Is it worth getting a firestick?
Decision tree:
- You have an Amazon Prime subscription?
- And you want to watch shows that are included with Prime on your TV?
- And you don't currently have a way to do this via an app on your TV or STB?
- And you can't (or don't want to) do it by connecting your laptop or phone to your TV?
If the answer to all the above questions is "yes" then buying a Fire Stick might be a reasonable choice.

The decision tree @QrizB has posted is valid but not the only reason for getting a Firestick. I have one, and used to have Prime, but I gave that up recently, but I still use my Firestick for Netflix, iPlayer, ITVX, YouTube, etc. My TV is smart but old and the apps that came with it no longer work so a Firestick is a cheap way to be able to easily stream to it.
Whether you'd buy that particular one would depend on whether your TV has a 4K display, if it doesn't then it's unnecessary and you could save £20 by buying the HD version.

If you're thinking of a "dodgy" Fire stick, you won't get one from that Amazon ad.
Also you might like to note that the Forum rules prohibit discussing this sort of thing.

I agree, but that article is pure clickbait, nobody is getting a "year in jail" for merely watching IPTV.

The man in the pub was saying the other day that he's bought a Firestick 4k select but he couldn't download any "dodgy" apps on it!

The man in the pub is going to have to download his "dodgy" apps elsewhere, Amazon have announced recently that new Firesticks won't allow sideloading.
