Am i an idiot? Have a smart TV and using it with a fire stick. Why?

[70 Mach 1]

Because i dont know how to work the smart tv nor find the apps i watch

Easier for me to DL the apps to the Amazon fire stick

WTF I grew up in the 70s. I dont understand how to work all this shit.

Your smart TV is not an actual computer in the conventional sense as it pings as a TV whereas your Firestick pings as a normal computer.

Not all smart TVs can download all apps whereas a Firestick can.

You can't FREE stream LIVE sports with a smart TV but with a Firestick you can...easily.

MANY reasons to own a Firestick.

Yes, you are. Glad I could help.

At least i have no problem admitting it.
Unlike your democratic ass post after post of the same TDS.

We have 1 smartTV and 3 firestick TVs (not sure if those are 'inherently' smart) but I like the firestick too because of the voice feature

I have a couple of "smart" TV's; Sony Bravia. The apps it came with never really worked right and wouldn't update. Currently they don't work at all. I also couldn't add other apps other than what came stock. So no, you're not an idiot. Smart TV's aren't the be all end all they claim to be.

I have a couple of the shittiest, cheapest ones on the planet. One's a Vizio and the other is a Roku. I think I paid $90 for the Roku and it's like 50" ( I don't know how they measure TVs these days). Anyway, all the apps and shit still work in them and they're pretty old. At least 5 years.

Mine don't really work anymore. Every time I turn the TV on I get s message saying the apps are out of date and are unable to update. The last time I tried them it basically said the apps weren't the current version and wouldn't work.

Strange. I don't experience anything like that. I'm not really a big TV guy though and 90% of the time I'm watching classic cartoons over the digital antennae shit. MeTV Toons.

 

[84superchamp]

Helpful thread for me. No dependable streaming here, AT&T internet sux so I've been looking for alternatives. Was not familiar with the Firestick.

BTW what was the most idiotic unhelpful post so far?

That sounds right. Cartoons are right at your mental and emotional level.

You're too good for animation?
That sounds right.

If you turned of MSNBC once in awhile you might not be such an insufferable prick.

If youre looking for MLB or Mets games...... Or other fun stuff in general......


I'm pretty sure Disney + has you covered as they have a bundle with ESPN and it's worth it for the money aside from the Hulu bundle or whatever other plan you get....... Aside from other BS and things they offer other than MLB too and entertainment in general

 

[84superchamp]

Fuck MLB. Just watch paint dry.

Hell there are worse things.......


Like NFL for example and their unAmerican BS
