Yamaha_man Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I’ve got a mate who can jailbreak them so access all areas. Just wondering if they are worth getting? If the cube is a better option. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/amazon-fire-tv-cube-4k?ab_version=B&gclid=CjwKCAjwm4ukBhAuEiwA0zQxk8uZJ_MWxP3Rpqw9sP6b9VLeukuFNoPjxwP-krY0AaHUsnkzOoMLxRoCUkAQAvD_BwE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very handy to plug into any hotel (or AirBnB) TV and have access to all your own content. Can also use a VPN on it (for when overseas in particular). Not sure how the quality would compare to more dedicated devices (Apple TV, Nvidia Shield etc), as I've never used one on anything larger than a standard TV. Can't fault it otherwise. Not sure why the need to jailbreak it though - as it has all the apps you'd need and can run IPTV services too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
