Being an Amazon device, the Fire Stick fittingly comes with access to Prime Video, but also lets you buy and rent films and TV from Amazon whether you are a Prime member or not.

Along with Prime, the other major streaming services available on the stick are Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, and Now. In terms of catch-up services, BBC iPlayer, ITVX, All 4, My 5, and UKTV Play are all supported by the device, as well as internet giant YouTube.

Music lovers can also stream songs through Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify, watch music videos on Vevo and listen to radio from all over the world with TuneIn Radio.

There are also plenty more obscure video channels - Pluto TV streams 40 'live' channels for those who miss channel-hopping in the Netflix age. Twitch lets you watch gaming live streams, Plex lets you watch your own video files and Vimeo is YouTube's video-sharing competitor. You can get inspired by a talk from TED TV, or get more physical with the boxing channel BoxNation.

There's also plenty of apps and utilities, from Facebook to Audible to Just Eat to Silk Web Browser.
