a few things here and there for mama and I on Netflix and Goldbergs on Hulu.

Though I found the Firestick to be painfully slow. We have a mix of Rokus and FireTVs

"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

Just the Prime Video and Netflix.
Tried Hulu for a month and canceled it for duplication and lack of interest/content.

I bought an IP camera viewer app for a few $$$ and most of the time the Fire-Stick is showing me my front yard / street since I can't see it from the living room.

Works awesome for this purpose despite the fact the fire stick is WiFi only.

I'm thinking about another one so I can do the same thing with the bedroom TV.

Other than that, I watch Twilight Zone via Prime Video, and that's it.

The Grand Tour

It sucks that there are so few other shows/movies to watch for free on there. As a Prime member I thought there were more viewing options than there are.

I know of 2 of them, and I've tried both.

First this one I like it and it suits my needs. recommended by me since I use it daily.

I tried Tiny Cam Pro but I never could get it to work with my Hikvision Turret, so I stopped using it. Small investment, so no big deal. Odd, because tinycam is well liked on IPCamTalk and other cam forums. Maybe it's just me, so I don't want to discourage anyone too hard against it.

Sadly, the Blue Iris Fire App only works on tablets, or I would have gone that way.

I found out that the Fire Stick is much better suited for IP camera viewing than the Roku. The Roku lacks some capability, so there aren't any good IP cam viewers for the Roku.

For Prime - Bosch is my favorite. I’ve also enjoyed The Grand Tour, Fortitude, Luck, and the first season of Goliath.

For Netflix - I liked Narcos, Altered Carbon, the Santa Clarita Diet, The Ranch, Bloodline, Mindhunter. We probably still watch Netflix more than the others. I would probably do away with cable tv but my wife and son don’t want to drop it yet - even though they really don’t watch it much.

Hulu - not as much original stuff (I realize some of the above stuff was not original). I like 11-22-63 and Chance was also very good.

MLB TV mainly, followed by Amazon Prime and Netflix movies.

Thanks. The main TVs are Amazon FireTVs so I’ll download the first.
I use BlueIris and do wish they made an app for the TVs. The app is great on my phone and computer.
Though small screens. Would like to pull them up on the TVs for bigger screen size from time to time.

I love my Firestick ($25) and use it for

DirecTVNow ($35 mo)
Prime Videos
Prime Photos
You Tube

It worked well with Netflix, but I cancelled my subscription due to the Obama involvement and decline in interesting new content.

You can also get sports channels and other apps.

To the extent that a Firestick is similar to a Roku, and can access the same stuff, I actually watch Youtube the most:
The Ben Shapiro Show
Dr. Jordan B Peterson's Channel
The Daily Wire
Dave Rubin
Stefan Molyneaux
Joe Rogin
Bicycle racing videos

But, I also watch the standard stuff: Netflix, Amazon Prime. Check out Pluto TV if you can find it.

I recently left Dish Network over pricing and failure to reasonably replace my aging Hopper. I was with them 20 years.

I use an Apple TV and a Fire TV to stream Sling TV, WatchAir (wireless antenna for locals), Hulu, Netflix and CBS All Access. My bill for TV dropped $80 a month.
