Kodi is of course available free of charge, directly through the Google Play Store. Installing Kodi to your Sharp AQUOS television will requiire no technical skills whatsoever, and will likely take less than two minutes from start to finish.

  1. Thanks for the guide. I had successfully installed Kodi but for some reason my Sharp TV remote will not work in Kodi, I have to use a 3rd party app on my phone or a mouse plugged into the USB port. Any ideas?
