A guy in work has bought a firestick off his friend and pays him 80 quid a year and he has access to all this free films and live sports and stuff.
Every year he gets a new password aswell. When he turns it on a logo comes up saying sh hostings and apparently he can control his firestick from his end and sort out any problems.
He needs his account information to give him this stuff but never touches the stick, only when it was originally bought.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around what he does, could anyone explain what hes doing and how hes done it

It's pretty much a jail broken firestick. Lots of people put Kodi on there so they can get free movies and tv shows.

I have no idea if it works like this or not but if he has his account details the guy he pays, if he download stuff from his account onto a firestick will it auto matically download to the guy from your work's firestick also?

So mabey he is paying him for the service of keeping up to date addons and

or mabey and this is what it sounds like to me the guy he pays has provided him with an illegal iptv service which lets you get basically any live channle like sky sports bt sports all ufc fights etc. All that without paying pay per view so if you are a big sports fan you would be saving money yearly.

Again im not to sure tho i just know i have a friend who pays 70 quid a year for the iptv service.

There a certain "Repos" (repos are sources of copyrighted material you can use on Kodi) that are private, that way they don't get taken down and the quality of content stays high. He's probably paying for the access to the repo, and it's probably such a high price because the repo includes live tv or live sports and movies that are still in theaters. There are FREE repos but often time stream quality is awful because so many people are using them, which is why some people opt to pay for a private one.

This is just my best guess.
