I've ended up deleting Kodi in place of 2 altered APK's.

Wifey says it's time for a new TV!!!! Going to BestBuy on Cyber Monday or soon after.

Still have no clue what to buy since I've never had these flatscreen monitor type tv's. Perhaps an Android TV. Chromecast?? Something to put the APK's on without getting an Android box.
I boought a Vizio about a year ago. 60". If you go with a Vizio definately get one of the 2 top classes either the P or the M I believe it is. It's worth the extra $100+ depending which you get. I got the M. If you have a Costco that is the place to get one. That free extra year of manufacturers warranty is a good feeling to have. We haven't regretted it once. The colors are vibrant and the M and P have the faster refresh rate. IMO they are amazing. It's like looking out of your window and seeing this, so realistic. I also bought the Vizio soundbar surround and if you get that go the extra mile and get the 45" one. Amazing sound. The TV was a special that was like a Cyber Monday thing. I had to stay up till midnight and be right on the website to order it for 799.95 a savings of $200. They were gone within an hour. 5 HDMI ports and instead of having your smart apps on the TV they are on your remote and you use Chromecast. I don't use them much I have a Roku and a SkyStream android box plus the Chromecast and Dish Network receiver with DVR only for locals. Many were of the opinion that I was stupid paying as much as I did for my Skystream $150 at the time but I have never regretted it. While others are trying to get their boxes to work mine was fine. They keep them updated with the latest addons and system tweaks, usually once a month or whenever things change. I'm still on Kodi 16 but I hav no problems at all watching almost anything I want. CS is the best of any box around. It is in the US which helps a lot. So thats just my opinion and there are many quality TV's out there. There is only 1 SkyStream box aand I don't believe there is anything out there that compares with it. If you don't mind tinkering with your android box there are also many of those out there. For me it was the best option. It's not plug and play but it is as close as you can get with android tv watching. The only other person I know of on here that has one is Kay @oldbroad. I know she is also happy she took my advice and got one. If you get one get it from Elite mods not Amazon and you will get the CS that is so important.

Yes, because of that past thread about streaming boxes, I chose the SkyStreamOne after "googling" all about it.One of the very rare purchases that I ever made that turned out to be awesome!

If I mess it up...which of course i rarely do, being an extremely smart old broad... I just make a phone call to Fl.!
...I have to go now...I have an..umm... important phone call i have to make...

Well I don't know how many follow the FP but I have notice my VG/PG mix smelling. Don't know if you recall my mix smelling like acetone. I use the same bottles to mix somemore and now even though they were washed really well This batch is smelling strongly of acetone. So I mixed the last of the VG I had with some PG in a mason jar and made some more juice and what a difference. The pains in my chest are nearly gone, don't get me wrong I know that there are still a lot wrong with my lungs but this is what has been bothering me the most it seems. So I have to throw a gallon of mix away plus 400ml of juice I made with it. Must be having some sort of reaction with the plastic. So now I need to order some more flavoring of the ones that bother me the least another gallon of VG and some premade juice to get me by till the stuff I make steeps for 21 days. Kind of expensive and wasn't in the budget but will have to make it in it. I think I am going to switch to using 2 or possibly 3 flavors that bother me the least. I want to get a Kayfun Prime but am a little worried about getting a couple from FT. They still aren't available for the real thing. OOS. I maybe selling a bunch of back stock I have of attys, flavorings. I seem to need to change my vaping somewhat.

Wow! Janet and I have had a lot of cats over the years, but surely nothing like your Mom's cats.

@2legsshrt - Yes they are. The KFL Prime has been re-stocked at originvapes as of today. And as of today I have 1 ordered from there and waiting on FT for 2x SXK clones I order a few days ago. The original Prime is a present to myself marking 6 years since I've had a puff on a cigarette.

I still have a few more months, but I am coming up on that hallmark. It took me a few months to say my final goodbye to the stinkies...

There ya go I'm next. Hopefully they won't be gone. I doubt it but I think 1 for me also. Should be here about the same time as my premade juice. You got the extension kit also correct? I have to have that 2ml is just not enough.

I'll make it for a Cyberknife present. Anyone know anyone who has had this procedure done. I guess it is done with radiation, not invasive which is what I have to have apparently. He said I could wait but that I shouldn't wait like 3-6months to have this done and in a case like mine they would do it without a biopsy which he said was too risky for me. Takes 3-5 shots of radiation to remove it. I've heard of the Gammaknife but not this one he said the Gammaknife is only used on the brain.

No, I did not get the extension kit. I specifically wanted a small tank. If I need more capacity I'll just the the KFV5's I already have. With the extension the Prime is basically the same size as a K5, plus the K5's have a bigger deck making it easier for coil/wicking. The Prime has a small deck like the Kayfun V3 mini.

@MikeE3 were there any reviews at FT or has anyone actually got one yet? I wonder what kind of shipping you get with the free shipping option. I can't see having to pay for shipping when spending $135.

I didn't really check the reviews. SXK made a pretty good clone of the K5 so I went with that reputation.

I thought shipping from OriginVapes was free when ordering over $75. Come to think of it, I think I clicked free shipping at checkout. Priority or First Class mail didn't matter to me. They're only about 90 miles away in NY.

Well I looked it up weighing less then 13oz first class over priority. Somehow that doesn't seem right. Maybe they could throw some lead weights in there. Got any coupon codes Mike?

No coupon codes. And even when OriginVapes has a coupon like last week for 15% off they don't allow it for Svoe tanks and parts. I don't know why, but they never discount Svoe items.

Well questions all answered. I'm still thinking about it. It's in my cart but I need to talk to the doc tomorrow. I have a lot of questions
Back to the KF the clones come with the extension I believe I read. One thing I was wondering is Busardo said only open it 1/4 turn to start so they must be a lot touchier then the K5. Yes SXK did make a good clone of the K5 or at least that is what I read. I imagine it is about the size of the Kabuki without the extension. Will PM you.

Good Luck @Kenna I don't see why they wouldn't approve it may be a higher co pay tho, but if that is who you'd feel confident in seeing would be worth it. I'm waiting for Chaudry to call me so he can answer some questions for me. It seems to me that the VA is sort of pushing him at having this nodule removed. He had told them not to give me another CT for at least 6 months but they went on the radiologists recommendation of 3. I just want to find out if it is completely necessary or if waiting will do so much damage, they don't even know if it is cancer. I wish I could've thought of them yesterday but he kind of surprised me with his recommendation was expecting him to say wait for a while.
