The Firestick 4K. That's it. I'm a frugal gal.
I fail to see how that’s legal to have access to all the content of those pay services without paying for it.
No, it is not illegal to stream. It is illegal to download or sell for profit. All I am doing is viewing a show. The Firestick has over 50 million users in the US if I googled correctly. Then there are all the other Android boxes that are sold. There are a tremendous amount of people who stream. I suppose it is all how you look at it. For example, I will not watch movies that are playing in the theater because I don't feel it is right (although most people do). But after it is released to other IPTV services, I will. I would not be doing it if I felt it was against the law.

I don't think it is illegal Hitt, they are for sale all over the internet. Sideloading a Firestick takes about 5 minutes and is easy to do.
Well finally got something new planned for Wednesday at 7 AM - an Afib Ablation . . . Let you know how it goes when I get back . . . Just Sayin ' . . .

I'm with @hittman here, confused. I have Firesticks on my TV's, plus I have Prime and Sling. Are you really saying there's an App you can load on the Firestick that lets you get all the streaming services for free, and it's legal?
It's like Napster came back from the dead.
It sounds too good to be true. And if it is true why are millions of suckers like me still paying for streaming services?
I just had a close friend that had one done last week. He said it was a breeze. Came home the same day and texted me. Sending good thoughts your way. Please do let us know how you are doing. Lots of folks care an awful lot about you. Including moi.Well finally got something new planned for Wednesday at 7 AM - an Afib Ablation . . . Let you know how it goes when I get back . . .

Legal? Yes. That is my understanding and yes, you sideload the apps that allow you to do that. They are free there are a bunch of them.
Kodi is still going strong but I have never been a fan. Too fiddly. I ALWAYS prefer nice and easy.
Nvidia Shield is an android streaming box. It puts Firestick to shame as far as performance but is pricey. I actually bought one and loved it but returned it because the game thingy would not charge. There are comparable android boxes available that do just as much.
Oops, I did it again. Probably explained too much.
I need to clarify. The APK's that you sideload onto the firestick offer sections on the guide. Examples would be Playing Now, Trending, Romance, Sci-Fi, Hulu, Prime, etc. But each apk that you sideload includes the shows that you are watching on your paid service.
There are also Live tv apk's that play shows like Showtime, Cinemax, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, History Channel, HBO etc. I never watch those myself. I will also add that probably every Over Sex Anonymous member probably has a streaming box. That is all free also. TMI
I’m not judging you. I was curious since I pay for a few different services. I wanted to know more so did a little reading. You might want to take a look at the new law that was passed December of 2020. I saw this while I was looking up information on it.
This loophole was recently closed, however. An extensive COVID relief bill passed in December 2020 included measures that made illegal streaming a felony. This means that under US law, using illegal IPTV services can lead to jail sentences of up to 10 years.
