OT: Help, question about fire stick

[tired]

Do you have to have an Amazon account to be able to use it? I'm wanting to get a streaming device and trying figure out what's best.

You're mixing two terms. It's boom stick & fire water. No wonder the dead Injuns hate us.**

No you don't need a Prime account. You can access all content and apps, but you just wouldn't have a Prime subscription to get the movies and shows they offer for free.

Prime is really just a streaming service like Netflix or Hulu, and the Fire Stick is a streaming device like Apple TV or Roku.

You can have the service without the device and you can have the device without the service, but they work best together.

Gotcha, thanks.
Thanks "Cocheese" for the laugh
