Best budget box is amazon firestick but if youre willing to add ?50 to your budget the nvidia android console 16gb is the best android device out atm (theres also a 500gb version for ?200)

There is a rumour that Amazon are going to block Kodi on the Fire TV.

They already tried that's why you sideload it then launch a different way as no shortcut on homescreen

I would up the budget a little and get a base Intel NUC unit add RAM and an M2 sata drive and you will have one wicked fast Kodi machine that can play anything thrown at it including 4K UHD material.

I have not seen yet any of the so called 'Addons' supply me with any full 1080p content they may label it as that but it aint, and as for Audio 2 channel stereo on 99% of the movies but some TV series do have DD 5.1

You wont find anything with HD audio unless your streaming your own downloaded content
