“Firstly, kudos to the help folks and their patience when frustration was getting the better of me.
This is a very low cost way of having a tiny media centre right next to the tv. The Kodi software is straightforward to load and use.
Just a word of caution, which led to the frustration. Not all USB wifi connectors will work with the Kodi/Openelec, even ones which work with Raspbian. The help line pointed me at this one which did work for me:

But maybe check with the PiHut folks to ensure it still works with the Pi3.
Otherwise simple to put together and easy to set up.”
“Frequently Syncs with the Pi 2 and during that time, you can't type or use the pad. Frustrating when you look up on the screen and assume to see a load of coherent text but see nothing but gobbledy gook!”
“Bought this to use with a Pi running the new official 7" screen. Perfect match. Good quality product, works straight out of the box.
PS - the cat loves the laser pointer light.”
