tomx2 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hi. I will be going to Thailand (specifically Pattaya) for about 6 months. Looking to purchase either Amazon Firestick or Fire TV box before I arrive. The hotel I will be staying has good wireless internet connection. Don’t remember the up/download speed. I need to email hotel regarding their in-room satellite TV having a HDMI port. (never checked when I stayed previously). (Q) 1. Which device would you choose Firestick or Fire TV? 2. Will both work well in Thailand? 3. How’s the speed, 4. I am not an Amazon Prime subscriber and will be using 3rd party apps more often. Should it matter if I do not use a VPN when using my Amazon box. My Preferences: Streaming clear/sharp live TV channels with many US choices, PPV would be a plus. Upon arrival, I plan to subscribe to Gears TV and sideload Gears + KODI to the Amazon box. TV shows & VOD ok, but can download their torrent files from PC. Minimal buffering. Additional storage space for more apps. HD is ok, but not a deal breaker. The last IT forum review on this Topic was in 2016. Just looking for some current feedback from Amazon Fire TV/Stick users. Thanks. TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
