Products like the shield have much more superior specs to the Firesticks and will allways out perform them, and provides you with infinately more options when it comes to the number of apps you have at your fingertips, and provide a more stable streaming experience. So I guess my point is, keep your stick lean and mean, use it for a basic device for anyone just needing simple streaming, and spend the money to get a high end product like Ugoos and Nvidia Shield if you intend on setting up a whole home entertainment system and want recording or NOX servers etc. I use Defsquid to aid in cleanup and optimizing, ExpressVPN as it’s protocols and server locations provide me with great speeds, and with all of this I still have 2.36 Gb of free space. So basically I have TiViMate with over 100,000 TV channels, Stremio for Movies and series, Silk browser for live sports, and kodi to play around with and learn.

I shut off the power to it and my TV via my power bar with surge protection. Every single night I clear my cache in everything. I use Wolf Launcher to cut down on what I call ' Amazon interference'. I have Kodi but only the basic install with a couple of addons like Mad Titan, Seren, and a cleanup wizard, and I consider it an “extra” unecessary app as it doesn’t provide me with anything I don’t have using other apps like Stremio and Silk Browser, so should I need space I will delete it. I can easily reinstall it temporarily when a new app is added that I want to install on my 4k Max and then uninstall it. For instance, while Troy’s RAI is a valuable tool in my Firestick toolbox I never keep it on my stick after using it for what I need. Second is to remove all unused or not needed apps. Top of my list is absolutely no recording stored on the stick. It depends a lot on what you use your stick for and how.
