The Functionality using it as a PVR is a bit unique. Front loaded and done-without needing to root my device. The first thing I did was find a way that I could launch Kodi from the front screen of Amazon TV instead of having to go to Settings/Apps/Manage all installed apps, then scrolling down to launch it.
