Amazon Firestick 0r Roku

castle96

I have sky, with Netflix 'attached'. Two friends state that with Firestick they pick up "everything" without resorting to subscriptions or a dodgy mate to 'put things on it'
This cannot be true anymore can it? I dug out my old firestick (doggy mate from 8 yrs ago/kept buffering...) and can get onto amazon, but nothing free.... Confused.

Which to buy? Are there any freebies (on either) (apart from the 'normal' range of channels)

Several apps available plus the C4 , itv etc 

Pluto TV
Plex
Tubu

You certainly cannot access paid for subscription channels for free without resorting to dodgy methods.

The dodgy Firesticks have certainly got a foothold now - at the weekend, in conversation with neighbours, I found that 3 out of 4 houses had a "dodgy" Firestick - the only one without was the home of a copper !!

pAST EXPERIENCE (7-8 YRS AG0)... THEY KEPT FAILING/NEEDED UPDATING (kODI?) AND BUFFERING. Wonder where I can get one now. I assume people have these to avoid/save on sky

The one I saw in use recently, was obtained for a one off payment "word of mouth" . It had everything as far as I could see - all Sky channels, Discovery, TNT Sports etc

do you have toi keep going back to 'the source!' to keep it working??
