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.

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

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