Whether it’s YouTube, Netflix, or Hulu, why stream video content on your phone when you can watch on your much bigger TV? With a Fire TV Stick, you can turn any TV into one that can stream movies and TV shows.
And right now, the Fire TV Stick is on sale for $25 at Amazon, which is a real bargain compared to its normal $40 price.
Amazon’s Fire TV Stick is nothing more than a tiny little device that looks like a flash drive. You plug it into your TV’s HDMI port, then power it by connecting to a power outlet using the included USB cable. Then, connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Done!
Once plugged in, you can use the included remote control to navigate the Fire TV Stick’s features. Namely, that means access to dozens of popular platforms, like Netflix, Disney+, Max, and YouTube.
The Fire TV Stick can also access live TV, news, and sports through live streaming services — perfect for anyone who’s been thinking of cutting the cord. You can also stream 300,000+ free movies and TV shows via Tubi, Pluto, and more. That’s a lot of content!
And the remote is pretty cool. It has Alexa built in, so all you have to do is press the Alexa button before issuing a voice command. With Alexa Voice Remote, you can do things like audibly search for content across apps.
The experts at our sister site TechHive reviewed the Amazon Fire TV Stick and liked that it delivers solid HD performance, especially for a device at this price point. (Note that the Fire TV Stick Lite is also on sale for less, but the remote for that one is missing a dedicated volume control button. It’s worth paying a little extra for it. Seriously. Don’t be tempted.)
If you want to stream on your TV, grab this $25 Amazon Fire TV Stick while you still can. Or, if you want 4K content and the ability to play Xbox games without an Xbox console, get the Fire TV Stick 4K Max on sale!
The Fire TV Stick is a great pick at this price
