Is Hulu included with Amazon prime?Amazon Firestick 4K
I’ve learned that if you don’t use their power supply, you will have problems. Also, don’t bother with the Ethernet adapter. Wireless is faster.
We became Amazon Prime members and downloaded Hulu with Disney +. We told Cox Communications to cancel our TV, their silly Homelife and we are not sorry in the least. It’s a bit of work getting to your programs, but worth it. I also have a subscription to Hulu’s DVR, although you really don’t need it.
I’ve not heard back from Cox, which surprised me. The last time I cancelled the TV service and went to DirecTV, they came to me with offers that would have kept me, but they were too late. This time they said nothing. No calls with special offers, no letters in the mail. Apparently, they just no longer care.
I switched because Cox sent me a notice that my package was moving from $250 per month to $300 per month. I now pay $92 for 500Mbps Internet, $8.25 paid annually for Prime and $72 for Hulu & Disney+. I figure $172 per month beats the heck out of $300 per month.
Again though the 2 sites I mentioned are not subscription based they are Free.. I really like free...
I was just curious about other things out there. I'm fine using what I have though. It works. And the only apps I have on the fire stick are from the Amazon store. It just so happens that one of the apps let's you browse the web and bookmark other sitesCorrect you are accessing a website with questionable legality to watch content. Since you can only install apps on a Roku from their store on the devices, and they keep those pretty locked down, a Roku is the wrong tool for your job. Other devices where you can install 3rd party apps are where you need to be looking.
Hulu is not included. I have Hulu with no commercials plus Disney+ and I pay about $74. I can’t recall exactly what I pay, but it’s within a couple dollars of $74.Is Hulu included with Amazon prime?
I like your plan btw
Us too... the current Apple 4K. Incredible remote (thumb mousepad, lightening cable to recharge), crystal clear 4K on our high-end Sony. Spectrum app provides cable content, stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and 1year of free Apple+. We no longer use the Sony‘s Android system. Amazon Fire Sticks sit in a drawer. Highly recommend.Apple TV 4K. No tips or tricks or issues. It just works.
Thx I didn’t think it was. I agree on prime. There’s also music and photo backup that’s great but once they got you they have you.Hulu is not included. I have Hulu with no commercials plus Disney+ and I pay about $74. I can’t recall exactly what I pay, but it’s within a couple dollars of $74.
I didn’t think I was getting much with Amazon plus, but now I wouldn’t be without it. I get free shipping on everything that Amazon ships, and most deliveries are next day. I also get to watch some killer movies and series’ that are not available anywhere else. Jack Ryan was the first series I watched and we loved it. Now I’m watching The Expanse.
I really like to watch all of the above on my eyePad. It makes the treadmill less of a chore.
Careful with the photo backup. They compress the files and you lose a little bit of resolution when you download it. I also don’t think you can upload anything other than JPEGs. I shoot RAW, and need to back those up as well, so I use Smugmug for photo backup.Thx I didn’t think it was. I agree on prime.

Thanks I’ll check that out. I use Amazon to back up only phone pics. I started back to playing around with photography this year and with my camera I shoot raw. I don’t have that many shots even worth to go off site or to worry about backing up right now. I have a 1 t memory and a separate hard drive to back up but haven’t used that yet. Mostly my learning process of shooting and editing in Lightroom.Careful with the photo backup. They compress the files and you lose a little bit of resolution when you download it.

When you get further along in your photography and want to securely backup your photos Scott Kelby recommends to keep one set on an external hard drive, another copy on a second external hard drive and a copy in the cloud.Thanks I’ll check that out.

Thanks fantastic info. Much appreciated and apology to the op.When you get further along in your photography and want to securely backup your photos Scott Kelby recommends to keep one set on an external hard drive, another copy on a second external hard drive and a copy in the cloud.
The first hard drive you keep at your computer and store new photos and your edits on that drive. Do not keep photos on your computer’s hard drive.
You then set your cloud backup to automatically scan your drive and upload changes and new additions.
The second hard drive is kept offsite somewhere. Your office, a bank deposit box, or a friends house.
Then periodically, you bring home the second drive, copy the first drive onto the second drive and then take the first drive offsite.
It’s a pain in the derrière, but it insures that no matter what disaster might strike, you have a safe copy of your photos.
The hardest part of this process is picking a cloud service and then uploading the photos. I have close to 50 GB in photo files. My upload speed is about 12 Gb per second. So you can see it takes a long time for the initial upload to complete. Some cloud services allow you to send them a hard drive with your photos on it. The then copy the photos to their drives and ship yours back.
Apologies to the OP for derailing this thread. Hopefully it will get back on the rails now.
