Amazon Fire TV?

Amazon announced today their Amazon's TV set top box. It appears to be a decent competitor for another IP streaming box, assuming one has a strong Internet connection.

My guess is that its no better or worse than a Roku or Google Chromecast. The trouble is that despite the advertising, there is really a limited amount of popular shows and movies that the content owners allow to be streamed though a service that changes a monthly service fee. To get the "good stuff" you either have to rent the physical media or pay a per use fee.

LOL! Don't start that in here! Everyone will tell you it's impossible, expensive, unnecessary, etc., etc., etc..... Campers tend to be behind the technology curve, in general I guess..... Other threads on this have been contentious to say the least.

Just something else to suck up all the bandwidth in a park so most people cannot even check their mail. Very bad manners to stream movies and videos unless you have your own personal wifi
