Nope. It can be done.

Desmond Alleyne its faster to program with the new one ive done tons of
them alrdy
Desmond Alleyne asked for same info… set up is identical
Sticking with my box
Nvidia shield is great!
I have the new one and works great with Kodi runs very clean better than
the old one .. only thing can’t resize the screen on your TV . but it worth
it …
You can resize the screen with an APK.
Also from settings can be resized just did it.
newtechevolution Some apks are like for mobile so they don’t do well on
resizing
Ive program 15 already never ask for more info been doing the same way as
the old love the new ones they are great. I like my shield though no
replacing that one
Oh Brother Shield Rocks No questions there 🙂
newtechevolution I’m thinking of upgrading to the 500gb one.
you dont want to use an external HD? USB ?
newtechevolution I can add on to that I didn’t know
Thanks, I just ordered the new fire stick. Hope kodi runs well with it!
It does posting video soon 🙂
Sean David kodi runs very well on it. I have uploaded many new
sticks..everyone loves it.
awesome video had no idea about the new one.
Yes it’s a little faster 🙂
Sticks are good, wish they made them with 2gb ram
yes they should of threw on extra 1gb of ram that be awesome!!
Yo Newtech what do you think about the system created by Cisco that will
automatically Cut-Off Pirate Video Streams???? It pisses me off…….
Whats your opinion on it???
There will be a way around it no worries 🙂 Torrents live on my friend 🙂
Haha i figured!! :)!!!
is there a big difference in the fire stick compared to nvidia shield for
kodi
+Felipe Hernandez yes big time huge price difference too
newtechevolution I know the shields go’s for around 200 so when you run
kodi on the shield is it a lot fast and is the quality better too I’ve been
wanting to buy the shield but been hesitating to buy it because i wasn’t
sure if it was a big difference from the fire stick. Can you give me a idea
on why the shield is a lot better compared to the fire stick
+Felipe Hernandez way better GPU more memory
+Felipe Hernandez much better GPU graphics
Old stick doesn’t compare
just get a q box, the best alternative to an nvidia shield
This will definitely be a must by for me I have the original ;
+Petrello Cabbagestalk yes original is also good 🙂
Glad you mentioned the h.265 (HEVC)
what keyboard would you recommend buying for the new fire stick?
Can the new stick handle 4k movies?
+choochoochooseyou no
New firestick is way better than the old one .. faster processor
D Diddy yes wish it had more ram.
