This usually is listed for $69. Take note that this is the basic edition and not the 4k one which we still don't have here in Australia. A good reason to get this is if you want Amazon Prime Video and you don't like manually putting apps on your media device.
CamelCamelCamel.
Apparently the one time app download and sign in warrants spending $59 waiting a few days for delivery then installing and setting up an entirely new device.
They are handy for the spare TV that isn't connected to anything else,like one in my kitchen/sun room.
What's a bloody sun room? rich boy
could be misspelling of "son"
(ie, son's room)
No no. He's just a posho.
Mate relax .. i dunno how it sounded in ur head, it was a fun poke

Pardon, what?!
It is my cockatoo's north facing room here on the Otway Ranges overlooking Lorne.
The rent on this three bedroom house costs me 25% of my income.
Bloke mows my lawns. Another picks up my mail from the post office.

Will this Stick enable to access Prime US via a VPN?
This and if Amazon fire sticks devices are geo blocked - in terms of app availability etc - would VPN solve it ?
Does it take verbal commands, via a microphone?
IF so, can Amazon record & convert to text
voices heard in the room, ie, between commands?
IF so, Privacy issue! Amazon has history here!

This or Vodafone TV ?
I prefer Xiaomi MiBox and is my go to gadget for streaming. Although, I have the VTV as well and works good also. Only gripe I have with it is that for some unknown reason, the homescreen and everyrhing looks dark and lifeless compared to the vibrant screen on the MiBox.
Maybe I've got a dud unit?
I've got a mibox which works fine, but many here claim for equivalent price voda box is better.
For me, I find that the remote is just more solid and reliable. If I understand correctly, it's missing some apps (Mibox has Kayo straight up), but from my experience, VTV just felt higher quality.
Oh, it also has an ethernet port which Mibox does not.
@IVI: I would say so.
This is the most recent deal on the Mi Box which is approx $12 more expensive than the Vodafone TV.
do you use HDMI splitter after VTV? i read it have problem with HDCP. I want to get VTV but i have splitter and AV receiver before the TV.
Does it support stan?
VTV even have a direct antenna input for FTA TV
Prime Video on the Vodafone TV needs to be sideloaded, and the audio is always out of sync for me. Tried several different variations. Even Chromecasting Prime, it's still not in sync. Not everyone seems to have this issue.
Every other streaming service works fine for me, apart from Prime.
Will not buy until we see 4k and Alexa integration.
I bought one of these a few months ago for $49, and we use it for 2 things:
- Netflix app (primary use)
- Select Amazon Prime shows (American Gods, Good Omens, etc)
For those two things, it's great.
Does your amazon fire stick have the Stan app? Looking to get one thanks
Can I install Android app on it? I have chromecast but some app didn't cast correct but play OK on Android.
This is a vastly inferior model to the standard available in the US and Europe. Better to buy the regular US model on ebay.
What would you say is a reasonable price for the regular US model?
You can get regular US model for about $90 delivered at the moment on ebay. For a 4k model about $100-$110, I think. There's several US models, so check model# and what they can do before you buy.
Was gonna bite the bullet and grab one of these as have been casing Amazon Prime to my Chromecast lately and annoyed at lack of physical remote (seems my LG doesn't send all the HDMI-CEC commands)
But then I started reading the comments about the MiBox and VTV and now I'm just gonna cry myself into an afternoon nap.
That is a good reason ?
