Bro, at 48 you’d think i’d be a little more sharp about all this new stuff.

I’m not lol.

What exactly IS Amazon fire TV and do you need cable for it?

I dont want anything to do with cable but we will have it forever because my wife is obviously female so The Bachelor, Mob Wives, Housewives, Survivor and all other kind of #### shall be watched by her, God help me.

Sorry got distracted. The package you wrote sounds great and i dont want you to have to speak dollars and cents online but I just want to know what Fire is. :)

It is Amazon’s interface to the internet (wired and/or wireless to your wireless router). It manages the streaming connection with Amazon Prime TV/Video and outputs to your TV. About $99 and you use your Amazon Prime account to view content available. It also has add-on subscriptions for Hulu, Netflix, Starz, Showtime and many other streaming services.

It works much better than Apple TV - faster downloading, more buffering and better output to TV resolution choices.

All together the Prime, the Netflix, the Hulu, and Starz are less than DirectV which I am dumping this month.
