Add The New York Post on Google If you’ve found yourself thinking that the cost of streaming services is increasing too quickly, you’re not alone.
As a streaming reporter, I’ve found some surprising good news, however; the world of free streaming has expanded an impressive amount over the past few years. There are a lot of services with legitimately great free offerings that are actually completely free.
And yes, you can watch them right on your TV. Here’s how.
The first thing you’re going to need to do is head over to Amazon and shop the early Prime Big Deal Days sale (October Prime Day returns Oct. 6 and 7!).
Add one of its 60% off Fire TV streaming sticks to your cart while Amazon Prime Day is still going strong. The Fire TV Stick 4K Select, currently priced at $17.99, is a great option, especially at this price.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select delivers crisp 4K Ultra HD streaming with support for Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and immersive Dolby Atmos audio. Positioned between the entry-level HD model and the premium 4K Max, it offers excellent picture quality and performance and is the best option for most streamers.
Once it gets delivered (and if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you’ll get it as early as later tonight), all that’s left to do is set it up.
Of course, you can download and sign into all of the streaming services you already pay for — whether that’s Paramount+, Disney+ or Apple TV — the Fire TV Stick delivers all of those and more.
But if you’re looking for this fast and free method we speak of, you’re going to want to download Tubi, Pluto, The Roku Channel and even some paid services like Prime Video, DIRECTV, and Sling, which have tons of free titles and channels available subscription-free.
These streaming libraries are vast, full of acclaimed titles and you typically won’t even need an account to start streaming. If you choose to make free accounts, though, you’ll be able to create watchlists and save your streaming progress.
(Personally, I’d recommend firing up “Adults” Season 1 and “The Philadelphia Story” for free on Tubi.)
This Fire TV stick is Amazon’s most affordable streaming stick, offering Full HD (1080p) streaming and Alexa Voice Remote functionality, but without the 4K, HDR, and faster performance features found in the Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Stick 4K Max models.
The 4K Plus builds on the standard 4K model with a faster processor, stronger Wi-Fi 6E support and enhanced smart home controls, delivering smoother streaming and better connectivity for demanding home entertainment setups.
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is Amazon’s fastest and most powerful streaming stick, featuring Wi-Fi 6E, increased storage and superior performance for faster app launches, smoother navigation, and support for advanced 4K HDR streaming and cloud gaming.
The Amazon Fire TV Cube combines the power of a premium 4K streaming device with a built-in hands-free Alexa smart speaker, offering the fastest Fire TV performance plus voice control of your TV, streaming, and smart home devices without needing the remote.
