Does Netflix have old movies too?
I watch mostly 1928-58 movies
Before 1928 the sound was horrible and the 60's was a bunch of Beach Blanket bingo crap

lol
$96 a year is doable-Thanks

I have the cheaper 1080P Firestick and a 4K Firestick. The 4K Firestick has a better processor and GPU and is much faster. The cheap 1080P Firestick is slower to use.

They do. Click on the below link and sort by year:

Or you could search here:
https://flixable.com/
Use the "Release Year" slider to narrow down the results.

Amazon Prime Video has old movies as well. You can search here and narrow by year:

Yes i did look into it but it looks like it is very limited and "unlimited" use had some bad small print.
It actually would be very exp here anyway. But I only looked into a few.

I can monitor router throughput. My Fire TV was pulling GIGABYTES of data every day, even when not in use.

Googling showed that the screensaver downloads images all the time. Turn it off in settings. Now I'm at 500-750 kilobytes a day, when no video is watched on Fire TV.

Yeah, my Chromecast devices were doing the same thing. I had to disable the screensaver.

I have mine hooked up to a surge protector by itself and hit the kill switch when I'm not using it.
I'd hope that resolves those issues?????

Since there is an existing topic on FireTV stick I want to ask here if anyone can point me to right direction. I was told for newer movies like of Amazon or Netflix can be seen for free and that's my main reason of getting one.

so today I bought the stick (jailbroken) for $65 and I was wondering do I really need it; I have Prime, cable, smart TV however no Alexa speake in the house r; my question if there is any benefit of holding one in my situation anyone please.

I played with it tonight to see what features it offers and did not see anything spectacular or am I missing something?

I Thank You
