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.

Amazon hasn't figured out how to stop that?

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 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?

I used to think it was for turning a regular TV into a Smart TV.  
But it seems there may be more to it than just that.

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 ****

The hacked stick unlocks all the subscription services for one... and I believe it unlocks live TV as well.

Those are all pay per services, even with a paid prime membership.

The stick itself is just a device that allows your non "smart" TV to catch the wifi signal, allowing you to use prime video on a conventional television instead of just your phone, tablet or other device.

It's the same thing as a Roku 

Here is the instructions on how to jailbreak the fire stick yourself.

I've just never fooled with it.

The one time payment is nice verses a monthly bill for all the others.

We have a couple of older fire sticks floating around here. I may get a wild hair up my *** and try to jailbreak one just for **** and giggles. Lol

Okay.  So the "jailbreak" sticks essentially can hack into other streaming services for free? :blink:

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.

I think a Roku can be hacked like a fire stick too, but it's more involved. I think Amazon leaves it simple so they can sell more devices. Lol

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.
ONCE SETUP, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD MANY DIFFERENT APPS FROM THE INTERNET TO PROVIDE, MOVIES, TV SHOWS, LIVE NEWS AND MUCH MORE. I DOWNLOADED AN APP CALLED BEETV WHICH GIVES ME ACCESS TO THE LATEST MOVIES AND MORE. I WATCHED CIVIL WAR 2024 ON BEETV

YOU DON'T NEED JAILBREAKS ANYMORE. THAT WAS THE EARLY METHOD FOR DOWNLOADING. 
THE NEW DOWNLOADING APP DOES IT ALL.

IT'S WISE TO USE A DIFFERENT IP ADDRESS TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE FINES. 
I HAVEN'T ENCOUNTERED ANY WITHOUT A DIFFERENT ADDRESS

YES. I RECOMMEND FIRESTICK THOUGH. IT HAS A MUCH LARGER STORAGE CAPACITY FOR APPS.
YOU CAN GO ONE BETTER AND GET THE FIRESTICK CUBE. COST A LITTLE MORE BUT HAS AN ENORMOUS STORAGE CAPACITY
