I also just bought a firestick. Connected instantly!! It had no problem finding my wireless and it's been working ever since!!
With the Fire Stick, how do you watch broadcast TV? I use Tablo with Roku, and am wondering if I can use Tablo with Fire. Thanks.
I stream with YouTube TV and Philo, but Haystack carries a lot of the local channels and so does Local Now though theirs is mostly news. You can download the Roku Live Channel without having a Roku stick. Did you know that? That has local channels too.
Well, I had a really long explanation typed out and the site ate it.
The Roku Live Channel is an app like anything else you can add, Discovery+, Disney, Motortrend+, any of those. Sometimes, an app won't work on a Smart TV, but if you have a Smart TV, you don't need a streaming stick because if the app doesn't work on the TV, the TV has a built in browser and you can watch the app/site through the browser. Technically, the streaming stick just puts everything in one spot so you don't have to skip between things like the TV interface or the browser.
Haystack is the same thing, an app. It runs 24/7 and has most local stations. I don't remember if it shows live programming or just news. You'd have to look. I can tell you though that I use an antennae on my second floor, a OneBy1 that's stuck to my inside wall with Command Strips and I get all the local channels in a 50 mile radius so I think that's almost 60 channels and I can watch all the local broadcasts I can stand that way, all live programming, all regular on air programming.
Wow I had no idea. Good to know. How do you stream Roku live without a stick? Does Haystack stream CP 24?? Didn't know about haystack either.
