Mobdro is just one app, a build such as Spinz, The Beast or Wookie is an interface just like Mashup was before it got pulled.

The Sports HD channels are the best I've seen.

To be fair, the Firesticks are $hit and are only popular because of the price.

Yes mobdro is just an app and not the best quality but it's good to have in there for back-up

Which addon is it failing?
I presume you have the latest version 15.2
It should auto update addons.
Unplug it and plug back in,start the program and watch it start doing the updates,don't mess with it until they're complete.

There are TV guides on Spinz, I'll post a photo of IPTV this evening...Over 800 live channels including HD although that is a subscription service unless you get lucky and hit a valid mac address when changing the address in settings.

Just off the main topic of these firesticks, the boy in the middle (I know who he is) looks like a plastic action man toy for real.

On the topic, my son has an Amazon firestick with Kodi or Toby....whatever you call it, on it. He says it's quite good.
