    Default Finally ditching Telus TV - which device(s) for streaming are needed?

    Only reason I have had Telus was for a bundle on a couple internet packages, which I no longer need. Hoping to get some advice on what to buy so I can get rid of Telus Optik all together. I only use it to watch NFL games, and my wife watches a few shows (Good Doctor, Chicago series', Greys etc) Ideally I would like to buy something like the Fire Stick which would have all these shows as they come out, plus Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, and my HBO/Crave.

    what is my best option? 4K as well. The only devices I currently have are a PS4 for Netflix/Amazon. Would like to get something for 4 different TV's.

    thanks!

    Nvidia Shield or the Apple TV for the premium picks
    Firetv 4k stick for the budget choice. All will do everything listed there

    If you're leaning towards the firetv sticks then wait until black friday.

    Hardware wise I love my Roku Stick+. I find it way more responsive and nicer to use than the built in smart capabilities of my TV and it does 4k.

    For apps I pretty much rely on Netflix for most shows, although briefly had Hulu and now Disney+ for a bit. Sometimes I'll sub and binge a few shows then cancel since there isn't a lot I wanna see. For NHL I used to do center ice and then you can use a DNS service to get around most blackouts (Just google it), I imagine NFL would probably be the same. When my dad visits he always complained about not getting the news so I picked up a cheap digital antenna so I can throw on the 6 oclock news when he visits. I get like 3 channels but whatever, pretty minor to make him happy.
