Yeah, itās dead.
Been using an Amazon Fire TV + XBMC and havenāt looked back. XBMC is overall just objectively better.
Iām an owner of WDTV, Roku, Chromecast, and as of a few weeks ago, also an Amazon Fire Stick. Itās nice and has a nice interface and all. but it just seems like a glorifed Roku to me. The instructions that came with it neglected to tell me how to use it with XBMC. So, will you explain to me and others here how you use the two together for a ābetterā experience? Is XBMC one of the apps that can be installed on the Stick, or is it more involved than that?

Yes ā¦ but you have to āSideload Itā (i donāt have a AFTV, but a quick google search gives instructions)

Thanks Joey, for researching this.Ā After my late night message here, the only thing I searched for was where I had left my eyeglasses (again!) before I went to bed!Ā 
This link is a nice one with suggestions of other apps to sideload.Ā I assume that the new version of XBMC (Kodi) Ā is to beĀ sideloaded and not XBMC.
Iāve never used XBMC, so I hope the OP gives somemore specific info regarding using it with the FIre TV.
BTW, before Xmas, Amazon offered the TV Stick to Prime members for just $19 ā it was a no-brainer decision to snap up the offer.Ā Who knows, they may make the offer again soon.
Hey Mike,
I found this video itās the most easy way to sideload XBMC to the FireTv or Stick.
Hope it helpsā¦
Hi Otter,
Thanks for the link!Ā I checked it out and noticed more Youtube videos popped up as suggestions.Ā So, I may be set to get this going when the time comes ā soon I hope.
Mike
