I think i may have to get one, even with freeview we only get 9 channels and on of those is ALBA, but to be fair they have great programmes and helps with the Gaelic

I have one and for £34.99 it's really good. I think you need to be a Prime member to get the most out of it at a cost of £79 a year. I also use Amazon Prime for free music and borrowing books for free so for me it's good value.

We have one and it means you can connect to all the catch-up services on your TV, plus they have more and more programmes which they produce themselves - at the moment we're watching Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton which is as good if not better than almost anything on normal TV. We also watch Netflix through it. We have Amazon Prime so I'm not sure how different it is if you just have the fire stick.

My daughter has one and loves it. To get the most out of it I believe you have to you subscribe to Amazon Prime, £79 per year.
I have just bought DH a Kodie box for Christmas. I first heard of them on here a week or so ago. They sound amazing, it remains to be seen if we can connect/use it easily. Look them up on Amazon, may be your answer.

DD thinks we should get one because DH is constantly moaning about the lack of decent programmes to watch. We just have Freeview at the moment.

We have a fast broadband connection so that won't be a problem.

Anyone else got one of these and is it worth having?
