    Why do they still sell this

      My thoughts as well. It is frustrating to see Amazon Au flogging old models here and new models only being available on the US site.

    How come we can't get the 4k fire stick?

    • urbancartel on 29/03/2019 - 14:36

      Get one on eBay $108 with PROUD promo - i've sideloaded Kayo Sports and Amazon Prime video & you can also sideload KODI etc

      • Dowhatuwant on 29/03/2019 - 14:38

        Hey dude, can you PM me with info on how to sideload kodi and the channels you use specifically?

        • urbancartel on 29/03/2019 - 14:40
          +1

          I've only done Kayo and Prime (Netflix 4K works out of the box) I haven't done KODI as i don't use it but you can find heaps of info on Whirlpool forum ;)

      • deelaroo on 29/03/2019 - 14:42

        Does AU Prime Video work??

        • urbancartel on 29/03/2019 - 14:45

          Yep - although not on the App that comes with the device - you have to sideload it… PM me if you need more info

        • pyr0maniac on 29/03/2019 - 22:56

          Also no 4k content on the Prime app using this method. Correct me if I'm wrong urbancartel

      • redcreek200 on 29/03/2019 - 14:45

        Is youtube available ? It was removed a year or so ago and I'm not sure it they restored it.

        • urbancartel on 29/03/2019 - 14:46

          Not sure - although I think you could easily add the APK… might give it a try when I get a chance

          • redcreek200 on 29/03/2019 - 14:49

            @urbancartel: Thanks. I was going to buy the latest model but held off when I read older reports that youtube was pulled. If youtube can be made to work, then it's back into consideration :)

            • Sirajs on 29/03/2019 - 14:59

              @redcreek200: you can sideload youtube and any app you want from downloader app and file linked app. you can even root it if you want lot of articles on XDA and web :)

              its a great device, i have 2nd Gen firestick from overseas.

        You had to side load Amazon prime onto an Amazon fire stick?

        • urbancartel on 29/03/2019 - 14:48

          Yeah basically as it's designed for US market the native App won't play Amazon Prime AU so you have to add a new APK that will play your Amazon Prime AU subscription ;)

          • asa79 on 29/03/2019 - 15:00

            @urbancartel: Does it update or do you have to keep replacing it

            • urbancartel on 29/03/2019 - 15:03

              @asa79: I've only had one for about a week - I don't think it would require updates but I'm not 100%

          • skywalka on 29/03/2019 - 19:28

            @urbancartel: Does the US app work too?

            • urbancartel on 29/03/2019 - 20:51
              +1

              @skywalka: I've read that it can be done but you need to go down the VPN route (I guess the way that people access US Netflix etc) haven't done it personally

    • PlasticSpaceman on 29/03/2019 - 14:41

      OR frankly the fire stick with Alexa voice remote built in. Maybe the price is reduced because they are clearing stock? Never know….

      I for one just use my Xbox to play prime video…. and by Prime video I pretty much mean (after having a Sharknado-thon) the Grand Tour, although I am hoping that "Good Omens" is as good as the book….

      • paaj on 29/03/2019 - 16:45

        The Widow is pretty good too

    Junk that they can't sell in the US trying to offload here. Don't buy this, all you're doing is affirming their sentinemt that we are a giant tip. It's insulting that we don't get at least the 4K Fire TV Stick let alone the other Fire TV devices.

    • asa79 on 29/03/2019 - 14:47

      These were made for outside us regions that didn't have echo support at the time

      • redcreek200 on 29/03/2019 - 14:52

        This model used to be sold in the US. Now obsolete there :)

    Basic is overpriced for what it is

  • willturner on 29/03/2019 - 14:58

    Can u install other apk on this?

    • Sirajs on 29/03/2019 - 15:00

      yes

  • fozzie on 29/03/2019 - 15:07

    Why would you buy this or even newer one? Mibox 2 so much better and cheaper. We have 3 in my house

    • redcreek200 on 29/03/2019 - 15:22

      This or other similar streaming sticks (roku) are far more compact.

    • DeluxeBull on 29/03/2019 - 15:23

      why did you vote for this deal if you think its useless?

      • deelaroo on 29/03/2019 - 16:39

        Deal or not shouldn’t be based on the product itself. Is it a good deal? Yep. Is it a crap product? Yep.

    For a little bit more you can get the 4K version from Newegg
    https://www.newegg.com/global/au-en/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815815007&Description=fire%20stick&cm_re=fire_stick--15-815-007--Product
    I paid about $73AUD a few days ago.

    • asa79 on 29/03/2019 - 15:38

      How does it compare to say the Mi box

      • GreggyT on 29/03/2019 - 15:46

        Cant really answer that, dont have a Mi Box and still waiting for it to be delivered , its coming from US.

    • gankmeplz on 29/03/2019 - 16:54

      does the 4k one work well in Australia ?

    • soymeat on 29/03/2019 - 17:00

      Thanks! I'm getting $72.30 AUD delivered on Newegg.

      Might be a much more tempting deal than the basic edition for many people.

  • revivor on 29/03/2019 - 15:41

    I'm gonna wait till they sell the 4k stick down under. The basic one is too laggy.

  • HunterBargainHunter on 29/03/2019 - 22:07

    Yeah this is a dumbed down version of a proper one. I have a 2nd Gen from overseas (not 4K) for a year now. You can do youtube through a browser but not directly as an app (kinda of a pain, but doable), and yes there is an easy web page on how to load kodi, which is nice if you are into kodi.

    I say wait for a proper version though.

  • chocsyrup on 07/04/2019 - 10:46

    What is a similarly priced option for a bedroom TV? I've got an Apple TV for the main TV, but am keen on a cheap option to let me watch Netflix on the bedroom TV.

    All the above comments are saying how rubbish it is, but the other options provided are an extra 50-100% of the price. It looks like the same Fire Stick from Amazon US comes to AU$73-ish?

    • paaj on 18/04/2019 - 12:23

      Vodafone TV at $72

  • Lancerx on 18/04/2019 - 00:10

    Speaking of which, any other to stream prime video to my home theatre projector, without buying firestick. Got a Minix Android box already. The only way I found possible is to use cast screen from chrome browser/

    • paaj on 18/04/2019 - 12:21

      can't you sideload the amazon apk onto your Android box?

      • Lancerx on 18/04/2019 - 20:35

        I can, but still can't play prime last I remember?

        • paaj on 19/04/2019 - 08:45

          I've got Amazon sideloaded on my Mi box and it works fine.
