I am already transitioning to streaming, I am working my way through
the Amazon Prime documentaries They have just about anything that PBS
ever aired. I talked about the American Experience show about the MLK
assassination the other day. Today I am watching Frontline season 27
ep 8. This is contemporary with the 2009 crash and it is pretty
interesting, carving through some of the myths we may have.


Â*Â*The Firestick has a great interface, very easy to use.

Â*Â*I have added Terrarium TV on my Firestick.
This has all the TV shows you would want.

Â*Â*I have also added Mobdro
Mobdro has many, many networks and TV stations.

Kodi can also be installed on your Firestick.

I have not put Kodi on mine but I have a buddy that uses it.
I did use Kodi when I used a Raspberry pi for streaming.

I have not used any of the Prime videos, as there is so much
available on the apps I posted.

Also, a program called Real Debrid,

Â*Â*It's not needed and has a small cost but it picks the sources that
will
give you the best sources to stream from automatically, without you
picking from a list. Also picks the 1040p and 4k streams.

"Cutting the cord"Â* (meaning cable/internet service) and going to
streaming still requires a relatively fast internet service, does it
not?Â* What service would you use?

Â*I have 30Mbps and I don't have any problems, but I also don't have any
other demands on the service, while I'm streaming.

30 Mbps is fine for streaming HD video, even with other devices
connected. What service do you have for Internet?
