Apple Music comes to Fire TV
Apple Music is launching on Amazon Fire TV in the U.S. today, after rolling out in December to Amazon’s Echo line of smart speakers. The news is notable as it’s yet another example of the eased tensions between the two rivals following Apple CEO Tim Cook’s 2017 announcement of Apple’s agreement with Amazon. Their deal […]

One of the most tedious parts of setting up a new media streaming device is the requirement to enter your Wi-Fi password. The stronger your password is, the more tedious this process becomes. For Amazon Fire TV $49.99 at Amazon devices, the password …

Cord-cutting (or committing to anything past Netflix, honestly) can be daunting. Trying to navigate streaming packages sucks — and why even pay for them when your non-smart TV can’t pull them up?
We gotchu: Until March 12, PlayStation Vue will give you an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K for free when you sign up for and pay for one month of the Core, Elite, or Ultra plans. We’re pretty sure this deal hasn’t happened since PlayStation Vue came to Fire TV in 2015. You can thank us later.
If you’re going to be paying monthly for live channels and have a few extra bucks to throw in, PlayStation Vue is the best choice — hands down. With over 60 channels in Core, over 90 in Elite, and those same 90 plus HBO and SHOWTIME in Ultra, it’s kind of impossible not to find something to watch. Actually, PlayStation Vue is so good that Mashable named it the best overall premium streaming service. Read more…

The sky’s the limit when it comes to entertainment. You can visit an old-school cinema to see a movie, watch sitcoms reruns on TV, or create your own at-home theater experience with a streaming service.
Even though we have all these options at our fingertips, they can come with some inconveniences. First, going to a local IMAX hub isn’t as budget-friendly as it used to be. Then, there’s the chance that the internet might crap out when you’re watching your favorite Netflix series. And on top of all that, who wants to pay for an expensive cable bill?
If you’re over pricey tickets, connectivity issues, and cable payments, there’s hope. You can avoid these situations and buy a streaming media player. These devices can be game changers when it comes to watching your favorite movies and shows. They’ll take the hassle out of your next binge-watching session, so you can curl up on the couch, eat some popcorn, and relax for hours. Sounds simple, right? Read more…

What’s the best way to unwind? A movie or TV marathon of course! And, with all the entertainment options at our fingertips, including streaming services, binge-watching has never been easier.
All this technology can be a double-edged sword. First, there’s internet connectivity issues that can make your streaming sessions slow. Then, it might be hard to find something good to watch — there are only so many rom-coms a person can take. On top of all that, digital content isn’t always affordable, and you might find yourself forking over a lot of cash to watch what you want.
What’s the secret sauce for fixing these problems? Considering tech issues are sometimes beyond our control, we can’t do much. In the meantime though, there might be a solution to help upgrade your entertainment game: streaming media players. Read more…
