About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
These are usually around £50 on Amazon UK, and usually between $40 - $30 on Amazon US, so this is the cheapest I've seen this stick
Delivery takes about a week
It's pretty much standard Android TV, with some TiVo apps that can be disabled
The remote is pretty good, too
You'll need to register this device using a US address (I used a Macdonald's in Washington DC)
Pretty good alternative to the Firestick

sorted byJust wondering if the OP genuinely got this for less?
Quite correct, it's $25 plus taxes and delivery
But, still, it's one of the best sticks I've used (the best being the Nvidia shield)
Apologies once again
I've removed or disabled all the TiVo systems and apps, and it behaves pretty much like any android device.
Although, I have noticed that installing the BBC iPlayer app seems to be impossible, but that might be a good thing for some people!
Because the link is to the US store, it might be an issue if opening on a mobile device, with the Amazon app installed
OK so 3DMark is strange, it was selected as a recommended app during initial setup (from my Google Play account supported apps), and installed, but it does not appear anywhere in the menus... So I found it in the Play Store on the device, and there is only an 'Uninstall' button, no 'Open' button as there is with any other installed app. So 3D Mark is 'supported' but not really. (edited)
This also uses Google Assistant rather than Alexa which some may prefer and others may not.
That isn't to say I recommend this over the Firestick though, my list of unsupported apps above and the fact this is imported and not intended for the UK market may be offputting to some. If this was generally available in the UK and supported all the streaming apps, I'd say this over a Firestick, as it is though it will depend a lot on what your needs are in terms of supported apps (without sideloading) and how much you care about ads and the differences in hardware and user experience.
There is a comparison on Versus though it is limited as doesn't mention unsupported apps: versus.com/en/…-4k (edited)
The Apple TV is best out there for sure but that’s a lot more money.
Does everything the Firestick does, but better
But, each to their own
WiFi is reliable, the remote is fantastic, and the stick itself is fast and responsive. The extra USB-C port is also handy for all kinds of reasons. All my apps are working fine, with UK content (Netflix, Disney, Amazon Video, YouTube). The only app I can't install is iPlayer, but casting from mobile works adequately
All in all, it cost $40, which was about £31 delivered. Happy days
It says address incorrect any head's
Thanks
I generated and used an address using this site, but you can also use any Macdonald's address from the States
I think if they released this in the UK, and thus made sure it support the UK streaming apps it would do very well. The way it integrates the major streaming apps into the homepage is very nice and if they partnered with say Freeview or Youview for a UK release to get the channel guide from there it would be amazing. They'd probably partner with Virgin for a UK release (if they were ever to do one) though since Virgin do TiVo boxes already, even so that would probably work well. Such a shame this hasn't had a UK release really. (edited)
