Hey all, Cyber Monday is coming up. Amazon, for Black Friday, has their Fire Stick for $25.
They are 'suggesting' there may be a better deal on Monday.
I was thinking about getting it.. I am an Amazon Prime member. Yes, I did splurge and get the Echo for my Christmas gift to myself. It was $79.. My friend who has one, and paid $150 for it, absolutely loves it ~~~ in fact she took advantage of the discount of the 'Dot" at $30, to give as gifts to her family and friends. Dot is a small version of Echo (Alexia), but it really needs an additional speaker to produce good sound.
I bought the Echo, because I love to listen to music. I miss Pandora and Tune-in Radio.. I have a ton of stations, and even radio stations that come in very 'tinny' on my old iPhone. Also, I never buy anything for myself..
Hijacked my own thread!! OMGosh!!
As far as the Fire Stick: I have an older model Smart TV, Samsung, about 7 years old.
I am thinking of using the Fire Stick and my Amazon Prime membership, and possibly cutting back on some cable channels.
Questions:
1) is it easy to set up... I used to be much more knowledgable about these things, but technology has passed me by, the past several years.
2) is it worth it?
I do record a lot of programs on the DVR, from Comcast. I watch a lot of them this time of the year, and when there are reruns, especially during the summer.
I do not want to pay any extra money to Comcast!! Enough is Enough.. tired of them..keeping it for internet service and basic cable, plus a bit of other stations.,
Just wondering, because at $20++ ; it seems like a bargain...and if it decreases on Monday, well that will be even better...
I know Winchester had a lot of good things to say about it, last year... Yes, I have been thinking about it since then.... I am not a fast mover on some things.. others, I am very impulsive....
but I have really not purchased anything for myself this year...and sometimes it is good to keep current with technology...
sigh... I sound so crazed... just put me in the poor house...as long as Artie is ok, then that is ok with me....
