You may think that Fire OS already meets most of your media center needs, but there are still reasons to install Kodi on your Fire TV. We're huge fans of Kodi, the media center application that started as a way to turn old Xboxes into media PCs and has since grown to become a multi-platform media solution. But plenty do – and one such app is none other than our old pal Kodi.
Not every Android app works well on the Amazon Fire TV, of course (since the Fire TV doesn't have a touchscreen, many Android apps are useless). Because the Fire TV's OS is based on Android, it's fairly easy to load Android apps onto the Fire TV through a process called “sideloading.” But one of the main reasons to love Fire TV has nothing to do with its “official” apps and capabilities. The Amazon Fire TV is a reliable streaming device, and we gave it fairly high marks in our review.
