Thoughts on fire stick

[mikey432]

Hey guys been looking to get a firestick for a while but the prices that people are asking are outrageous so I figured I would buy one from amazon and set it up myself. I hear a lot of people saying the the 2nd Gen has problems with video acceleration but first gen dosent. Just want to know if that really effects the over all experience and if it's worth getting one. I'm looking to use it for kodi and the iptv stalker addons with Nfps any help is much appreciated.
