    Default Amazon Fire Stick

    Does anyone here have one of these devices and use it regularly?

    Amazon has them on sale for their Black Friday sale at 50% off. Was looking for more info on them.

    I have the 4K one and it's my main source for streaming media and I watch a lot of TV lol.

    I use it for Netflix, Crave, Plex, and of course Amazon's streaming content.

    Also, have the Jack Box TV games on there.

    I use a Harmony Hub and Universal remote and the bluetooth picks right up, but the standard remote works super well and has a built in mic if you're super lazy

    Great little stick that I use when I travel also, plug it into the back of a hotel TV and you're good to go.

    It just works, nothing complicated.

    Awesome. Do you have to subscribe/pay to your services or do you get some for free when you plug it in? I assume this is kinda like an Android box but thats an assumption on my part.

    I think you need at least an amazon account, but not 100% certain if you have to have amazon prime.

    I have an amazon account, thats how I was going to order it.

    I am just curious if there is anything free to stream on there or is it all subscription based programming?

    I think but am not positive the CBC Gem has an app for the fire stick. I was thinking of getting one as well and comparing it to my Roku thing.

    I have 3, I like it. It’s like the roku, you have apps and logon in different apps. You can YouTube or internet for free. But streaming services or tv you will need to pay, but it works with most everything.

    CBC and CTV both have streaming services for free. You should be able to watch their shows for free.

    I was just wondering what else is on there that I could get for free, ie NHL hockey games (not Sportsnet/TSN) or even a decent movie channel for decent movies to watch without having to pay a monthly fee.

    Gotcha, thanks. So basically its a smaller version of an Android box.

    Yep, you got it. Amazon basically just took their Fire TV smart tv platform on a plug in stick.
