yes

Shaggy · Answer

Yes it will but it will eat a lot of your data.

It depends. If you are using a public wifi hotspot owned by a business, you will get a browser window and have to click accept to connect to the hotspot. If this happens you might not be able to connect because the firetv doesnt have a browser. Amazon supposedly added software to bypass this during one of their updates but i havent tried it yet.

Yes but they eat up a lot of data and do buffer alot

Technically it should. Hotspot is using the internet from your phone to share the connection with another device. Fingers crossed you can get a strong enough signal while camping. As well, you'll likely need to power the stick somehow (i.e. outlet) vs using a USB port from the tv.

You need an HDMI port to plug it into.

As long as you have wifi of some sort the Fire TV Stick is an excellent streaming device.

RowMan · Answer

This will likely work, but be careful. You will end up using a lot of data to stream movies.
