I ordered an Amazon fire stick for my living room last week. Will get it this week. It's jail broken.
I am trying to get more for less basically.
Anyone here have one or know much about them. It's second generation with Alexa voice control.
Will I still get regular tv channels? I love my car shows, scyfi like walking dead, history channel stuff like Vikings even Fox channel stuff like Lethal Weapon, Gothom.
Supposedly I'll get free hbo etc. All tga t and save $100 a month.

No. It's not like regular tv. It takes some learning but you can watch a lot of stuff and sometimes live tv. Good luck though, cuz they keep disrupting the servers that stream so mine currently is down and every time I go to switch it they seem to have it disabled. They're one step ahead this time
 
Well that sucks. I'm sick of paying so much for tv. I love my DVR on the cable tv, but there are days that there's nothing on that interests me. I'm not home all that much. But when I'm there it's nice to chill in front of the old plasma screen.
 
It's like a tv with netflix installed..
You have to switch to your firestick.
Unless you have different accounts, they want you to pay for almost everything..

The only two things I use on my firestick is netflix (which we already have an account) and kodi.. oh and youtube.

There have been times where I didn't use regular tv for weeks at a time.
 
I've been enjoying the fire stick. The only downfall so far is if I want to watch the news.
 
Terrarium tv is way better than kodi. For those that don't have it you should get it!!! You won't be disappointed.

I've just got to get my internet signal boosted. My spectrum internet service sucks.
 
I got the 100mbs on my internet service. I run a speed test to check it every now and then and it is consistently at 115mbs. I cancelled cable and kept the internet and saved $110 a month and my firestick gets everything and more than what cable was giving me. It was well worth the $40 for the firestick.
I use terrarium more than anything else I have on my firestick, I have kodi but hardly use it anymore. Terrarium is quickly taking over from kodi.

Thanks

How do I get a fire stick? What do I need, just an internet connection? Settling into my new apartment and trying to keep expenses down. My last experience with basic cable was that most channels were in Spanish. No offense but, "Me no speakay Espagnolo!" And, as a side, "Me no need no stinking badges eeder, Mang!"
 
like already suggested you would use the app Kodi on the firestick.

the majority of the time the stream you get is not even close to HD.

I only use streams of this sort for boxing/mma and I don't feel like waiting for an HD rip the next day.
 
I've still got cable but may cancel. My new month begins on the 24th. The 23rd the new season of walking dead starts. I'm still learning my new fire stick. If I can figure where on Lodi I can watch broadcast tv and news id cancel today. With my old lady out of town and me breaking in my new stripper girlfriend ive been binge watching game of thrones. Never seen it before. But ive really been enjoying it.
 
Just go to best buy and buy a firestick for around $40. They are real easy to modify, you can Google how to install apps on the firestick and it will pull up tutorials with pics and YouTube videos, you can go to any of them and learn how to mod the firestick for free. I would suggest you get terrarium tv, mobdro, and kodi. Terrarium tv is the best for movies and tv series. It is like kodi but 100 times better imo. Mobdro is best for live tv. Kodi would be a last resort if you can't find what you want on the others. It would take you maybe a half hour tops to mod the firestick with everything you want. Then cancel cable and save yourself some money!!! Keep your internet and upgrade to the fastest speed they have, I have 100mbs.

Terrarium tv is way easy to navigate than kodi. It is a lot faster to bring up searches and links. Hardly any broken links at all and it will bring up ones that will play instantly instead of having to buffer. It resolves links faster too so even if it has to resolve links to play the movie it is a ton faster than kodi. Once you try it you will love it and probably never use kodi again! I dint use kodi anymore I use only terrarium tv. You should check it out bro I guarantee you will find it to be far better than kodi.

Thanks

I found the Mobdro to on mine. I get pissed off trying to watch it. It skips, repeats, goes into fast speed then freezes up while sound track still plays then finally catches up. I get upset easily and want to start breaking things. Cable is gone now, bu the way.
Also should I be using the 5g or the other WiFi for best results?

5g is faster but the range is minimal

I had 2g and 5g but I think when I switched to the 100mbs it dropped to only 2g. I run all mine on 2g and its fine. I had them split up between 5g and 2g before and I didn't notice a difference and now they are all 2g and work excellent. My mobdro hasn't given me any problems but I don't watch slot of live tv so terrarium tv is what I am on all the time and it is awesome.

You will love terrarium tv bro. It is slot easier and faster kodi. Heck I have a kodi build with everything and I like terrarium better. You don't have all these sections and different places to go for tv shows and movies like kodi does, you k ow you have exodus and Bob unleashed and like 10 other places like that, terrarium just one place for both movies and tv shows. You can filter years and type of movie and they pop up instantly and they play perfect. Also no waiting till the next day for a show to be up that you missed, I missed survivor last night when it was on and right when it was over it was on terrarium!

Thanks

Yeah, i had to wait two days to catch american horror story and it took forever to load. Mobdro is real time tv but mine does like i said in previous thread and my patiens wesrs thin. My wife, if shes home gets worried.
I did find another live tv source on Lodi, the live tv icon. Watched Gotham on it last night. Only froze up once. I clicked back, hit fox again and it came back.
I think the 5g seems to be a better picture than the other. Much more hi defi. But I'm getting where I don't see as good as I used to.
 
The above terrarium tv app link not working trying [URL="https:I'M AN ASS FUCKED SPAMMER[/URL] for download this app
 
I upload vagina regularly. Its really helped my prostate :sleep2:
 
For the ones who use Teranium TV is there somewhere I can find the UFC pay per views? I could watch them when I used Kodi but can?t find them in Teranium TV? Hopefully I?m just overlooking it.
