At what age did you admit defeat?

I'm going to give it a go. Cancelled Virgin.. Ordered a firestick

And all this from someone who has only just got rid of his Nokia 3410

 

You need broadband..........

 

Mrs TW was barely on the plane to blighty and I had invested in a barre de son and a Google chromecast, both connected and working in minutes of getting back home.

 

Barry who?

 

when i was visting a freind in scotland

 

French bloke you wouldn't know him.

 

I guess I've been guilty of plodding along with what I have but cutting Virgin out saves £48 a month including line rental.. £576 a year
I never realised just how much I was paying.

PO broadband will be connected shortly, £16 a month line rental and free broadband for one year then £8 a month for the broadband on top of the line rental.
If my maths is correct that will save me £384 in the first year and half my bill in the second year.

If you are right.. £35 for the firestick thingy and hopefully more choice of programs to watch.

There I go, kicking and screaming into the 21st century.lol.

 

we sold our telly to get a video recorder

 

Once you've got kodi on it you'll need to download all the best apps for films, sport and everything else, it's a bit of a mine field at first and not like normal tv, I find Robocop is a good one and phoenix is another but there really is thousands to choose from all streaming anything and everything that's ever been on tele and the cinema

 

French bloke called Barry? Surely you mean Pierre? You've burst my bubble.

 

No Pierre is Peter, sorry about your bubble was it a good one?

 

I just had a look at this Amazon Fire Stick, on Amazon, where else. It has about 18,000 reviews. This was the second one. I found it useful



I bought this as an electronic babysitter, for my husband, who is five. Oh, wait, not five, 48. I was pig-sick of him watching Netflix on his mobile phone, with his netbook pinging up Facebook messages, with the TV on full blast, and the sound from his Netflix leaking out of his earphones, because he had that on full volume as well, to counter-balance whatever was happening on the TV he wasn't watching. It has worked a treat, as he now watches endless hours of crap on the big TV, while his netbook and phone ping Facebook messages at him, and he lies on the couch, re-arranging his crotch, and grunting.

The installation was easy, despite the fact that I only have full use of one hand, I didn't need any screwdrivers, and I'm not allowed hammers anyway. I did stand on an apple that the dog had taken behind the TV, for dog-reasons, and it squidged between my toes a bit, but I don't suppose that's a universal installation issue, not everyone having a dog that hides fruit behind the TV.

The plug-and-play nature of the device meant that I was able to install without asking for help from a man, and I didn't even break any fingernails. I'm relatively certain I've deleted any links to my social media from Amazon, so the husband won't be able to ferret about, at two in the morning, while he's watching something with boobs in, or yet another concert from the time period when I was being potty-trained, and see all of the nasty things I say about him.

For me, it has been £35 well-spent, although the glut of adverts offering it for £25 have been a bit of a kick in the crotch, I could have spent the extra £10 on gin, but it would have been cheap gin, so there would have been no real gain.

 

OMG.... This stick is brilliant

 

You called

 

I've just jailbroken my Apple TV - side loaded Kodi onto it, popped a load of repositories ( no not them @Barneyrubble ) onto it and I'm happily streaming all the latest movies , sport and adult interest content to it ...marvellous - I love me gadgets
