You plug it into your tv and it has a wifi connection. Then you use it to watch shows on Netflix or Hulu (and a few other things). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1919118 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 11:13:40 +0000 blackbird 1919118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get it, what's it do??? You download the streaming shows to the stick that you want to watch, then just plug it into the tv and watch???? </p> <p>Thinking this would be great for maternity leave </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1919103 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 11:07:54 +0000 NCSUchick27 1919103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: We are giving it to DH's parents so it doesn't matter to us if they are logged into our Amazon account, but I would assume that you can change the account somehow. If it doesn't work out then we will return it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1919046 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 10:43:45 +0000 LindsayInNY 1919046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How does this differ from Amazon TV? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1919040 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 10:41:23 +0000 Mamaof2 1919040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NCSUchick27: Can you do that? It says it comes already matched to your amazon account..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1919031 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 10:35:13 +0000 ValentineMommy 1919031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Couldn't beat the price....I blame you guys.

We are keeping one and giving the other as a Christmas gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917812 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 14:43:11 +0000 Mamaof2 1917812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: @dagret: I ordered it - said delivery around 10 December and you have 30 days to return for full refund - worth a try!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917798 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 14:40:17 +0000 dagret 1917798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: same here, it takes forever through our bluray dvr, but our apple tv is much faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917654 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:41:49 +0000 Adira 1917654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I think I read you can take it with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917649 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:39:25 +0000 Mamaof2 1917649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a smart TV but the movies take forever to load - wonder if this will work any better - </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917640 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:35:46 +0000 dagret 1917640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I don't see why not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917629 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:31:18 +0000 Mamaof2 1917629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: @Adira: hmmm.. can you take it with you when you travel? or is it for home use only? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917611 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:25:25 +0000 Adira 1917611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dagret: Oh, that's a good point about being able to use it for a different TV! Maybe I should get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917605 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:24:00 +0000 dagret 1917605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: i know, we have an Apple TV, but for only $19, I'm tempted to buy one in case we install a TV upstairs at some point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917601 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:21:00 +0000 Adira 1917601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just saw this! I don't really NEED it - my bluray allows me to stream Netflix or Amazon Prime, the only two subscriptions I really use, but I'm kind of tempted to get it anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-fire-tv-stick#post-1917595 Mon, 27 Oct 2014 13:19:21 +0000 dagret 1917595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So Amazon's Fire TV stick is launching and it's only $19 for Prime members for two days. Are you thinking about getting one? </p>
