It needs wifi, so kind of if you make your laptop go into a wifi reciever mode
But you can do that, search for turning laptop into a hotspot (or router) and you'll see. Does your phone have wifi? If you can set your laptop up as a hotspot/router and connect to it with your phone, you can probably get it to work. But it needs a fair bit of bandwidth so you'd have to watch your data if that's an issue. |

suppose. many thanks. |

If you have a phone that does wifi or another laptop or tablet with wifi, you could test it all now.

What are you getting it for? I've had a play with both and if it's just for free stuff (iPlayer etc) then I preferred the Now TV box you can get for £15 new. And it does 4od, the amazon one currently doesnt.

just had a reply back from a seller on ebay and apparently you can run a firestick from my computer but they said it would hammer
my data allowance . http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2065413.m570.l1311.R1.TR3.TRC1.A0.H1.Xfirestick.TRS0&_nkw=fire+stick&_sacat=0 these are what i was intrested in. |

Hacked fire sticks are great but they are correct will eat data

seems right moneytree, i have just checked about on google and it seems the firesticks are ok if you have unlimited data.
from what i gather it can use as much as 1gb per hour  which at that rate it wouldnt take long to use my monthlyallowance. ( 5gb ). thanks for your help lads. |
