johanson Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Shaw gives me my Seattle ABC, CBS, NBC, & PBS stations. Also, the same from Detroit. And FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and a few more channels that I don't remember. However, once the satellite dies that carries these channels, it will not be replaced. What's the expected life expectancy? Maybe 5 to 10 years, or maybe a week. No one knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So googling USTVGO's price, it appears to be free - which goes back to - "If you're not paying for the product then you are the product" Tristan Harris I also found the same with Clear Choice - no easy way to find the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were great a couple of years ago but the recent OS updates are making everything more proprietary to the Amazon ecosystem. I would recommend the Google Chromecast TV, or an Nvidia Shield if price is no object. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about having an Amazon account. I'm talking about access to developer options, such as allowing 3rd party apps etc. Also they are making it more difficult to change launcher screens to customize layouts and other other options. The Chrome device is functionally the same as far as performance goes, but it is more customizable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the point is they are making things more difficult. I used to run Launcher Manager with Wolf Launcher as my default home screen. With the recent updates, this is no longer possible, but I can still do it on my Android OS. I'm not trying to s**t on the Firestick, it's a great device. Just wanted to let people know there are other great options in the same price range. In fact, on Amazon MX the Google device is priced lower than the 4K Firesticks.

I run a Nvidia Shield Pro. I love it because it has a Gigabit Ethernet port, and 2 built in USB 3 ports for expandable storage. You can even use it as a Plex Server. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
