I've ordered one impulsively because it was 40% off, I have the one that connects with Alexa but I have no idea what it does 🤣 tell me what you use yours for, I hear on the grapevine they're the best thing ever!

There’s some good Prime shows like New Amsterdam and it has all of Buffy. You can also download apps to stream movies (which is of course not legal and we’d never do a thing like that!) Hmm but I hear the Bee app is good! Wink

Our LG smart TV doesn't connect well to on demand services any more. We use the Fire stick for iPlayer, ITV Player, YouTube etc. Wouldn't be without it.

Fire stick is awesome. The controller is so easy to lose though but you can download an app to control via your phone.

We Have three in the house now! We watch a lot of prime or Netflix in the evenings. Plus iPlayer, itv etc etc. We have two slightly older non smart TV’s upstairs with no freeview or sky connection up there so rather than getting rid and buying a smart Tv to watch things we bought fire sticks.

When our downstairs TV went wrong. We ended up buying a non smart Tv and another firestick.

They’re great. Wouldn’t be without.

And if you misplace the remote you can use an app on your phone to control it!

Use ours every day, we have two!

Jinxed2 · 21/11/2019 17:50

We have one because our TV isn’t smart. So we can watch Netflix etc on it

I didn't find Kodi reliable.

There are various fixes, for example Install real debrid and it so much better.
