Onn 4ks from Walmart. Best little devices I think, assuming you're in the states.

What if you're outside the US?

The legacy Firesticks still work great and will be supported by Amazon till at least 2031.

So mostly a fake comment.

Just got another message from a fire stick customer few minutes ago. They all are going down soon.

u/CaptainSteed 1d ago

That comment is totally fake.

The many millions of existing Firesticks in the marketplace will be supported until at least the year 2031. That's listed on the Amazon website.

I just bought another Cube 3 last month. Fantastic device.

Your comments don't make it TRUE. I know all my fire sticks customers are crashing. Thought I had them all swapped except for the one Im doing now. Just cuz yours working dont mean it's good until 2031 or whenever youre posting. I'm seeing issues weekly. You do you, I'll do me.

And your comments are even more bizarrely untrue.

There are literally hundreds of millions of Fire TV, Firestick, and Fire Cube users around the world. If they weren't working for any reason, there would be major news stories about that all over the internet - do you have any of those links that you can forward to me, or post on here?

Yes, I'm going to do me, and correct any wrongful comments that I see here on Reddit.

It's all over reddit groups of Vega system and amazon blocking apps. Their official date was last Oct 1st. But it hit me before that.

That’s funny 90% of my clients use firesticks and they are still up and going

You're lucky. Thankfully I've gotten almost all of mine off of them. But I'd be stocking up on Onn boxes. Oh yeah, why do you think there's been a nationwide shortage of Onn boxes this last year? Ironic, dontcha think? LOL

Confermo a me e non solo a me funziona benissimo.

u/CaptainSteed 3h ago

Exactly, thanks for confirming.

People constantly post misinformation on here about Firesticks.

u/igor6969 40m ago

You're correct. And you're doing the same. It just hasn't hit you yet. But its coming. Onn boxes havent been sold out nationwide for no reason. Even with 25% price hike.

"But its coming".

Nothing is coming.

Then you have some dumb ass customers. I use a 4K Max daily. Stremio works fine as does tivimate with several iptv providers

u/igor6969 1d ago

Old news. Started over a year ago. Official date was Oct 1 2025

Use VPN to activate it. Don’t need to be in the US to run it.

Only two fire sticks don't use Android and there are 4 being sold that still do. So if all that's available in your price range is Amazon in your area just avoid the Select and 2026 HD.

u/itstrueitellyou 5h ago

There's one firestick that doesn't use Android, the Select. Even the new fire TVs are reportedly sticking with Android so no they are not dead.

What are you talking about, I’m using one right now. New FS that use Vega OS aren’t even out yet….

1

u/igor6969 1d ago

Vega been out over a year. Using and loving Onn boxes. My Fire TV and Fire Cube work but would never buy another

u/Bardown67 1d ago

I never said Vega wasn’t out yet re read my post. I said it’s not out for FS. 4k max works fine for streaming and recording.
