So, how did you find out about them? It's easier to tell you which one i knew about that to list all the ones that I didn't know about. I've had the Firestick app on my phone for a couple of years now. Really love it when I use the search function. Easier to type on my phone that to use the remote for text. All the others I really didn't know. I have to play this again, probably, repeatedly, to find about all of them.

@@CuriosityCafe Thanks for the reply but I am slow on the uptake. How does one use it? What do I need on my end besides this thing to make it work? Do I need an internet connection? Does it only work with Amazon or does it work with all the other entities like HBO, Netflix, Hulu, etc? Think of me as a blind and deaf person and you have to describe any object to me that I have never before experienced. (Let me give you an example: I taught in a very remote area and the children did not have access to electricity or a landline telephone, let alone a mobile phone. The only phone was in the school office. To acclimate my students to the outside world I would have a class on how to use the office phone. Here is where you can not take anything for granted. I had to explain what the handset was for, how to hold it, which end to listen from and which end to speak into. I also had to teach them how to dial.) All this is basic to us but to someone who has never seen or used a phone it can be a perplexing and daunting task.

@CuriosityCafe Жыл бұрын

I would start by watching our firestick beginners video. It's a streaming stick. Plugs into any tv and with the use of wifi or a hotspot brings the internet to your tv. This allows you to stream movies and tv without the use of traditional cable. Plenty of beginner videos. I would start there.
