Great device. I have a Roku Ultra, Chromecast with Google TV, and the Fire TV Max. I think this is my favorite device. It’s very zippy and smooth. I also love that it is so portable. I take it with me on vacation all the time and have no problem hooking it up at hotels or AirBnBs.

I purchased a Firestick for my Brother. I want to set it up for him with his information so when he gets it he can plug in and play. The only issue I see is I’ll be setting it up on my tv and my internet. Will he be able to change those setting bringing it to his house for his tv and internet settings ? This way the volume/ power and internet all work on his and not looking for my info? Thanks

Display setting at auto or set to highest 4K resolution? Colour bit depth at 8bits or higher?

Do you have a dedicated video about adding channels from various apps to the Firestick TV Guide?

How to set up a fire stick to my Polaroid TV

[josephb]

My fire stick won’t activate when I plug in the code.. why is that ? What can I do ?

[micalus]

I have a problem with 2 new 3rd gen firesticks I purchased on prime day. The problem is the firesticks work however the remotes that came with each one for some reason are not pairing with the firesticks (remotes are the one with the netflix, hulu, disney, and amazon button on bottom). But the old 2nd gen controllers I have work after pairing. Do you know why this is? And yes the new remotes light up and batteries are fresh they just are not pairing even after holding the home button for 10 seconds and longer. Any help would be appreciated
