If you only have Wi-Fi access (also needs to be strong signal) near the TV you plan on using, I would say its good, you do have to clear some "cache" occasionally, look up Fire Stick Maintenance on YouTube for the how to.

But if you have LAN that you can access for that TV I highly recommend the Roku 3, double the price but its great.

I have both because of the Wi-Fi only in a room. I don't feel like running Cat-5.

Can you still watch regular tv through it?

Well your digital channels will still play through your antenna on a different source

saltysully 12-19-2015 08:06 PM

HD antenna, Roku 3 with Hulu and Sling TV is my new set up. Don't miss cable at all. Saving $75.00/month.

Samarai 01-18-2016 10:11 AM

specktator 01-18-2016 02:07 PM

Cancelled my $250 cable with Cox a few weeks ago. HD antenna, Amazon Fire Stick, and Netflix. Pay $63/month for LUS Fiber and $11/month for Netflix.

alphaman 01-18-2016 03:27 PM

I'm about to pull the plug as well on direct tv.

I should probably do the same, but I just can't do without Fox news.:cry:

How do you guys get your football games with these setups? ESPN APPs?

Sling TV has ESPN and espn2. And you can add the SEC network for an extra monthly fee.
