Title: Great for streaming
Review: I have had Firesticks for several years now and they are a very good option for streaming. The first few sticks I had didn’t last as long as the newer versions but that is likely due to advances in technology. It comes with all the things you need to get it up and running immediately, even batteries for the remote.The OS is user friendly and works very well. It makes sense how its laid out is easy to navigate. Something else I like about it is that it is an android based OS so there are developer options which allow you more opportunity for customizing your experience.In the past the most common issues Ive had with it are the OS slowing down. There is 5gb of internal storage on it and it can get bogged down if you have a lot going on. Over time I notice there is a delay in the responsiveness to remote commands. Resetting the device does improve the lagging for a short period of time but it isn’t a permanent fix and it never goes back to how it ran when it was brand new…just a little less lag.In my experience these devices will last several years before needing to be replaced. In my opinion, that is a great bang for your buck. Something else great about them is that you can find them on sale all throughout the year on amazon. There are also numerous areas for support on the amazon site as well as live customer service to help if you need it. I have used other streaming devices before but keep coming back to these.One side note….we have phillps hue ecosystem for our lights and use the hue sync box to control the lights to match the colors on the screen. We bought the 4k stick and it wasn’t compatible with the hue sync box. Our sync box is several years old so perhaps the newer ones have a patch that fixes the issue but we weren’t able to use the 4k stick with our hue sync box. The HD stick works just fine with our setup. I will say that there was a noticeable picture and audio quality difference with the 4k stick, but not being able to work with our lights was a deal breaker for me.Overall I would recommend this device for anyone. It’s affordable and works great for all of our needs.

Title: The Ultimate Streaming Companion!
Review: I’ve been using the Amazon Fire TV Stick for over two years now, and I can confidently say it’s a game-changer for anyone who loves streaming entertainment. The picture quality is nothing short of sharp and vibrant; every movie and show I watch feels like an immersive experience.Streaming is incredibly fast with minimal buffering, allowing me to jump right into my favorite content without any frustrating delays. The best part? The Fire TV Stick gives access to free and live TV options, making it great for both binge-watching and catching up on the latest news or sports events.The Alexa Voice Remote is a standout feature for me. I love being able to control my TV with simple voice commands—whether I’m searching for a specific show or adjusting the volume, it makes everything feel seamless. Plus, the remote’s TV control capabilities mean I can ditch multiple remotes and streamline my viewing experience.Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my Fire TV Stick. It continuously enhances my entertainment setup while offering a wide variety of content. Highly recommend it to anyone considering a streaming device!

Title: Exceeded all my expectations
Review: I replaced an older generation FireTV device which had a remote without a volume control. I was hoping that that I could control the volume to my older Sharp Aquos TV, connected to an older Vizio Soundstand. My expectations were tempered because although the TV has and HDMI ARC port, the Vizio Soundstand (soundbar) did not. So I have been using a TOSLink optical cable from the TV to the Soundstand. This has required me to have to use not two but three remote controls: One for the FireTV, one for the TV itself, and one for the Vizio. I had my TV settings applied for being able to variably control the volume to an external soundbar, but it just does not work with an optical cable–which I was reluctant to part with. The option would have been RCA cables, but still I would have had to use the TV Remote for volume.What I discovered about this 3rd Generation Fire Stick1) It seems to be much snappier in terms of navigating the menus.2) The volume control works to control the TV volume, when I switched the soundbar from an optical to RCA analog connection. Adjusting the volume on the FireTV remote displayed the volume level right on the TV.3) The power button on the FireTV remote powers off and on the TV.4) After this, I discovered that I could add the soundbar to the FireTV by going to Settings>Equipment Control>Add Equipment>Soundbar. In this menu you can choose your soundbar manufacturer, and Vizio thankfully was in the list of choices.5) What I learned by doing step 4 was that now the FireTV stick volume control was controlling the volume directly to the soundbar, not through the TV. This made me realize that the RCA cables were likely no longer necessary, so I pulled them and reinstalled the optical cable.All of the above now means that I can now power on and off the TV, FireTV, and soundbar with just one press of the power button on the FireTV remote, and use the one single remote to also adjust the volume. A home run. especially given Prime Day pricing.
