Fair enough, sounds simple enough.
I assume it’s a total package - even though I’d only want what I need to watch Swindon

The firestick plugs into a standard HDMI port which outputs video/sound. It connects to the internet via WiFi. Presumably, Pericardinho then side loads a dodgy app + VPN which shows you the footy etc
Yeah I gathered that was/is how they work...so what does it matter the hardware in terms of screen/monitor/TV/laptop? Surely as long as your screen can access the external HDMI channel then the stick does the rest via WiFi and remote no?  It was just confusing that Pericardinho mentioned that TV was easier than laptop but unsure why?  |

HDMI ports are not the same on laptops as they are on tv’s or computer monitors.

Not all of them. I'd say it's more the other way round in terms of HDMI blocking with modern Samsung TVs/Devices but I was just curious. Plus, could you answer the other questions please? Thanks |

Thanks Majority of laptops are HDMI output only. You'll need a video capturing device to make it work. That's what I mean about TV or monitor being easier. It's less faffing about. Yes it's a total package. It has virtually every TV channel in the world on it. Every Movie. Every TV series. Anything missing can be requested and uploaded. |

Not that its relevant but do you sort it out or contact someone else as colleagues at work have had issues in the past when the Firestick has played up hence me asking earlier if you ever get any problems throughout the 12 month contract?

They are pre-loaded, vpn'ed and posted 100% by myself and you get my contact number for any issues. Obviously, it goes without saying that I'll just be relaying info given to me by the people who actually run the software. |

Fair one, and thanks for getting back regards channels or requesting anything missed to be added. I'll probably look into it at the end of the Summer/start of Autumn. Cheers Pericard |

The ones who've purchased did they have their own Firestick or have you included them at an extra cost? |
