Cheers for the responses so far. My TV is an LG 2016 model, but unfortunately, it's also pre 'WebOS' version. This means I don't really have any control over the two main apps I use - Netflix / Prime - because I cant update to the latest versions - Im stuck with the 'LG' versions, that are somewhat out of date now, not really supported and buggy and laggy.
Rather than get a new TV (Wasteful) I'm looking for a streaming device that does Netflix and Prime to use instead of the ones built into the TV...
Initially, I was eyeing up a Roku, but on further research, a lot of the apps that are 'baked in' are not apps for the UK market, so that seemed kinda pointless for me in the UK. Then I was looking at firesticks and realised that this new one had just released. Meaning its about as state of the art as it's gonna get - For a streaming stick anyway.
I've kinda considered chromecast, but its not really something that is on my radar, as you dont really hear much about them in the UK. So I think I'm probably gonna pull the trigger on the firestick in the next few days or so.
I did have a firestick from one of the very first versions, but it doesn't have 4K, seems to think that it's located in Germany (Don't ask...) but most importantly, the only way to 'switch it off' is to pull the power cord - Then re plug when I want to use it - Not ideal.
The new one though, looks like it can be left connected up all day when not being used, then activated via a button on the remote (Not present on my old remote) then used for a few hours before I go to sleep, which is the only time I would be using it.
One thing I DO like about it, is the Netflix / Prime dedicated buttons on the remote - That will be ideal for my usage case.
Plus, if I get it from amazon, I can get a replacement sent out next day if I get a fault, so I'm not too worried about longevity, considering its only gonna get a few hours use a day
Thanks all
