You shouldn't have any problems using the "firestick" in Spain. I use the Android tv box with Kodi.

Re: Amazon Fire Stick.
I've have the same. Well satisfied with it. Forgive my ignorance, but is there any benefit in having a fire stick as well? The kodi was driving me up the wall.

Take a look at the Roku stream stick too. You can get the Amazon prime app, Netflix, Sky and a literal ton of other apps, and you can control it via your iPhone/Android.

Re: Amazon Fire Stick.
What was the problems you found with Kodi, TV or films? I use kodi for both in Spain without any problems. I also use nowtv for mainstream UK TV no issues although that requires VPN.

All to often I could not get past the kodi home screen, very frustrating. Also I found that unless you knew what you were looking specifically, it was a thankless task. I did speak to the supplier who played with it. No further forward. Now have the mag 254 box. More expensive but it works with an on screen schedule.

I suppose it really comes down to what you get used to.

Bit surprised that this discussion about how to illegally access films is allowed on here.

Re: Amazon Fire Stick.
But with the Firestick you could legally access Amazon content, but I am guessing that's not what you want to do either.
