Can you get Kodi on the Apple TV?

Noisy, clunky interface and higher electricity usage.

Got this device and it offers great value. Just noticed now it also comes with more ram and internal memory.

Granted it differs because walls etc but a recent reddit post the person said the AC gives him ~70Mbps and another person said if you go Ethernet you get 250Mbps.

Both enough for 4K.
