Q: QuestionCan multiple TV's (each with its own Fire stick) play the same recorded show or even different recorded shows at the same time?
Asked by Fixer48.
- A:Answer Here is what I know, I have two TV's each with their own FireSticks, I have watched a recording in one room for thirty minutes and stopped because the meal was ready. I then went into the room where the other TV with a FireStick is and resumed watching the show from where I left off. I think it is possible to watch the same show on two tv's at the same time. There are only two tuners and so you can only record a maximum of two programs at the same time. Hope that helps
