Firesticks

[klondike]

A couple of you were having TV problems which may be fixed by using Firesticks. The Amazon Prime sale starts today and a 4K Firestick is under £30. Alternatives such as Roku  (which is what I use with a pre smart TV as I have a Roku smart TV) are similarly priced.

Klondike,  you've got me here?

You may perhaps be aware of my amazing and advanced knowledge of all things technical, (   ) but I will admit I don't know what a Firestick is.   
That name to me, is what Dad would have once used to start the fire with,  but in the  wisdom that comes with maturity,  I am guessing it means something completely different nowadays.   

I don't want to set fire to my telly, I've only just had it mended,  so what would I do with firesticks?

These gizmos connect to your internet connection usually over WiFi and your TV is used to display their output. They run apps such as the various TV apps and the likes of YouTube or Netflix or Amazon Prime that you can run on your phone or tablet. They remove the need for aerials, satellite dishes or cable TV. I forget what your TV problem was but Alex had one that wouldn't tune to the candles she wanted. No need to tune anything in with these.
