    How does this compare to google Chromecast? If it the same kind of thing

    • placard on 25/08/2021 - 23:38

      I'm wondering the same. I hear the Chromecast struggles with 4K or disconnects from wifi often?

      Can you cast to this like you can the Chromecast TV? I'm assuming you can Chromecast to the new Google TV like you can older Chromecast?

      • Yorkshire-Man on 26/08/2021 - 05:30

        I have 2 chromecast tv sticks, the wifi thing was fixed via a software update. Can't comment on the fire stick but the chromecast is awesome.

        I've had the 4k stick for a few years now ever since it was first available on amazon.com and have never had issues with 4k content, except for the espn app which is simply a sh*t app in general. So unless this model has gone backwards, I'm sure it will handle 4k content fine.

  • winderic on 25/08/2021 - 23:06

    Good replacement for aging Vodafone TV?

    • cyssero on 25/08/2021 - 23:07

      Absolutely. Very capable and super easy to sideload apps with.

    • chihaeru on 25/08/2021 - 23:09

      Thinking of doing the same. Kodi on my Vodafone TV is godawfully slow.

      • Xizor on 25/08/2021 - 23:18

        Works fine for me, use it every night.

    How does it compare to the Google TV?

  • goose25 on 25/08/2021 - 23:33

    Been using one of these on my older non-smart 50" LG TV with a Yamaha receiver. Figured I'd provide some feedback on my experience so far:

    • Set-up was super simple. You need an Amazon account, but outside of that, it was straightforward.
    • It needed to update upon first boot, but even with my average internet connection, it was fast enough. It doesn't have an ethernet port, so you'll either need WiFi or to buy the ethernet adapter.
    • Compared to my Android-based smart TV in my living room, this Fire TV stick is much more snappy and responsive. The overall experience is better because of that.
    • The included remote is alright. Pressing the power button on it will turn on the Firestick, TV and sound system all at once. I can also control the volume with it.
    • I've managed to install "S-Tube Plus", (I think it's called), which is like an ad-free youtube (much like Vanced for those familiar with that).

    Will probably buy another one at this price to use in my living room, as it's a great value device!

    • Punkboy on 26/08/2021 - 00:08

      Thanks, I have one too but using the power button won't actually turn off the fire stick. Does it turn yours off?

      • HeyPapito on 26/08/2021 - 00:13
        +1

        Power button is to turn your tv off i think

        • philart on 26/08/2021 - 16:28

          Yes with CEC

      • whitelie on 26/08/2021 - 08:59

        I assumed it turned everything off as it boots up upon turning everything on. Kind of wish it went in to a standby mode as I find it takes a long time to get started compared to my smart TV's

      • Elegant Giant on 26/08/2021 - 09:12
        +1

        Should be able to hold the Home button for 5 seconds on the Fire Stick remote to bring up a menu where you can put it to sleep. The select button will wake it back up when you're ready for it.

        The power and volume buttons are for whatever you choose to have it control during setup. I linked it to my soundbar for easier control during movie watching - one less remote to leave next to me.

  • markb28 on 25/08/2021 - 23:45

    This is a good price, but I think the Google TV is just much more flexible, especially with sideloading and the range of available apps. The Google TV also has a better UI, the Fire stick is a bit dated. The Fire tv remote feels much better in the hand though. If you are just going to use to this for streaming the main Australian apps both are solid choices and both fast enough.

    • HeyPapito on 26/08/2021 - 00:17
      +1

      You can download a custom launcher that google tv uses, pair it with launcher hijack so it sets it as default

    • liam2021 on 26/08/2021 - 08:42

      can we sideloading the apps on firetv?

      • HeyPapito on 26/08/2021 - 19:08

        yeah i get mine from apkmirror. i use adblink on computer to install them to the firestick

    Dumb question but what can I do with a fire stick that I can't already do with a smart TV?

    • placard on 26/08/2021 - 00:02

      It's usually that most smart TV are very slow to use.

    • HeyHeyHeyIsItADeal on 26/08/2021 - 00:28

      I think you can sideload Youtube Vanced?

    • RogerLoger on 26/08/2021 - 07:09

      The main feature is you can toss it away and replace it relatively inexpensively when the set loses its smarts.

      Example 1) My smart Sony went dumb over a couple of years. Chromecast replaced the smarts.

      Example 2) My brother brought a house that came with 4 incredibly large smart sets (differing brands). None of the smarts worked. Instead of replacing the sets, he added Roku sticks.

      The Smart in TV is nothing more than a built-in obsolescence feature and a pathway for the manufacturer to spy on what you watch. .

      • Assyria on 26/08/2021 - 09:42

        So now the manufacturer of the fire stick can spy on you instead.

      Yeah it runs android so can run kodi, plex and any other android app

    • glub on 26/08/2021 - 10:24

      Kodi isn't the best anymore, Cinema HD is a much more user friendly alternative (so i hear from SWIM)

    Bought this for $99 literally like 3 days ago. Any way I can get the difference back?

    • bruce551 on 26/08/2021 - 00:36

      Yes, you can ask for price difference from seller or else return it and buy another.

      • Barnzy on 26/08/2021 - 00:40

        Buying it again and returning other one. Worth it for an extra $30

      Not on the Amazon app but you can download the APK package using the downloaded app. Simple set up, just google it.

    • homsniff on 26/08/2021 - 06:50

    Can I pair this device with any of the new Dell monitors using WiFi?

    • Must Buy More on 26/08/2021 - 12:54

      You should be able to plug it into the HDMI slot in the Dell monitor. Power might be supplied separately.

    • liam2021 on 26/08/2021 - 08:45

      shoyldn't be a problem, there are still lot of content to watch and enjoy for 1080p

      • EightImmortals on 26/08/2021 - 08:51

        Thanks, I already have a normal firestick and didn't know if the 4K one made the content look nicer on my current Plasma.

        • Kill Joy on 26/08/2021 - 08:59

          No stick with the normal firestick for now, you want really get much benefit.

    moving from a Chromecast Ultra which seems to lag on some videos I'm streaming - am I better off with a Chromecast TV or this?

  • pooran on 26/08/2021 - 09:13

    Works very well as a cheaper alternative to the previous gen Shield. Just beware internal memory is limited and you will need an adapter to add external USBs

  • winderic on 26/08/2021 - 09:33

    Just to confirm you can cast to firestick from mobile? Thanks.

  • Wilburre on 26/08/2021 - 09:41

    bought the new non 4k variant recently (my tv isn't 4k and it was cheaper). the tv control buttons are quite good and pretty useful - now just a single remote to turn tv on and off, adjust volume and stream. only thing it is missing is the ability to select inputs, which requires you to use your tv's remote if you weren't on the input the fire tv is using when you turned your tv off. newer tv's than mine are probably smart enough to detect the active input anyway so may not actually be a thing for some or most people.

  • Svky on 26/08/2021 - 09:46

    is the remote better than CCGWTV remote? i am so frustrated with chrome's remote.

    • bamzero on 26/08/2021 - 11:27

    I bought the original Firestick a while ago. I found the 8Gbs of storage is an issue.
    I downloaded some Amazon Jackbox games and wasn't able to play some of them as the stick filled up.

    For some reason my Hisense Smart TV doesn't have the Disney+ app, so I have used the Firestick to stream Disney + that way.

    • placard on 26/08/2021 - 10:40

      You can pretty much "jailbreak" it to get any movie ever

    • philart on 26/08/2021 - 16:39

      Download the VPN app of your choosing from the Amazon app store and then pick the country from where you want your data to go via and you're done. Don't forget to deactivate when not needed.

      • bamzero on 26/08/2021 - 11:34

        Code is FIRETV15
        Says "Bundle any 2 Fire TV sticks for an extra 15% off using this Amazon discount code"

        Not working for me though. "The promotional code you entered is not valid. "

        • Bargainaholic on 26/08/2021 - 11:47

          If you look at the t/c's on the offer it says valid until 30/09/2021. Jump on live chat and explain to them that it wont allow to use the code and then they will advise you that they will refund the difference when your item is delivered. Make sure for them to leave notes on your account to make the refund process easier.

          • bamzero on 26/08/2021 - 11:55
