I recently got my kids a TV for their playroom and set up their Xbox to where they can stream Netflix, play games and watch movies in the playroom and not hog the living room TV. By doing so, I have lost the ability to stream to my living room TV.

I have done limited reading up on the two options but wanted y'all to give your opinion as well as ask, do you have to have an Amazon account that you pay for monthly to operate these? I really only want it for Netflix & Youtube at least for now. Fire away, appreciate it!
