Amazon FireStick is a very popular streaming device. This device is very simple, but full of features, it is a low-cost solution to convert any normal TV with an HDMI socket into a smart TV. FireStick lets you stream content from a variety of online media and entertainment services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and various TV networks.
It’s wonderful. But it has a big disadvantage. You have to pay to be able to watch the content through these entertainment services. That’s why we jailbreak the Fire Stick, The jailbreak allows you to download and use third-party streaming apps that give you free access to all your movies, programs, live TV channels, sports and more.

As I said earlier, Kodi does not host any content on its own. You will need to get the content from the outside. One way is to play the media files saved in the local memory. However, this is not where the true value of Kodi lies. The biggest advantage of Kodi is that it opens the door to the vast world of free content on the Internet.
