You don't need cable to use this stick. All you need is Internet. My house doesn't have cable, satellite, or other wired source of video. We have a TV antenna that gets us local channels. You can get content using Amazon Prime - some of which is available at no charge. You can use Pluto (ask Alexa to find Pluto, and then install it) for a variety of content. You can subscribe to Sling and get many of the channels that are offered by cable providers - all over the Internet. (Sling allows you to view on three devices at once - your TV, your phone, your computer(?)). You can also add Mobdro and Kodi. Most Amazon (.APK) programs will work with this Fire TV Stick -- just don't overload it with stuff you don't need or won't use. Again - no need for cable - it can all be done over the Internet (as long as you have WiFi)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, yes and YES. I am using the Amazon Fire TV Stick to cut the cable. The Fire Stick attaches to a HDMI port on your TV. You must have a wireless network available for the Fire Stick to log on. You log on like you would your cell phone. If you subscribe to video streamers like Amazon Prime, Hulu or Netflix, these apps are already install. Just click, sign in and watch. There is a free app that makes your TV an online media center. There are video people on the famous video website that will give you set by step instructions. Happy watching.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes but you need good Wifi.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes! We use it on our second TV that is just plugged into the wall and can take it when we travel!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, Internet access is all that you need. Certain apps for different networks will require a cable subscription login to access though. Basics like Amazon, Netflix, Hulu etc just require internet access and an account with them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. That is the great part about the stick. It plugs into the USB port (and I suggest using the power adapter that comes with it). As long as you have wireless internet, it will work fine.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You only need an internet connection. Cable is not necessary. Great product. I recommend it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes that's correct. I just pay for wifi myself
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as you are connected to the wifi it works without the cable because it doesn't need cable tv to work.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
