It's a streaming device from Amazon that you plug into an HDMI port on your TV to watch movies and such through your wifi.
Amazon hasn't figured out how to stop that?*rippy38 » 27 May 2024, 12:17 pm » wrote: ↑ It's a streaming device from Amazon that you plug into an HDMI port on your TV to watch movies and such through your wifi.
There are hacked versions called jailbreaks on the web that access everything for free Amazon has to offer for free.
I've heard they aren't that hard to hack yourself, but I have never tried.

I have no idea.
I have Amazon too and get a watch a lot of their movies for free but not the new releases.*rippy38 » 27 May 2024, 12:26 pm » wrote: ↑ I have no idea.
My wife has prime for the free shipping, and I'll catch an old movie on the video service from tome to time, but that's about it.
Every once in a while they will have a new release on for free when it first goes to stream, but the new stuff is usually rent or purchase only, which I never do because I'm a cheap bastard.
I used to think it was for turning a regular TV into a Smart TV.Warcok » 27 May 2024, 12:33 pm » wrote: ↑ I have Amazon too and get a watch a lot of their movies for free but not the new releases.
If you're already paying for a Amazon prime subscription what does the unhacked fire stick do?

But it seems there may be more to it than just that.
The hacked stick unlocks all the subscription services for one... and I believe it unlocks live TV as well.Warcok » 27 May 2024, 12:33 pm » wrote: ↑ I have Amazon too and get a watch a lot of their movies for free but not the new releases.

The one time payment is nice verses a monthly bill for all the others.Warcok » 27 May 2024, 12:39 pm » wrote: ↑ I'm going to go ahead and drop 100 bucks on one of the jailbreaks. I have Hulu TV, Amazon prime, Netflix, Apple TV and Peacock.
Be nice to shed some of that ****
Okay. So the "jailbreak" sticks essentially can hack into other streaming services for free?Warcok » 27 May 2024, 12:39 pm » wrote: ↑ I'm going to go ahead and drop 100 bucks on one of the jailbreaks. I have Hulu TV, Amazon prime, Netflix, Apple TV and Peacock.

So Roku is the same thing just different brand?*rippy38 » 27 May 2024, 1:07 pm » wrote: ↑ That's what I understand.
Basically everything on the fire stick menu is free... even live TV.
Yes. Roku and Fire stick are the most popular, but there are others too.
THE FIRESTICK DEVICE, A SMALL RECTANGULAR SHAPED DEVICE, PLUGS INTO AN HDMI JACK IN THE BACK OF YOUR TV. ONE SIDE OF A SMALL Y SHAPED WIRE PLUGS INTO IT AND PROVIDES LOW VOLTAGE POWER FROM A SMALL PLUG IN TRANSFORMER, WHILE THE OTHER SIDE PLUGS IN YOUR MODEM OR ROUTER FOR INTERNET ACCESS. IT CAN BE USED WIRELESSLY BUT PERFORMS BETTER WHEN PLUGGED IN DIRECTLY TO THE MODEM OR ROUTER.
YOU DON'T NEED JAILBREAKS ANYMORE. THAT WAS THE EARLY METHOD FOR DOWNLOADING.*rippy38 » 27 May 2024, 12:17 pm » wrote: ↑ It's a streaming device from Amazon that you plug into an HDMI port on your TV to watch movies and such through your wifi.

IT'S WISE TO USE A DIFFERENT IP ADDRESS TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE FINES.
MUCH MORE BROSumela » 27 May 2024, 12:37 pm » wrote: ↑ I used to think it was for turning a regular TV into a Smart TV.

YES. I RECOMMEND FIRESTICK THOUGH. IT HAS A MUCH LARGER STORAGE CAPACITY FOR APPS.
How 'bout YouTube tv?*rippy38 » 27 May 2024, 1:07 pm » wrote: ↑ That's what I understand.
