I was looking for a streaming box to run kodi and some emulators since my amazon fire tv was running pretty slow. I saw this nvidia shield and read the reviews so i decided to give ut a try. This little box is amazing! No lag during streaming. Even when running kodi. Also i can stream my pc games since i have an nvidia graphics card in my pc. Also i comes with a controller and a separate remote and there was a promotion for a second controller free. I didnt know aboutthis promo until i picked up the system at my local best buy and i was given an additional controller. I also plugged in an external hard drive i had in my house and since its running android 6 marshmallow i was able to expand the storage as internal storage. Awesome!!! You cant go wrong with this little machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this phone to replace an LG G3. I was very disappointed with the G3 especially since I was coming from an iPhone 5 and the G3 was my first android phone. The G3 wasn't working and I needed to replace it. I didn't want to do the ATT next plan so I decided to pay for the phone instead of doing the installment plan. The galaxy s6 edge happened to be on sale for $399 so I decided to give it a try. Boy am I happy I did. This phone is really fast. The super AMOLED screen is beautiful and super clear even outside on a sunny day I don't have a problem viewing it. Touchwiz has gotten so much better and I actually prefer it over stock android. The phone design is beautiful. All glass and metal construction. The one thing I wish was better is battery life. Since the phone only has a 2600 mAh battery. For some people this could be a problem but once ATT decides to release Android 6.0 marshmallow update for the S6 edge this wont be as much of an issue due to marshmallow having a feature called Doze which greatly improves battery consumption. To me this along with the new galaxy s7 are the best android smartphones out on the market. I would have liked to have the new S7 edge but at almost half the price of a galaxy S7 edge this phone is just too good to pass up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

 Amazon - Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote - Black
Amazon - Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote - Black
Amazon Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote: Amazon Fire TV Stick is a compact streaming device that packs a punch. Plug into your TV using the HDMI interface and instantly access thousands of TV shows, movies, songs and games. With Alexa voice search function, you can find your favorites or get sports and weather updates quickly and easily.
 

I have Netflix. Would I also need a subscription to Hulu, to work. Or will they both work as long as I subscribe to one or the other.

They are two completetly different companies. Hulu has a free version but its very limited. Netflix is subscription only. They are both around the same price. You will need to subscribe to both to take full advantage of each. It will cost you between $10 and $12 for each. So between $20 to $24. I prefer netflix because hulu has ads even if you have a paid subscription.

Will the stick work from a mobile hot spot? I am thinking of using a fire stick camping but there is no wifi in the camp ground.

It depends. If you are using a public wifi hotspot owned by a business, you will get a browser window and have to click accept to connect to the hotspot. If this happens you might not be able to connect because the firetv doesnt have a browser. Amazon supposedly added software to bypass this during one of their updates but i havent tried it yet.

Can you download the Fios Mobile app to the Firestick. My wife would like to watch redorded TV on a TV where no Fios Box is, a new ourchase I would like to make. If it works I will buy a smart tv, and the firestick

Theres a way to sideload apps from the google play store to the firestick. Since its running a modified version of android it should be able to run most apps but not all. Do a google search for "how to sideload apps to firetv".

plasma tvs

which is best plasma or led
Plasma has the advantage as far a black colors but LED is brighter and better at handling glare. It really doesn't matter since most manufacturers don't make plasma TV's anymore. Plasma TV's are not going to be sold anymore. However Pioneer Kuro plasma TV's from almost 10 years ago have some of the best picture on any tv even now. you can find them on amazon and ebay but they are extremely expensive. some can go for $5k to even $10k.
