2 Amazon Fire boxes and 2 AF sticks. No more cable. Subscribe to Playstation Vue, Nexflix and Amazon Prime. Very satisfied.
Streaming device
I have the Roku 2 ( upgraded faster version of it). Had the original stick and it was pretty choppy, dog are the remote, realized I could replace the unit cheaper than the remote, so I did. Went wired this time and have no regrets, but I wish this had IR sensors so I didn’t have to position it where the remote sees it. I believe the 3 has that. I also have a ROKU TV, 4K, etc in the bedroom which was a $279 special at Best Buy, it works flawlessly and I prefer it to my bigger 5x the cost Samsung.
I have been happy with my Firestick's, but am a Prime member.
Chromecast is cool for casting on the TV from my phone or computer, but I use my firesticks much more
Does any of this stuff allow you to watch golf channel, local baseball team games, any local sports, Fox News, turner movie classics. That’s about all I watch
We have all the cable channels and watch that most of the time. Also use an Amazon Firestick...watch prime movies etc...
Anyone here using Kodi or Exodus with their Firestick?
I just noticed that Apple TV now has Amazon Prime Video on it. We've had one for several years and it works fine, especially if you have other apple products for airplay, etc.....

Kodi is the application , Exodus is one of many video Addons within the application.
We've been usin Kodi for several years now and have it on our Firestick downstairs. We just installed the latest version last weekend.
There is nothing better to get access to movies ( some that are still in theatres) tv shows, live tv etc. And of course its all free.
One thing that has happenec over the past 6 months is greater pressure on some of the site repisitories whic has resulted in them closing or moving or changing name. The result has been a bit more required user maintenance to keep addons up to date , remove obsolete ones , add new ones. Its pretty simple and doesnt take long but more than we used to have to do. If you domt like it you simply delete it from your Fire tv.
If you're using Kodi, install: Cellar Door...it's like getting Kodi for the very first time.
Use a laptop to stream via HDMI.
Look into IPTV variants, and if that's not for you, there's...
YouTube TV
Sling TV
Fubo TV
DirecTV Now
Hulu with Live TV
All the above offer free trials, or did. You can use different emails and keep the free trials going, if that's your thing.
I tried them all...found YouTubeTV to be the best quality and user interface.
For the hockey fans, NHLtv is the greatest creation. It works beautifully via the NHLtv addon on Kodi. Oh, how I wish this tech was available back when I was a kid and North Stars fan.
