That is exactly what I did. Bought 2 sticks for 2 TVs in my house. I have Amazon Prime already, that is $100 a year. My Comcast Xfinity bill kept creaping up and up, right now to about $200 a month (internet and TV). I ditched the TV service,and only keept the internet from Comcast ($80/month), added digital antenna to get the local channels ($22) All in all, I am getting the same, if not more, this way but saving about a $1,000 a year paying for cable where most of the channels I did not watch anyway.

We also have Comcast and do not like paying $200a month! With the fire stick, can you get ME TV, INSP, and local news channels?

@BirdieGal turns out, he used You Tube instructions last year (or year before). He has since found a website with a far easier/better tutorial.

Just put in your Google search bar: How to install Kodi 17.5 wireless.

It's the first article that comes up; the website is a dot org

Good luck!

This sort of technology is way, way above my ability to understand or use it. I don’t even know if I have a smart TV. Hanging head in shame and walking away.

@KathyPet IF you are interested, there are some good articles explaining the basics.

Well maybe I am not as ignorant as I thought. I do have the Apple TV box and I do know how to go to my IPAD and start playing a movie from Amazon prime on my tablet and then use Air Play on my tablet to watch on my TV set.
