    Technology wise...get something only designed and engineered to stream.  Streaming was just an afterthought on a cable-box to thwart subscribers from cancelling cable TV.  A cable-box does a lots of things but none very well.  Roku, for example, is only designed to stream and it decodes very well because it has a better chipset.

    I'll assume Prime is a very good content-provider; however, when something goes wrong, their customer service stinks.  It was the same with SiriusXM so I cancelled my subscription.  Netflix is #1 on your list because Netflix only streams.
