Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help me. My boyfriend recently purchased an Amazon Fire TV Stick and I'm currently (trying) to use it to see if I like it. If so, I am also going to purchase one. So far I am having trouble with it. It connected to my Internet but said there were problems, and when it finally did bring up the home page, it would freeze up when I selected something to watch or an app to use. And when I exit back to the main screen, it again tells me that it has been connected to my Internet but with problems.
Here's my question: I currently have a Vizio smart TV. I mainly use it only for Netflix, which the TV Stick also has. But I'm currently saving money to get a tablet, and even though the Stick is cheaper than a tablet, I'm wondering if I would need one when I have a smart TV, and when I'm hoping to get a tablet. I have a laptop but I hardly use it (I think it has a virus, it's quite slow and won't update my software), and I feel a tablet would be more convenient for me, as I'm an avid reader. And to me a tablet would basically be like my smart TV, just on-the-go.
So basically I'm asking if anyone knows the pros and cons of a smart TV vs. the Fire Stick (if you stuck with me through all that ^^^ up there, thank you!!). Can anyone help? So far my experience with the Fire Stick isn't all that great, plus if, down the road, my boyfriend and I were ever to live together, why would we need two? Especially if I take my smart TV with me AND hopefully I have a tablet (I'm counting on having at least one of those). Help??
THANKS!
