If you do product research on the web, some say that YouTube TV is not available. IT IS AVAILABLE! You simply go to the website, signup, and download the app to your stick or smart TV.
Suggest you search for discount code online. Mine was easy to find and saved a few bucks. . .
I did a lot of product comparison and settled on thus 2nd Generation Fire Stick. 3rd Gen offered little - for me - to justify the higher price.
We cut the cord with Spectrum and by using YouTube TV and Amazon TV (p/o Prime) for Movies, this couldn't have been a better choice. The learning curve was more of a Mole Hill and my wife learned How To quickly.
The Voice activated remote is fantastic and works well with our TV's. NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED.
Our bill for Spectrum TV + Internet was about $202/mo and if we needed to record two programs we could only watch 1 of those 2. I was told the latest set-top box add the ability to record two and watch other channels. What drove the final change decision was when we looked at a bill. Spectrum added another charge for enhanced sports without our permission. Another $3 that I know we neither requested nor approved. I DETEST SPORTS.
What we find fabulous about YouTube TV is that you can sign in on the website and UNCHECK all the channels you have no interest in. The system has a Library and you simply add your favorite TV programs or movies to the system and the shows are continuously recorded on the cloud. If you select a show to record the system records it and all future shows. NO equipment needed and storage is unlimited.
When I went to local Spectrum store to return the equipment I found that I was being upgraded to from 100 to 200 mbps internet for $45/month for the first year. I was being charged significantly more for the old 100 mbps. link. Guy insisted that my personal modem wouldn't work at 200 mbps. I was sure it did, but not sure if it would work at 400 or 900 mbps. No fee for modem so I took one. Got home and mine was registering 237 Mbps. I did a speed test to a server in Murmansk Russia. Speed was the same. If you need one, the store scans the information and it is automatically set to run when you connect it. It has no wifi...
Back to the subject of Fire Stick. I never realized this, but our smart TV was connected to Spectrum via our wifi system. When I installed the Fire Stick I learned that it requires wifi. I was worried about having to pay for more cable to be installed to other rooms in our house. I now have three cables from wall connectors in my spares box. I had over the air TV with a small antenna on our kitchen TV. Ordered another Fire Stick and got it working the following day. Sound is excellent and video is vastly improved on all sets.
If you don't have wifi cable modem, that is a minor technical issue. Easiest fix is to buy a wireless router and plug it into the modem connection. If you have a cable provider, there is likely an extra charge for the their wifi addition.
Don't plug the power cable into a USB port on the TV. The box comes with a USB charging cable and a SMALL power supply that plugs into the wall. The little stick provides 1,000 milliamps (1 AMP) and it is rare for a TV to accommodate that on a USB port.
Now for the best part, at least for me, We have Prime and live in the D/FW area which is likely why we got this service. When I ordered the first unit it was about 9 PM. The screen pops up and tells me if I order within so many minutes, the unit would be delivered the following morning between 8AM and 11AM. It was ! ! !
I then ordered the second one, for the OTA kitchen TV, the following evening. Same pop-up. This time delivery is scheduled between 4 AM and 6:30 AM. On the way from the bed to the coffee pot I opened the front door and there was the package.
Some who purchased this complained about the stick running hot. Mine doesn't. My philosophy, gained over 55 years of working in electronics and technology, is that if it doesn't burn your fingers, it is ok.
My original review was a bit long winded and seems so long ago now. Probably through the power of updates, all the problems I had stated in my original review have ceased to exist. And it was quite a long time ago that the problems went away, so long that I forgot I even had so many problems with the Fire TV Sticks originally. I had continued to use them through that trouble period and long past it, I have even purchased a 3rd one. I love using them. We have one for every tv in the house. I no longer have any unwarranted connectivity issues, apps function fine and do not freeze or crash, and I can use them continuously for hours with no problems. I never bothered to replace any of my sticks that I had those problems with, so these are still the same exact ones that had all those issues. Clearly recents updates have improved the reliability and user experience and it was just a software issue, not hardware, that was causing those problems. Also since my last review of this product, they’ve updated the interface so I’ll add a new photo. I think I finally just gotten use to the new interface as well. Also gotten a new phone with a better camera since then so better quality photo for ya.
[Original review]
I really want to like these. I have 2 Fire TV Sticks 4k that we’re given to me because my grandmother bought them and didn’t want them. They were unused not even opened. I was so excited and really liked them at first. Even bought a brand new 43” Tv for my bedroom because I don’t have cable in my room so I never needed a tv before. But a month later and both Fire Stick seem to have the same problem.
Both constantly have issue with the internet, but I’ve check the internet and it is fine. Even tried to restart the router and that doesn’t even help. It’s easier to just restart the Fire Stick. Apps crash. Apps freeze. Apps don’t even open. Home screen crashes and keeps reloading. Both Fire Stick do this. I’ve tried clear cache data. Force stopping apps. I’ve restored to factor default. Deleted extra apps. I’ve not used up all the memory on the Fire Stick anyways. I mainly only use 3 apps. PLEX, Pandora, and YouTube and occasionally Prime Video. And the only fix I have is to constantly restart the thing. I shouldn’t have to restart the Fire Stick every 5 minutes and I should be able to watch an entire video without it freezing or listen to more than 3 songs with out pandora just stopping. I’m really disappointed because I really liked them at first and was going to even recommend them over the Roku. But my mother has a Roku in her room and I never hear her complain. I even know people with Fire Sticks and they’ve never complained to me so I don’t know how I could end up with two bad eggs.
I don’t really care for Alex. I don’t have an echo or anything. Voice recognition works until the Fire Stick starts have issues or the internet starts bugging out. It will just say error. If I leave it alone the internet will sometimes sort it self out. It doesn’t disconnect it just claims it’s connect with problem an further says it has no internet connection. But my internet is not out since everything else is working fine. And we don’t use a lot of devices at once in my house.
I’ve tried them on multiple TVs. They are currently connect to my ONN and old Toshiba tv. Was on a old Sharp for a while as well when I had it in the living room. I’ve since decided to have them in the office and my bedroom since it wasn’t getting as much use in the living room and that’s my mothers tv not mine. TV set up was easy. No problems connecting he remote.
When it is streaming it’s fine. Looks good. But then everything freezes. Maybe I get a good hour of solid play time a day then it will start doing it thing and I constantly need to restart the Fire Sticks again and again. It’s like it needs a break. So maybe it’s over heating. I don’t know why though because it’s not in an enclosed space and it doesn’t feel any warmer than your average electronic that running.
To be completely honest I have a gameboy and a ps2 from the early 2000s that are more reliable then these Fire Sticks.
I’m embarrassed to even use these to watch a movie with guest around. I rather use my laptop and connect it with HDMI to the tv.
Sorry. I would have taken better pictures but my phone camera is broken and vibrates like crazy. I tried to show where they are connected and that they are not confined. The White screen is pandora after it froze and I tried to force stop the app and when I launch it I often just get this white screen after the pandora logo and sometimes in the corner it will says some failed error web address thing. And there’s a picture of the internet not working. As well of some picture of it actually working. And all the photos except the first one where taken with in a 10 mins period and in that order showing that pandora was not working, youtube was not working, Internet stoped working, Internet came back (screensaver) then I got my other tv and stuff. So yea. Fun.
