✨2023 – EXCELLENT FiRESTiCK 4K MAXX STREAMING PRODUCT, CONNETION VIA WiFi 6, EASE OF USE customizable MENU – Can get a special price if you upgrade from your old to newer model✨
🎇PROs :
1. Ability to use captive portal internet. Currently the tvOS on the AppleTV does not allow for this unless you go through a process to spoof the MAC address of a device on the captive portal or somehow get a hold of the internet provider’s help desk to have them add the MAC address. A “dance” I successfully completed once but by the time I was complete it was too late to watch anything.
2. Ease of use – PnP HDMI port and power via the Micro USB port to power adapter.
Then sign into your Amazon account to customize.
3. Picture / Streaming speed is excellent on both 4K and 1080P
4. Responsive when going through menus and applications – caveat, if there is enough storage available
to make memory and swap cache available.
5. Main screen is customizable to set your favorite applications there. Especially helpful if you have in
kids room.
6. You can add/use a remote app to your iPhone or android device if you like to control your Firestick
from your phone which is pretty fun & cool if u like other apps.
🔴CONs :
1. Only has storage amount of 8GB ??? It’s 2023 Amazon could afford to add a adapter or more storage
to these devices without adding much to the cost. Even 16GB of flash storage would have been great!
2. Not being able to easily close down applications to make more RAM and storage available for apps wanted. This device is running Amazon’s version of Android, but even a quick way to shut down or uninstall applications from the remote would be convenient & useful.
3. All of the privacy settings are automatically set to “ALLOW” – location, watching history, targeted ads, application downloads etc. You have to go into EVERY application as well as the SETTINGs for the device and the application setting on the device to TURN ALL OF THIS OFF. Unless you really “DIG” into the settings are kinda hidden which is the point as Amazon makes a ton of money off of SELLING DATA provided by the device and applications to 3rd parties.
4. The constantly running ads in the main interface and now the ads that pop-up when using live streaming applications like DirectTV Stream. We’ve come accept commercials are annoying enough when watching broadcast TV but an ad that takes over the screen in the middle of the program is a bit too far.
5. No geo-location ability. This means applications that have the ability to “LOCATE” where it is based on the IP address of the internet will automatically know which channels to load (or allow you to “spoof” your location with a VPN). If this is not present services like DirectTV Stream default to the billing zip code and you are locked to the channels for your billing zip code.
5. Updates are a PITA. Update notifications are given ( how many ? what for? ). Usually it takes 4-7 attempts to check for and run all of the updates. . Backing out of the update, restarting the device and running the scan for updates then shows the update completed and another update is showing. This is a common theme with all Android based devices.
CONCLUSION:
It is a excellent little 4k device that get the job done , unit runs very smooth surprisingly even with stock apps, just hopefully in future updates give user optional control to uninstall / stop running apps not wanted or used to free up RAM space. Definitely recommend getting 1 or 2 if you dont have a smart tv or want a external 4k streaming device capable of running over WiFi6 technology.

I have an IT background, so installing this thing should have been extremely easy. However, I had issues with Wi-Fi connectivity. We had an ok signal, given that the router is a bit far from the room we use this in. However, the speeds were incredibly slow. The device would also lose connection to the remote and render the thing useless. The only thing that would work would be to disconnect the power, and it would still buffer and eventually lose the remote again. After quite a bit of troubleshooting, I determined that the signal to noise ratio was very poor. Something was interfering with it. That something turned out to be my TV. Power cables will have the same interference. Now I have solved it. The device is FARTHER away from the router now, but it is removed from the source of the interference, so it now functions as expected. Your mileage may vary, but if you have trouble with it try getting an HDMI cable and a female-female coupler so you can move the device far enough away from other electronics. Walmart was out of stock of the coupler so instead of a $5 coupler I spent $35 on a 4 way HDMI switch, but I figure I’ll use the extra functionality anyway. This product lost 1 star because of the incredible hassle required to set it up. Also, it has support for Wi-Fi v6, and my router is not v6 capable. As with any standard, the device is backward compatible. I only mention it because you may have much more success if you have a newer router, I can’t say. I wish the fire stick could let me force the choice between 2.4ghz or 5ghz because there was no interference on the 2.4ghz spectrum. I was simply not going to reconfigure my router for one device.

I feel that Alexa/Amazon is anti-God because of their exclusionary practice of not having Trinity Broadcast Network TBN (as a network), of Many shows & productions it brings together many faith-based programs.
I’ve not been able to see any of them recently, and I can only assume that if you worship SATAN you may not find any programming that honors Satan. In these times of our open borders, giving everyone the opportunity to look into different beliefs is critical and those that hate that opportunity are not as inclusive as they want you to believe. I want everyone to have that opportunity and Amazon/fire TV
could save many lives from suicide by having this choice of TBN network as a pre-installed Application
on the FireStick as well as on the Fire Televisions. After All let us all be truely inclusive.
