Anyone use the Amazon Fire Stick? We're thinking about dropping the cable once we move into our retirement home next month. We use a PS3 for Netflix and Amazon Prime on our living room TV. Was thinking about getting a Fire Stick for the bedroom (that sounds naughtier than it should

We have FireTV. I use the phone app for it from time to time, which is the only way to use the stick I believe. I find the phone app good but a little sensitive for moving around the GUI. I'd give the nod to the firetv because you get a remote.

I ended up getting the Sling for the wife as I watch only Netflix and MLB.tv. Came with a free Roku stick. Good to go, not paying close to $100 a month for Directv stuff I never watch!

I looked at the Amazon site and the Stick comes with a remote now.

One step closer to cutting the cord. Got my new HDTV antenna in and connected. Problem I'm having now is getting my tv remote to do the audio lock. I run all my sound they my a/v receiver. It won't lock in, so in order to change the volume, I need to switch back/forth between tv and audio. So, what's a good remote I can use to replace all my remotes?

Ha, no just that the Internet is going to be $90 a month + Netflix $8 then was thinking of adding Sling TV which is $20 a month & HBO Now another $15 a month, but can cancel at anytime, so after Game Of Thrones it's gone.
Just didn't seem like I was getting a break really. **update* wife just text me and said she got them down to $60 a month for the internet, so def getting Sling TV with HBO now ![]()

Yea, that's my fear too Mickey. Once you start subscribing to all the different streaming systems, you end up near or at what you had with cable.
I just signed up for HBO Now yesterday. That along with my Fire TV and my new HDTV antenna, has me at the point of cutting the cord. Problem is getting good sound out of my TV when OTA, through my receiver. I have an older TV with only Digital Audio out.

ANyone here do Sling TV? We just started it and it's pretty cool. We have Netflix, an antenna, amazon prime and now Sling TV.
We paid for 3 months upfront for sling tv and they sent us a Roku. We get 12 tv channels for only $20/month. it has espn, espn 2, food network, history channel, history 2, travel channel, disney, and a few others. the cool thing with the sling tv is that on some of the channels you can go back as far as 4 days and watch tv shows you missed. My wife and I love it.

How's that hdtv antenna working for you, Bob? How far are you from the transmission towers? Everything I've been looking at says most are good in the 35-40 mile range and I'm probably closer to 50.
