on fire which you cannot on Roku.
thanks

Beware the fire stick is great but can run a bit slow with Kodi. The fire TV box is better.
