Xmas pressie

[autieok]

My oh and I always say what we want for Xmas. This year I said I wanted a smart TV for the kitchen to watch Netflix/prime while doing jobs. I said if it was too expensive or too difficult not to worry and I'd think of something else as my oh is not very good at diy and basically I didn't want it if it wasn't going to work properly or cost too much money. He got the tv, he put it up today and it's a free view tv but doesn't do apps. So I can watch basic cable but not Netflix etc. i haven't said anything as don't want to be ungrateful but it's not what I ask for AIBU?

You can get a Roku stick and plug it in, so you get your apps that way. They aren’t expensive. I’d probably do that

I was just about to say the same, get a fires stick or Roku. They are relatively inexpensive, £25 or less.

Or a firestick especially if you wanted prime as one of the apps? They are £15 on Amazon in the sale at the moment.

If you want it for prime video I'd get a fire TV stick. I think they're on offer at the moment.

Plugs into the USB socket in the back of your TV and wifis to your internet.

Brilliant.

You can get the Prime app on Roku as well.
