="2legsshrt, post: 18746431, member: 20705" HBO Go is really cool because you can watch anything on HBO when you want.

HBO. Oh, u meen like with the kodi box?
I'll repeat. Anything that has ever been broadcast (WORLDWIDE) can be found on kodi. Including live tv, movies and sports. Again... worldwide. Yes, netflix, hulu, roku, whatever. ALL of it. In fact, if you have every box and prime and everything else... they only (barely) scratch the surface of kodi. And... itz still all free.
Are there some paid apps? Jup. But never found one that had something the free add ons didn't have.

Well the Kodi seems way too techy for me at least trying to read what all it does. It sounds pretty neat but don't know how long it would take me to get the hang of it.

Most excellent! We have done a lot of refinishing and reaphulstry (OMG sp?). Very well done sir!

Lotsa people use their Xbox for Tv

My son does, has for years. But he is a gamer, so he woukd.

It sounds really interesting but my wife would probably kill me while I was trying to find something. IDK I didn't understand half of what it does. What is HIRC.

 

[2legsshrt]

But Gary you are kind of a computer geek, I bet you can make it cook dinner for you.

 

[2legsshrt]

Like what does this say it does.

I mean is this a standalone device or do you have to use it with your computer or do you have to have a smart tv or what. I was thinking of DLing the app and trying to figure it out.

 

[2legsshrt]

I had no idea this kind of thing was even around, thanks Gary. I've got a smart tv in my vape room and a spare computer, kind of a slow one but it works.

Teenagers sure can talk! My 16 1/2 year old grandson talked to me from six o'clock until after midnight with only about 30 minutes or an hour off during that time. About 6 hours straight of talking. I wish I had the energy to talk that much.

Time for bed.

Been using Kodi on my tablet since about the second time Gary mentioned it. Thanks Gary. It's great! We only have internet, no cable, Amazon, or any other "TV". BUT, I got my daughter this Kodi box for her birthday in a couple of weeks. Beelink MINI MXIII II TV Box Amlogic S905X Quad Core. And this double sided wireless mouse/keyboard. TK668 2.4GHz Wireless Air Mouse. I know, Gearbest..... But, It looks to be a good deal, and I did do a lot of "homework" before buying, within my budget. Got them in about two weeks (paid a little extra for faster shipping). Haven't hooked it up yet, and I'm really excited. I hope she likes it, and I'll let you all know how it works.

Wow. Sorry, didn't mean to write a novel.

[idahohermit]

Yeah, the one I got has a US plug, its one of the options. But I do have adapters for other things.

I think the firestick is going to be limiting. On the other hand I think you can install kodi on it.
Here's a guy who has walkthru's on what to and how to install things.
Top Tutorials
There's a ton but for starters, find exodus for kodi. That's "one" of the best ones.

 

[garyoa1]

This one's cheep enuff and works well for a kodi box.

And FWIW, they take a SD card so u may want to get a cheapo to slam into it.

2x iPhones, 3 x iPads(different vintages), 1 ancient Macbook pro, 1 newish imac, 1x time machine, 1x apple TV. Of that 1 iPad and 1 iPhone are mine the rest is all the hubby. I run Windows...it guarantees he will never touch my machine.

The way he has the whole apple TV and home theater run through his imac I never watch anything that is more than turn on the TV and change the cable channel any more. I have ZERO clue how to watch anything on the apple tv or play a DVD anymore. Trust me I love him dearly but that man can make anything complicated even apple gear.

Seriously though Mike if you guys run into trouble with your mac stuff talk to my other half. He does know his stuff. He does a weekly mac podcast and if he doesn't know an answer he knows where to find it.

Bookmarked your post ... you just could hear from me sometime. How do I get his podcasts?

Photoshop? CC is both. I won't go to CC since I think itz a ripoff, but I digress.

What's CC?

 

[garyoa1]

What's CC?

Photoshop "Creative Cloud". Used to be you could buy photoshop. No more. Now you have to rent it.

These are the recipes that I unearthed for what claims to be Sour Green Apple Jolly Rancher. I haven't tried any of them, so if you do, let me know! Unfortunately the creator's names weren't included

#1
Apple Candy (TPA) 10%
Sour (TPA) 5%
Sweetener (Sucralose) (TPA) 5%

#2
Jolly ranchers = fw hard candy 5-8% depending on taste. Then just add whatever fruit you want. 3-4% tfa green apple for example. Lorann tart n sour, or tfa sour might work, get some malic acid, or 1% tfa sea buckthorn for a nice puckering effect.

#3
Green Apple (TPA) 8%
Jolly Rancher (TPA) 6%
MTS Vape Wizard (FA) 1%
Sour (TPA) 1%

#4
Apple Sour
PA Apple Green 14%
Ethyl Maltol 6%
Bitter Wizard 2%

#5
TFA Green Apple 19%
FW Jolly Rancher 4%

I'm thinking I'm going to try #3, but I'm going to replace the green apple with Granny Smith Apple (Tart Green Apple) TFA and not use the Sour for now. Hope this helps some!
