Best streaming device for boxing

[Syncshadowz]

Hello, we usually stream the boxing via a laptop on to the tv but keeps green screening, tested on my pc and it's fine so we are looking to get a device for it, would an Amazon 4k stick be sufficient?

Where do you stream the boxing from? 

An Amazon 4K Firestick allows you to download streaming apps so as long as the boxing you want to watch is streamed via an app which is available on the Firestick then you'll be fine. Firesticks are excellent (and cheap) little devices which function well. 

If the content you want to watch does not come from an app-based source and is streamed direct from a website then you may struggle. Firesticks do have web browsers but they can be restricted in the types of video format they can stream within a browser. 

Amazon are great with returns so you can always buy one, try it out and return it if it doesn't work.

I think Argos have a £15 saving on Firesticks at the moment. Not sure if it's on all versions/4K though. 

I always take mine on business trips/going away. Hotel TV can be awful

Hello,

 We purchase the stream from Sky box office, i think its the sky app it uses.

Thanks

The Sky Box Office app is not available on Firestick. 

You may be able to side-load it from and Android apk source but there's no guarantee it'll work.

Would you know what devices do support the app?

A Now TV smart stick will run the Sky box office app.

At a vastly inflated price due to it being no longer manufactured. It is NOT worth £63, and was available for about £20 a couple of years ago.

Still listed on the RoI version of the NowTV website at 25 Euros.

Mind you, given which way sterling is going that's probably about£50 tonight ; (
