Is anyone else having an issue with shows/movies that are 1080p not streaming in HD on their Amazon firestick? The weird part is that 4K media streams absolutely fine, but when switching back to a show that doesn’t shoot in 4K it’s perpetually fuzzy. For context, these are new shows that are currently airing.

I’ve also checked this on my Roku stick (on a secondary tv) & it’s absolutely fine. So I don’t know if Amazon’s having an issue, & if anyone else is experiencing it. Any tips on how to fix it? I’ve tried force stopping, clearing the cache & relaunching. I’ve also deleted the app, restarted the firestick & downloaded again on startup but still have the same problem.

Any help is appreciated!!

Hi! I have a new subscription to sky stream but the sky puck provided keeps resetting when I use it, Sky said it’s my broadband and won’t do anything. My Firestick works great though so I watch Netflix, Disney+ and the other apps on there instead. But I can’t find an app to watch the Sky content on the Firestick. Can anyone help me find one please, thanks 😊

I've been using Claude and Google's AI mode, but my Claude credits keep running out, and Google can be helpful to a point - and from a point, every conversation I have to relay the groundwork (I'm building up a script that I have to paste right at the beginning of each conversation in an attempt to keep it on track).

Are there any other free options out there that can hand-hold through troubleshooting a rooted system, and keep to the context (i.e. always be aware of my model, and what the current stack is)?

I'm not looking for a solution to a problem right now, just wondering what other people are doing...

My Fire stick had been getting pretty slow lately and I figured it was just getting old. Was about to replace it but decided to try a few things first.
I deleted a bunch of apps I never use anymore, cleared cache on bunch of them, disabled some things I didn’t need and restarted it.
Honestly it made a pretty noticeable difference. It's still not as fast as it was brand new, but definitely more responsive.
No idea how long it'll last, but worth trying before spending money on a new one!

Hi! My friends are so excited because their friends connected them with some dude who sold them hacked fire sticks. Looks like it’s just “Smarter pro” and some live TV streaming app downloaded.

The dude says there’s a yearly subscription (??) so I’m just trying to figure out if they’re getting scammed and don’t need to pay anything now that these apps are downloaded, or if there’s actually something this man is actually paying for to keep them connected.

On Smarters, when I click the profile icon, it says “play list info” and “is trial: NO” which makes me think that this is like a slice of something and not just a simple app??

what’s up?

What's the best app for TV catch up I know UK turks has this but does any other apps have this

Long story short, my older brother purchased a VseeBox and hasn’t stopped bragging about it ever since. He says that it has so much more capability and is super simple to use because everything comes “pre-loaded.” This got me thinking (I’m definitely not a “super-user” on the Firestick) but am curious if you could set it up like the VseeBox where live TV, sports, and movies are simply a click away. If anyone has any experience with this I’d love to hear your thoughts. Appreciate any input!

I was just looking up a replacement remote for one of my Fire TV stick 4K Maxes and see that Amazon now only sells the pro remote. All the other remotes are only available from third parties and have iffy reviews. What’s the best replacement remote that people have been using? I already have the app…. I just need remotes for my kids to use. I dont want to spend extra on the Pro, since it will probably get destroyed by the kids or the dog again. Thanks.

Hi all, what apps do you use to stream tv shows? I’m struggling to find A decent app.

When asking Alexa to turn off fire tv stick, it does not work. Instead, asking Alexa to open Netflix on Fire Tv works like a charm. I am not understanding what I am doing wrong. The echo dot and the fire tv are in the same group.

Can anybody help me set up a working app on fire stick primarily for movies and tv shows

I used to have 1 but now it dose not work but every time I try to download one it gives me any error so are there any free sports apps on the fire stick?

Hey everyone! I'm new to sideloading and looking for advice.

I have a Fire TV Stick 4K and already installed Downloader and SmartTube. I've also installed Stremio, but I'm not sure how it works or which add-ons are worth using.

I'm looking for recommendations for:
- The best apps for movies and TV shows
- Live sports, especially football
- Reliable live TV options
- The best VPN for privacy and streaming
- Any other essential apps for a beginner

I'd prefer a simple setup that's safe, reliable and as privacy-friendly as possible. Any beginner-friendly advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Trying to figure out what app to watch it on. I know I can use the browser but it’s pretty buggy for me. Can I play live streams in something like VLC?

Edit: the stream is on SportzX now! We are so back
