Hello folks. I bought Amazon fire stick other day; so far very happy with it. Amazed what I can watch also. I did not “jail break” it either. Way better experience than Roku IMO. Anyone else here have Amazon fire stick, and do you like it?
Have been for years.
It's great. Except YouTube and the increasing commercials although nothing to do with the stick.
I dumped cable and went to the stick.
You can add Roku via the firestick- Prime app as I'm sure you know. On vacation I used a Roku TV and found it very limited.We've used one for several years. We like it; only problem is the second one (a newer model) often loses volume (or the TV does) after it goes to sleep, so it requires a restart. A mild inconvenience; I might try Roku next time just to see how it compares. I do jailbreak my Fire Tablets, but saw no need to do so for the firestick, but its nice to know that it can be done.
I use it with my YouTube Premium account and don't have to deal with commercials.It's great. Except YouTube and the increasing commercials although nothing to do with the stick.
I felt the same way but I never pay as I have found you can find many of the same shows free. Like TCM on YouTube gives you many movies others charge for. Or going to the internet on your firestick can do the same. I actually found many movies on foreign sites for free etc.The fire stick is a good way to add modern computing and capability to older TVs. We have had one for a while.
Watching tv is a waste of time though. And most stuff isn’t free, you need to buy it one way or another.
That premium is expensive for what it is. Not being cheap but I tried several paid services and I got bored with them...lolI use it with my YouTube Premium account and don't have to deal with commercials.
The Fire stick is a great perk of being a prime member.

What's YT premium like $70 a month?
That's all we have for TV. We had 3 roku's stop working in less than a year. Had the fire stick a couple of years now. Also you can't or couldn't buy a replacement remote for a Roku if you lose or break yours
Thanks$13.99 / mo
You can have it active on your phone and the Fire Stick. No ads, it's great.
YouTube TV subscriptions are $72.99/mo. and includes over 100 channels of cable-TV programming similar to Comcast, FiOS, Cox Cable, etc. The YouTube Premium subscription is $13.99/mo. which essentially eliminates commercials from the regular (free) YouTube online content (e.g., music videos, podcasts, etc.).That premium is expensive for what it is.
