Today is likely the last day to get the Amazon Fire TV on sale for $49.99 or the Fire TV Stick on sale for $29.99. Amazon has not revealed exactly when the current sale will end, but today is the 7th day of the sale and similar sales in the past have ended after a week. If you’re wondering if the new Fire TV with 4K and HDR support is right for you, take a look at this article from earlier this week that discusses the pros and cons of the new model.
Also Note that Directv Now has the Fire TV 4K promo that only requires you to prepay for “1”month of service (=$35 minimum).
Today I did the DirectTV deal, via eBates. eBates gives you $16 cash back, over and above the free FTV3. So it comes to $19. I’ll ebay it for profit if I do not like the device.
You would have done even better had you gone through Befrugal. Befrugal is offering $22 + $10 sign up making the Fire TV 4K cost $3
And the apple tv 4k cost $73!!
I didn’t want to setup yet another account.
How to get this installation
You were right Elias.
I got my FTV3 from the Direct TV deal. It sucks! It doesn’t seem to play back 4k media any better than the FTV2. Actually I think it is even worse. In addition, with no usb/sd card port, and the fact that the new OS blocks apps like “apps2fire” from working, it is a huge PITA to get things like Smart Youtube Tv installed.
After messing around with it for an hour or so, I have already listed it on ebay. Good riddance.
