Anybody experience streaming from a Mac or iPad/iPhone to the FireStick yet? I download content onto my devices when I travel because of the wifi scenarios above. It would still be nice to have the Firestick so that i'm not reduced to watching movies on my iPad/iPhone.
If the hotel WiFi is too slow to stream, you'd likely need to use your own device as a hotspot.
So you have the option of using your own data, which is sometimes cheaper than hotel fast WiFi.
Not sure how well the fire stick handles local media at all. Haven't tried.
