Fire TV Stick 4K streaming device with Alexa Voice Remote

I've over a half century of working in the world of technology AND I am extremely picky about what I acquire and my expectations. I sometimes return products within a single day. If you get bored reading, just order the damn thing!If you do product research on the web, some say that YouTube TV is not available. IT IS AVAILABLE! You simply go to the website, signup, and download the app to your stick or smart TV.Suggest you search for discount code online. Mine was easy to find and saved a few bucks. . .I did a lot of product comparison and settled on thus 2nd Generation Fire Stick. 3rd Gen offered little - for me - to justify the higher price.We cut the cord with Spectrum and by using YouTube TV and Amazon TV (p/o Prime) for Movies, this couldn't have been a better choice. The learning curve was more of a Mole Hill and my wife learned How To quickly.The Voice activated remote is fantastic and works well with our TV's. NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED.Our bill for Spectrum TV + Internet was about $202/mo and if we needed to record two programs we could only watch 1 of those 2. I was told the latest set-top box add the ability to record two and watch other channels. What drove the final change decision was when we looked at a bill. Spectrum added another charge for enhanced sports without our permission. Another $3 that I know we neither requested nor approved. I DETEST SPORTS.What we find fabulous about YouTube TV is that you can sign in on the website and UNCHECK all the channels you have no interest in. The system has a Library and you simply add your favorite TV programs or movies to the system and the shows are continuously recorded on the cloud. If you select a show to record the system records it and all future shows. NO equipment needed and storage is unlimited.When I went to local Spectrum store to return the equipment I found that I was being upgraded to from 100 to 200 mbps internet for $45/month for the first year. I was being charged significantly more for the old 100 mbps. link. Guy insisted that my personal modem wouldn't work at 200 mbps. I was sure it did, but not sure if it would work at 400 or 900 mbps. No fee for modem so I took one. Got home and mine was registering 237 Mbps. I did a speed test to a server in Murmansk Russia. Speed was the same. If you need one, the store scans the information and it is automatically set to run when you connect it. It has no wifi...Back to the subject of Fire Stick. I never realized this, but our smart TV was connected to Spectrum via our wifi system. When I installed the Fire Stick I learned that it requires wifi. I was worried about having to pay for more cable to be installed to other rooms in our house. I now have three cables from wall connectors in my spares box. I had over the air TV with a small antenna on our kitchen TV. Ordered another Fire Stick and got it working the following day. Sound is excellent and video is vastly improved on all sets.If you don't have wifi cable modem, that is a minor technical issue. Easiest fix is to buy a wireless router and plug it into the modem connection. If you have a cable provider, there is likely an extra charge for the their wifi addition.Don't plug the power cable into a USB port on the TV. The box comes with a USB charging cable and a SMALL power supply that plugs into the wall. The little stick provides 1,000 milliamps (1 AMP) and it is rare for a TV to accommodate that on a USB port.Now for the best part, at least for me, We have Prime and live in the D/FW area which is likely why we got this service. When I ordered the first unit it was about 9 PM. The screen pops up and tells me if I order within so many minutes, the unit would be delivered the following morning between 8AM and 11AM. It was ! ! !I then ordered the second one, for the OTA kitchen TV, the following evening. Same pop-up. This time delivery is scheduled between 4 AM and 6:30 AM. On the way from the bed to the coffee pot I opened the front door and there was the package.Some who purchased this complained about the stick running hot. Mine doesn't. My philosophy, gained over 55 years of working in electronics and technology, is that if it doesn't burn your fingers, it is ok.
