[Electronics-Talk] Fire stick and Apple TV

[Amanda Lee]

I have Amazon Fire TVs and I can access all that Amazon offers plus a lot of
other apps.  I subscribe to Pluto TV which is free and it offers movies and
other special channels of its own.

Then I subscribe to other apps along with Hulu Plus which provides local TV,
ESPN Plus, Paramount, FX, and quite a few channels that cable TV normally
does.

However, if you already have a TV, and it does not need to be a Smart TV,
you could get an Amazon device and attach it and you would have access to
about the same as if you are using an Amazon tV which you could also attach
an Apple TV to as well if you want.



I cut the cord from Cable TV back in May and I'm not turning back!

Tracy,  You decide, in part based on what you want in terms of programming.
Apple TV has a bunch of programs it offers, and I think they are only
available via Apple TV.

The fire Stick, Roku etc., give you a way to access different program
streams, such as Netflix, Disney, Peacock etc. Also amazon.  There is a lot
of spill over as you can access multiple services with different hardware,
or phone apps, or a computer. It all can be a little confusing!
