      For in-built Chromecast - Google TV
      Everything else - Fire TV

      That being said, you can mirror-cast but it just lacks the simplicity of chromecast. Everything else is a much of a muchness but Fire TV is a nicer experience stock and even faster when modded because of higher specs.

      • Nickbag on 28/10/2021 - 12:00

        i have hisense q8 and want to cast movies via phone or laptop, what will you recommend firetv or chromecast.

        • LiteDough on 28/10/2021 - 20:51

          A quick Google search says your hisense has screen mirroring - fire TV has screen mirroring NOT chromecasting.
          If you don't know the difference - just try it on your TV, it'll be quicker than getting a new device. If you don't like it, fire TV won't make it any better. So if you need casting, yea get a Chromecast.

          Also what are you casting/watching? Are you casting personal files from your laptop, or apps (Netflix, Disney,7plus, youtube)? If it's latter, I would get whatever is cheapest (probably fire stick). Instead of casting/mirroring, stream direct on the device.

    • YELNATS on 28/10/2021 - 10:01

      IMO this is much better. The Google TV is slow I constantly have issues with it using Kodi on it. The Firestick is a much better unit. The only + for google is "Hey Google" is better than Alexa!

  • Webluce on 28/10/2021 - 00:38

    Anyone know if you can use this (or google tv) to stream from your phone without wifi. Using your phones data.

    • HagridNip on 28/10/2021 - 02:09

      You can use the Amazon Fire Stick with your phone’s hotspot, but you should probably know that it’s quite the drainer of cellular data.

      • Webluce on 28/10/2021 - 03:53

        Thanks for the reply

      Why would you buy it for $99 in the first place when the 4k Max is the same price?

      • sk3iron on 28/10/2021 - 05:09

        I suspect retailers doing the dodgy hiding the max stock behind counter whilst they clear the old stock on shelf.

      • bennybaubles on 28/10/2021 - 12:41

        Cos I bought it for my mum who doesn’t have a 4K tv

        • SS625 on 28/10/2021 - 14:01

          why you buy a 4k stick when your tv isnt 4k?

  • drasticmeasures1337 on 28/10/2021 - 00:59
    +11

    The good:

    • Dolby Vision
    • One of the few devices that are able to Direct Play MKV with DV from Plex without issues
    • Decent remote with mic
    • $49 for a 4K stick
    • Allows negative A/V sync

    The bad:

    • Can't disable the black screen that comes after screensaver. I guess it's supposed to prevent burn-in but only causes me to not realise the TV is on overnight
    • MP4 with DV Direct Play in Plex playback is buggy and keeps pausing all the time
    • Non-HDR 4k60 for some reason defaults to YUV422 instead of RGB
    • Playback issues if you enable adjusting output resolution and refresh rate to content
    • liam2021 on 28/10/2021 - 01:45

      One more bed, it doesn't have volume control on itself where to reply on the compatibility of your paired tv, so if the tv isn't compatible with this thing, you will have to use your tv's remote for volum control.

      • Richardc on 28/10/2021 - 02:01

        Auto pairing failed with my Hisense tv, but success with manual pairing.

        • liam2021 on 28/10/2021 - 10:08

          Failed ith my Hitachi 4k 75inch , no matter auto or manual pairing. Also struggled with Hisense tv too.

      • Yekul on 28/10/2021 - 06:53
        +2

        Tried it on ~10 TVs so far across family members and yet to find one it doesn't work on. Some TVs (was it Hisense?) had a crapload of manual entries to try. I guess they change the IR codes around a LOT between models.

      • ShouldIBuyIt on 28/10/2021 - 07:13

        This one has volume control. You must have bought the lite one.

      • drasticmeasures1337 on 28/10/2021 - 09:02

        This one definitely has volume control which works just fine with my LG.

      • edBARGAIN on 28/10/2021 - 11:13

        yes this is a downside, fire tv should of had its own volume control on its interface. Would of been a great function while pairing Bluetooth earphones/headphones/speakers with no volume control

    • nofate on 28/10/2021 - 02:40
      +2

      You can disable sleep (the black screen) after screen saver. Its a bit hidden/work around but here is the instruction link I used and can confirm it works great!

      • drasticmeasures1337 on 28/10/2021 - 09:06

        Woah! Looks promising, I'm definitely trying this out today, thx!

      Modern TVs have an auto offtimer, should be in settings

      • drasticmeasures1337 on 28/10/2021 - 09:05

        They do, but in ones like mine the timer is disabled if they're receiving any signal (even just black screen) which is what the FireTV is doing

      Also: No app for Binge (though I blame Binge for this, not Amazon).

      • edBARGAIN on 28/10/2021 - 11:16

      When did this happen? This is from the product description on Amazon: "Watch live TV, on demand shows and movies for free with apps like ABC iview, SBS On Demand, 7plus, 9Now and 10 play (some apps are ad-supported)."

    • edBARGAIN on 28/10/2021 - 01:28

      i can watch 9now on fire tv + all the other aust channels

    • sk3iron on 28/10/2021 - 05:12

      Have it on mine and it downloaded via official Amazon store…

        Sorry I thought this applied to all Fire TVs but I guess only some are affected.

        I can't download 9now on my Fire TV Stick Basic Edition but all other Australian channels I can. The only other source where I found others raising their concerns is on the 9now app (android) [reviews] (https://www.amazon.com.au/Nine-9Now/dp/B08BG2643P?ref_=d6k_a…) from the Amazon app store. I know these are android reviews but some reviews refer to their Fire TV sticks.

    • HeyPapito on 28/10/2021 - 03:37

      PS5 definitely, this stick takes a bit sometimes to load stuff. Only get if you want to sideload stuff you cant get on ps5 like youtube app with no ads

      • tainhendesu on 28/10/2021 - 03:56

        Thanks! I'll stick with the PS5

    • sk3iron on 28/10/2021 - 05:16

      It is designed to stream primarily from the ground up so has a remote, nicer interface designed for the purpose and not a gaming interface and operates as such versus designed for games and operates as streaming interface secondary. I would've thought the comparisons were obvious though. Probably the biggest difference as stated above though is the ability to sideload.

  • MiscOzB on 28/10/2021 - 04:06

    I'm assuming Amazon AU are clearing stock for the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max

    Or they're just price matching JB and TGG.

      That's not really how it works. The sale at retailers would have been organised by amazon.

      Amazon would have given retailers a special buy, or paid a price protection to reduce the effective cost price on existing stock.

      • ShouldIBuyIt on 28/10/2021 - 08:21

        Oh really? Haven't used Vodafone TV since I got Chromecast with Google TV. Did they update the interface of VTV recently?

        • Cousin IT on 28/10/2021 - 12:04
          +1

          If you've let the updates come through, the VTV should now have pretty much the same interface as the CCwGTV, as it's just an app that gets updated and not the firmware.

      • tomsco on 28/10/2021 - 09:23

        Cheers. This is the review I needed.

        I want one of these (keyword, want, not need), but I already have 2 VTV and a CCwGTV, so will avoid for a bit longer.

      • sween64 on 28/10/2021 - 09:38

        I'm still very happy with my MiBox S. It needs a fresh install a couple of times a year, usually due to Kodi errors. Otherwise it's great.

        Yep for some reason they don't distribute the 4k versions to Aussie firrsticks. It works overseas no problem. I think that applies for Disney plus too.

        • ItsMeAgro on 28/10/2021 - 18:00

          Disney plus is definitely a lot better quality on the Fire TV Stick 4K than web browsers. Not sure if it's actually 4k, but the visual quality is better on my 1080p projector.

    • neonlight on 29/10/2021 - 05:33

    Hey guys to play 4k videos what wifi or Ethernet speed you need? I'm thinking the EOP I'm using for the firetv 4k stick is not enough or my Wifi 5ghz is not enough as well.

    Therefore prime video scales down when it detects your bandwidth can only max at 1080p

      If you scroll down a little this shows that the difference between Fire TV Stick Lite (2020) vs Fire TV Stick 4k (2018) is the RAM 1GB vs 1.5GB but no CPU Difference.

      https://liliputing.com/2021/09/amazon-fire-tv-stick-stick-li…

      In Kodi you can enable "Enable Debugging Logging" in "System" —> "Settings" —> "Logging" depending on your skin will be in a different spot.

      I would then monitor Kodi to see if it's related to RAM or CPU if it's a CPU bottleneck upgrading to Fire TV Stick 4k (2018) won't fix anything.

      (I doubt there is a Fire TV Stick 4k (2020) edition but others might be able to confirm)
