As an avid Kodi user (and have been since it was XBMC (XBox Media Centre and only available for hacked XBoxes) Please take a read of this before buying "Fully loaded" kodi boxes.

I'm sure some of you know what you are getting into when you get these and that's 'fine' (by me...) but not everyone does.
remember Kodi is free software, created by a community of people who largely don't get paid for their work (it's open source) but that also means for a project as popular as kodi, there's a nice easy avenue to "fork" the code and insert any amount of dodgyness into it, (not to mention that the fully loaded boxes will come with all plugins known to man installed and ready to go, even the ones of a very very adult nature, which are normally a little harder to install than just selecting from a list and clicking 'enable')

For my mind the only way to run kodi is to be in full control of it. i.e. put it on a known device (be it a windows/linux/mac computer, vanilla android stick/tablet/box or even a raspberry pi (my weapon of choice) and get the installers directly from https://kodi.tv/download/ or through a legit channel (unfortunately amazon and ebay pre-configured boxes don't usually count in this sense)

Now don't let my rant put you off this wonderful piece of software, just forewarned is forearmed...
