what list are you referring to?Entered a crapton off the aggregate list. No instant wins, but I'm sure I'll be winning several on the nightly drawings.
I had to "follow" a bunch of people. What does this mean and how/when can I "unfollow"?
That will teach me to do this on my phone at work.
Some of the entries have requirements. Some require you to watch a video. Some require you to "follow" people on Amazon.JoeSteeler said:
Wait...it's NOT a real car?For a split second I thought the car on the giveaway was real and not a remote controlled one.
OK, makes sense. I typically am entering these when I'm somewhere wasting time anyway, so I don't look at it as much of a time investment. That said I understand not everyone has the same amount of time to waste.
How can I do this? I've signed up for the notifications but can't find a way to edit them.
Download the Amazon Shopping App. On the menu on the home page, go to Today's Deals. Scroll down until you see the banner for "Chance to win daily prizes". Touch it to go to the list of big giveaways.
The odds on winning the lottery aren't very good either, but if someone offered me a free ticket, I'd take it.
This is true ?Your odds increase significantly from what they were before you entered the drawing
Is this the one to get if also installing Kodi? This would replace two devices on my current TV (chromecast and a raspberry pi) and also give me amazon prime video.
Yes. The newest of the new is the Fire TV Cube 89.99 (25% off)
I think I'm going HD Fire TV and echo dot for $60. Not bad considering the dot is generally $40 on it's own.
Adding the Echo dot adds what? Does that allow the voice control via Alexa for other components? I want to get a few of the Fire TVs (likely just the stick) so I don’t have to move my old Apple TV around to watch stuff like HBO Go which I have free via AT&T and so I can replace an old Roku.
Yeah, it does. I already have the larger amazon smart speaker in the kitchen/main living room - so I can use that with the new fire TV. I'll use the dot downstairs as a smart streaming device on the stereo I have that goes out to the deck. I also have a smart logitech multiremote there, so the dot makes that voice activated as well.
The dot works just like the echo, except, it uses bluetooth to output to speakers instead of the stock speaker in the echo.
Wow, that's a pretty amazing deal. The 43" is $10 more than that normally. Wish they had the 55" on sale though, don't want to go down in size.
Well, it has it's own much smaller speaker, so you can use it as a stand alone unit. It also, more importantly to my install, has a basic 3.5mm aux audio output, so I can connect it directly to an input on my stereo.
Youtube got pulled around the first of the year. But if you're planning on installing Kodi, you can install a YT addon in that. Can't do Kodi on Roku.
They "blocked" the youtube app but amazon just runs it's through their silk browser. It's is seemless. You still get the youtube, app square icon, when you click on it, it asks to run it through the silk browser. Click yes and it's the same thing.
my buddy sent me this link over the weekend - haven't tried it yet so YMMV
Cool. I don't really have a need for it. I'll cast from my phone or play it off my PS4 or off a Roku smart TV. Good to see there's a workaround though.
