A:AnswerNot for the Firestick itself but for some of the apps there will be, like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video. It makes it easy to use the apps but the apps have to be activated. There are some free apps.
A:AnswerTry to do a reset 1st or check if you can return or exchange at best buy
Contact amazon again by chat or phone
They will walk you through a reset and if still not working
Will send you a new one or a credit to purchase a new one
A:AnswerYes the firestick is I think the best for the price. It will handle any account you have say with Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney, YouTube, and the list goes on. You just plug it into any HDMI port on your tv. Go to your TV input on your remote and enter HDMI channel and you are off and running.

A:AnswerYes I do it on my Spectrum Brighthouse Internet only account. It's full speed ahead with not just their content but allot more live stuff. But it's not like the tv box.
