Streaming help!

OK - I have what may seem like a VERY stupid question but I have to ask.

I'm resigned now to having to stream. I have a Smart TV in my living room but my workout room, half the basement, has a regular TV. We just bought a Sony BluRay streaming box, which I love but I have no clue how to add apps for different streaming services.

The main services I want to stream are Cathe and Studio Sweat on Demand. Anybody?

Thanks so much!
Diane

All I found was this:

Do you have an Amazon firestick? I know they have the Cathe app. I can check for studio sweat on demand.
On SSOD's site it says they are on Amazon Fire tv, so I think you can stream it through the firestick.

I use Les Mills on demand through it, and it works fine.

Hi Sherry!

Thanks for your response. I don't have an Amazon Firestick and honestly had to look it up as I wouldn't have a clue how to use it! However, it seems pretty simple, no?

As far as adding apps, I have tried and nothing that I'm interested in comes up. It doesn't even have an area to add the URL for the app. I honestly don't know what good these streaming boxes are if you can't add the apps you want. I guess my question (to myself) has been why you have to keep buying specific gadgets to get specific apps? Money is probably the answer!

It is really frustrating! We bought the firestick because the sony blu ray we bought around 2011 stopped supporting the you tube, hulu and Netflix apps that were installed on it. We did not want to have to buy a new tv or blu ray. The firestck was the cheapest option. They are very easy to install, and I am technology challenged!

Here is a link to the fitness apps on the firestick. Cathe is on the second page.

It is so frustrating!!! Thank you so much for all your help, Sherry!!!!

I'm going to spend my stay-at-home time reading up on all this and finding what will work for me.
