Given this conclusion, I would strongly recommend you never trust any consumer advice that guy gives you. On anything. Ever.Cakedaddy wrote:And ended with "You should just buy an Apple TV".
I had an Apple TV. It was without exception the single slowest and worst piece of computerized hardware I have owned this century. Old flip phones have faster processing than that piece of shit. The hardware specs for the Apple TV aren't so awful, but the OS laid on there is slower and buggier than Windows ME.
Just ... no.

My wife and I were looking for a "new show" to watch. We went through a list, and she picked a few to explore. I then just went to pirate bay and started looking for torrents.
Turns out, of the 6 shows she picked, 4 were already on Amazon Prime. Yay!
We've started watching the X Files (she's never seen it before). Her: "This is like an early 90s period piece" (Hair styles, clothes, limited cell phones, cars, etc).
Damn Gillian and David were young 21 years ago.

As of now, not worth the $100 price tag because it merely doubles up the tech I already have 4 times over. The voice activation is new, but I have never wished I had it.
I paid $30.

Re: Amazon Fire TV
Took the Fire Stick to a hotel for the first time, worked fine. It was a Hilton, though, so their lowest-tier "free" wifi was still good enough. I was able to access the hotels "accept the terms of wifi service" page on the TV and click accept and enter my name and room number and stuff. No problems.
