    Amazon Fire-Stick or Roku available locally ?

    I am looking for a Amazon Fire-Stick or Roku - I want to build a Kodi box ... is this HW available here in HK.

    I had a walk around one of the Computer Centers last weekend, but could not see anything available.

    Many thanks

    Bob

    I don't know about these two, but I recently bought the latest raspberry pi on Aliexpress and installed osmc on it. Watching movies and series through Kodi all the time.

    I saw these for sale downstairs in the Golden Arcade, Sham Shui Po several months ago.

    Kodi on RPi is dead simple, but there are limitations- off memory might not be able to support 4K output. And you need to source a remote.

    There's other hardware that is easily available and works with Kodi, like the tiny Minix boxes that are scattered around the computer centres.

    You don't need a remote with Kodi/raspberry pi/osmc - you can use your phone, which is what I do. Yatse.

    and just as followup for anyone looking:

    Golden Computer in Sheung Wan (1-3 Wing Lok) $700
    HKTVmall $580
    Citilink Electronics $500

    I talked Golden down to $600 as it was Sunday and HKTV and Citilink was closed and I didn't want to wait.
