Unable to successfully install Kodi 16.1 on ATV 1

I don’t usually receive help when asking in these forms, but I’m terribly desperate. I have an ATV 1 and, currently, I am not receiving any working channels. I know my Kodi version is outdated at 14 something, but I’ve always had a hard time updating, so I’ve not attempted. I notice that there is LOTS of information for ATV 2 and above, but very little for ATV 1 for downloading Kodi 16.1. I’ve watch 100s for YouTube videos, but nearly all are either for a PC or ATV 2 and above. I’ve tried to download to a thumb drive, but that was not successful. Is there anywhere where I can purchase Kodi 16.1 on a thumb drive, WITH INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL THE SCRIPTS, REPOSITORIES, ETC[/size], so that I may get this box working by Thanksgiving? I would be more than happy to donate, with help. :
