Weird , they only talked about PKK and ISIS , never mentioned the regime . <| sep |> Fire Stick is the better option if have Prime and enjoy watching Amazon Prime videos . There ' s no easy way to do that on Chromecast . Otherwise , the app selection is pretty similar . The difference is more about the interface . With Chromecast you use your phone or tablet or desktop Chrome browser as the remote , launching videos on the big screen through apps like Netflix . Fire TV has a proper remote and onscreen interface . I think navigating on the phone is a bit faster , especially since the Fire TV Stick hardware is a tad sluggish , but it ' s not for everyone . Re Live TV , not all of the cableauthenticated apps offer it , but some do . If you want to watch a full selection of channels live without cable you ' ll want to subscribe to PlayStation Vue or Sling TV .
