So I decided recently to ditch my Cable. You see My cable package comes bundled with my Internet so why not use it? well that has been the case for some time now.
In the quest for variety I decided to get my hands on a Amazon Fire Stick. I must say that I am not disappointed. This is my experience with the Amazon Fire Stick.
What Inside the Package:
Inside the Box of the box of the Amazon Fire TV you will get the usual documentation, The Amazon Fire Stick, Remote,A USB charge Cable and Adapter brick and finally a HDMI extension or breakout cable to give more flexibility while connecting to your TV set.
Instillation and Initial setup:
Initial setup and Install of the Amazon Fire TV was very easy. All is required is that you attach the breakout cable to the fire Stick for more reach especially on those modern small TV sets that mounted on the wall.
Another thing is that most HDMI ports don’t deliver enough power through the port and you will need to connect the Adapter to the Amazon Fire Stick to give it additional power. The Stick actually notifies you if its not getting enough power.
On setup you will need to connect to WiFi as most services are delivered over the internet. Next you will need to associate your Amazon account with this device. Seeing that this is a Amazon service and they deliver the primary device you cant skip this step.

My Experience with the Amazon Fire Stick:
So setup was a breeze and one of the main choices of content out the Box is Amazons Prime Video which delivers Amazon original series at the click of a button if you are subscribed.
You also have access to a variety of Android like Apps which you can download as desired. These apps includes Netflix,Hulu and so on. This basically means you can aggregate all your streaming services into one small handy package. If you have issues installing any apps you may want to read my article on that issue.
What really surprises me about the Amazon Fire stick is the small size. How can something this small be so versatile and flexible.You have about 5 to 6 Gigs of storage on the Fire stick and this allows you to store apps and for usage by the Fire stick operating system.
The User interface is easy to Navigate as the included remote makes it super easy. Typing is a bit slow but you do get use to it over time. You can easy with the press of a button summon Amazon Alexa and ask anything such as the weather or something you may want to know. Another cool thing is that you can have access to your regular cable stations subscriptions all from the Fire stick.
