A:Answer No, an additional Fire Stick is not required. The Amazon app is included in the default apps on the device and the TV's remote is Alexa-enabled, so it operates as if a Fire Stick were installed right out of the box. You'll need to sign into Amazon in order to use Prime Video services, but if all you want is to watch local TV over the antenna or other apps (like Hulu or Sling) you can skip that step and use it as you would any other smart TV. For Amazon Prime customers, however, purchasing this TV means you don't need to add a Fire Stick to your shopping list to use Amazon features. (which saves $50-odd).
