  • Has anyone managed to run Steam Link or similar on their 4k Firestick or Max?

    • Well xbox live is now available in the appstore (hence this deal, perhaps) -see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6j-XHXzTIc.

      I'm fairly sure I've seen people run Moonlight client on them to connect to gaming rigs running Sunshine server.

    • Yes, install the apk from apkmirror via the Downloader app.

  • Can you still run developer mode on the new 4K Max?

    • Yes

      • That is good, Thanks.

  • anyway to get 1st app discount but having used the app before? also, can someone please confirm that you can still side-load Stremio on 4k Max?

  • Can anyone explain why we need this instead of the smart TV features we have with those new TVs?

    I got a 2007 Samsung smart TV but maybe the ram is too small and the apps runs very slow now, does this fire stick helps or?

    • +1

      These sticks help with TVs that are slow.

    • My mum has one on her old tv.
      I carry one with me when I travel so I can plug it into the tv and not have to login to each and every one of my apps (and then remember to log them out) as well as to compensate for old TV's which dont have any support.

    • Unless you have a newish Samsung TV, you need this to use Xbox Cloud Gaming.

    • Still way better than a smart TV, and can install apps etc. They were fully customisable, but Amazon has removed ADB access with more recent updates and some claim they may stop third party apps.

        Can't sideload Stremio app anymore?

        • Currently all apps work by sideloading, but theres talk they may remove that which would render the devices obsolete in My opinion as I don't use the paid streaming services. I try to block updates as much as I can, but seems like an update just installed when I left mine on. it still works currently though.

  • Definitely worth the upgrade from the other versions. The main issues with FireTV is the boot loop issues which seem to be caused by lack of storage in the earlier versions. I have had it happen 3 times and amazon are very good with dealing with it. The second issue though is amazon's forced updates which can disable or cripple things. Its very hard to block updates. I had my firetvs fully customised, updates blocked, just using for iptv and kodi, and the updates disabled that customisation by disabling adb and no way to enable again.
    Amazon also have the ability to remotely disable devices which is a bit concerning, which recently happened to My recently replaced firetv after they refunded me as agreed to

    They would be the perfect devices if it wasnt for the Amazon over control..

    • wouldnt Chromecast with Google Tv be a better option then?

      • I don't know much about google TV, but I will look into it. I just don't like the forced updates with firetv. I don't know what google does and if its friendly for installing custom apps, launchers etc.

        • +1

          Forced upgrade is something not very nice with the firetv stick.

          • @JieZ: Yes, and not knowing future plans. Already people saying some apps are being disabled. So I might find another alternative and not bother. Still a fairly good deal.

    • Crazy isn't it.. What proportion of their users are going the DIY route that they go to the trouble of disabling adb? Happily though my Fire TV lite is safe from forced updates after swapping it to Lineage OS

  • The 4K Max(amazon.com.au) can be reduced $10 further to $49 for first app purchases using the code FIRST10

    I've never used the Amazon app before. I was looking at the 4K Max this morning and noticed that they were now offering $20 off for first-time app users, so I was able to buy one for $39 using the FIRST20 code.

  • -3

    Not paying $59 for the max, $49 yes but not $59

    • Uncle Jeff dislikes this post

  • +1

    If my memory serves me correct, prices of these are cheapest on last day or prime, HOLD YOUR HORSES.

  • Has anybody used one of these devices which allow a fire stick to be used without an AC adapter? Any idea if it works properly? My TV is mounted and is not close to a power outlet.

      i have the 4k max and you can plug the provided cable into any USB ports on the TV and it works.

    • +1

      My 4k max works via a TV USB port but warns you the power may be insufficient for updating OS

  • +1

    There are reports that Game Pass doesn’t work with the Fire Stick in Australia. Can anyone confirm?

  • Anyone else look at this and think, I wish I could get the Onn 4K Pro in Aus?

  • +1

    This looks cool.
    Questions as a noobie:

    1) can I sideload any android app?
    2) can I sideload streaming apps?
    3) can I play Xbox pass with no console?
    4) can I install adblockers?
    5) can I install retro game emulation and use Bluetooth controllers?

  • My 2015 Nvidia Shield is still chugging along after 8 years of solid use - are these Fire Sticks worth an upgrade?

    • If it still works fine and you're happy with it - no.

  • +1

    Does anyone know if the native Stremio app runs better on an LG TV (LG CX) than the sideloaded version on a 4K Max? Mainly want to use Stremio with RealDebrid. Thanks!

  • Anyone know if it's better to have one version over another for Xbox game cloud? I have Chromecast for everything else. Cheers!

  • I want something I can travel with pug a USB thumb drive or external SSD and watch stuff via Kodi and that's about it. Will one of these do this Do I jst need a HDMI cable to plug into the TV. I don't really care about streaming but I guess support for Amazon Prime would be ok, ? Mostly 1080p stuff

  • Can someone recommend me an ethernet adaptor to go with firestick lite? Was hoping for a generic cheaper one but the current $23 deal on the Amazon version isn't too bad .

  • Price is same at JBHifi, If we buy there, can we still get one month Game Pass Ultimate ?

  • Can you "Chromecast" to this?
