    I was looking at a video explaining what it was (on Amazon) and it sounds to good to be true.

    Basically all you need is a TV with a HDMI cable and you can access bucket loads of TV shows and films for free.


    Is that all there is to or do you do you need broadband or other add ons that they don't mention.

    If its a simple as it seems to be I'm think of buying one it sounds brilliant.

    I imagine you need broadband.

    Yeah you need broadband. It is a streaming service. I'm sure there is some charge for it.

    I think it's something like €79 a year, definitely not free, maybe free first month.

    The main streaming service it uses isn't available over here yet. It's a slight pain to set up to work over here and needs smart DNS service like Overplay but works well when it's all up and running

    You're thinking about xbmc / kodi side loaded on to an Amazon Fire 🔥 TV. Which does work for free, but might not always, and is illegal.

    IN this respect, is the content somewhat limited here? You can't get the Prime apps for Xbox or iPad anyway.
