It's often been mentioned to get a Firestick on this thread. Living in France, my satellite dish (beaming Sky channels) is being obstructed by large trees....hence I am looking at alternatives.
- Is it easy to install? I have one free hdmi slot on my (non smart) TV.
- Presumably it has its own hand held 'controller' ?
- Would it be able to receive mainstream UK channels (how?) and children's programmes? (KIDS on Sky...).
- Does it have a VPN of its own....so that eg I could set it to UK and then use BBC iPlayer?
- I usually set my VPN on my laptop rather than on the wifi router itself.- Are all Firesticks pretty much the same?
- I have read that ROKU might be better?
All advice and information welcome.
