  • Cool... Does it connect up to the internet via wifi?

    Only problem is the high use of data. If you have an unlimited data plan that you can connect to the internet, great. Otherwise, streaming video's/movies is gonna eat your bandwith like no other. But this more than just another source of video's/movies. Looks like it's basically a mini computer with your HDTV screen.

    From my experience use of campground provided wifi is inadequate to stream movies, but could work with browsing etc..

    Amazon Firestick does movies and stuff, but this is more than that. Nifty gadget.
