cheapest device for watching amazon prime

iammumtoone

Looking for the cheapest device to steam prime / iplayer / itv / 4od and 5

I currently watch on a roku (think its the first version) but the box is getting old and I am having to re-set it (turn off and on) every time want to use it.

A new roku is a bit expensive plus I keep reading that you can't get prime on roku (don't understand this, as I do, maybe isn't available on the newer boxes)

Whatever I use must be able to stream prime and the 4 free to view catch up channels (I know ITV isn't available on everything)

One last consideration my internet is slow only about 3mpbs average. I have a smart tv which does have prime but my internet is too slow for it to work I don't have an issue streaming through ruko or now tv (have a now tv box upstairs)

Thank you

Fire TV?

If you're having trouble with internet speeds a wired connection can help.

I looked at that as far as I can see it doesn't get ITV or 4 od.

fire tv is a bit expensive, I will wait to see if that is the only option.

I have considered that but the tv is a long way from the router, the lead would need to go across the living room. It still might be an option as it would be the cheapest way.

you can use powerline adapters instead of running cable across the room,


ill come back to this when I get a chance to see if you can get itv and 4od

buy some homeplugs , then you will get a better signal to the TV


why not order a 5 m or 10 m lead from amazon/ebay (sale or return) and see if having a wired connection solves your TV problems THEN either upgrade to homeplugs or change ISP

unfortunately still no 4OD

I could get a stick and now tv just for 4od but the sockets near the tv are already overloaded. Ideally I just wanted one device for all so just the one plug.

passthru powerline adaptors




you do seem to be a defeatist
