My mom's work sold Fire TV sticks at a discount because nobody was buying them, and some of the employees including her managed to get one for herself.

We're not getting it until after we get back from our vacation though.

That's cool, hope your family enjoys it.

Thank you, and I hope that they will enjoy it as well.

Are Firesticks better than Roku?

I'm trying to find something that I can stream shows on a standard TV...I don't have a HDTV....

I don't have a Roku myself, but here are some good articles that will explain the differences.

I have a ROKU, but would get a firestick if it weren't an Amazon product.

I've had a Fire stick for almost 2 years and it's stunning how many programs, movies, and apps you can get from it!

I know I can just look this up but anyone know how the Amazon Fire stick gets a signal?? It's not connected by any wires and there's NO antenna and it's attached behind your TV against the wall. Amazing!

We are not getting the Fire TV Stick after all.

Sorry to hear that. Do you have to pay a monthly fee to use one? I've never really took the time to see how they work.

Though we use Roku, I'm sure it's the same. No monthly fee for the device. We do pay for Amazon Prime and Netflix. But there are lots of channels that are free. Most have commercials, like Tubi, but the movies are uncut. Tubi itself has a huge selection of movies, most genres have up to 200 movies to choose from. Also TV series.

I'm not sure if you have to or not.
