Streaming services are basically the new cable at this point. We’ve all been aware of that for a few years, but cable actually made it easy to switch between channels, while streaming services always ask a little bit more of you. They don’t have to though, especially if you’re willing to drop a little bit of cash on a good streaming device. As it happens, we just so happen to have found a great deal on a great streaming device today too.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick HD is currently down to just $18, which is less than basically everything else you’ll be picking up today, and it’ll do a lot more than a couple of coffees as well. This is a 49% discount on the usual price of $35, but it’s also a limited-time prime day deal on Amazon, so we’re not expecting it to last for very long.
Streaming Plus
The Fire TV Stick is an excellent choice for people who have a lot of streaming subscriptions, and they’re sick of fumbling through them all just to find something to watch. The Stick plugs into your TV with ease, and then makes it absurdly simple to download and access all of your favorite streaming services in one place. This just streamlines the whole process, and it makes finding something to watch a lot more relaxed than it can be. Well, unless you’ve got a toddler shouting at you because they want to watch Blippi, nothing can help with that… sorry.
Along with access to those services, it also lets you watch live TV, and get specific subscriptions to sports and news even. There’s a lot of potential entertainment at your fingertips here. It can also be used to access Amazon Music, Spotify, and other music apps too, so it’s even good if you’re looking to just chill out to some music. Just remember to put a screensaver on or turn the screen off to avoid that horrible burn-in.
Along with all of that, if you’re someone who’s building up a smart home with Alexa at its core, this can be a great way to control everything. As long as you’ve got the right tech installed, you can ask Alexa to dim your lights, check out different camera feeds, set reminders, and basically anything else. That’s all easy to do thanks to the voice remote, which comes with the Fire TV Stick HD. That’s not bad at all for just $18.
