1) I plugged the Fire stick into my TV and put the batteries into the remote control,
2) the Fire stick started itself, asked which WiFi network is mine, then asked me to enter the WiFi password using the remote control. It then said it was connected to the internet,
3) the Fire stick downloaded updates and restarted itself, which took 10 minutes,
4) to log in to my Amazon account, the Fire stick asked me to go to the amazon.com/code website on my computer and enter the code that it displayed on my TV, which was very easy. Now the Fire Stick was logged into my Amazon account,
5) Lastly, it played music and asked me to check that the volume control on the remote control worked, and it did.
Done. I was playing a TV show with this device less than 20 minutes after opening the package. The TV image and audio are very clear and it loaded the show quickly.
Also, the remote control is small and has exactly what you need, without all the unnecessary buttons on my TV remote. The buttons turn the TV on/off, adjust volume up/down (including a mute button), fast-forward/rewind, and holding down the speaker button lets you provide verbal commands to Alexa.
This is an excellent device at an affordable price.
I suppose with TVs becoming computers, I shouldn't be surprised by the fact that the makers are treating them as such, and expecting you to upgrade every few years. But when you spend a big bucks on a big TV, it's a bummer to know that in a couple years it is no longer supported.
Amazon to the rescue. These handy HDMI sticks will revitalize an old TV. I had recently repaired an old LG a friend donated to me. It's a big beautiful TV and I just couldn't throw it out even though it wasn't showing a picture anymore. So I fixed it, but being from 2013, it didn't have built-in Wi-Fi, the apps were old, and you couldn't get newer apps for it. The Fire TV Stick 2020 for standard HD was the perfect solution for every single issue I just mentioned.
First, it provides Wi-Fi connectivity. And it works pretty well. My comparisons from experience are the Boxee Box (a failure: the developers abandoned everyone after taking their money), and the Tivo 4K Stream. The Tivo is actually really nice, when it works. It has problems with consistent performance and buffers a lot (possibly my Wi-Fi's fault) and its apps crash a LOT (not my fault).
So far the Amazon Fire TV Stick blows them all away. I have to admit the Boxee remote with the integrated keyboard on back was nice, but in every other respect Fire TV blows the others away. It's super affordable, compact, performs well, has a great remote, gets plenty of the apps, has voice support, and you can find lots of useful accessories for it.
My Fire TV Stick is running on the same Wi-Fi as the Tivo 4K Stream and rarely buffers and I've not had app crashes. Since the TV I have it on is regular HD, it's a perfect match. Amazon does have a 4K Fire TV Stick if your TV supports the higher resolution.
I really want to support competition, but so far the Amazon competitors aren't being competitive! If you have an older TV like mine with an HDMI port, but doesn't have Wi-Fi or can't get the newer apps, this is the answer.
The only thing I can figure is the new Fire TV Stick scanned for other Fire TV Sticks over an alternate WiFi channel, connected to an older Fire TV Stick we have, and retrieved the account and connection information. If so, this is brilliant!
As for the TV pairing, I suspect that while it was transmitting different audio tones during setup, it was transmitting different TV remote audio control commands while the remote microphone was listening for volume changes. When it sensed a change, it had found the correct TV remote encoding. Again, brilliant!
Setup can not get any easier than this. It works great!
EDIT: Upon further research, I found that Amazon can save your account and WiFi credentials in the cloud to automatically connect new devices, so perhaps this information was configured into the device when ordered.
