Why does the Amazon Fire TV stick broadcast a wireless signal and can it be disabled?
Why does the Amazon Fire TV stick broadcast a wireless signal and can it be disabled?Wireless radiation is super unhealthy so I don't use it in my house. Instead, I use an ethernet adapter for my FireTV stick. I've taken the batteries out of the creepy Amazon remote (has a mic) and use an RF keyboard remote instead. So there is no reason for it to be broadcasting (again.....creepy)If anyone can tell me why the Fire TV stick is broadcasting and/or how to turn off the broadcasting, I'd really appreciate it!Thanks!!
Arrived earlier than expected with regular international shipping to South Africa. Nice compact device that has a South African plug so we don’t need to use an international adaptor. Easily linked to my existing Amazon account, Netflix, Hulu etc. Does not have Alexa voice activation. Works like a charm - as good as my original, full function Fire Stick.
Don't believe the hype of jailbroken ones giving you every channel. This pice of crap. does nothing but make tour basic tv a smart TV. They are junk. I got 4. 1 works.
First thing I have to say is, your remote is awesome. not by choice, I drop it more times a day than I would like to count. Not once have I had problems with it. All I have to do is put the batteries back on , and voila!. Speaking of batteries, is there a way to make it where the batteries last longer? The streaming service is great, I have terrible internet service and the stick still works great. The one complain is that at the beginning I was able to watch y shows on the apps downloaded for the channel the show is on, and now I am not able, I understand it is because of the internet providers choice.
The Fire TV Stick works well and set up is easy, the hardware itself looks and feels nice and is responsive and easy to use.
Main reason to buy a Fire TV Stick would be to use with Amazon Prime / Video though, and the basic edition is made for countries that have a limited subset of Amazon Prime. I'm using this in The Netherlands and Amazon Prime only has a few movies and TV shows available, most of which I have already seen, renting or buying movies is not possible either.
So I'm using this mainly for Netflix, which works well, but the Netflix app for the TV Stick previews shows and starts playing shows automatically, which is quite annoying and cannot be switched off. I prefer to use my WD TV Life for Netflix as it doesn't have this preview and autoplay feature.
If you do not have full Prime access navigating the interface feels as if you are using an old device because of the old shows available and lack of updates. I'm hoping Amazon Prime in The Netherlands will be expanded in time, and actually bought it because I trust it will.
This is my second International Fire Stick. The first one, purchased in 2019, came with more features including Alexa. I was very surprised to see the remote on my 2020 version was much simpler. Still the fire stick works really great, no issues, just a very sound unit. I had previously tried the Google and Apple units, this works much better for streaming.
I finally got my Amazon Fire stick but now it's giving me a lot of problem it keeps cutting off and on it takes me awhile before I can get to my home screen tell me what can I do about that......?
Amazon is Amazon's own worst competitor. Once you've tried the non-basic, non-international version, Fire TV Stick 4K, the software in this product is revealed to be quite limited. And as you might expect, the image quality really can't compare to the 4K version. I was surprised at how pixelated it is.
First, let's briefly touch upon the positives. If you primarily want to watch Prime Video and have no 4K, this device will do just fine. The Prime Video app works better in the supported countries, than the imported 4K version does in the non-supported countries.
I would rather have recommended buying the 4K version from Ebay, if only the Prime video app on that worked equally well on it's prime function in this country. If you buy this device to use the Netflix app, get the 4K version off of eBay. If you get it to watch Prime Video and have 4K hardware, look for alternatives.
I watch Netflix on the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, but I ended up watching Amazon Prime with the Smart TV app. Go figure. I would not buy the Basic / International version again. Too many features missing, like no search, and no 4K - it looks more pixelated than I had expected.
