Amazon Fire TV Stick Deal

[ajprice]

I've been watching Prime and Netflix on the Fire TV stick, and I only found out lastnight that I can cast from Android to the stick. I've had a Chromecast for a while before I got the TV stick, does the Fire TV casting do everything that the Chromecast does?

Down to £25 on Amazon at the moment, I think I'll get another one for use between kitchen and upstairs.

I put Kodi on mine and it runs it really well.

About a month in now and I'm delighted with the Fire Stick.

Only gap in the armour for me is the lack of a 4OD / All4 app.

Back to £25...

Heads up everyone - only £24.99 today (£10 off) - cheapest it has ever been I believe.

Edit: Oops - just noticed the above poster beat me to it!

Is the Fire Stick better than a Roku Stick?

CPU cores, RAM and storage all favour Fire TV.

Yes. I've got both and Fire Stick is very good. FS lacks 4OD though, so Roku scores there.

The Fire TV box is on offer for £63.99 at Amazon until midnight tomorrow, and the Fire tablet for £39.99 (£10 off). I'm debating getting a Fire TV box and trading in the stick at a CEX or something (CEX website says I'd get £24 for it, I got it for the £7 when it launched).
