Amazon prime - Tile Advice

[Andy Allen]

Anyone got it?
What's it like?
How does it work....is it streamed live to your TV. ...do you need a box of some kind ....or can you only watch it on a laptop.

I have it Andy, it's pretty good, I think.
Buy your subscription on line, but buy a firestick with Kodi on it from eBay.
It'll cost another £15-20 but you'll have hundreds more channels on your tv. But you need to keep Kodi up to date, just by using it, it updates.
You'll have access to movies as they hit the cinema, and in HD.
The firestick plugs in to your HDMI socket on your tv and has its own power supply. That's it, done!
Search for new input on your tv and select firestick, it's that simple.
I download movies on to my phone or iPad so I can watch them if I'm commuting by train.
And to be fair it's all fairly current material, in comparison to other streaming services like Netflix. Plus obviously you also get free delivery on almost everything from Amazon themselves and it's nearly always next day delivery.

Once you have paid the membership currently £59 are all the films and box sets free.?

 

[Andy Allen]

And dose it interfere with any of your current TV devices . ...I have sky hd boxes ..etc.

 

[Old Mod]

Everything that is marked 'Prime'
other stuff you can rent or buy from 99p also they have the latest releases which you could also rent for two days for about £3.50 I think.

 

[Old Mod]

Is it on special offer then for £59? As far as I know it's normally £79.

 

[Old Mod]

No, not at all, it doesn't interfere with anything else it's purely standalone.

It is on special offer....finishes today though
Just looking at the new top gear is on there ....the grand tour.
Mind you it will probably be on 'dave' in 6 months..lol

Snap it up at £59!
£5 a month! Def worth a punt!!

I, personally, wouldn't get a firestick. They're not very powerful and WiFi only is not ideal for streaming. An Android box ( 2g - 16g) is a much better option for not much more money.

Don't completely disagree Paul, however, for £60 and if you use Amazon delivery services it's pretty cheap.

 

[Qwerty]

I wouldn't be without my fire TV stick and prime membership. Depends alot on your Internet speed. I get minimum of 20mbps on fibre optic and it handles everything fine

 

[Flintstone]

Just stick to free view!

We're thinking of getting a new transistor radio to replace our wireless, but I'am concerned the reception might not be as good for The Archers!
