Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups
I just picked up the Fire Recast at Best Buy for 130 and I have to say that it has far far surpassed my expectations. Seamless integration with FireTV/Stick, ability to watch on any of my devices (even live TV) and whether I am home or away. The way the channel guide works with the local broadcast and rolling right into pluto (and so many of the same channels that are found on cable because they don't want to lose ad money after all) The menu for both live TV and recordings looks just like when you log in to prime or netflix with episode summary. It is a beautiful set up.
I shall never look back.
