I've had the firestick app for years it's quicker using this to write something on the search bar instead of the TV screen. 👍

Will the screen mirroring work with iPhone/Airplay? 😊

[JoeMaps]

Easy to understand, thanks Craig. A question: My firestick somehow is recording every program (an orange bar is on the bottom of every channel ). However, the program isn't being recorded. Something new or upgrade of Firestick? Driving us crazy!!Thanks

How can I cut the internet cable? I signed up for FUBU tv so now I can get rid of Comcast/Xfinity overpriced cable tv. But, do I have to keep their internet connection?
