I have 3 Tvs with Firesticks ... It works FANTASTIC!! I tried Roku But it just doesn't have the side loads so it limited me in a big way...but on the firestick i found that with sideloading the world is mine .... Amazing APK's that helps with NO BUFFERRING and NO ADS... No Cable Just Internet & FireSticks ..... Yesssssssssssssssss!
Love your content I live outside the USA I have both Roku and fire stick and fire stick hands down is more easier and less restrictive than Roku, plus side loading on a fire stick is one of the plus why I went with firestick
I've left Roku alone about 5 years ago & didn't look back their devices are okay but it's not for me I perfer the firestick which is way better hands down nevertheless keep up the good work with the informational videos
As a longtime cable subscriber ($200 avg bill per month) and Amazon Prime member (another $15 per month) I tried to cut the cord but with Firestick, I still have to pay for apps like Netflix, Showtime, Peacock, HBO Max, Live TV, etc. So the question is, how does a Firestick save money?
Your first mistake is not adding an IPTV. Then you can cancel cable and eliminate all those apps. We can help on Patreon. Also many free apps out there with all those services you mentioned.
I purchased a new large smart TV recently. At that time I never knew there was a difference between Roku, Android, Apple or FireTV. I do have two FireSticks and was lucky that I purchased a FireTV. I’m so glad I did and I try and recommend FireTV to my friends.
I enjoy having the ROKU channel on my fire stick and on my Samsung tv plus and I have a QUESTION about whether there is a way to select FAVORITE CHANNELS? When are that we have is the ALL CHANNELS only that’s a lot of uninteresting channels to have to scroll through all the time and I hope you know the procedure to manage Channels. Thank you for any suggestions you might have.
If you're looking for a specific movie, show, etc, do you have to open every different app/service like disney+, Hulu, etc to find it? Or can you search or speak into the remote the title and it finds it for you in the appropriate platform?
I have four televisions. I DVR everything so I can fast forward commercials. I wonder if I can watch my firestick shows on all my TVs throughout the house.
Hi. I've been using Roku for a few years. I have the Roku app on my phone and use that as the remote. I always use the private listening feature with blue tooth headphones. Can I do all of that with a firestick?
Trying to understand my options, this is very helpful! Question: I currently have Roku and YTTV subscription. I want to drop YTTV (GETTING EXPENSIVE AS TIME GO ON). If I just have Amazon Prime and a Fire TV Stick will I still have the same type of content? I assume Amazon Prime is considered a "streaming service. Thanks in advance.
No you won't have what youtube tv offers. You would have to side load apps to get it. We have videos on patreon walking you through it (youtube does not allow these videos). It would be free for you and you would have all those channels
Firestick has the same feature. I actually cast my phone games to the TV. I also manage my work using the TV as my monitor from my macbook. Great feature. Nothing the roku has that the firestick doesn't have.
I went from Firestick to Roku because it was so fucking slow, it was painfully laggy. That being said, fireTVs are much faster, but the stick is garbage and under powered.
It depends on the stick you got. They have a VERY CHEAP lite model. The 4k max is super fast and blows away any roku. Plus the ability to add cinemahd and get all moves and tv free is a game changer. Can't do it on the roku
Yeah It is firestick all the way, on my second, you get Prime app on another device, mirrors your stick. Roku is ok but nothing original on there tha u can't find anywhere else.also I get stars and paramount for 11.99 for both. Also have Sling and they compliment each other nicely. And everything on the stick is 4k
Rumble takes ownership of your video and gets ad revenue on it. I won't give up video rights to them. Only people on rumble are usually people banned from youtube.
Yep, it's restricted to the US. You have to download from aptoide store, not Amazon as they won't have it in their store. Most Canadians are on Patreon and we help with this
I cannot believe roku stock is doing well. I have a roku TV and almost NEVER watch through roku. I get that their valuation and their profits are all advertising based, but Prime is SO much better Prime has better native content. The way things are laid out on roku screen is terrible and doesn;t even have the same quantity, much less the way it is organized. AND I hate that roku has an IR remote and needs line of sight. Such a pain!
Roku is genius at marketing. Most don't actually buy Roku, but comes on their tv. So many don't know the true benefits of a firestick vs Roku. Always a fun topic
@@CuriosityCafe yes, the do the 'razorblade style of marketing They give away a handle and the first few blades then make money off refills Roku Gave away the hardware to a dozen TV mfgrs (built in to the set) and try to make money off the advertising and selling data. But if no one uses it natively and most of us port over to apple TV or Amazon Fire, and then over to our app. they might not get the same revenue that they would if we viewed hulu or netflix or paramount, etc through roku. I jump from the built in to amazon, then to netflix, etc. But yeah, the money maker for fire tv, for apple tv, for roku is the ads and the DATA.
No, if you read their terms, they take ownership of your videos and monetize them and take a huge percentage. I won't give up rights. Usually only RUclipsrs who are banned go that route.
Some people love Roku. Great beginners device for those that already have and won't get rid of cable. Firestick for those that want to consider getting rid of cable, and android boxes for those and already cancelled cable and save hundreds every month. Pretty much sums it up.
What’s next? As far as I can tell, Amazon has done everything they can to discourage third party applications and can only see it getting worse. I love your channel but maybe we need to learn about what we need for the future. I am afraid fire stick is eventually going to become just like Roku.
You are correct. That's why I've shared so any alternatives to firesticks on Patreon. Most RUclips won't allow us to share. But they are all there for you
Roku SUCKS now. I just got one after not having one for several years... logged in... populated my apps... but none of them work.. they are not even available anymore.
@Curiosity Cafe OH DIDN'T KNOW THAT IVE BEEN WATCHING FIRESTICK CONTENT FOR YEARS SO MANY RUclipsRS HAS LOST THEIR CHANNELS BECAUSE OF RUclips RULES DR.VENTURE BEING ONE OF THEM HE'S USES RUMBLE NOW TO EACH HIS OWN I GUESS WELL KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK
Yeah, Rumble is for those that can't get monetized or lost their channel. Gotta play by the rules. So I pay outrageous hosting fees to provide the info to members only. I don't make any money, but at least I don't give my work away for others to profit.
@@CuriosityCafe To watch Spectrum services on Fire Stick does it require anything specific to access it? Noticing FireStick has 4 price ranges does any of these apply to better choices?
The reason is roku is garbage 🗑 you get what you pay for . With a fire 🔥 stick I can jailbreak it easy, jailbreak break means I'm in control not roku . The best streaming device on the market is nivida sheild . For gaming of for thing else. I'm a cord cutters , and would never ever purchase roku Again. I rather buy a apple 🍎 tv then a roku.

I’m so high, your T-shirt is freaking me out! I kept thinking something is wrong with me Wi-Fi!
Firestick works great with my $5 iptv service!!!
I purchased a new large smart TV recently. At that time I never knew there was a difference between Roku, Android, Apple or FireTV.
I do have two FireSticks and was lucky that I purchased a FireTV. I’m so glad I did and I try and recommend FireTV to my friends.
cool video. just added a fire stick 4k max to my setup.
I like firesticks ability to sideload.

Depends. If you speak into it, it will tell you which subscription service has it. Or you can get cinemahd and it's free
I have four televisions. I DVR everything so I can fast forward commercials. I wonder if I can watch my firestick shows on all my TVs throughout the house.
Very informative
Thanks for the information
Thank you again for the information.
Thanks you confirmed i purchased the correct one.
Thanks for the info!
Hi. I've been using Roku for a few years. I have the Roku app on my phone and use that as the remote. I always use the private listening feature with blue tooth headphones. Can I do all of that with a firestick?
Yes.... and much more
I switched from Roku to Firestick after a month. I find the Firestick easier to use.
Couldn’t you post those videos on Rumble?
No, they take all the rights from your video and make money off them. Zero chance
Trying to understand my options, this is very helpful! Question: I currently have Roku and YTTV subscription. I want to drop YTTV (GETTING EXPENSIVE AS TIME GO ON).

No you won't have what youtube tv offers. You would have to side load apps to get it. We have videos on patreon walking you through it (youtube does not allow these videos). It would be free for you and you would have all those channels
Airplay on roku is a big plus, I use both
Firestick has the same feature. I actually cast my phone games to the TV. I also manage my work using the TV as my monitor from my macbook. Great feature. Nothing the roku has that the firestick doesn't have.

I like the fire boxes much better ,they have more storage.
Thanks for information
Do you have to have comcast or something in order to use the Amazon fire stick in the first place?
Some sort of internet
Luv the channel ! Are there any jailbroken fire sticks that you recommend??
You do know that to jail break your firestick takes about 10 seconds. We show people how on patreon. Save you a lot of money and time.
I agree, Firestick is much easier to work with and tailor to your needs...plus sideload
Yeah It is firestick all the way, on my second, you get Prime app on another device, mirrors your stick. Roku is ok but nothing original on there tha u can't find anywhere else.also I get stars and paramount for 11.99 for both. Also have Sling and they compliment each other nicely. And everything on the stick is 4k
I've had a a fire device for several years and never had any experience with Roku.
How do I get to your Patreon video site?
Patreon.com/curiositycafeyoutube
Is Cinema still acting up on firestick?
With the right installer, it works fine
@@CuriosityCafe if I'm a part of the patreon, would you be able to direct me to a good installer? I really miss having it work properly
It's actually already posted on Patreon. I can't share it on RUclips comments.
@@CuriosityCafe thanks...I'll join.
Except for buying the hardware is there any other service fees with Amazon?
Only if you want to have subscriptions to like netflix, hulu etc. But that's optional. There is plenty free on it (way more than the roku)
I love the Firestick better.😁
🤔🤔 Which is better for FREE content non-subscription tho ? Movies, channels etc ? 😵💫
Firestick. Nothing the firestick doesn't have that the Roku has
Can you post on Rumble? Or are there similar restrictions?
Rumble takes ownership of your video and gets ad revenue on it. I won't give up video rights to them. Only people on rumble are usually people banned from youtube.
I can't download ROKU app. It says app not found. I am in Canada and used VPN to change to US, still doesn't work. Any ideas?
Yep, it's restricted to the US. You have to download from aptoide store, not Amazon as they won't have it in their store. Most Canadians are on Patreon and we help with this
@@CuriosityCafe Roku tv is not on Aptoide.
I'm surprised. I will look into this for you
I cannot believe roku stock is doing well.
I have a roku TV and almost NEVER watch through roku.
I get that their valuation and their profits are all advertising based, but Prime is SO much better
Prime has better native content.

No, if you read their terms, they take ownership of your videos and monetize them and take a huge percentage. I won't give up rights. Usually only RUclipsrs who are banned go that route.
Why not rumble instead of Patreon?
Video rights. Rumble makes money on the videos and allows copyright
Plus as a member you get up to 50% off demo products and new android box releases as well as full giveaways monthly. Can't do all that on rumble
Thanks Sir. Firesticks are better 🙂
That's why you do roko and fire stick
Some people love Roku. Great beginners device for those that already have and won't get rid of cable. Firestick for those that want to consider getting rid of cable, and android boxes for those and already cancelled cable and save hundreds every month. Pretty much sums it up.
How do I get my firestick to work on my tcl Roku tv?
Plug it into the hdmi port, then switch inputs. You can do it right on the Roku home page
What about local news channels?
What do you mean? We have videos on this for the firestick
With the Firestick I can't get my Spectrum app. I have to get Roku. Frustrating.
You can get the spectrum app. Side load it (one of the things you can't do with ROku)
What’s next? As far as I can tell, Amazon has done everything they can to discourage third party applications and can only see it getting worse. I love your channel but maybe we need to learn about what we need for the future. I am afraid fire stick is eventually going to become just like Roku.
You are correct. That's why I've shared so any alternatives to firesticks on Patreon. Most RUclips won't allow us to share. But they are all there for you
The android box stuff is free to see on Patreon as well. Just scroll down
Why can’t I get spectrum tv on my fire tv stick
Not sure. Did you put the app on it? Log into your account?
It's in the App Store
Roku doesn’t support Disney Plus with Ads.
I agree roku can't get new movies TV shows where any firestick can get everything roku just boring old type stuff
I have Roku and i don't care for it.
The Firestick is way better.
👍
Roku SUCKS now. I just got one after not having one for several years... logged in... populated my apps... but none of them work.. they are not even available anymore.
Sorry you had that experience. Some people still swear by it
ROKU Channel > Roku stick
GET YOU A RUMBLE ACCOUNT YOU CAN POST ANY VIDEO CONTENT YOU WANT NO CONTENT POLICE LIKE RUclips
Never, Rumble owns the rights to your videos and makes money off the creators. Patreon is way better
@Curiosity Cafe OH DIDN'T KNOW THAT IVE BEEN WATCHING FIRESTICK CONTENT FOR YEARS SO MANY RUclipsRS HAS LOST THEIR CHANNELS BECAUSE OF RUclips RULES DR.VENTURE BEING ONE OF THEM HE'S USES RUMBLE NOW TO EACH HIS OWN I GUESS WELL KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK

Got Roku to get Spectrum and watch NFL Football
Firestick has a spectrum app... and also you can watch football free with the firestick
@@CuriosityCafe To watch Spectrum services on Fire Stick does it require anything specific to access it? Noticing FireStick has 4 price ranges does any of these apply to better choices?
It's exactly the same as the Roku for normal access. But with the firestick you have more options for free tv. No need to pay subscriptions.
The reason is roku is garbage 🗑 you get what you pay for .
With a fire 🔥 stick I can jailbreak it easy, jailbreak break means I'm in control not roku .
The best streaming device on the market is nivida sheild . For gaming of for thing else. I'm a cord cutters , and would never ever purchase roku
Again. I rather buy a apple 🍎 tv then a roku.
Yep
Roku is for someone that's also paying for cable and just uses it to stream paid apps.
Roku has no versatility.
Firestixk has limited memory to add apps
