    Default Smart TV/Now TV/Roku/Fire TV/Chromecast

    Hi. I'm new to the forum and finally thinking about the best (and cheapest) way to get smart tv. As I understand it, they're all much of a muchness but was wondering why All4 and ITV Player weren't available on the fire tv stick... could anyone enlighten me. I'very heard and read that the fire tv is far better than the others but just wondered how these basic catch up services were lacking. Also is there a way to get UKTV player on either device? If I get a solution, I will repost.
    Keep the Faith.

    Welcome to DF, you can side load apps that show all the uk channels plus more.

    Kodi on the fire stick is very good.

    Thank you all for your comments so far, especially EMU.
    I have managed to put Kodi on to the Fire TV Stick but still not sure how to sideload apps such as All4 onto the stick (!) 😉
