First released in 2014, Amazon's Fire TV series stands above some of the other Android-based offerings due to Amazon's strong product support and because it contains more 10-foot user interface versions of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and other video service clients, which generally makes it a good pairing with Kodi. |
