I am getting ready to dump cable. What is needed to make Amazon TV work? I see Amazon sells numerous systems. Which is best?
I use a Roku. My daughter has an Amazon Firestick. Either one will allow you to stream Amazon, Netflix and Hulu (along with other channels), and you can pick up either one for about $40.
You also MUST have broadband internet service (either WiFi or you need to be able to run a cable from your TV to your router). I am in a rural area and have fairly crappy broadband (under 3Mbs) but it is sufficient for streaming to one TV at a time. My daughter has much better broadband in her city and she and her roommate can stream two different channels while also using the interweb on their PCs.
“What is needed to make Amazon TV work?”
Internet connection. You use the FireStick which uses WiFi, or you can use the FireTV which uses either WiFi or wired cable. Both work great. Highly recommend them.
The Amaon Fire system comes with some content, but Netflix is highly recommended at about $9/month. Many other channels are also available. We subscribe to KlowdTV For $7/month which gives us OAN conservative news. (good stuff!)
You can get Hulu and a number of pay channels, but you will spend far less than you ever did for cable and get 10 times the content. Many shows are available through these pay channels that are not on cable.
