Amazon Fire stick or Xbox one, by Cornish Crayon on Mar 26, 2016 21:46:28 GMT 1, Purely for catch up tv and not much else really, used to play games but not so much anymore.......
Currently using a Xbox 360 to watch catch up to but it's a pain having to turn it on and use the joystick controller and ten minutes later found it.......
Amazon Fire stick, worth it or not ?
Xbox one ? Any other options ?
Not massive telly folk in here just need to get with it I suppose !!!! 
No worries

If you download films it's great too.

Amazon Fire stick or Xbox one, by Street Art Fan on Mar 27, 2016 5:44:09 GMT 1, The Fire Stick is well worth the investment, but as rjf76 said above, you really need to subscribe to Prime in order to get the most out of it.

You can also buy a joy pad and a truly brilliant remote.
