So we took the step towards perhaps disconnecting from cable provider again....we already utilize Netflix for probably 35-50% of our viewing and now with Amazon Fire TV + Prime Membership we are gonna see if we could cut more of our cable bill even more. Anyone else have the Fire TV? Thoughts? For a factory refurbished one with the exact same warranty being a mere $79 I couldn't wonder anymore and got one on it's way to us.
Does the Amazon Fire have HBOGo yet? I know it didn't when it was first released. The only streaming device that consistently has all the apps for everything is the Roku, which is why I went with it. No complaints so far.
The stick offered by them doesn't until this Spring I guess...my understanding is the box which we got does now have it. I weighed hard between the Roku and Fire...went with Fire because I think Amazon long term has the funds to purchase agreements with more and more programming/channels.
We got the Fire Stick for my daughter's TV for Christmas. I can't tell you too much about it now, but when I set it up for her then I was really impressed with it, and got the feeling that we were only scratching the surface of what it could do. It basically turned her "regular" TV into a "smart" TV, similar to the new one that we have in the family room. V
Good deal...I'm hoping between it and Netflix to basically eliminate our cable bill....we already did away with the package that had ESPN so honestly I wouldn't miss any of the channels now that we have more than that one....probably spend slightly less time watching TV which is a good thing. Our household basically hops from TV show to TV show series and the combo seems like it'd be the answer.
Its got a bunch of apps on it, I think Netflix is one. I know Hula nd Crackle are on there. She watches most through Prime Video though. V
