Resist We Much
I cut the cable several months back. Hell, we didn't watch but a few cable channels, just as often watched local TV channels. W/ antenna I get around 25 channels, and no monthly bill. Win.
Kept internet service, of course. Got the Amazon Firestick, Amazon Prime. Can watch movies/docs on Prime, apps such as Youtube. However, Google(who owns Youtube) and Amazon aren't playing nicely, so Amazon ditched the Youtubes app on 1/1/18, or Google ditched Amazon, whichever. What to do?!
So apparently foreseeing the displeasure of its customer base, Amazon offered a get-around so customers could still watch Youtube. They prompted a download for a BROWSER, Silk. A browser. Wow, who would have thunk possible. So not only can I do the youtubes, I can also browse the net on the TV. As I haven't booted the desktop comp up in months, only laptop, I only hear the HR Clinic through laptop speakers. Now, with silk, might be awesome.
Just downloaded Silk a few days ago, so can't give a proper review. We'll see. Anybody else using Firestick and Silk?
