Should I just order one on Amazon? Will I be able to get shows like Resident Alien (Peacock), 1883 & 1923 (Paramount Plus), etc.?

Just get one and jailbreak it. You will be able to watch so much shit for free that your head will explode...😎

You can get a Firestick and add apps like Paramount + and Peacock that you mentioned, but you will need to pay for each of their services. You can also" jailbreak" the Firestick and add Kodi, etc. In my opinion if you are not somewhat tech savy you will get frustrated with the process and the maintenance of a jailbreak device.

The Streambox is much easier to use once you have your favorite apps downloaded. You can use one app for live TV and one app for movies and series, etc. Also like a Firestick, you would need one box for each TV.

You can get a Magic Box from @MagicMike909 and there is a youtube video out there on how to set up and load apps.

Without the jailbreaking, the fire stick is just a way to access apps like Paramount +, Peacock, Netflix etc. You would still have to subscribe to these streaming services.

It’s similar to Facebook, twitter or the RDP app on your phone. You download from the App Store, it shows up on your screen and you can open it. But if you don’t sign up, you can’t post. But for the tv apps you have to pay to watch.

No. Order the Fire Cube. The stick has very little memory and it's processor can't handle true 4k or Dolby Atmos streams.

Yes. You will be able to add apps to either the cube or the stick, but you'll run out of room for multiple apps on the stick.

I can't Believe I'm gonna say this, but...

I just set up an Apple TV dongle on a friend's new Samsung TV and the interface was WAY better than anything else out there.

Apple TV doesn't have shit for shows, but if you're already an iPhone fan, this would be a Much better way to go. They also have two versions (like Amazon does), so do your homework before you buy one.

I use green monster from this page and then have a real debrid account which cost roughly $17 every 6 months. The instructions for installation are very detailed now and easy to do.
For VPN I have nordvpn.
